DESIGNED CHIEFLY FOR THll: USE OF SCHOOLS, ACADEIDES, AND COLLEGES. BY FURMAN SHEPPARD, . "IT is of infinite moment that you should properly estimate the immense value ofyour National Union to your collective and individual happiness: that you should cherish & cordial, habitual, and immovable attachment to It: accustoming yourselves to think and speak of It as of the palladium of your political safety and prosperity.'' WASHINGTo~'s Farewell .Address to the Peop/£ qfthe UniUd Stu.ta. PHILADELPHIA: CHILDS & PETERSON, 124 ARCH ST. 1855. Entered according t.o Act of Congress, In the year 1855, by FURMAN SIIEPPARD, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Penm~ylvania. PREFACE. IT is almost impossible to exaggerate the importance of a thorough study of the Constitution of the United States by the pupils in our schools. It is, nevertheless, a study which has' hitherto been sadly neglected, chiefly, as teachers are aware, for want of a plain, practical, and thorough work upon the subject. It is true there are several text-books which have been used to a greater or less extent; but however meritorious they are in many respects, in others they seem objectionable. Some of them, in aiming at simplicity and brevity, have become trivial and meagre; others are composed chiefly of disquisitions and gene­ ralities, which cannot be made the proper subject.matter of reci­ tation in the school-room; there are still others containing partisan or sectional views, or assuming a controversial air in the discussion of unsettled constitutional questions.

  • The Junior Secret Noveling Club
    The Junior Secret Noveling Club Eight Lessons for Children Who Want to Write Novels By Lydia Netzer Author of Shine Shine Shine http://lydianetzer.blogspot.com http://www.twitter.com/lostcheerio http://www.facebook.com/lydianetzer ©2009, updated 2013 Junior Secret Novelist Club Preparations Writing a book is not easy. It’s not something that people generally expect a child to be able to do. Not many chil- dren are willing to even contemplate writing a book, let alone attempt to begin one. This hesitation is not a natural reaction; it is a learned one, most likely born out of a parent’s impression of what’s involved in writing a novel. Kids don’t know that writing a novel is something that should intimidate them. And truly, there’s no reason for a child to approach novel writing with such trepidation. Can an eight year old child write a best-selling novel or a literary masterpiece? No. But in the process of writing the novel she can write, she learns a lot about the books she’s reading, and a lot about the creative process, and has a lot of fun. The process of writing a novel can be broken down for your child into eight lessons. This curriculum is less a cur- riculum and more a club. Kids will name their club, choose a secret handshake and “oath,” and earn “badges” by doing weekly lessons, games, and activities. By completing these lessons, the student prepares him or herself for the task of writing a novel, without ever getting spooked by the enormity of the task.
