11089Do you understand, friend, as well as read this book? 11089 I am glad,"replied I,"to hear you say so; and pray what is the good book you read?"
11089Again, who is it that teaches your slaves to read?

11089CHAPTER IV ACTUAL EDUCATION Would these professions of interest in the mental development of the blacks be translated into action?
11089Doomed then to be half- fed, poorly clad, and driven to death in this cotton kingdom, what need had the slaves for education?
11089Has one susceptibilities of improvement, mentally, socially, and morally?
11089Here is something_ practical_; where are the whites and where are the blacks that will respond to it?
11089I asked him likewise, how he got comfort under all his trials?
11089I know him; he is a very good man; but what does he say to your leaving his work to read your book in the field?
11089Is one bound by the laws of God to improve the talents he has received from the Creator''s hands?
11089Is one embraced in the command''Search the Scriptures''?
11089Now the question which naturally arises here is, to what extent were such efforts general?
11089Now, colored men, what do you mean to do, for you must do something?
11089So I see you have been reading, my lad?
11089Supposing however the funds raised for such an institution, where are the professors to come from?
11089The Bible!--Pray when did you get this book?
11089They_ must_ be educated in this country; and how can that be done without establishing an institution specially for young colored men?
11089Was interest in the education of this class so widely manifested thereafter as to cause the movement to endure?
11089Well did you do so?
11089Well, I have a great curiosity to see what you were reading so earnestly; will you show me the book?
11089Well, what does that book teach you?
11089Were these beginnings sufficiently extensive to secure adequate enlightenment to a large number of colored people?
11089What Boss anti- slavery mechanic will take a black boy into his wheelwright''s shop, his blacksmith''s shop, his joiner''s shop, his cabinet shop?
11089What can be done in order to instruct poor children, white and black to read?
11089What directions shall we give for the promotion of the spiritual welfare of the colored people?
11089Where are the antislavery milliners and seamstresses that will take colored girls and teach them trades, by which they can obtain an honorable living?
11089Who is your master?
11089Who would tolerate an indictment against his son or daughter for teaching a slave to read?
11089Would the whites permit the blacks to continue as their competitors after labor had been elevated above drudgery?
11089Would they secure to Negroes the educational privileges guaranteed other elements of society?
11089[ 3] Answering these inconsistent persons, John Wesley inquired:"Allowing them to be as stupid as you say, to whom is that stupidity owing?
11089_ How_ shall this be done?
25797La proprià © tà ©, c''est le vol?
25797A cry seemed to have gone forth,"Who is on the Lord''s side?
25797And how will it stand the test?
25797And so our fellow- radicals have more than once said to us,"If you are really keen on education, why do n''t you start a school of your own?"
25797And the result?
25797Are the old Public Schools the best medium for political education, or should the new wine be poured into new bottles?
25797Are we then to help forward the forces making for our own Prussianisation?
25797But how can this be worked?
25797But the reader will already be asking,"What is all this to do with political education?"
25797But the reader will be asking, for the second time,"What is all this to do with political education?"
25797But what part are the public school men going to play?
25797But why do so many of these repeat and repeat the process, until the thing becomes a habit for which they can find no escape?
25797But, supposing the socialist teaching is false, why should those who are not Socialists fear for the result?
25797Does not this suggest that every house should take a French daily newspaper, and also an illustrated weekly, other than that above mentioned?
25797Every individual possesses a portion of this foundation as his right; and what is the result, under these circumstances, of lack of individuality?
25797For why is there a danger of our instrument of education being turned into an instrument of obscurantism?
25797Had n''t you better give up all this foolery with politics and do a little real work?"
25797How can political differences among the masters themselves be made to play a helpful rather than an injurious part?
25797How, then, can the compromise be effected?
25797Is not the same true of many homes?
25797It all comes round to the old question,"Are we going to apply Christianity to the problems of modern society or are we not?"
25797Masters at many schools have exclaimed,"How on earth does this Rugby man come to know all about_ us_?"
25797More than once a boy has said to one of us,"What am I to do to get into touch with my father?
25797Ought the schoolmaster to possess, or appear to possess, complete knowledge of the subject he teaches?
25797The sole remaining question, then, is, By what means is education to rectify the immediate evils?
25797Well, what is robbery?
25797What do we want?
25797What else is this but political propaganda?
25797What is it that the parents want from the schools?
25797What is the present situation?
25797Which would you have?
25797Who?"
25797Would the good or the bad element in human nature assert itself in the face of absolute annihilation?
25797Would this be the result of the sight of approaching universal destruction?
25797Yet what would you have?
25797[ 1] Is there a little irony here?
25797and is not Politics just the one subject in which propaganda is above everything undesirable?
25797have they never wanted me till now?"
32768Are you a child of God? 32768 Do you mean to say that we ca n''t have a service of song and prayer on these grounds?"
32768How many do you think can be depended on to carry on such a course as is proposed?
32768What do you mean?
32768What were the last words of Admiral Nelson?
32768What would you think of a course of reading in history?
32768What?
32768With what words did Oliver Cromwell dismiss the Long Parliament?
32768Also Dr. Hamilton Wright Mabie, editor and essayist, spoke on"The East and West, Friends or Enemies?"
32768Are you a partaker of the divine nature?
32768As we stood in a building which we had named"Normal Hall,"I asked a lady by the window,"Is this a cyclone?"
