    MERRILL MOORES House of Representatives U. S. December 2, 1919. Dear Mr, Bade, I was with John Muir in the Yosemite Valley from June to October, 1872. During all that time he did not occupy any house or cabin, and both he and I slept in the open. Either he or Fred Brightman showed me the sugar pine cabin in the neighborhood of the old saw mill, which he occupied when he was in the employ of Hutchings. He had a quarter of a mile north of Jim Lamon\u27s cabin, and a little to the west, a corral in which were seven horses which an Englishman named Tom Eaglesfield or Eagleston had left in his charge, and which were grazed in the Yosemite. Near them was a simple rough shelter in which was a very little hay, but we did not sleep in the shelter, although we did sleep somewhere near it. In a general way I think you have described the location. Tom Lupton, an Indian who was still living in 1915 in the Valley, often slept there with Muir and me, and can easily load you to the place if he is still living. At the time I was in the Yosemite he did not have any cabin at all. I have unfortunately no old photographs of the Valley. If I can be of any further assistance to you at any time, I shall be glad to do so. Very sincerely yours, Mr, William Frederic Bade, Pacific School of Religion, Berkeley, Californiahttps://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/jmr-all/1013/thumbnail.jp

    Interactivity or instruction?:a reaction to Merrill

    Full text link
    The models for designing instruction that we have traditionally used are based on or otherwise reflect Gagne's work. These models, called "first generation instructional design" (IDj) by Merrill and his colleagues Zhongmin Li and Mark Jones (1990a) show, however, a number of shortcomings. Among the shortcomings observed by Merrill and his colleagues is that they are out of date. That is to say, new technologies make possible certain forms of interactive education procedures. For these kinds of educational procedures the traditional IDx models are not sufficient. ID2 models should integrate instruction with these "interactive, technology-based delivery systems" (p. 8). As part of Merrill and his colleagues' proposal, which cannot be welcomed toó much, we would expect, however, at least two theoretical expositions: A new definition of "instruction," and the other, a concise description of "interaction"

    -§4 3HHpsJNw» StealiHy* like Mrs* Shelley\u27s, but a thing to be of use; and he very nearly succeeded. Had John \u27Muir lived in the Middle Ages, he might have paid dearly for his ingenuity. In connection with one of his wooden clocks, he contrived a bed that at ft certain hour would place its occupant upon his feet, a lamp that would light itself, and a desk that at proper intervals would present a chemistry for study, a volume of mathematics, a Latin work, or whatever else formed the day\u27s routine, allowing time for neals and recreation. After working his -way through college, young Muir set out on long botanical and geological rambles in Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan., Canada, and around the Srest hakes, roving free as a bird over prairies and bogs, and through wild, aa^eatio forests, supporting himself by any fans work or mill work that oaaie in.his way. A year or two in Indianapolis, where he worked in factory or foundry, offered opportunity for acquaintance with the trees and flowers of this vicinity. This was the very tine that Pr. Schliemann found a transient hoiae in our city, V.\u27ldely different were the two men and their destinies; on© learned in the language of men, severely trained in ancient and modern literature; the other unsurpassed in knowledge of the various language and form and dress of Kature; one with pride and circumstance, unearthing cities and investigating enchanting ruins of the childhood of the world, the other wandering alone and unknown in primeval forests, discovering with unutterable Joy same frail flower or curious fern or mighty river of ice. It was in a workshop in our town that in on& unhappy dusk the skilled hand of John Muir clipped and that his keen, clear eye was pierced b. a sharp instrument, which, in the same moment, pierced his heart, for all the glory of the world he isight never see again flashed swifter than lightning before his.

    Bank of America Center

    View of the summit; 555 California Street was meant to be a deliberate and unmistakable display of Bank of America's importance. To that end, the center was handled by top architecture firms Wurster, Benardi and Emmons and Skidmore, Owings and Merrill, with architect Pietro Belluschi consulting. The structural engineering was performed by the renowned San Francisco firm H. J. Brunnier Associates. The skyscraper incorporates thousands of bay windows thanks to its unique design, meant to improve the rental value. At the north foot of the skyscraper is a large plaza named in honor of Bank of America founder A.P. Giannini. Nearly the entire block--the skyscraper, the banking hall, the plaza, the stairways, and the sidewalks--is clad in costly polished or rough carnelian granite. An exclusive restaurant, the Carnelian Room, is located on the 52nd floor. BankAmerica Corporation was forced to sell the building following losses in 1987.

How he yearned to behold Jesus_ and how many times he could scarce wait to see his Mother - his own Mother who died when he was three years old. Heaven was a seal to him - as earth\u3e and yet how he loved to live_ & with what fervor he did live! _ Of ever I was in doubt or trouble. I had only to write to him. and he helped he. he told me what to do. Ah. This life would be too hard to live if it were not for our friends. I thank God for them daily. I am writing more than I means. I do not want to tire you- only to thank you for 01259 4for all your kindness to my child while she is so far from me. She did want to show her brothers that she could support herself but it seems she cannot find the opportunity near you and I cannot bear to have her go away off to Southern Califor nia. I am like a person with but one foot or hand without her. I want her home again. My boys are well and send love. How they would enjoy your children! Merrill wishes to be remembered to your sister Annie. Kiss the children for their father\u27s friend. I wish we could hope sometime to see you all here. Do you remember that I have some of your botanical specimens in keeping? Sisters Kate & Mina would send love if they knew I was writing.With much love & Many thanks-Julia Merrill Morreshttps://scholarlycommons.pacific.edu/jmcl/35348/thumbnail.jp
