Duties of schools in national moral development
Duties of schools in national moral development
Introduction
Moral decadence in Nigeria has generated lot of problem in all sectors of our society resulting in the slow pace of development in the country. This call for urgent intervention by our educational sector in order to inject discipline into the life style of the Nigeria youth in general :The moral; decadence ranges from examination malpractices, stealing bribery and corruption, sexual promiscuity, social mal- adjustment, insubordination, disrespect to human right and to the rules of law. All these immoral behaviors probably contributed to declining economic and educational standard, resulting in importation of strange social behaviors into our society. This in turn has really gone deep into the life style of people in the society thereby generating fear, unpatriotic, feelings, disunity, lack of faith in the development and progress of the country, distrust towards leaders and unguided behavior in the mind of the ones with conscience who would have loved to uphold high moral standards. Those who gain from these immoral attitudes prefer it to continue. Therefore, there are needs for proper orientation to be given to the youth ones. This will eradicate this oral decadence in our society, thereby creating room for Development: This can only be done by our educational sectors through the school which at the grassroots, matters most in the instance of development.
The curriculum in our school both elementary and secondary and programmes in general will need to be tailored towards the achievement of both the moral and academic aspect of education are yet to be achieved fully in our educational system. This is due to society’s reliance on paper qualification. This has deflated ethical fulfillment of education in the life of our youth.
Types of morality
There are many ways by which immoral acts can be described. However, this paper will classify them into three groups. These are:
1. Anti-social behavior: These consist of destruction of public property and utility, rioting hooliganism, stealing and bullying. In sport, ungentlemanly conducts such as fighting spiting, kicking an opponent, deliberately bouncing the ball out of annoyance when the referee stops the ball for a foul committed by an athlete belong to this category
2. Acts of Define: Immoral acts in this category are of indiscipline usually directed against constituted authority and established rules. The common ones in school are refusal to wear school uniform, examination malpractices, sexual immorality, breaking of bounds, smoking, drinking and drug addition, breaking of refusal to carry out punishment assigned as a result of wrongdoings, and failure to perform lawful school duties. In sports any act from an athlete(s) that is directed against the authority such fouls personal fouls, disrespect to officials, disregard to camp rules and regulation just as references above.
3. Negligence of duty and Responsibilities: This involves acts such as caress handing of school and personal facilities and equipment, lateness to school and assemblies, refusal to carry out morning duties and other school assignments, truancy in class and school attendance and aiding and abetting examination malpractices.
What school moral means
School moral is the ethnical training given to students directly or indirectly during their school years. School moral can also be termed school discipline. Discipline in educational terms means training. In classroom situation, it is the ability to guide and control the class toward the attainment of pre-determined objectives for education and the school moral to acquire while in school. Since primary and post-primary schools are expected to train children and adolescents, it implies that such training is intended to instill in them a sense of maturity in the roles expected of adults. Thee roles include sex, social values, emotional behavior, intellectual activities, moral values and judgment and economic activities school discipline so to say is one of the duties executed by the school authority promulgation of school policy, rules and regulation which are usually enforced by the schools’ authority, and teachers and prefects in school. This ranges from regulation guiding school programmes, interpersonal relationship among students, teachers and students’ relationship and students’ behaviors outside the schools (stone and church 1979).
In the past, the rules of seniority in school were seriously followed and respected unfortunately these are no longer in existence or are not firmly followed. Unfortunately, students that need to be properly disciplined lack good leaders to follow, because some of the teachers who suppose to show them good example lack self- discipline (Ozigi, 1976). The responsibility of our school towards the inculcation of high standards of morals into our youths is highly necessary; because a nation without morals be taken by our schools if we still want this nation to develop (Getzel and Guba, 1969).
Causes of immorality in the schools
Immorality can be caused by either internal or external factors or both.
The internal factors may be teachers’ lack of commitment, teachers’ immorality or indulgence and ambiguous school rules and regulation, interest of students in school affairs, and planned or unchallenging school curriculum, or poorly executed curriculum. These are also applicable to school among athletes (Adesina and Ogunsaju, 1984). The internal factors for athletes will include inadequate coach, inadequate knowledge on rules and regulations, bad team management, athletes’ lack of exposure and experience to mention but few.
The external factor includes the nature of the community or society in which the school is located. It exercises adequate control and supervision over their children, inadequate facilities and equipment, instability in school staff personnel, bureaucracy. The home is another cause of indiscipline in school system. For example a child from a broken home may be lacking paternal or maternal care and supervision. This may result in immorality; a child’s attitude in school is a reflection of the home or a carry over effect of behaviors at home. Don’t forget the maxim ‘’like father like son”. Immoral parents will breed immoral children. The ways some parents interfere with school disciplinary process contribute to disciplinary problem of students (Adesina, 1990).