32768Beard please explain the difference between a natural consequence and a miracle?"
32768But Chautauqua is a great place, is n''t it?"
32768But the boys shouted,"Ca n''t we stamp it down now?"
32768But there must be some good books of other kinds-- can''t you tell me of them?"
32768C.?"
32768Ca n''t you give me the names of some such books?"
32768Can we wonder that Chautauqua is a sacred and blessed name to multitudes of Americans?
32768Could members and leaders be found for four separate clubs in one locality?
32768Could the multitudes from every State and from foreign lands be attracted from Philadelphia five hundred miles to Chautauqua Lake?
32768Dr. Stuntz led him to a window, pointed to the American flag flying over the castle, and said;"Do you see that flag?
32768E. B. Bryan"Who are Good Citizens?"
32768Had the quest of the American people for new interests been satisfied by two years at the Assembly?
32768He looks like a good man, does n''t he?"
32768How should the requisite dollars by the thousand be raised?
32768How would the grounds appear when forty classes should have little headquarters-- a C. L. S. C. village?
32768How would the regular constituency of Chautauqua feel at this innovation?
32768I paused in the lesson and said:"I am somewhat of a stranger here-- how long does it take a thunder storm to arrive?"
32768Is Chautauqua great enough, original enough, sufficiently beneficial to the world to have its history written?
32768Is another story of Frank Beard on that evening beneath the dignity of history?
32768Is there no statement in print of the views that must or must not be expressed by the different speakers?"
32768It was noticed that in the very opening the Amphitheater was filled;--what would it become at the height of the season, the first two weeks in August?
32768Let us endeavor to answer the question-- Why does the mother- Chautauqua still stand supreme?
32768May we not find here the germ destined to grow into the Palestine Park of the Chautauqua Assembly?
32768Some of his evening callers said,"What have you got back there?"
32768THE CHAUTAUQUA SALUTE BY MAY M. BISBEE Have you heard of a wonderful lily That blooms in the fields of air?
32768That put an end to any prospect of songs and speeches, for who could command silence to such a din?
32768The Recognition Address this year was by President E. B. Bryan of Colgate University, on the all- important question:"Who are Good Citizens?"
32768The first one is a very old struggle: It is, how shall we get any leisure?
32768The first question on the paper was,"What is your name and address?"
32768The girls looked at her in surprise and asked"Is this your birthday?"
32768The minister thought a moment, and then said slowly,"Well, what kind of books do you want-- religious books, for instance?"
32768The one most notable was that entitled,"Does Death End All?"
32768The question might be asked, Why have none of the ten thousand rivaled the first, the original Chautauqua?
32768There were books enough in the world, but how could he choose the right ones?
32768Twenty years afterward I met a prominent Methodist minister at a Conference, who said to me,"Do n''t you remember me, Dr. Hurlbut?
32768What had wrought the change?
32768What shall you do with your leisure?
32768What would you recommend for me?"
32768Who are you?
32768Who are you?
32768Who otherwise would have thought of songs for Chautauqua, and called upon a poet to write them?
32768Why try to rival the high schools and arouse the criticism of the colleges?
32768With never a stem or a pale green leaf, Spotless, and white, and fair?
32768Would not the circle break up into fragments from the weight of the machinery needed to keep the wheel in motion?
32768or a Roosevelt?"
32768what is a king?
47621Who can find a virtuous woman? 47621 _ It is his soul which is in paradise-- his body only in the grave._""His soul and body then are not the same thing?"
47621_ It is the soul''s going into paradise._"And what is death?
47621_ No-- It will live for ever in heaven._Add:"And you, do you wish to be saved?"
47621_ No._"The soul, therefore, is not dead?
47621_ Pardon me, he is._"How can he be in the grave and in paradise at the same time?
47621_ Yes._"But what is being saved?
47621_ Yes._"He is not then in paradise?
47621--Moreover are we not conscious of a singular pleasure in recalling to mind the images of youth?
47621And can they regulate these passions when in their possession?
47621And do they not always go too far, when their minds have been but little enlightened?
47621And what does the soul do?
47621Beauty is not desirable unless it produces advantageous marriages: and how should it effect this, unsupported by merit and virtue?
47621But admitting that women are by nature weaker than men, what is the consequence?
47621But after death, when you will be under the ground, shall not you be like this doll?
47621But is it not natural that the defence or augmentation of a country should be subordinate to the ultimate object of cultivating it peaceably?
47621But what is the learning a language?
47621But you will say, how are those histories to be repeated in a lively, short, natural, and agreeable manner?
47621But, at length, we must fix_ a true persuasion_--and how are we to set about it?
47621Does it make much noise?
47621Does not, therefore, all this prove that the first impressions and first habits are the strongest?
47621Does this variety justify, before God and man, so rash and scandalous a conduct, and so likely to be imitated by others?
47621For example--"Why did you confess your fault?"
47621For instance-- are you in want of any thing?
47621Go on, in a playful manner,"Do you know this table?"
47621Has she not also need of observing and thoroughly knowing those people whom she places near them?
47621Have brutes intellect-- are they learned?
47621Have they not duties to perform, which are the very foundation of human existence?
47621Have you any thing crabbed or difficult to propose?
47621Have you_ heard_ it?
47621Have you_ touched_ it?
