A Course of Study for the High Schools of Maine
Get PDFOpening Paragraphs:
Teachers and school officers who use this Course of Study will find many valuable suggestions on the work in English in the papers read before the Cumberland County Teachers\u27 Association at its annual meeting in 1895, several of which papers are reproduced in the succeeding pages of this Course.
Able discussions of this and other subjects taught in high schools will be found in the report of the Committee of Ten of the National Educational Association. The volume for 1895 of the Association of Colleges in the Middle States and Maryland also contains valualile reports in civics, history and English. Every high school teacher should make a thorough study of these documents.
The most of the children in the public schools do not expect to enter college. This large majority should receive the best fitting for life\u27s work that the public schools can give them. They need the training and information that can be gained from history, Ianguage, sciene and mathematics. The English course in our Free High schools should have the ripest scholarship, the ablest teaching talent and the strongest personality in the teaching force of the school. Our institutions are not only based on the principle that majorities shall rule, but that they shall be served. English, rnathematics, history and the sciences must be so broadly and inspiringly taught that the boys and girls studying them in our high schools will be made strong to make the good things in life better.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1107/thumbnail.jp

Fair women from Vogue: being a collection of portraits of ladies of New York, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Richmond, and other American cities
Get PDFPreface
The alliance between women and portraiture, close as it has been in all ages since first the art of portrayal was employed, ought not to be set down as wholly an affair of vanity. Doubtless there be feminine Narcissus\u27; but may not benevolence have somewhat to do with beauty\u27s desire to secure for a larger audience a more enduring impression of itself than the one fleetingly mirrored in a cheval glass?
Artists have been the most potent factor in stimulating woman\u27s penchant for painted semblances of her charms, the guild having dedicated the highest qualities of its art to the service of perpetuating her loveliness. In these later times photography also has added its beguilements, and on every side it offers opportunities for seeing ourselves as others see us, or more properly, for seeing ourselves as we hope others see us -- the subtle art of practical flattery being not unknown to the manipulators of cameras.
Vogue at the beginning of its career conceived the idea of publishing, as one of its principal features, portraits of some of the attractive women who adorn the social life of our foremost cities.
In pursuance of this purpose for nearly two years a succession of beauty portraits has been given as charming a presentation as the ability of American decorative artists and the skill of American printers made attainable.
The unique collection of artistically rendered pictures of representative American Society women here presented is the outcome of Vogue\u27s beauty portraits. Photography has rarely, if ever, been so generously aided by art and liberal money expenditure.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1036/thumbnail.jp

11th Annual Report of the Temporary Home for Women and Children of Maine
Get PDFIt has been thought best in presenting the Annual Report of our work for 1893 to enter somewhat into the object of our existence, the work we aim to do, and what actually comes into our hands to do. The statistics for the past year will be given in· a separate report as usual.
The Temporary Home for Women and Children was instituted eleven years ago, to supply a great and long felt need, namely a temporary home for women and children needing from any cause and in any emergency, a helping hand. It is a State Institution, and yet is not limited to those of our own State household, any one found within our borders is offered such assistance as she may need to help her to self-support, or to assist her to her friends.https://digicom.bpl.lib.me.us/books_pubs/1011/thumbnail.jp