There is also a sort of influence from culture. Where a child is undergoing mixed cultural transformation, there will be confusion in adhering to one. For example, a child from a well education home may find himself between African and western cultures and dilly –darling in taking decisions and acceptable behaviors. School are part of the society, they are operating within it; hence there is no way they will not be influenced by the located of the societal ills such nepotism, favoritism, bribery, corruption, victimization, intimidation, blackmail and the likes help to pronounce acts of immorality in our school (stone and church, 1979).
Rationale for sound school moral
Education is a process of developing a total man: physically, socially, mentally and spiritually. This means that all aspects that make up a man expected to be developed. Hence, school’s as far as it is concerned with the generality of man needs to be for academics and morals or for learning and culture.
We cannot talk of education without bringing the culture and moral value of the society into Education will be incomplete if these two areas are missing. Therefore schooling is not mainly for academics alone but also for moral upbringing of the individual. Education in school supposes to prepare the child for the future; updating his / her knowledge and experience to the standard that will make him fit in to such a society and moreover enable him to adapt to any situation or condition he / she finds himself herself. This means that as the child is being literally developed his moral value must equally be cultivated. Moreover, since the school is part of the society and the child is of both parts of the school and society; it is necessary that such a child be brought up to a standard where he / she can freely mix up and fit into his culture as part of the society without any constrain or discomfort. This can only be done if the norms, values and ethics of his society are adequately passed unto him /her In addition, the child’s home cannot give all necessary education adequately all alone.
A child needs to be brush up or learn the missing aspects of social, psychological, spiritual and ethics outside the home. Education can take place directly, through incidental, integrated, through peers, siblings and others in the community, whichever way it takes it must contribute to the totally of man in the child. The school is the best place to learn or bridge the missing gap; due to its formal setting that education taking place there to be genuine and authentic. It is believed that the schools are the products of school are also the Mirror of the school and the teachers therein.
Influence of the school moral in nation development
In Nigeria today, there is rapid moral decadence cutting among adults, youths and children in all sectors of the society. Delinquent behaviors have de-generated the psyche of individuals in the society to the extent that people have lost faith in the ability of the government to uphold morals and justice. People are no longer committed either as self employees, civil servants, laborer in private institutions, even as a teacher, or students. All codes of conduct as far as their areas are concerned are paper work commitment and dedication is no significance as far public places are concerned. Majority are after their selfish ends.
Outsides schools and government institutions, there are increases in cases such as robbery trick starting touting and all sorts of misfit behaviors in our societies. Research findings have shown that majority of people found in this acts are mostly school dropouts, children from broken home and unemployed graduates of venous institution at different levels. Therefore, this calls for proper implementation of social and ethical education in our schools. Curricular on social and ethical education are well planned and developed at the same time properly implemented most of the above stated moral decadence would if not totally eradicated be reduced to the minimal (stone and church, 1979).
Apart from curriculum, all other programmes in the school such as clubs, associations of extramural and extramural activities such as sports if properly tailored could assist greatly in correcting moral misconception and in indoctrinating children in proper ethical values and practices. If these can be achieved there will be sanity in our society. Our society will be healthy and economically viable if moral decorum would be of followed and practiced. It will result in sound social development and national development.
Duties of the school in promoting moral
To uphold and enforced the existing policy rules and regulation in the school, the school should make sure that the school rules are strictly followed. For example rules guiding fighting, examination mal-practices and the likes should be effective: however school rules and regulations should not be ambiguous. They should be simply defined and easy to interpret. Preceding social programmes and amenities for ethical promotion should include sporting activities or physical and health education programmes. This type of programmes will not only inculcate act of morality, but will also make it as a way of life in them for example provision of varieties of social activities or physical and health education programme in school will reduce if not eradicate some delinquencies such as truancy, bully, idleness and laziness among the students. School can organize some moral talks in form of seminars for students. In this Situation counselors or experts from various fields will come and give talks on discipline. These may taake the forms of psychology, sociology, health talks, career talks schools should endeavor to provide at leased a period week on the school time table for moral education.
School can also promote ethics in the school through parents. In this regard or talk will be organized for parents during parents. Teachers’ Association (PTA) and ethical issues can be discussed. School authority can be a student.
School authority should verify the rationale behind a student seeking transfer into the school. This makes the school to know whether it is as a result of misbehavior or dismissal that is causing the students to seek transfer to the new school. In this manner, misfit students would be easily noticed and refused transfer into other school in other to discourage others from misbehaving.
There should be school exchange programmes among school in relation to moral talks, social relation, patriotism, human right, democracy and all sort of things that has to do it respect of individual and society.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the ability of our school at all levels to instill ethical values in our educational system will go in small way to eradicate all moral decadences hindering and deterring our national development. Proper execution of school will highly influence our national development positively.

