Before we can appreciate the fact that in five&lt;br /&gt;years 58 persons died after being vaccinated, we at least need&lt;br /&gt;to know the total number of persons who were vaccinated. If&lt;br /&gt;only 58 persons were vaccinated and they all died, then the&lt;br /&gt;mortality was 100 per cent., but if, as was practically the&lt;br /&gt;case, thousands of infants in Great Britain were vaccinated in&lt;br /&gt;five years, then if only 58 died after vaccination (although&lt;br /&gt;not necessarily in consequence of it) the mortality falls some&lt;br /&gt;thousands of a per cent. The suppression of the ratio, i. e.,&lt;br /&gt;58/many thousands is the deceit that is practiced.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/615024553371766364-8416705490681771963?l=beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com/2007/11/now-this-kind-of-argument-is-very.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615024553371766364.post-1831663538436181608</guid><pubDate>Mon, 05 Nov 2007 23:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-11-05T15:19:37.456-08:00</atom:updated><title>It is an essential part of human liberty, to permit each person to

</title><description>&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      CLASSES OF ACTS OR RESPONSE.--Movements or acts, like other phenomena,&lt;br /&gt;do not just happen. They never occur without a cause back of them.&lt;br /&gt;Whether they are performed with a conscious end in view or without it,&lt;br /&gt;the fact remains the same--something must lie back of the act to account&lt;br /&gt;for its performance. During the last hour, each of us has performed many&lt;br /&gt;simple movements and more or less complex acts. These acts have varied&lt;br /&gt;greatly in character. Of many we were wholly unconscious. Others were&lt;br /&gt;consciously performed, but without feeling of effort on our part. Still&lt;br /&gt;others were accomplished only with effort, and after a struggle to&lt;br /&gt;decide which of two lines of action we should take. Some of our acts&lt;br /&gt;were reflex, some were chiefly instinctive, and some were volitional.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/615024553371766364-8811813226311771377?l=beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com/2007/11/classes-of-acts-or-response.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615024553371766364.post-4144025145717855499</guid><pubDate>Thu, 01 Nov 2007 04:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-31T21:18:09.436-07:00</atom:updated><title>    As a general rule, a married woman in Germany, even after she

The&lt;br /&gt;name (Cynic, dog-like) denotes this peculiarity. The anecdotes&lt;br /&gt;relating to Diogenes illustrate his coarse denunciation of men in&lt;br /&gt;general and their luxurious ways. He set at defiance all the&lt;br /&gt;conventions of courtesy and of decency; spoke his mind on everything&lt;br /&gt;without fear or remorse; and delighted in his antagonism to public&lt;br /&gt;opinion. He followed the public and obtrusive life of Sokrates, but&lt;br /&gt;instead of dialectic skill, his force lay in vituperation, sarcasm,&lt;br /&gt;and repartee.

</title><description>&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      The only difficulty lies in overcoming the inertia of acquired habits.&lt;br /&gt;After one has changed his habits, it is just as easy to live rightly as&lt;br /&gt;to live wrongly. The rules of hygiene are not restrictive, but&lt;br /&gt;liberating. They may seem at first restrictive, for they prohibit many&lt;br /&gt;things which we have been in the habit of doing; but they are really&lt;br /&gt;liberating, for the things we were doing were unrealized restrictions on&lt;br /&gt;our own power to work, to be useful, or even to enjoy life. The 'rules'&lt;br /&gt;of hygiene are thus simply the means of emancipating us from our real&lt;br /&gt;limitations. These so-called rules, when tried, will prove to be not&lt;br /&gt;artificial but natural, not difficult but easy, not complicated but&lt;br /&gt;simple. They are almost as simple as the direction to bathe in the river&lt;br /&gt;Jordan. It is, in fact, their very simplicity and availability to which&lt;br /&gt;is largely due their deplorable neglect and the failure to realize the&lt;br /&gt;wonderful benefits following their careful and continued observance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/615024553371766364-8851681022655939771?l=beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com/2007/10/only-difficulty-lies-in-overcoming.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615024553371766364.post-8169107887070124316</guid><pubDate>Tue, 30 Oct 2007 16:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-30T09:18:56.120-07:00</atom:updated><title>After these three motives, Bentham places the Dictates of Religion,

