The intellectual phase of manual training
No full textCitation: Robertson, Kate L. The intellectual phase of manual training. Senior thesis, Kansas State Agricultural College, 1905.Morse Department of Special CollectionsIntroduction: Today we find instruction in manual training in some form or other introduced into the schools of most of our progressive cities. It has not come like many educational fads which are of a short duration but has established its value in developing the powers of observation, in calling for, the use of judgment in much the same manner as that of the teaching of the sciences. Arguments have been advanced in favor of manual training from three standpoints - namely that of the pedagogue, the sociologist and the utilitarian. The utilitarian and sociological benefits of education in manual training were earliest reasons advanced in favor of such instruction but it remained for the pedagogue to advance the strongest arguments for such education, arguments that will hold good for all time. Let us glance briefly at the sociological and utilitarian standpoints before taking up that of the pedagogue. Prom the sociological standpoints the new education has been looked upon with favor. The sociologist has discovered that it promotes the growth of the child both individually and in a social way. “The girl who has learned the theory and practice of cooking and who can make her own garments will be a more sympathetic and tolerant woman because of such knowledge and skill.” The boy who studies the classics it has as much need, physiologically and psychologically, of this training as has the boy who must earn his own living, and society is equally concerned with both cases

This woman's work: Kate Bush, female fans and practices of distinction
No full textThis thesis proposes a broader understanding of the nature of women’s investments in popular music. Through a case-study of a group of mostly mature, middle class, white and heterosexual female fans for the British performer Kate Bush (1958- ) this thesis asks questions about the way in which gender, age, class, race/ethnicity and sexuality circulate within the field of popular music fandom, a field which has traditionally privileged masculinity and youth.
Studies of popular music consumption have tended to emphasise the notion of resistance to dominant culture, often by young, working class men. This has obscured the investments more mature and middle class women might have in popular music. This thesis shows that these investments are, instead of wholly conservative as is usually implied, both resistant and reactionary. In a similar way, these investments do not necessarily lead to powerful positions for the women (for instance, in a domestic context), but they do empower them to deal with the demands of work and relationships.
The women’s claims to distinction as serious music lovers are often made at the expense of other fans, especially young girls, and as such reinforce existing notions of the undiscriminating and ‘eroticised’ female fan. At the same time, however, their claims to distinction on account of their ‘feminine cultural capital’, enabled by Kate Bush’s blend of a ‘masculine’ musical virtuosity and a ‘feminine’ address, partly challenges the male domination of the popular music field. Furthermore, the women’s articulation of popular music and a mature sensibility challenges the medium’s youth ethos and offers an understanding of the way in which popular music returns its value for listeners through the long term

Teardrop by L. Kate
No full textKate, Lauren. Teardrop. New York: Delacorte Press, 2013. Print.This Young Adult fantasy novel explores the compelling story of Eureka Boudreaux who was taught at a young age to never, ever cry. Ever since her mother drowned in an accident by the force of a rogue wave, Eureka no longer has the desire to live.Not long after the terrifying incident, a mysterious boy, Ander, enters her life. Although she has never seen Ander before, he feels strangely familiar and has an unusual talent for appearing in front of Eureka when she least expects him. He appears to know everything about her and warns her that she is in grave danger. Not long after their first encounter, Eureka discovers that Ander is the only person who has come close to making her cry.As she learns to cope with her new reality, Eureka finds solace in Brooks, her oldest friend with whom she can share anything. Together they try to solve the mystery of the strange inheritance from her mother – a locket, a letter, a stone, and an ancient book that no one understands. Eureka recruits a fortune teller who is able to translate the text and finds that the book is a story about a girl who had her heart broken and cried the ancient world of Atlantis into the sea. Characters from the book have an uncanny similarity to the people whom she shares a deep connection in her own life. The more of the book that she uncovers, the stranger her life becomes. Soon Eureka discovers that the story is more than an ancient tale and Ander may be telling the truth about her safety. This book is the first in a trilogy, which leaves readers waiting in anticipation for the next installment. It explores themes of depression from the loss of a parent and the author weaves an intricate plot that helps the heroine overcome her grief. Overall, it is a fast-paced story that is well suited to young adult audiences, featuring complex characters, love, and dark magic.Recommended: 3 out of 4 starsReviewer: Janice KungJanice Kung is an Academic Library Intern at the University of Alberta’s John W.