Schools for Misrule $22.79 From Barack Obama (Harvard and Chicago) to Bill and Hillary Clinton (Yale) many of our current national leaders emerged from the rarefied air of the nation’s top law schools. The ideas taught there in one generation often shape national policy in the next. The trouble is Walter Olson reveals in Schools for Misrule our elite law schools keep churning out ideas that are catastrophically bad for America. From class action lawsuits that promote the right to sue anyone over anything to court orders mandating the mass release of prison inmates; from the movement for slavery reparations to court takeovers of school fundingall of these appalling ideas were hatched in legal academia. And the worst is yet to come. A fast-rising movement in law schools demands that sovereignty over U.S. legal disputes be handed over to international law and transnational courts. It is not by coincidence Olson argues that these bad ideas all tend to confer more power on the law schools’ own graduates. In the overlawyered society that results they are the ones who become the real rulers. |

Charter Schools: Lessons in School Reform $41.39 This book takes the reader inside the charter school movement, answering such questions as: *What is a charter school? *How are charter schools different from other public schools? *What does it take to create a charter school? *What motivates the people who initiate such schools? *What lessons can be learned from the experiences of those who have founded charter schools? *What does the growth of the charter school movement mean for society at large? Using detailed case studies of seven schools in three states, this book explores the challenges faced by the founders of these schools and develops guidelines for creating a successful school. Seymour Sarason’s work on the creation of settings is used as a basis for examining the complex human interactions that contributed to formation of a unique culture at each school, as well as to establish guidelines for setting up a successful school. Introductory and concluding chapters place the charter school movement within a broader social and historical context. Tensions between the American tradition of local control of schools and the centralized tradition of schooling imported from Europe in the late 19th century are discussed. The gradual bureaucratization of U.S. public schools during the 20th century is described, along with problems that have been associated with the increasingly hierarchical and impersonal nature of educational institutions. |

Authentic Educational Leadership in Schools $7.79 This text seeks to re-establish the place and the importance of a valuesbased philosophically-underpinned national educational provision through which reason and integrity intellect and morality caring and sharing are more highly valued as educational outcomes than are narrow academic achievements only leading to ways and means for accruing power and material possessions. The text will be confronting to some in that it challenges the following: governments to re-conceive the purposes of education and of schooling; schools and their societies to more carefully evaluate their educational structures and processes; teachers to re-consider the breadth and assessment of curricular; and society in general to demand from politicians suffi cient and appropriate economic and intellectual support to and for every school. |

Consuming Schools: Commercialism and the End of Politics $11.69 The increasing prevalence of consumerism in contemporary society often equates happiness with the acquisition of material objects. Consuming Schools describes the impact of consumerism on politics and education and charts the increasing presence of commercialism in the educational sphere through an examination of issues such as school-business partnerships, advertising in schools, and corporate-sponsored curriculum. First linking the origins of consumerism to important political and philosophical thinkers, Trevor Norris goes on to closely examine the distinction between the public and the private sphere through the lens of twentieth-century intellectuals Hannah Arendt and Jean Baudrillard. Through Arendt’s account of the human activities of labour, work, and action, and the ensuing eclipse of the public realm and Baudrillard’s consideration of the visual character of consumerism, Norris examines how school commercialism has been critically engaged by in-class activities such as media literacy programs and educational policies regulating school-business partnerships. |