47621If women go too far, ought they not to be answerable for the consequences?
47621In regard to Girls, some exclaim,"why make them learned?
47621In such a situation what is she to do?
47621Is it cold or hot?"
47621Is it in plunging a young girl in philosophical subtleties?
47621Is it not to excite the passions of men?
47621Meantime what is to fill this vacuity?
47621Of what advantage is victory, if it enable us not to gather the fruits of peace?
47621Of what colour is it?
47621Or, if widows, they still attend to them more closely?
47621Ought not these considerations to impress us with the importance of female education?
47621Say then to a child who is capable of a little reasoning-- Is it your soul that eats?
47621She will still keep laughing-- but pursue the discourse-- Is the window very wise?
47621The brightest talents have been engaged to form plans and modes of instruction:--What numbers of masters and colleges do we behold?
47621The_ world_ is not a phantom, it is_ the aggregate of all its families_; and who can civilize and govern these with a nicer discrimination than women?
47621Then say-- But does this table know you?
47621Then say--"how, would you suffer your head to be cut off in order to enter paradise?"

47621What, then, are her occupations?
47621When such giddy female characters strive to please-- what is their real object?
47621Where are the teachers who can accomplish such a thing?
47621Would you, we may exclaim, hazard your own soul and that of your neighbour by the indulgence of a foolish vanity?
47621_ No._ And your soul will be in heaven?
47621_ No._ Why-- has it no intellect?
47621_ No._ You will no longer know any body?
47621_ To be sure._"You see clearly that it is not made like that chair, which is formed of wood, and not like the chimney piece, of stone?"

38179Why do they eat worms? 38179 Why does a tree grow, instead of being always tall?"
38179Why is John Smith handsome while Tom Brown is ugly?

38179Now,--what could be done for the children''s education here?

38730But how shall we handle these_ Märchen_ and what method shall we employ in putting them to account for our special purpose?
38730But if you fix the time at all, is it not worth while to fix it with approximate exactness?
38730But is it not a duty to denounce evil and evil- doers and to put the innocent on their guard against wolves in sheep''s clothing?

38730Wouldst thou be sure that there is such a thing as a divine Power?
38730You do not wish to suffer?

27742And how did you harness the horses to the whipple- tree?
27742And what do you teach the children?
27742Are you the master, my friend?
27742How do all other men out of the Protestant communion, Papists, Mohammedans, Jews, and Gentiles, reason and act in the education of their children? 27742 Is a man,"remarks President Caldwell,"constitutionally and habitually indolent, a burden upon all from whom he can extract a support?
27742Is this picture too high- colored? 27742 Now how is this?
27742Shall I say to the children that this person is_ not_ a_ gentleman_, and thus destroy his influence? 27742 Why, then, were you appointed the schoolmaster?"
27742''Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots?
27742A large portion of the children''s time is taken up with reading the lessons and reciting the prayers; and what are the effects?
27742After spelling, I have heard the teacher say to the class, One I.?
27742And do they even carry this inconsistency into the''house of worship?''
27742And how can we expect them to be so, more than seeing people?
27742And how may they be remedied?
27742And if so, how can that improvement be best effected?
27742And should we not humbly invoke His aid in our efforts to learn and to do his will?
27742And what are we to anticipate when only the physical energies of men generally are thus developed?
27742And where shall they receive this education, if not in the school- house?
27742And who can estimate the value of such an acquisition?
27742And who were their teachers?
27742And why is this?
27742And why?
27742And yet, when carried to the utmost, what may we expect of one destitute of virtue, and without strength of body?
27742Are we right or are we wrong here?
27742As a history, to interest, instruct, and improve the youthful mind, what other book in the world can compare with it?
27742But do they acknowledge it humbly and repentingly, as with a consciousness of sin?
27742But how shall the evil in question be remedied?
27742But how?
27742But is this at all necessary?
27742But it is often asked, Why is it not just as well to raise the lower sash of the windows as to lower the upper one?
27742But should philosophers be freed from such terrific visions, if substantial knowledge has not the power of banishing them from the mind?
27742But the reader may inquire, what is the use of the holes and the pins?
27742But what is the actual attendance upon the primary and common schools of the country?
27742But whence, then, has arisen the prevailing opinion that stoves are unhealthy?
27742But why are these things so?
27742But why, let me ask, did the Creator give us the sense of smell?
27742Do they become disgusted with the Missal and Breviary by this daily familiarity?
27742Do they discard their sacred books from the schools as too holy for common and familiar use?
27742Had tobacco been known to the Hebrews, who can doubt that it would have been among the articles prohibited by the Levitical law?
27742Has any man wasted all his property, or ended in debt by indiscretion and misconduct?
27742Has any one ruined himself, and done all he could to corrupt others by dissipation, drinking, seduction, and a course of irregularities?
27742How far will it fall the next three seconds?
27742How long must the state, like those same unfortunate children, suffer the punishment of THEIR existence before IT will be reformed?"
27742How much further will it fall during the ninth second than in the fifth?
27742How shall such cases be met?
27742How shall we secure the attendance of children generally at the schools, provided good ones are established?
27742I ask again, what is to be done?
27742I have more than once received, in answer to the question"What is language?"
27742I inquired of the class,''What is a taper?''
27742I next inquired,''What does glimmer mean?''
