Σελίδα 355 - Such, Sir, is the testimony of one not to be accused of partiality in his estimate of America. Happy, proud America ! the lightnings of heaven yielded to your philosophy ! The temptations of earth could not seduce your patriotism...
Σελίδα 356 - Bear through sorrow, wrong, and ruth, In thy heart the dew of youth, On thy lips the smile of truth. O, that dew, like balm, shall steal Into wounds, that cannot heal, Even as sleep our eyes doth seal ; And that smile, like sunshine, dart Into many a sunless heart, For a smile of God thou art.
Σελίδα 59 - In primis hoc volunt persuadere, non interire animas, sed ab aliis post mortem transire ad alios, atque hoc maxime ad virtutem excitari putant, metu mortis neglecto. Multa praeterea de sideribus atque eorum motu, de mundi ac terrarum magnitudine, de rerum natura, de deorum immortalium vi ac potestate, disputant et juventuti tradunt.
Σελίδα 51 - In every plane triangle, the sum of two sides is to their difference as the tangent of half the sum of the angles opposite those sides is to the tangent of half their difference.
Σελίδα 302 - To thee, O country! great and free, With trusting hearts we cling; Our voices tuned by joyous love Thy power and praises sing. Upon thy mighty, faithful heart We lay our burdens down; Thou art the only friend who feels their weight without a frown.
Σελίδα 119 - The munificence of the American people in the sections I have visited, in providing schools, is, in my opinion, entirely without a parallel; a good education being offered free to every American child. If I have any regret it is to notice that where such ample, almost lavish, provision has been made, there are still many who partake very sparingly only, while others absent themselves altogether from the feast. If you could introduce a plan for enforcing regular attendance for a course of years, as...
Σελίδα 113 - The whole number found was hardly more than could be counted on one's fingers, and among them there was only one who had not a good reason for being out of school. This was a truant, who had slipped through the fingers of his teacher and escaped the vigilance of the truant officer. The next day being fine, I continued the survey, going through nearly all the streets of a densely populated section of the city. The result was about the same as that of the preceding day. The few children found, with...
Σελίδα 233 - ... that were found at all. Every one found was stopped and his case inquired into. The whole number found was hardly more than could be counted on one's fingers, and among them there was only one who had not a good reason for being out of school. This was a truant, who had slipped through the fingers of his teacher and escaped the vigilance of the truant officer.

Σελίδα 143 - Constitution, and by its supreme authority clothed with the power and charged with the duty of directing and controlling the whole military power of the United States in time of rebellion or invasion, has not that authority ? I need not...
Σελίδα 113 - ... the belief that the number of children who are growing up without acquiring at least the rudiments of education is quite small. During the past ten years, I do not remember to have met with the case of a child who had resided in the city until the age of fourteen without learning to read and write. Our truant officers are expected to look after all children not attending school, who are found in the streets without any lawful occupation. From their reports, and from information derived from other...