Were the Being, who is the object of religion,&lt;br /&gt;universally supposed to be as benevolent as he is supposed to be wise&lt;br /&gt;and powerful, and were the notions of his benevolence as correct as the&lt;br /&gt;notions of his wisdom and power, the dictates of religion would&lt;br /&gt;correspond, in all cases, with Utility. But while men call him&lt;br /&gt;benevolent in words, they seldom mean that he is so in reality. They do&lt;br /&gt;not mean that he is benevolent as man is conceived to be benevolent;&lt;br /&gt;they do not mean that he is benevolent in the only sense that&lt;br /&gt;benevolence has a meaning. The dictates of religion are in all&lt;br /&gt;countries intermixed, more or less, with dictates unconformable to&lt;br /&gt;utility, deduced from texts, well or ill interpreted, of the writings&lt;br /&gt;held for sacred by each sect. These dictates, however, gradually&lt;br /&gt;approach nearer to utility, because the dictates of the moral sanction&lt;br /&gt;do so.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/615024553371766364-8169107887070124316?l=beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com/2007/10/after-these-three-motives-bentham.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615024553371766364.post-6444221536888127089</guid><pubDate>Mon, 29 Oct 2007 22:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-29T15:18:15.428-07:00</atom:updated><title>It does not come within the scope of this essay to speculate upon the

This lesson may be learned by&lt;br /&gt;the farmer in the wonderful growth of vegetation; by the artist, in the&lt;br /&gt;powers of invention and taste of the human mind and soul; by the man of&lt;br /&gt;science, in the beauty of an insect or the order of a universe. The&lt;br /&gt;vision of the idle is limited. The ability to see may be improved by&lt;br /&gt;education as much as the ability to read, remember, or converse. With&lt;br /&gt;many people, not seeing is a habit. Near-sighted persons are generally&lt;br /&gt;those who declined to look at distant objects; and so nature, true to&lt;br /&gt;the most perfect rules of economy, refused to keep in order faculties&lt;br /&gt;that were entirely neglected. The laborer"s recompense is not money, nor&lt;br /&gt;the accumulation of worldly goods chiefly; but it is in his increased&lt;br /&gt;ability to observe, appreciate, and enjoy the world, with its beauties&lt;br /&gt;and blessings. Nor is labor, the penalty for sin, a punishment merely,&lt;br /&gt;but a divine means of reformation. It is, therefore, a moral discipline&lt;br /&gt;that all should submit to; and especially is it a means by which the&lt;br /&gt;youth here are to be prepared for the duties of life. But industry is&lt;br /&gt;not only near to all the virtues; it is itself a virtue, as idleness is&lt;br /&gt;a vice. The word _labor_ is, of course, used in the broadest&lt;br /&gt;signification. Labor is any honest employment, or use of the head or&lt;br /&gt;hands, which brings good to ourselves, and consequently, though&lt;br /&gt;indirectly, brings good to our fellow-men.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/615024553371766364-3928296408443920818?l=beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com/2007/10/labor-gives-us-better-knowledge-of.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615024553371766364.post-6596310395029465444</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Oct 2007 20:20:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-26T13:20:03.635-07:00</atom:updated><title>A question frequently asked is this: if the yellow and red

The oxides of titanium and of carbon found in the red&lt;br /&gt;stars, where the surface temperatures must be relatively low,&lt;br /&gt;would dissociate themselves into more elemental components and&lt;br /&gt;lose their identity if the temperature and other conditions&lt;br /&gt;were changed back to those of the early helium stars. Lockyer"s&lt;br /&gt;name is closely connected with this phenomenon of dissociation.&lt;br /&gt;There is no evidence, to the best of my knowledge, that the&lt;br /&gt;elements known in our Earth are not essentially universal in&lt;br /&gt;distribution, either in the forms which the elements have in&lt;br /&gt;the Earth, or dissociated into simpler forms wherever the&lt;br /&gt;temperatures or other conditions make dissociations possible&lt;br /&gt;and unavoidable.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/615024553371766364-6596310395029465444?l=beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com/2007/10/question-frequently-asked-is-this-if.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615024553371766364.post-7172232069055185871</guid><pubDate>Fri, 26 Oct 2007 08:20:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-26T01:20:51.793-07:00</atom:updated><title>His classification of Virtue comprehends (1) Duty to God, which he