The Cinderella Society $11.59 Sixteen-year-old Jess Parker survives by staying invisible. After nine schools in ten years she’s come to terms with life as a perpetual new girl neither popular nor outcast. At Mt. Sterling High Jess gets the chance of a lifetime: an invitation to join The Cinderella Society a secret club of the most popular girls in school where makeovers are the first order of official business. But there’s more to being a Cindy than just reinventing yourself from the outside a concept lost on Jess as she dives tiara-first into creating a hot new look. With a date with her popular crush and a chance to finally fit in Jess’s life seems to be a perfect fairy tale. That is until the Wickeds–led by Jess’s archenemy–begin targeting innocent girls in their war against the Cindys and Jess discovers her new sisterhood is about much more than who rules Mt. Sterling High School. It’s a centuries-old battle of good vs. evil and the Cindys need Jess on special assignment. But when the mission threatens to destroy her new dream life Jess is forced to choose between this dream realized and honoring the Sisterhood. What’s a girl to do when the glass slipper fits but she doesn’t want to wear it anymore? |

Black Tear Society $7.99 Tajuana Simpson has just released her book tilted Black Tear Society: A Memoir. Black Tear Society is about living in an abusive household, growing up fatherless, and finding the strength to conquer the vicious cycle of grief and pain. Ms. Simpson has spoken for many organizations, including visiting prisons and conducting youth outreach, which led to her speaking on Maryland radio stations, in schools, and at recreation centers. She has also been involved with foster care and adoption efforts and volunteered for six years with a sexual assault center. Her work experience includes involvement with the court system as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA). She has worked with domestic violence victims and homeless women and children, and her training, volunteering, and workshop hours total more than 1,000. Residing in the Washington, DC area all her life, Ms. Simpson has a hunger for change and believes that "Seeing is believing, experience is even worse." She knows the pain and struggle of having a dysfunctional family that outwardly appears normal. In her personal and professional life she has confronted many sensitive issues which are prevalent in today’s society. Now she is striving to reach people of all ethnicities with a forthright message of rehabilitation. With Black Tear Society, Ms. Simpson hopes that by sharing her own battles as an abuse victim and advocate so frankly, she can bring confidence to readers who seek to overcome unspeakable situations. Ms. Simpson is preparing a second book on relationships to be released in January 2011. Black Tear Society is a ray of intercity sunshine for out of the language of pain comes empowerment through education, inspiration and life affirming motivation Danny Queen Author of Color Me Poetry |

Faith in Schools?: Autonomy Citizenship and Religious Education in the Liberal State $27.69 Should a liberal democratic state permit religious schools? Should it fund them? What principles should govern these decisions in a society marked by religious and cultural pluralism? In Faith in Schools? Ian MacMullen tackles these important questions through both political and educational theory and he reaches some surprising and provocative conclusions. MacMullen argues that parents’ desires to educate their children "in the faith" must not be allowed to deny children the opportunity for ongoing rational reflection about their values. Government should safeguard children’s interests in developing as autonomous persons as well as society’s interest in the education of an emerging generation of citizens. But he writes liberal theory does not support a strict separation of church and state in education policy. MacMullen proposes criteria to distinguish religious schools that satisfy legitimate public interests from those that do not. And he argues forcefully that governments should fund every type of school that they permit rather than favoring upper-income parents by allowing them to buy their way out of the requirements deemed suitable for children educated at public expense. Drawing on psychological research he proposes public funding of a broad range of religious primary schools because they can help lay the foundations for young children’s future autonomy. In secondary education by contrast even private religious schools ought to be obliged to provide robust exposure to the ideas of other religions to atheism and to nonreligious approaches to ethics. |