27742IN WHAT DOES A CORRECT EDUCATION CONSIST?
27742In answer to the question"What is arithmetic?"
27742In what does a correct Education consist?
27742Is it not apparent, then, that_ man subsists more upon_ AIR_ than upon his_ FOOD_ and_ DRINK?
27742Is it not in pagan lands, over which moral and intellectual darkness broods, and where men are vile without shame, and cruel without remorse?
27742Is it strange, under such circumstances, that an early and invincible repugnance to the acquisition of knowledge is imbibed by the youthful mind?
27742Is the common use of any good thing which a kind Providence intended for all, calculated to make men underrate it?
27742Lardner, in a lecture on the moon, in answer to the question, Does the moon influence the weather?
27742Nay, has he returned from a prison, after an ignominious atonement for some violation of the laws?
27742Neither can he fasten his eye upon any workmanship or contrivance of man without asking two questions: first, How is it?
27742Of two schools, of equal advantages in other respects, which is best regulated and most easily governed?
27742The best of Heaven''s gifts, it is true, are_ liable_ to be perverted and abused; but ought this to deter us from using them thankfully and properly?
27742The teacher inquired of the class, How much upward of forty thousand tons would the pressure be?
27742The white man replies,"_ Not any._""_ Not any?_"says the Indian, in astonishment;"then you are_ just like my dog_; he''s got no religion."
27742There is some novelty in this remark, I admit: but is it not truthful?
27742To the Corinthians he says,''Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in you?
27742Was it to be thus perverted?
27742What has thus suddenly improved its condition?
27742What is a man If his chief good and market of his time Be but to sleep and feed?
27742What is to be done?
27742What were the Scriptures given us for, if not to be read by the old and the young, the high and the low?
27742What, then, must be the condition of persons deprived of both of these senses?
27742When will the state learn that it is better to spend its units for prevention than tens and hundreds for remedy?

27742Who are the most moral and well- principled class in the community?
27742Who is sufficient for these things?
27742Who of you has not followed some young friend to his long resting- place, and found that the grass had not grown rank upon the grave of his brother?
27742Who would not shrink from such an education?
27742Why do the masters of oratory, who charm great audiences with their recitations, take so many of their themes from the Bible?
27742Why should supernatural beings feel so shy in conversing with men of science?
27742Yet what person of sense ever complained of too tender a conscience, or too perfect a sense of right and wrong in morals?"
27742and His blessing to attend those efforts?
27742and where are the young men and women who would listen to them if they did?
27742and who should confine his labors almost entirely to_ condemned criminals_?
27742and, secondly, How can it be improved?
27742four; and so on, to two X.''s?
27742how is that?"
27742or shall I pass it over in silence, and thus leave them to draw the natural inference that all I have said on the subject is only a woman''s whim?"

27742which has most of the fear of God in it, the deepest reverence for his word, that where the Bible is read or from which it is excluded?
27742which never had either a theology or a mythology?
8940And can you believe we can much care for mere_ words_ of insult, after that?
8940And in what manner, for the most part, is this precious time expended by those of no mental cultivation?
8940And is it_ because_ these would be the consequences, that they disapprove it?
8940And to_ what_ extent?
8940And what_ were_ they taught-- those of them who gave their attendance and attention?
8940And when the senses have thus usurped the whole mind for their service, how will you get any of it back?
8940And where?--but on all who have voluntarily concurred and co- operated in systems and schemes, which could deliberately put_ such_ a thing last?
8940And why was all this?
8940And_ is_ this spirit crushed?

8940But the two classes so beheld in contrast, might they not seem to belong to two different nations?
8940But then for the means of depreciating that currency, so as to drive it at last out of circulation?

8940Now then, as carrying with them this quality of a test, how were those men received in the community?
8940Now, may we presume that by knowledge, or information, is meant a clear understanding of a subject?

8940What is it that I should be, more than the animal that I am?
8940What is it that is manifesting itself in the most remarkable events in the old, and what has been called the new world, at the present time?
8940What is there then that should reduce them, as individual agents, to such utter and willing insignificance in the affair of which we are speaking?
8940What is to give fulness of evidence to an instruction, if a world be too narrow; what is to give it weight, if a world be too light?
8940What reasonable and benevolent man would think of making any objection to it?
8940What was it that this intelligent depravity would stop short of accomplishing?
8940When the means are of so little splendid a quality, it will be said, by what inflation of fancy is their power admeasured to such effects?
8940Why repress our delight in contemplating it?
8940Will the hearers of the sentence just now repeated from the sacred book, give a moment''s attention to the effect it has on them?

23312Does it ever occur to us to ask what becomes of this energy, deprived thus of its natural outlet?
23312Does it not seem as if an intelligent girl of fourteen or fifteen could be taught these in twelve lessons of one hour each?
23312Does one profession blind the eyes more than the other?
23312Dr. Clarke, in great perplexity, asks doubtfully"if there might not be appropriate co- education?"
23312EFFECTS OF MENTAL GROWTH A few years since, when Mr. Higginson''s essay"Ought Women to learn the Alphabet?"
23312Even in the narrowest view possible to the teacher, is it not for her interest that her pupils should be healthy?
23312For whose admiration and attraction do our young women array themselves?
23312Has such a woman missed the crown and glory of womanhood?
23312Has the education which we have been giving our girls tended to develop these?