</title><description>&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      introduced by Mr&lt;br /&gt;In January, 1833, the House of Representatives, under an order&lt;br /&gt;introduced by Mr. Marsh, of Dalton, appointed a committee 'to consider&lt;br /&gt;the expediency of investing a portion of the proceeds of the sales of&lt;br /&gt;the lands of this commonwealth in a permanent fund, the interest of&lt;br /&gt;which should be annually applied, as the Legislature should from time to&lt;br /&gt;time direct, for the encouragement of common schools.' The adoption of&lt;br /&gt;this order was the incipient measure that led to the establishment of&lt;br /&gt;the Massachusetts School Fund. On the twenty-third of the same month,&lt;br /&gt;Mr. Marsh submitted the report of the committee. The committee acted&lt;br /&gt;upon the expectation that all moneys then in the treasury derived from&lt;br /&gt;the sale of public lands, and the entire proceeds of all subsequent&lt;br /&gt;sales, were to be set apart as a fund for the encouragement of common&lt;br /&gt;schools; but, as blanks were left in the bill reported, they seem not to&lt;br /&gt;have been sanguine of the liberality of the Legislature. The cash and&lt;br /&gt;notes on hand amounted to $234,418.32, and three and a half millions of&lt;br /&gt;acres of land unsold amounted, at the estimated price of forty cents per&lt;br /&gt;acre, to $1,400,000 more; making together a fund with a capital of&lt;br /&gt;$1,634,418.32. The income was estimated at $98,065.09. It was also&lt;br /&gt;stated that there were 140,000 children in the state between the ages of&lt;br /&gt;five and fifteen years, and it was therefore expected that the income of&lt;br /&gt;the fund would permit a distribution to the towns of seventy cents for&lt;br /&gt;each child between the afore-named ages. This certainly was a liberal&lt;br /&gt;expectation, compared with the results that have been attained. The&lt;br /&gt;distributive share of each child has amounted to only about one-third of&lt;br /&gt;the sum then contemplated. The committee were careful to say, 'It is not&lt;br /&gt;intended, in establishing a school fund, to relieve towns and parents&lt;br /&gt;from the principal expense of education; but to manifest our interest&lt;br /&gt;in, and to give direction, energy, and stability to, institutions&lt;br /&gt;essential to individual happiness and the public welfare.' In&lt;br /&gt;conclusion, the committee make the following inquiries and suggestions:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/615024553371766364-4928398612226382422?l=beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com/2007/10/in-january-1833-house-of.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615024553371766364.post-2584898779054566595</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Oct 2007 18:18:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-25T11:18:49.154-07:00</atom:updated><title>Aristotle thus lays down the outline of man"s supreme Good or

He next proceeds to compare this outline with the&lt;br /&gt;various received opinions on the subject of happiness, showing that it&lt;br /&gt;embraces much of what has been considered essential by former&lt;br /&gt;philosophers: such as being "a good of the mind," and not a mere&lt;br /&gt;external good: being equivalent to "living well and doing well,"&lt;br /&gt;another definition; consisting in virtue (the Cynics); in practical&lt;br /&gt;wisdom--[Greek: phronaesis] (Sokrates); in philosophy; or in all these&lt;br /&gt;coupled with pleasure (Plato, in the Philebus). Agreeing with those&lt;br /&gt;who insisted on virtue, Aristotle considers his own theory an&lt;br /&gt;improvement, by requiring virtue in act, and not simply in possession.&lt;br /&gt;Moreover, he contends that to the virtuous man, virtuous performance&lt;br /&gt;is in itself pleasurable; so that no extraneous source of pleasure is&lt;br /&gt;needed. Such (he says) is the judgment of the truly excellent man;&lt;br /&gt;which must be taken as conclusive respecting the happiness, as well as&lt;br /&gt;the honourable pre-eminence of the best mental exercises.&lt;br /&gt;Nevertheless, he admits (so far complying with the Cyrenaics) that&lt;br /&gt;some extraneous conditions cannot be dispensed with; the virtuous man&lt;br /&gt;can hardly exhibit his virtue in act, without some aid from friends&lt;br /&gt;and property; nor can he be happy if his person is disgusting to&lt;br /&gt;behold or his parentage vile (VIII.).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/615024553371766364-2584898779054566595?l=beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com/2007/10/aristotle-thus-lays-down-outline-of-man.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615024553371766364.post-8582462903124274226</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Oct 2007 16:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-25T09:19:18.360-07:00</atom:updated><title>But this new cloudy political cowardice has rendered useless