The Society $6.29 With every one of his ten novels a New York Times bestseller, emergency medicine physician Michael Palmer is recognized by critics and fans worldwide as a master of medical suspense. Now Palmer delivers a relentless thriller that slices to our deepest fears with surgical precision a tale as timely as it is terrifying, as harrowing as it is plausible. Welcome to The Society. At the headquarters of Boston’s Eastern Quality Health, the wealthy and powerful CEO is brutally murdered. She’s not the first to die nor the last. A vicious serial killer is on the loose and the victims have one thing in common: they are all high-profile executives in the managed care industry.Dr. Will Grant is an overworked and highly dedicated surgeon. He has experienced firsthand the outrages of a system that cares more about the bottom line than about the life-and-death issues of patients. As a member of the Hippocrates Society, Will seeks to reclaim the profession of medicine from the hundreds of companies profiting wildly by controlling the decisions that affect the delivery of care. But the doctor’s determination has attracted a dangerous zealot who will stop at nothing to make Will his ally. Soon Will is both a suspect and a victim, a pawn in a deadly endgame. Then, in one horrible moment, Will’s professional and personal worlds are destroyed and his very life placed in peril. Rookie detective Patty Moriarity is in danger of being removed from her first big case the managed care killings. To save her career, she has no choice but to risk trusting Will, knowing he may well be the killer she is hunting. Together they have little to go on except the knowledge that the assassin is vengeful, cunning, ruthless and may not be working alone. That and a cryptic message that grows longer with each murder: a message Grant and Moriarity must decipher if they don’t want to be the next victims. From the Hardcover edition. |

Social Studies for Secondary Schools: Teaching To Learn, Learning To Teach $49.49 Social Studies for Secondary Schools: Teaching to Learn, Learning to Teach, Second Edition integrates discussions of educational goals and the nature of history and social studies with practical ideas for organizing social studies curricula, units, lessons, projects, and activities. A major theme woven throughout the text is that what we choose to teach and the way we teach reflect our broader understanding of society, history, and the purposes of social studies education. Each chapter opens with a broad question about social studies education; provides many examples of lessons, including lesson ideas developed by new and experienced middle school and high school social studies teachers; features a rich variety of teaching, learning, and classroom activities designed to provoke discussion and illustrate different approaches to teaching social studies; and concludes with essays about related social studies topics. Part I focuses on philosophical issues, social studies goals and standards, and the design of social studies curricula. Part II examines and offers examples of strategies for planning units and lessons. Part III explores topics, such as thematic and interdisciplinary teaching, a project approach to social studies, as well as assesses student learning and one’s own performance as a teacher, and provides a guide to social studies resource materials and organizations. New in the Second Edition: *Every chapter has been updated and includes a number of new lesson ideas. *The lesson ideas are designed especially to help beginning teachers address learning standards; work in inclusive settings; and promote literacy and the use of technology in social studies classrooms. *Sample activities developed with members of the Hofstra New Teachers Network reflect the current focus on document-based instruction and assessment, and can serve as tools for assessing student learning. *Increased attention is given to project-based social studies instruction and to multicultural education. Intended as a text for undergraduate and graduate preservice social studies methods courses, this text is also useful for in-service training programs, as a reference for new social studies teachers, and as a resource for experienced social studies educators who are engaged in rethinking their teaching practice. |

From Higher Aims to Hired Hands: The Social Transformation of American Business Schools and the Unfulfilled Promise of Management as a Profession $17.29 Is management a profession? Should it be? Can it be? This major work of social and intellectual history reveals how such questions have driven business education and shaped American management and society for more than a century. The book is also a call for reform. Rakesh Khurana shows that university-based business schools were founded to train a professional class of managers in the mold of doctors and lawyers but have effectively retreated from that goal leaving a gaping moral hole at the center of business education and perhaps in management itself. Khurana begins in the late nineteenth century when members of an emerging managerial elite seeking social status to match the wealth and power they had accrued began working with major universities to establish graduate business education programs paralleling those for medicine and law. Constituting business as a profession however required codifying the knowledge relevant for practitioners and developing enforceable standards of conduct. Khurana drawing on a rich set of archival material from business schools foundations and academic associations traces how business educators confronted these challenges with varying strategies during the Progressive era and the Depression the postwar boom years and recent decades of freewheeling capitalism. Today Khurana argues business schools have largely capitulated in the battle for professionalism and have become merely purveyors of a product the MBA with students treated as consumers. Professional and moral ideals that once animated and inspired business schools have been conquered by a perspective that managers are merely agents of shareholders beholden only to the cause of share profits. According to Khurana we should not thus be surprised at the rise of corporate malfeasance. The time has come he concludes to rejuvenate intellectually and morally the training of our future business leaders. |