23312Have we found anything there to frighten even a physiologist?
23312Have we not the right to decide in which way the leveling shall be effected-- the equation be formed?
23312How are we to get it?
23312How can a mother rest when she does n''t know where her girls are, or by what dangerous steps they have gone where they are?
23312How can mental work be satisfactorily done without physical vigor?
23312How can she rest?
23312How find a remedy for this evil?
23312How have they stood the"wear and tear"?
23312How many are hopeless invalids, dragging out"tedious days and still more tedious nights"?
23312How stem this tide of insidious poison that is sapping the strength of body and mind?
23312How then are we to lay the foundations of a sincere education?
23312How, but by educating their taste till they shall not desire such trash, and shall only be disgusted with it, if by chance it fall under their eyes?
23312How, but by giving their minds steady and regular work?
23312I asked,"About how many hours do your good students work?"
23312If Vassar College had a mission, was it not, clearly, to contribute something to that consummation?
23312If she has not a loving mother, how can she endure life without this support?
23312If so, why do girls suffer more in health?
23312If the beginning of brain- work were deferred till a girl were jaded with dissipation, how much could be accomplished in season for self- support?
23312If we can have intellectual development and physical activity combined, is it not a thing to be devoutly wished?
23312Is it any wonder if some who might endure the one, fail under the weight of both?
23312Is it not at once seen how a requisition of this kind will gently force her into habits of order?
23312Is it not manifest, that while the demands upon the vital force have been increased, the supply of material has been decreased?
23312Is it not our own fault, and shall we not so educate our girls that they shall not fall into it, since they comprehend its unreason?
23312Is it possible that we are no longer"perfect even as he is perfect"in this regard?
23312Is not the temple as much ruined when this profanation has been accomplished, as if the walls had fallen?
23312Is not_ gentleman_ our highest term for all that is honorable and manly?
23312Is the future of American women any less dear to the teaching profession than to the medical profession?
23312Is there any country in the world equal to America in the irregularity and spasmodic nature of the demands which society makes upon its women?
23312Is there not the wonderful thistle- down to be blown away, and the flight of each silken- winged seed to be watched with anxious eyes?
23312My health impaired there?
23312Need mothers be reminded of how very troublesome the little girl becomes in a short school vacation, or during the first days of a long one?
23312No harm is done?
23312Now, what of these 620 women, to whom Oberlin has given the privileges of a higher intellectual development?
23312Now, why did they not break down?
23312Shall we not rather direct it by a sound religious education, into more healthy channels?
23312Shall we venture to depart from the old ways, and to decry the customs handed down to us from the ages gone by?
23312Since we are"heirs of all the ages,"why throw away our inheritance?
23312The American mother is not so likely to say to her daughter,"You must not go to this party,"as,"Do you think you had better go?"
23312The fifth, in reply to the question,"What are you doing?"
23312The fourteenth writes:"Why do you ask if I am sorry that I studied at Oberlin?
23312The only test for a girl''s clothing, as to tightness, should be,"Can you take a good, full breath, and not feel your clothes?"
23312The question may be asked, Does not this system bear equally upon boys and girls?
23312They desire any and all evidence that may be given, but do not they themselves constitute the only jurors competent to decide on the verdict?
23312This girl is sick?
23312Were they, in short, persons still continuing to grow?"
23312What do you say?"
23312What mother would give her little girl a cup of arsenic, no matter how tearfully or earnestly she might plead?
23312What satisfaction can any girl find in the fact, that the period of mature life is not covered by the statements in this volume?
23312What would be thought of making bread or sweeping floors, if these compelled such attitudes, or brought about such fatigue?
23312What, then, are the drawbacks to a teacher''s efforts to- day?
23312When I smiled at the evident contempt thrown upon the"two hours for exercise,"he said,"You do not think two hours enough for exercise, do you?"
23312Where are the statistics concerning German women resident in this country?
23312Where are they?
23312Who but a woman can appreciate the trouble of always being obliged to use one hand in carrying her skirts up long flights of stairs?
23312Who but a woman knows the inconvenience of her long skirts in entering or leaving a carriage, or in a strong wind?
23312Who ever worked harder than he?
23312Why do we find comparatively few invalids among the educated German girls and women?
23312Why is it that the criticisms of so many women who see below the surface, ring with a womanly indignation?
23312Why should boys be rude?
23312[ 5] If our girls are to walk the same streets with their brothers, is there any reason why the soles of their shoes should not be of equal thickness?
28036696.--''That, I suppose, is a comparatively new phenomenon?'' 28036 697.--''Is there any special defect in the management which produces this state of things, or is it essential to the nature of the school?''
28036But, Father,some one will say,"what harm can there be in sending children to Public Schools?
28036Think you that those eighteen men on whom the tower of Siloam fell, were sinners above all others in Jerusalem? 28036 Where did you get it?"
280366), what recompense will mothers not receive who instruct and sanctify them?
28036And are they competent to do what the mother of the rich can not do?
28036And can we wonder that the crime has descended from the highest to the lowest, and now pervades all classes of society?
28036And during the whole war of the Revolution, who ever heard of a Catholic coward, or of a Catholic traitor?
28036And how had they to battle till they had gained this merit?
28036And then, which of all the Bibles, and whom among the numerous sects, shall be sent?
