Georg Jellinek, 1892 FIRST TRIP TO CHINA AND THE JAPANESE COMMUNITY IN PEKING When Nakae grew bored with working for the South Manchurian Rail­ way Company, once again his benefactors came to his rescue and found something else for him. Around October 1914, his mother's former boarder, Ts'ao Ju-lin, managed to land him an offer. Ts'ao summoned Nakae to Peking with a one-year contract to work as secretary to Ariga Nagao (1860-1921). Ariga was a professor of international law at Waseda University and had been a friend of Ushikichi's father, although thei; political views diverged sharply. Apparently, years before, Mrs. Nakae out of concern for her wayward son's future had prevailed on the ever grateful Ts'ao to intercede on behalf of Ushikichi if necessary. Nakae received the handsome monthly salary of one hundred yuan for responsibilities neither especially demanding nor explicit. One suspects that he held this sinecure, which might otherwise not have existed, because of his mother's earlier appeal. We know, however, that Nakae spent a great deal of his time in China that year leading what he himself would later refer to as the life of a "profligate villain" (hi5ti5 burai).2 In 1914 Ariga accepted an invitation to serve as an advisor to the gov- "'-------------------- -- 28 A Life Transformed ernment of Yuan Shih-k'ai (1859-1916), which had taken power several years earlier in the young Republic of China.

Lange 1 In October 1918, a suffragist named Florence Huberwald declared to the New Orleans Times-Picayune: “Everything conspires against woman suffrage” (“Influenza,” 1918). That month, she and many other activists watched as the number of flu cases in the United States rose. When I encountered her quote in April 2020, I could relate to her experience in a way that I could not have imagined a few months before. Huberwald had plans, and she saw them collapsing. I, too, had plans, but fellow scholars, museums, historical societies, and numerous other organizations slowly realized that the events we had organized to mark the 19th Amendment’s centennial needed to be changed.

    The Roaring 1900S, 1910S, and 1920S DJ Script Good Evening, Ladies and Gentlemen

    The Roaring 1900s, 1910s, and 1920s DJ script Good evening, ladies and gentlemen. I am happy to speak to all the listeners out there who own the wonderful invention called the radio. Tonight we’ll be listening to a few pieces of popular music from the early 20th century, including the 1900s, 1910s, and 1920s. Let’s begin! The first song you’ll hear is a good example of ragtime music. Ragtime was popular in the 1900s, and this song is the most famous example. It was written in 1902 by an African American man named Scott Joplin. The song is called The Entertainer and it is written for a solo piano. Here’s The Entertainer by Scott Joplin. *listen to “The Entertainer” The next song is by a very famous songwriter named Irving Berlin. He is perhaps the most prolific American songwriter of all time, which means he’s written more popular songs than any other American. This song was inspired by ragtime music and became a hit in 1911. Please enjoy this recording of Alexander’s Ragtime Band by Irving Berlin. *listen to “Alexander’s Ragtime Band” The most important and influential style of music to come out of this time period came from the 1920s. The style is called blues. Blues began as music sung by slaves in the southern United States in the 1800’s and evolved to a sophisticated form of popular music. W.C. Handy, known as the “Father of the Blues” wrote this next song, St. Louis Blues. *listen to“St. Louis Blues” The next popular style of music to emerge in the 1910s was called Dixieland Jazz.

    Special Edition Podcast: Robert Mccloskey

    PODCAST TRANSCRIPT SPECIAL EDITION PODCAST: ROBERT MCCLOSKEY Sarah Mackenzie: 00:00 This is a special edition of the Read-Aloud Revival Podcast. Some authors and illustrators deserve, well, extra attention. If you see their books on a bookshelf, at a garage sale, at the library, and pretty much anywhere, you should just pick them up and read them, read them on your own, read them to the kids in your life. No matter which book it is. And the authors and illustrators behind these kinds of books fascinate me. In this special edition podcast we're meeting the man behind Make Way for Ducklings, Blueberries for Sal, One Morning in Maine, Time of Wonder, Homer Price, and others. Yes, indeed. You've got a special edition of the Read-Aloud Revival. I'm your host, Sarah Mackenzie, and friends, I want to introduce you to Robert McCloskey. Sarah Mackenzie: 01:22 Mr. And Mrs. Mallard we're looking for a place to live, but every time Mr. Mallard saw what looked like a nice place, Mrs. Mallard said it was no good. There were sure to be foxes in the woods or turtles in the water. And she was not going to raise a family where there might be foxes or turtles. So they flew on and on. When they got to Boston, they felt too tired to fly any further. There was a nice pond in the public garden with a little island on it, "The very place to spend the night", quacked Mr. Mallard. So down they flapped.