American Dreams, Global Visions $23.95 This book presents the struggle for dialogue and understanding between teachers and refugee and immigrant families, in their own words. Forging a stronger connection between teachers, newcomers, and their families is one of the greatest challenges facing schools in the United States. Teachers need to become familiar with the political, economic, and sociocultural contexts of these newcomers’ lives, and the role of the U.S. in influencing these contexts in positive and negative ways. The important contribution of American Dreams, Global Visions is to bring together global issues of international politics and economics and their effects on migration and refugee situations, national issues of language and social policy, and local issues of education and finding ways to live together in an increasingly diverse society. Narratives of four immigrant families in the United States (Hmong, Mexican, Assyrian/Kurdish, Kosovar) and the teacher-researchers who are coming to know them form the heart of this work. The narratives are interwoven with data from the research and critical analysis of how the narratives reflect and embody local, national, and global contexts of power. The themes that are developed set the stage for critical dialogues about culture, language, history, and power. Central to the book is a rationale and methodology for teachers to conduct dialogic research with refugees and immigrants—research encompassing methods as once ethnographic, participatory, and narrative—which seeks to engage researchers and participants in dialogues that shed light on economic, political, social, and cultural relationships; to represent theserelationships in texts; and to extend these dialogues to promote broader understanding and social justice in schools and communities. American Dreams, Global Visions will interest teachers, social workers, and others who work with immigrants and refugees; researchers, |

Race, Whiteness, and Education $39.95 In the colorblind era of Post-Civil Rights America, race is often wrongly thought to be irrelevant or, at best, a problem of racist individuals rather than a systemic condition to be confronted. Race, Whiteness, and Education interrupts this dangerous assumption by reaffirming a critical appreciation of the central role that race and racism still play in schools and society. Author Zeus Leonardo’s conceptual engagement of race and whiteness asks questions about its origins, its maintenance, and envisages its future. This book does not simply rehearse exhausted ideas on the relationship among race, class, and education, but instead offers new ways of understanding how multiple social relations interact with one another and of their impact in thinking about a more genuine sense of multiculturalism. By asking fundamental questions about whiteness in schools and society, Race, Whiteness, and Education goes to the heart of race relations and the common sense understandings that sustain it, thus painting a clearer picture of the changing face of racism. |

”How Do We Know They Know?”: A conversation about pre-service teachers learning about culture and social justice $33.95 Teacher education programs are charged with educating teachers to teach all students-preparing them to teach multiethnic, multiracial, multilingual, and differently-abled students in an increasingly global, inter-dependent world. This book takes as its starting point the assumption that pre-service teacher candidates, primarily white and middle-class, come to college to pursue a teaching degree having little if any experience of a social nature with persons not like themselves. Rooted in areas of theory and practice and based around the “Schools and Society” and “Culturally Relevant Teaching” courses required by the Teacher Education Program social justice conceptual framework, “How Do We Know They Know?” is a conversation about ways to assess these pre-service teachers’ growth and movement, as they progress from naiveté to awareness about the realities of culture in schools. |

”Letters, pen, and tilling the field”: Quaker schools among the Seneca Indians on the Allegany River, 1798–1852. $49.99 In 1798, the Society of Friends’ Philadelphia Yearly Meeting Indian Committee sent three young men to reside among the Seneca Indians on the Allegany reservation in the state of New York and the private land grant of chief warrior Cornplanter in adjacent Pennsylvania. Their goal was to provide the Senecas with agricultural, mechanical, and literary instruction in order to equip the Senecas for self-sufficiency in a rapidly changing world. Through their instruction, Friends altered Seneca religion and culture.;While some Senecas embraced Quaker instruction, others simply elected not to participate in the “civilization” program or the school. Over time, the Quaker presence and the school itself became a divisive force in the Allegany community. Scholars have examined Quaker instruction in domestic crafts, agriculture, and trades, but the school and curriculum have been neglected in previous scholarship. This study demonstrates that not only did the Friends’ school bring English language instruction, literacy, and new ideas, it divided the Allegany community, and ultimately opened the door for more heavily proselytizing sects. |