28036And to whom, then, is it of any concern?"
28036And what has Protestantism done for human freedom?
28036And what kind of a name have these girls now?
28036And what power has Protestantism to check the National Crime-- the murder of helpless innocents?
28036And what will be the case where the Protestant pupils in a school are in a considerable majority, and the teacher of the same religion?
28036And what will the child learn, in this Pagan system of education, to press down his rising passions?
28036And when these women do condescend to have one or two children, what sort of a lifelong inheritance are they giving their offspring?
28036And where was the source of all this light?
28036And who are those secret conspirators and their myrmidon partisans who have sworn to unify Italy or lay it in ruins?
28036And who but an infidel can blame her for that?
28036And who could be charmed with such women?
28036And why should we not believe it?...
28036And why?
28036And will any one assert that the faith and soul of a child are not in danger of being ruined in those godless common schools?
28036Are not those pests, the Washington and Albany lobbies, rather_ too_ knowing?
28036But do children profit by His abundant redemption?
28036But how did souls created to the image of God grow up in such a state?
28036But how shall I begin?
28036But is it really true that Protestantism is not taught in many of our Public Schools?
28036But some one will perhaps say,"Sir, what has all this dissertation to do with your subject?
28036But then, in God''s name, is it not high time to inquire what should be done to correct the system, and stop the torrent of its evil influences?
28036But what does the turtle rest on?
28036But what does this make of them?
28036But where does the virtue and intelligence of the State come from?
28036But why have these great things been done for us?
28036But why so many objections?
28036Can we rely on the parents?
28036Can we, knowing, as we do, how much Jesus Christ loves them, can we, I say, resign ourselves to leaving them in their misery?
28036Can we, then, wonder that the Catholic Church has always encouraged a truly Christian education?
28036Did it originate one republican principle, or found one solitary republic?
28036Did it strike one blow for liberty during these two centuries and a half?
28036Do not the"gold rings"and the"whiskey rings"know how to read and write?
28036Do the managers of the Erie Railway lack any kind of intelligence that could be communicated in a common school?
28036Do they draw from the source of graces that are open to all?
28036Do they not prove, beyond a doubt, that the practical_ habit_ of devotion was not taught them in their youth?
28036Do you desire, O Christian mother, to be saved?
28036Do you want to see what man without God-- without religion-- can do?
28036Does any one wonder, then, that we hear and read of"Trunk Horrors"?
28036Does not all this prove to every thinking person that woman''s sphere and calling are_ widely different_?"
28036Had not those blood- suckers, the shoddy- ites and army contractors, an average common school education?
28036Has the pastor sufficiently instructed, warned, and watched over them?
28036Have they not the same tendency to promote ignorance of, or indifference to, religion?
28036Have we always comprehended all the good that we can do to children by our humble functions?
28036How can it be otherwise?
28036How could Protestantism check infidelity, since it leads to it?
28036How did men arrive at the idea that the State should be a school- master?
28036How is such a heart to be touched or moved, or placed under such influences as could move it?
28036How long will it take our enlightened age to learn this simple but important truth?
28036I ask if this is not a pretty fair and not overdrawn statement of the case?
28036I ask, will the Lord fail to visit with similar judgments all those who are guilty of the same crimes?
28036I ask-- am I right in all that I have said upon the State and its godless system of education?
28036I once said to her,''Why do you not take the situation of a seamstress, or a nurse in a gentleman''s family?''
28036If the State claims the right to educate our children, why does it not just as well claim the right to nurse, feed, clothe, doctor, and lodge them?
28036In a word, is not this to teach indifference to religion, or, what is equivalent, that no religion is necessary?
28036Indeed, what is a school worth when a man will pay a premium to be exempt from sending his children to it?
28036Is it heaven or hell that will be their lot for all eternity?
28036Is it not a proof that the laity and clergy are all of one mind?
28036Is it to be done in the midst of a day''s work, or in the weariness after the day''s work is done?
28036Is not such the calamitous spectacle which the continent of Europe offers to us at this moment?
28036Is not this a serious loss?
28036Is not this compulsory support most violative of constitutional and religious rights?
28036Is there any reason for their silence on the subject of education?
28036It is for this reason that our Saviour tells us:"What doth it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
28036May it not be considered as a great plebiscite?
28036May we not infer that those mothers who bestow upon children the treasures of divine knowledge will receive an exceedingly great reward?
28036May we not read the condemnation of all such proceedings in the lurid flames of the burning Capital of modern civilization?
28036Men look around, and ask, Where is the remedy for the so wide- spread corruption of all classes of society?
28036Mr. Johnson asks:"Are the modern fashionable criminalities of infanticide creeping into our State community?"
28036Nor can it be otherwise; for what brought on the"Cities of the Plain"the material fires of heaven?
28036Now how did it happen that the primitive Christian system of education became unchristian and anti- American?
28036Now what has contributed most towards the enormous increase of these enemies of our republic?
28036Now what is it to teach the soul to find her own Supreme Good?
28036Now what is the perfection of soul?
28036Now what is the result of all this training?
28036Now what is the_ civil power_, or_ State_; what its origin, its authority, its legitimate functions, its rights and duties?
28036Now what is to be done to stop the poisoned source from which the diabolical spirit and the crimes of our country flow?
28036Now what kind of a being is the infidel, or the man without religion?
