Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Plea for Greek in the American High School Greek is the one ideal element needed to round out and per feet our system of democratic education. Its call is a spiritual one. The maintenance of Greek in the high school is our tribute of loyalty to the spiritual ancestry of our culture. The time is come, when we too of Virginia and the South can afford to pay such reverence to the ideal interests of life. Our public school system can never be fully worthy of an enlightened democracy, until we shall have made it possible for any number of pupils, however small, to pursue the study of Greek during the last two years of the high school course. For nothing is more certain than that, in the profoundest essentials of our thought and speech. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Histories of Greece and Rome written by and published by . This book was released on 2015-06-29 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Histories of Greece and Rome: And of South and North America Two thousand copies of the Plymouth first edition of this work have been sold, in the space of a few years. This is ample evidence of the estimation in which it is held by the public. As the best return the publisher can make for the patronage, which he has received, he has spared no expense to render the pie-sent edition more accurate and worthy of encouragement, than any which has preceded it. The reviser, to whom was submitted the examination of the copy, before it was put to the press, has corrected many errors, which had crept into the work in previous impressions, especially in the ancient histories, by carefully comparing it with standard authorities, The histories of South and North America, which are extracted almost entirely from Dr. Robertson and Dr. Gordon, and of which they are good abridgments, he has collated throughout with the originals, rectified occasional mistakes, and supplied some omissions. He did not think it his duty to new-model Mr. Cooper's composition, excepting in a few instances, where perspicuity manifestly required it, though he felt a strong desire to restore the elegant periods of the historian of South America. It was his intention to make the orthography of the volume uniform, corresponding with that of Johnson and Walker. The publisher flatters himself, that his second edition of the work, now offered the community, will meet their continued approbation. He trusts, that it will answer the candid expectation of those schools and literary institutions, by whom it is used as an elementary treatise. In fine, he hopes, that these histories of Mr. Cooper's, whose lucid order, judicious and interesting selection of materials, compressed into a small compass - excellences allowed them by common suffrage - wherever they may circulate, will prove of essential benefit in forming the minds of the rising generation, for whom they were designed, and to whose capacity they appear very well adapted.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Greek-American Colony, 1884-1934 The American nation, physically, is a composite of different nationalities, chiefly of Germanic or Nordic races who were the first to colonize the land; but in the essentials of progressiveness, intellectuality and courage, the American people are the spiritual children of Greece and heirs to all her imperishable traditions; that is, the same spirit that animated the old Greeks to great achievements is animating the Americans of today into achievements that in magnitude and daring, surely, have never been rivaled through the ages.

Download or read book The American Red Cross in Greece (Classic Reprint) written by Edward Capps and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Red Cross in Greece The American Red Cross has maintained a mission in Greece for a period of nine months. During that period the uniforms of the American Red Cross officer and of the American Red Cross trained nurse and social worker have become familiar to a large proportion of the Greek people; and the people of certain sections of the country have been able to observe with their own eyes the busi ness upon which the American organization has. Been engaged. We need no introduction, for example, to the inhabitants of Eastern Macedonia and the larger Aegean islands; and the people in Athens, in a general Way, know the purpose of the mission. But probably the Greek people as a whole have been somewhat at a loss to understand why the American Red Cross was here what were the motives and objects of the missmn; and, naturally, they have had little opportunity of learning what we have actually been doing in Greece-the nature and extent of our undertakings. It has, therefore, seemed to me, as head of the mission, proper to issue this statement about the American Red Cross Commission to Greece, and to review, briefly, the work upon which we have been engaged and which has now been brought to a conclusion. For the mis sion will have failed in one of its objects if, as a result of oursojourn in Greece, the Greek people and the Amer ican people are not drawn together in closer bonds of sympathy, understanding and friendship.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Interest in the Greek Revolution, 1821-1833 Rome was not built in a day; the sentiment prompting and supporting America's entrance into the Great war is not the product of a moment. It is a characteristic as old as the policy of splendid isolation itself. Nor is, this the first occasion upon which the appeal of other nations for liberalism has roused the people of the United States. 'from time to time their interest and sympathy hawebeen enlisted in the contests for popular govern ments abroad. That their arms have not until now been put into service has probably been due to the discretion of the national leaders in those crises.

