Страница 48 - I have eaten your bread and salt, I have drunk your water and wine ; The deaths ye died I have watched beside, And the lives ye led were mine. Was there aught that I did not share In vigil or toil or ease — One joy or woe that I did not know, Dear hearts across the seas ? I have written the tale of our life For a sheltered people 's mirth, In jesting guise — but ye are wise, And ye know what the jest is worth...
Страница 59 - Now it is not good for the Christian's health to hustle the Aryan brown, For the Christian riles, and the Aryan smiles and he weareth the Christian down; And the end of the fight is a tombstone white with the name of the late deceased, And the epitaph drear: "A Fool lies here who tried to hustle Beat off in our last fight were we ? The greater need to seek the sea.
Страница 139 - There is much that is discouraging in the aspect of Brazil, even for those who hope and believe as I do, that she has before her an honorable and powerful career. There is much also that is very cheering, that leads me to believe that her life as a nation will not belie her great gifts as a country. Should her moral and intellectual endowments grow into harmony with her wonderful natural beauty and wealth, the world will not have seen a fairer land.
Страница 104 - ... sound ethical basis, from a biblical standpoint— are distinguishing features of our work. Coeducation for the first time in any Latin country is successfully carried on from the kindergarten to the university course. This, too, is becoming a part of the public-school system. No attempt has been made here to indicate the exact organization of the various courses, the plan of correlation, or the specific methods employed; the purpose and logical distribution is what is sought to show. We have...
Страница 97 - ... parent, and of society at large ; to make the most efficient men and women who can do and be as well as know something, and also to prevent, as far as possible, waste of time and energy. We found it difficult to follow the vertiginous activity of American educators along all lines, or to wade thru the voluminous literature which accompanies it, brought from the ends of the earth ; but, believing that there was a truly American system in process of development, we tried to catch the trend of thought...
Страница 102 - ... slight sacrifice on the mathematical or scientific side, which is pushed into the next division, where it logically belongs. 3. This step embraces three years of a culture course for that comparatively small class who desire to take a profession, or wish a liberal education in literature, art, and the sciences, as a stepping-stone to still more advanced studies. Entrance to this class ought to be guarded by severe tests in order to exclude the weak-brained who want a degree simply as an ornament,...
Страница 42 - on the occasion of his first lectures delivered in the capital, he earnestly requested the emperor that ladies might be allowed to be present, — a privilege till then denied them on grounds of etiquette. The request was granted, and the sacred domain of science for the first time was thrown open to the women of South America."* Now she is verily a new woman, being far less restricted.
Страница 139 - ... faith is contrary to the spirit of their institutions. Protestant clergymen are allowed to preach freely ; but, as a general thing, Protestantism does not attract the Southern nations, and it may be doubted whether its advocates will have a very wide-spread success. However this may be, every friend to Brazil must wish to see its present priesthood replaced by a more vigorous, intelligent, and laborious clergy.
Страница 98 - ... cultivated, which later will be applied to processes of thought. Thru geography the study of nature is begun, and our relations to the world in which we live are studied ; thru manual training and the drawing preliminary to it, things and their relations are studied, and the child is taught to see and do as well as to think. This is that part of education which society, for its own safety, must demand for every girl and boy in the land. It is all that can be given to the children of the masses,...