28036Now what kind of education is necessary for a tradesman to carry on business successfully?
28036Now what object had the tyrant in acting thus?
28036Now who will give the Christian education, if not the pastor?
28036Now will any one assert that the young tree was not in danger of perishing in this new place?
28036Or what were the sins and crimes of the Gentile nations that called forth the terrible chastisements predicted by the prophets?
28036Since when is it, then, that the price of the souls of little children has been lessened?
28036The State can not impose uniformity on churches; why force it on schools?
28036The man who has said"there is no God,"is he not on the point of also saying"lust is lawful,""property is robbery"?
28036The man who scorns to love God and His law, how shall he continue to love his neighbor?
28036The"Boards"that give the contracts do not make any money by way of commissions, do they?
28036Think you that those six or seven on whom the axe of the public press fell, are sinners above all in New York and elsewhere?
28036This granted-- because too clear to be denied-- does it not follow that the establishment of schools maybe made obligatory upon pastors?
28036To attract non- Catholics?
28036To what do they grow up?
28036To which Las Casas replied:"Is it nothing to your Lordship that all these souls should perish?
28036WHAT IS IT TO BE A MOTHER?
28036WHAT IS IT TO BE A MOTHER?
28036We see ecclesiastical edifices of great magnitude, splendor, and expense, erected everywhere by Catholics, but for what purpose?
28036Well, then, the press: what shall be said of it?
28036Well, what was the Church at the time of the Apostles?
28036Were not Catiline of old, and Aaron Burr and Benedict Arnold of more recent times, men of intelligence?
28036What American can forget the names of Rochambeau, De Grasse, De Kalb, Pulaski, La Fayette, Kosciusko?
28036What can be done to stem the fearful torrent of evils that flood the land?
28036What confidence, I ask, can be placed in a man who has no religion, and, consequently, no knowledge of his duties?
28036What could hell and its agents do more than they have already done for her destruction?
28036What did it do for the cause of freedom from that date down to 1776--when our Republic arose?
28036What does he learn in such a school to make him obedient, honest, chaste, a good citizen, a good Christian?
28036What father, then, will be mad enough to send his children by this vessel, across the ocean of time, to their heavenly fatherland?
28036What future have these women to look forward to?
28036What good, then, could be expected from calling upon the Legislature?
28036What happened?
28036What has been the result?
28036What is the difference between an infidel and a madman?
28036What is the natural harvest of this sowing?
28036What is the object of his impious cries?
28036What is the use of building castles in Spain, when we are obliged to live in America?
28036What precept of positive virtue does he learn?
28036What principle of self- restraint?
28036What right, then, has a Christian State to compel Christians to support infidel schools?
28036What shall I now say of books so compiled as to meet the exigencies of godless education?
28036What shall we answer?
28036What sufferings had they to endure, what trials to undergo?
28036What though a Judas Iscariot may betray?
28036What though a few of craven spirit may flee?
28036What though some may desert and leave the lines?
28036What would have become of Germany had there not been a power superior to that of this godless prince?
28036What would the world be without it?
28036What, then, is the meaning of Education?
28036What, then, must we think of the reading of the Bible, when its reading, without note or comment, leads to such consequences?
28036When he asked the barons assembled in council,"What must I do?"
28036When is she to teach, and train, and shape, and fashion the characters, hearts, consciences, intellects of the children?
28036Where did those priests who built them get the money?
28036Where is the security for property or for life, if the sense of religious obligation desert the oaths which are administered in our courts of justice?
28036Where will be our Catholics?
28036Where, then, was the power to save?
28036Who are those turbulent revolutionists who now long to erect the guillotine by the Tuilleries?
28036Who can read, without a feeling of intense horror, the accounts left us of the treatment of their slaves by the Romans?
28036Who can tell with what delight He makes of it His abode?
28036Who denies it?
28036Who does not feel most indignant at the State for having introduced such a godless system of education?
28036Who ever heard of a Catholic Arnold?
28036Who is to blame?
28036Who originated all the free principles which lie at the basis of our own noble Constitution?
28036Who were the leaders in the work of destruction and wholesale butchery in the Reign of Terror?
28036Who, I would ask, first reared in triumph the broad banner of universal freedom on this North American Continent?
28036Who_ first_ proclaimed, on this broad continent, the glorious principles of universal freedom?
28036Why are there so many talents lying idle among us?
28036Why is it that social and political life is poisoned in its source, and the blood of the nation corrupted?
28036Why is it that the very bases of society have been sapped, and the conditions of good government despised, or denounced under the name of despotism?
28036Why is it"that no person shall be compelled to erect, support, or attend any place of public worship, nor support any minister of religion"?
28036Why not?
28036Why should the State throw all these burdens on the parents, and assume that of instruction?
28036Why should they starve, while their neighbors roll in splendor and luxury?
28036Why so many pens that move not, when they should be burning with love for God, and for the welfare of their fellow- men?
28036Why so many tongues that are ever silent, when they might, day after day, preach the good tidings of the Gospel of Christ?
28036Why, then, is private property taken for Public Schools without compensation?
28036Will anybody who has his eyesight doubt or deny this?
28036Will he send his children by that vessel?
28036Will not the Protestant children turn the doctrines and practices of the Catholics into ridicule?
28036Will their learned and accomplished sons take the humble and laborious trades or occupations of their fathers?