The faithfulness of the teacher is very much dependent upon the&lt;br /&gt;supervision to which he is subject. This is only saying that the teacher&lt;br /&gt;is human. In the public school there is no motive which can influence a&lt;br /&gt;reasonable man that would lead him to swerve in the least from his&lt;br /&gt;fidelity to the interest of the school as a whole. No partiality to a&lt;br /&gt;particular individual, no desire to promulgate a special idea, can ever&lt;br /&gt;stand in the place of that public support which is best secured by a&lt;br /&gt;just performance of his duties. In the private school, with a&lt;br /&gt;self-perpetuating board of trustees, the temptation is strong to make&lt;br /&gt;the organization subservient to some opinion in politics, religion, or&lt;br /&gt;social life. This may not always be done; but in many cases it has been&lt;br /&gt;done, and there is no reason to expect different things in the future. I&lt;br /&gt;concur, then, unreservedly in the judgment which has placed this&lt;br /&gt;institution, in all its interests and in all its duties, under the&lt;br /&gt;control of the inhabitants of Bernardston. When they who live in its&lt;br /&gt;light and enjoy its benefits cease to respect it, when they to whom it&lt;br /&gt;is specially dedicated cease to love and cherish it, it will no longer&lt;br /&gt;be entitled to the favorable consideration of a more extended public&lt;br /&gt;sentiment. As all trustworthy national patriotism must be built on love&lt;br /&gt;for state, town, and home, so every school ought to esteem its power for&lt;br /&gt;usefulness in its own neighborhood its chief means of good.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/615024553371766364-6048081846001590552?l=beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com/2007/10/2dly.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615024553371766364.post-3920368273977599299</guid><pubDate>Thu, 25 Oct 2007 02:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-24T19:19:24.765-07:00</atom:updated><title>Others, in more modern times, have considered that the moral character

Character has two distinct phases, which may be called the&lt;br /&gt;_subjective_ phase and the _social_ phase; or, stating it differently,&lt;br /&gt;character is both what we _are_ and what we _do_. The first of these has&lt;br /&gt;to do with the nature of the real, innermost self; and the last, with&lt;br /&gt;the modes in which this self finds expression. And it is fair to say&lt;br /&gt;that those about us are concerned with what we are chiefly from its&lt;br /&gt;relation to what we do.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/615024553371766364-2279953863853802965?l=beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com/2007/10/expression-and-character.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615024553371766364.post-3156870192688018042</guid><pubDate>Tue, 23 Oct 2007 10:19:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-23T03:19:07.962-07:00</atom:updated><title>This new public concern for the welfare of little children in certain