”We are all as one fish in the sea…”. Catholicism in Protestant Pennsylvania: 1730–1790. $49.99 This work is a study of colonial Catholicism in eastern Pennsylvania. Although Catholicism was one of the major religions of the European world, few have studied its first transitions to America. Pennsylvania Quakers in the Philadelphia area created a society and government modeled on Great Britain and British law but with a difference: religious tolerance for other Christian sects. They allowed and encouraged the unfettered immigration of a diverse European Christian population, mostly Protestant but including hated Catholics. This fundamentalist and rigid Christian Church arrived with English and German Jesuits. These priests as leaders took up a non-threatening political stance early in the 18th century. Pennsylvania was the only colony that allowed them entrance. The Quakers started a new ethnically diverse and religiously tolerant province where religions competed for members. Catholics could safely grow and prosper.;Even though social and political events in Protestant Pennsylvania brought attempts to eject the priests at points, such as at the start of the French and Indian War, the government failed to respond to the supposed civic Catholic threat that was articulated by many of the Protestant clergy. Catholics were positive members of the colony and assisted colonial authorities whenever possible. The Catholic population made a positive cultural impact, participating in a broad array of educational, financial, military, and civic associations. In early manufacturing enterprises, mercantile operations, and technical or scientific innovations, Catholics became a substantial economic force. As many prospered, they built churches and schools for their congregations.;As the Revolutionary War approached, Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia region anchored the rebellion of the American colonies.

It is considered by many to be one of the greatest nonsense poems written in the English language. The poem is sometimes used in primary schools to teach students about the use of portmanteau and nonsense words in poetry, as well as use of nouns and verbs.

Excerpt: The Second International Congress on Education of the Deaf was an international conference of deaf educators held in Milan, Italy in 1880. After deliberations in September 6 to 11, 1880, the conference declared that oral education was superior to manual education and passed a resolution banning the use of sign language in school. Since its passage in 1880, schools in European countries and the United States switched to using speech therapy without sign language as a method of education for the deaf. Alexander Graham Bell and Edward Miner Gallaudet had been debating over the effectiveness of oral-only education and an education that utilizes sign language as a means of visual communication, culminating in the Milan Conference in 1880 that passed eight resolutions on deaf education. The Milan Conference was organized by the Pereire Society, an organization formed by the family of Jacob Rodrigues Pereira and financed by their numerous railroad and bank holdings (including Société Générale du Crédit Mobilier). The Pereire Society was a strong supporter of oralism. They organized the Milan conference with the intent to ban sign language. They secured this outcome by carefully selecting who was invited, inviting the delegates to see the oralist success in a local school, and by encouraging negative reactions to those giving speeches supporting sign language and cheering those supporting oralism. The Milan Conference was attended by 164 delegates of various countries. Out of these 164 delegates only one, James Denison, was deaf. Conference President – Abbe Guilio Tarra The nationality of remaining delegates is unknown. The 5 American delegates present were James Denison, Edward Miner Gallaudet, Rev. Dr. Thomas Gallaudet, Isaac Lewis Peet and |

250 Years in Fauquier County: A Virginia Story $20.85 Beginning with the early interactions between Native Americans and European explorers and settlers, this history traces three and a half centuries of change in Fauquier County, Virginia. Commissioned by the Fauquier Historical Society to commemorate the county’s 250th anniversary, this engrossing narrative tells the story of the men and women, black and white, who built the region’s farms, plantations, schools, and churches.Individual biographies are interwoven with a social, political, and military history of the American Revolution and Civil War, allowing crucial events in the county’s history to come alive. This book also explores Fauquier’s depressed economy after the Civil War and shows how the area’s location and natural beauty drew wealthy outsiders to purchase estates in the early part of the twentieth century. After midcentury, the enormous expansion of the Washington suburbs ignited a heated and ongoing debate over the county’s position on growth and development.Related here is the fascinating story of a historically significant county. The volume has more than two hundred illustrations, some displaying the county’s stunning beauty, which enhance the book throughout. |

A Concise History Of South Sudan $72.57 This textbook in history is primarily intended for secondary schools in South Sudan. The focus is on the history of South Sudan, and is in this sense a pioneer work since it is the country’’s first secondary school book dealing primarily with the history of the South. Even though the focus is on South Sudan its history cannot be interpreted in a vacuum, and particularly North-South relations are discussed extensively in the book. Secondary school students in Sudan have either studied the history of Kenya and Uganda, or the history of North Sudan since no history book for South Sudan has existed. The book may also be of interest to academics, politicians, historians and college and university students as well civil society groups such as churches, youth and women’’s groups. |