28036Will they be counted, in the course of their career, among the number of His faithful disciples, or among the enemies of His law?
28036Will they be excluded?
28036Will they be marked with the seal of Divine Adoption, and be nourished with His own Flesh in the Sacrament of His love?
28036Will they one day be admitted into His kingdom?
28036You banish those who are dearest to Me?
28036_ What is the State?_ People in general have a vague and confused conception of this matter.
28036and have not the laity assisted them in a most munificent manner?
28036on Sunday- school teachers?
28036shall, then, the first that teaches me the dread meaning of grave and shroud be my own, my first- born child?
28036what is this to me, and what is that to the King?"
28036what will be her end?
28036who will answer for these little"waifs of society"?
28036with such''Grecian Bends,''Grecian noses?
17307Am I the kind of teacher I should like to go to?
17307And again, he that receiveth the word of truth, doth he receive it by the Spirit of Truth or some other way? 17307 But what about the three days?
17307How can I drive a four- horse team such as that?
17307How should I pray?
17307How will the book turn out?
17307The next question to consider is: How are we going to present it? 17307 What can I do best that society needs most?"
17307What fur?
17307When should I pray?
17307Why do I teach?
17307Why do I teach?
17307Why do I teach?
17307Why should I pray?
17307Yes,says the young skeptic,"but how about the whale idea?
1730735:8?
17307Adequate preparation involves the following questions: What aim shall I select out of the material available as the focus for my day''s work?
17307And why are they not chosen?
17307Are prayers answered?
17307Are prayers answered?
17307Are we of Israel and how?"
17307As illustrative of the fact question may we set down the following: Who was Joseph Smith?
17307As you now recall them, what distinct pleasures stand out in your teaching experience?
17307CHAPTER II WHAT IS TEACHING?
17307Can we not agree to these steps as fundamental in the proper preparation of our lessons in all of our Church organizations?
17307Colloquially expressed, it raises the question in teaching,"What''s the use?"
17307Corrected typo:"uncertainty?"
17307Did they prevail in the days of Israel?
17307Dixon, Chairman Teacher Training Committee_ Contents_ Chapter Page Preface vii I Purposes Behind Teaching 1 II What Is Teaching?
17307Do I answer my own questions?
17307Do I ask chiefly fact questions?
17307Do I ask confusing, changed questions?
17307Do I ask direct questions or alternative questions which can be answered without knowledge or thought?
17307Do I ask foolish questions that no one can answer?
17307Do I ask leading or suggestive questions?
17307Do I make the recitation an inquisition, or do I pursue a slow pupil and listen while pupils express themselves freely and naturally?
17307Do I name the pupil who is to answer before I put the question?
17307Do I repeat my questions?
17307Do I repeat the pupil''s answer?
17307Do my questions follow up the answer and lead to new organization of knowledge?
17307Do my questions make pupils think?
17307Do my questions reach all the members of the class?
17307Do we attend to things because they are interesting?
17307Do you expect us to believe that stuff?
17307Does it always involve action?
17307Does the Lord hear and answer our prayers, or do we answer them ourselves?
17307Having listed these tendencies we still face the question,"What shall we do with them?
17307Having prepared a lesson, how shall I set about to teach it to my class?
17307His attitude, perhaps, is our best answer to the question,"What is attention?"
17307How Should I Pray?
17307How Should I Pray?
17307How are class members better for having considered particular facts?
17307How can I keep the little rascals quiet long enough to work the theories out?"
17307How can a teacher be governed by the force of individual differences when he has to teach a group of forty pupils?
17307How can applications best be made?
17307How can members of the class meet such an argument?
17307How can rivalry be made an asset in teaching?
17307How can the fighting instinct in children best be directed?
17307How can the hunting instinct be appealed to in religious stimulation?
17307How can we effect the solution if all that we know of Jimmie is that he is one of our fifteen scouts?
17307How can you convince the world that a just God would declare that none of their churches is right?
17307How do children and adults differ in their powers of attention?
17307How do they differ?
17307How do you account for the fact that the Lord''s people have always been a chastened people?
17307How does application go to the very heart of teaching?
17307How is it made?
17307How is teaching one of the surest guarantees of the blessings of eternal life?
17307How many of the answers to your questions are a matter merely of memory?
17307How many of the members of your ward are actively engaged in other than parental teaching?
17307How many questions do you ask regularly during a recitation?
17307How many reveal original, creative thinking?
17307How may I discipline my class so that no disturbances will interfere with our discussions?
17307How may I know how to pray?
17307How may children best cultivate a testimony?
17307How much of the reference would you include in a single lesson?
17307How often should I pray?
17307How often should| prayer as a| I pray?
17307How old was he when he received his first vision?
17307How shall I build about that aim a body of facts that will establish it as a fundamental truth in life?
17307How shall I illustrate the truths presented so that they will strike home in the experiences of my boys and girls?
17307How shall I make sure that members of the class will go out from the recitation to put into practice the teachings of the day?
17307How should I pray?
17307How should this fact affect teaching?
17307I arouse interest by quoting a friend who has put the query to me,"What is the use of fasting?"
17307If so, what is it?
17307If you had to choose between a fairly capable but humble teacher, and a very capable but conceited one, which one would be your choice?
17307In considering application he asks,"Of what use will this material be in the experience of my pupils?"