New York, Chicago, Boston and&lt;br /&gt;other large towns, employ hundreds of nurses each summer to instruct&lt;br /&gt;tenement-house mothers upon the care of little children. Doubtless all&lt;br /&gt;of this enthusiasm for the nurture of children will at last arouse&lt;br /&gt;public opinion in regard to the transmission of that one type of disease&lt;br /&gt;which thousands of them annually inherit, and which is directly&lt;br /&gt;traceable to the vicious living of their parents or grandparents. This&lt;br /&gt;slaughter of the innocents, this infliction of suffering upon the&lt;br /&gt;new-born, is so gratuitous and so unfair, that it is only a question of&lt;br /&gt;time until an outraged sense of justice shall be aroused on behalf of&lt;br /&gt;these children. But even before help comes through chivalric sentiments,&lt;br /&gt;governmental and municipal agencies will decline to spend the&lt;br /&gt;tax-payers" money for the relief of suffering infants, when by the&lt;br /&gt;exertion of the same authority they could easily provide against the&lt;br /&gt;possibility of the birth of a child so afflicted. It is obvious that the&lt;br /&gt;average tax-payer would be moved to demand the extermination of that&lt;br /&gt;form of vice which has been declared illegal, although it still&lt;br /&gt;flourishes by official connivance, did he once clearly apprehend that it&lt;br /&gt;is responsible for the existence of these diseases which cost him so&lt;br /&gt;dear. It is only his ignorance which makes him remain inert until each&lt;br /&gt;victim of the white slave traffic shall be avenged unto the third and&lt;br /&gt;fourth generation of them that bought her. It is quite possible that the&lt;br /&gt;tax-payer will himself contend that, as the state does not legalize a&lt;br /&gt;marriage without a license officially recorded, that the status of&lt;br /&gt;children may be clearly defined, so the state would need to go but one&lt;br /&gt;step further in the same direction, to insist upon health certificates&lt;br /&gt;from the applicant for a marriage license, that the health of future&lt;br /&gt;children might in a certain measure, be guaranteed. Whether or not this&lt;br /&gt;step may be predicted, the mere discussion of this matter in itself, is&lt;br /&gt;an indication of the changing public opinion, as is the fact that such&lt;br /&gt;legislation has already been enacted in two states, which are only now&lt;br /&gt;putting into action the recommendation made centuries ago by such social&lt;br /&gt;philosophers as Plato and Sir Thomas More. A sense of justice outraged&lt;br /&gt;by the wanton destruction of new-born children, may in time unite with&lt;br /&gt;that ardent tide of rising enthusiasm for the nurture of the young,&lt;br /&gt;until the old barriers of silence and inaction, behind which the social&lt;br /&gt;evil has so long intrenched itself, shall at last give way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/615024553371766364-3156870192688018042?l=beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com/2007/10/this-new-public-concern-for-welfare-of.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615024553371766364.post-1706305400977845846</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Oct 2007 10:16:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-22T03:16:43.414-07:00</atom:updated><title>II
</title><description>&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;div xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml'&gt;&lt;br /&gt;      II. _Is the particular education given in the public schools unfavorable&lt;br /&gt;to the morals of the pupils, and, consequently, to the morality of the&lt;br /&gt;community?_ I have already presented a view of the moral and religious&lt;br /&gt;education given in the schools, and it only remains to consider the&lt;br /&gt;culture that is in its leading features intellectual. It may be said,&lt;br /&gt;speaking generally, that education is a training and development of the&lt;br /&gt;faculties, so as to make them harmonize in power, and in their relations&lt;br /&gt;to each other. Among other things, the ability to read is acquired in&lt;br /&gt;the public schools. In the individual, this is a power for good. It&lt;br /&gt;opens to the mind and heart the teachings of the sacred Scriptures; it&lt;br /&gt;secures the companionship of the great, the wise, and the good, of every&lt;br /&gt;age; and it is a possession that, in all cases, must be the foundation&lt;br /&gt;of those scientific acquisitions, intellectual, moral, and natural,&lt;br /&gt;which show the beneficence and power of the Creator, and indicate the&lt;br /&gt;fact and the law of human responsibility. The natural and general effect&lt;br /&gt;of the sciences taught in the schools is an illustration of the last&lt;br /&gt;statement. Moreover, the mere presence of a child, though he took no&lt;br /&gt;part in the studies of the school, is to him a moral lesson. He feels&lt;br /&gt;the force of government, he acquires the habit of obedience, and, in&lt;br /&gt;time, he comprehends the reason of the rules that are established. This&lt;br /&gt;discipline is essentially moral, and furnishes some basis, though&lt;br /&gt;partial and unsatisfactory, for the proper discharge of the duties of&lt;br /&gt;life. But it is to be remembered that the power of the school is but in&lt;br /&gt;its beginning when the presence of a pupil is recognized. The constancy&lt;br /&gt;and punctuality of attendance required by all judicious parents and&lt;br /&gt;faithful teachers are important moral lessons, whose influence can never&lt;br /&gt;be destroyed. The fixedness of purpose that is required, and is&lt;br /&gt;essential in school, remains as though it were a part of the nature of&lt;br /&gt;the child and the man. School-life strengthens habits of industry when&lt;br /&gt;they exist, and creates them when they do not. It is, indeed, the only&lt;br /&gt;means, of universal application, that is competent to train children in&lt;br /&gt;habits of industry. Private schools can never furnish this training; for&lt;br /&gt;large numbers of children, by the force of circumstances, are deprived&lt;br /&gt;of the tuition of such schools. Business life cannot furnish this&lt;br /&gt;training; for the habits of the child are usually moulded, if not&lt;br /&gt;hardened, before he arrives at an age when he can be constantly employed&lt;br /&gt;in any industrial vocation. The public school is no doubt justly&lt;br /&gt;chargeable with neglects and omissions; but its power for good, measured&lt;br /&gt;by the character of the education now furnished, is certainly very&lt;br /&gt;great. It inculcates habits of regularity, punctuality, constancy, and&lt;br /&gt;industry, in the pursuits of business; through literature and the&lt;br /&gt;sciences in their elements, and, under some circumstances, by an&lt;br /&gt;advanced course of study, it leads the pupil towards the fountain of&lt;br /&gt;life and wisdom; and, by the moral and religious instruction daily&lt;br /&gt;given, some preparation is made for the duties of life and the&lt;br /&gt;temptations of the world.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/615024553371766364-1706305400977845846?l=beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac.blogspot.com/2007/10/ii.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (beachcondohousemyrtlerentvac)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink='false'>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-615024553371766364.post-1921557981383057827</guid><pubDate>Mon, 22 Oct 2007 00:17:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-10-21T17:17:24.857-07:00</atom:updated><title>I think the essentially unanimous view of astronomers is to the