Book Synopsis Ancient Greeks by : Rosalie F. Baker
Download or read book Ancient Greeks written by Rosalie F. Baker and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1997-07-31 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Outstanding individuals have the whole world as their memorial."--PericlesThe influence of ancient Greek civilization has been felt throughout modern Western history. Greek ideas can be found in the laws that govern our lives, the buildings in which we live, the books we read, and the vocabulary we use every day. Because these ideas have become so much a part of our daily life, we tend to forget that they originated more than 2,500 years ago.Ancient Greeks chronicles the lives and accomplishments of Greek figures whose influence continues to be felt today. We read about Greeks from all walks of life, including one of the greatest physicians who ever lived, the father of logic, and a brilliant mathematician who once said, "Give me a lever long enough, and a fulcrum strong enough, and I will single-handedly move the world." And move the world he did, but with his ideas, not a mighty fulcrum.In 42 essays, authors Rosalie and Charles Baker explore the lives of many personalities, from the most famous Greeks to people who are usually overlooked, including:Aesop, author of timeless fables that continue to provide lessons todayLycurgus, the legendary ruler of SpartaPlato, the great philosopher who established the Academy in AthensPhidippides, a courier and long-distance runner whose run from Marathon to Athens became the basis of the modern marathonSappho, one of the best female poets of classical antiquityHippocrates, one of the greatest physicians who ever livedAlcibiades, a patriot-turned-traitor who was exiled from GreeceIctinus, the architect responsible for the design of the ParthenonAristotle, the father of logic who tutored the teenage Alexander the GreatAlexander the Great, who ruled Greece, defeated the great Persian empire, conquered lands bordering the eastern Mediterranean Sea, including Egypt, and won control of lands stretching into India (and all that before his 33rd birthday)Zeno, founder of the philosophy known as StoicismThe biographies span the years 700 B.C. to 200 B.C., from Homer, the master of epic poetry and the author of the Iliad, to Eratosthenes, a brilliant mathematician who was the first to calculate the earth's circumference. A handy fact box that lists birth and death dates and the major accomplishments of each person profiled, abundant photographs and specially commissioned maps, a timeline, a glossary of Greek terms, an index of Greeks by profession, a pronunciation guide, and suggestions for further reading all add to the usefulness of this exceptional reference. With figures from fields as diverse as literature, mathematics, politics, the military, philosophy, and science, Ancient Greeks provides a comprehensive examination of the origins of modern civilization.
Book Synopsis Greeks in Queens by : Christina Rozeas
Download or read book Greeks in Queens written by Christina Rozeas and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Greeks in Queens is an interesting history of this often unwritten about New York community. By the early 1900s, New York was becoming a melting pot for immigrants hailing from different nations. Though many settlers chose Manhattan as their home, others ventured forward into the borough of Queens. America itself was named the land of opportunity, and Greeks seeking those opportunities developed the largest Greek community outside of Athens in Astoria. Through the growth of the Greek community came Greek Orthodox schools and churches, the earliest in Queens being St. Demetrios, built in 1927, and Greek-owned businesses, especially catering halls like Crystal Palace, coffee shops (that now line busy Astoria streets), and diners. These establishments gave this special community a place to gather together and secure its standing and future in New York. Greeks in Queens traces the immigrant journey from Greece to America and shows how the Greeks--through wars, hard work, education, and dedication--developed a thriving and much larger community than their predecessors thought possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constantine I and the Greek People As I wrote the pages which follow. I sent a carbon copy to the State Department for its information. When the book was printed and ready for publication, I took a copy to Mr. Creel's othee, and said I was quite ready to conform to any desire the administration might express regarding its publication. There was not the slightest suggestion of opposition to its appearance. But while the book was being written, precisely what my friend had predicted was taking place in Greece. No whisper of what was going on under cover reached the American people, however. We had entered the war against Germany on April 6; but our allies saw in that fact no reason to share with the American people their secret intentions toward Greece, nor the unusual course they were even then planning; to follow in respect to a sovereign people determined to remain as neutral as Spain or Holland, and for much the same reasons.
