C. PREFACE. In all ages of the world, and in all countries, men have in­ dulged in "so­ cial drinks." They have al­ ways possess­ ed themselves of some popu­ lar beverage apart from water and those of the breakfast and tea table. Whether it is judicious that mankind should con­ tinue to indulge in such things, or whether it would be wiser to abstain from all enjoyments of that character, it is not our province to decide. We leave that question to the moral philosopher. We simply contend that a relish for "social drinks" is universal; that those drinks exist in greater variety in the United States than in any other country in the world; and that he, therefore, who proposes to impart to these drink not only the most palatable but the most wholesome characteristics of which they may be made susceptible, is a genuine public benefactor.

Although, in general, the girls among them play a secondary role, they nevertheless form a group which is not only interesting, but which receives a special form of attention from its creator. In Balzac's view, the typical girl (who is also his ideal) is sweet, pure and docile, and most of the girls he depicts fall into this category, although they often combine with these passive traits a surprising degree of will-power.

  • Learning to Read
    Supporting Your Child Mathematics 2019 Many people are concerned that, when supporting their child with maths at home, they may be confusing their child and making things worse. This booklet, together with the yearly mathematics meeting we run for parents, is designed to reassure and support you! MATHS What Do The Children At Torpoint Nursery And Infant School Learn In Mathematics? “Through creative, practical and exciting teaching of mathematics we enable our children to not only feel confident using their developing skills, knowledge and understanding to tackle mathematics activities but also to feel pleasure and wonder when they solve a problem for the first time, discover patterns, or notice connections.” In the Early Years Foundation Stage we follow the Statutory Framework for the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS). With support from the Development Matters in the Early Years Foundation Stage and the Early Years Outcomes publications to help staff identify ways of working that enable children to demonstrate the typical behaviours for their age. We ensure children are supported in developing their understanding of Mathematics in a broad range of contexts. These are contexts in which they can explore, enjoy, learn, practise and talk about their developing understanding. Children are provided with opportunities to practise and extend their skills, including recording, in all areas and to gain confidence and competence. In Key Stage One the National Curriculum provides the basis of mathematical learning. Your child‟s teacher will talk to you about what your child is learning during parental consultations and in the termly reports. In addition our open door policy means at any time your child‟s teacher can answer any questions you have and if there is any area that it would be particularly useful for you to support your child with.

DEAL Thirteen each, one at a time and face down. The last (52nd) card is turned face up to determine a trump suit before being taken up into dealer’s hand. OBJECT Players sitting opposite each other are partners. A rubber is won by the first side to win two games. A game is won by the first side to win 5 points, which may take one or several deals. The object of play is to win a majority of the 13 tricks, i.e., seven or more. A partnership scores 1 point for every trick it takes in excess of six (6 tricks constitute a book; those in excess are called odd tricks). Points are also scored for honours, these being the AKQ and J of trumps. A side scores 4 points for holding four honours or 2 for holding any three, but these are not credited until the hands have been played out, and must therefore be remembered. PLAY The player at dealer’s left leads to the first trick. Others in turn must follow suit if possible, otherwise may trump or renounce ad lib. The trick is won by the highest card of the suit led, or by the highest trump if any are played.

  • Self-Directedness and Hemisphericity Over the Adult Life Span by Constance Christensen Blackwood a Thesis Submitted in Partial F
    Self-directedness and hemisphericity over the adult life span by Constance Christensen Blackwood A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Education Montana State University © Copyright by Constance Christensen Blackwood (1988) Abstract: The purpose of the study was to add empirical evidence to the argument that adult learning theory has a definite and specific place on the general learning theory continuum. To do this the study sought to clarify the role of self-directedness as a personality construct in adult education. In addition, it sought to solidify the role of hemisphericity as an important concept of adult learning. The study used the Oddi Continuing Learning Inventory to measure self-directedness as a personality construct and the refined Wagner Preference Inventory to measure hemisphericity. To round out the test packet, a demographic questionnaire was included. There were 390 participants in the study. The study was designed to be a technical variation of Torrance and Mourad's correlational study (1978) using different instruments, a more diverse population and more comprehensive data analysis. The study found positive correlation between high degrees of self-directedness and left hemisphericity. It also found correlations between high scores in self-directedness and age, and left hemisphericity and age. It is concluded that this study supports the notion that adult learning theory should be considered separately from childhood learning theory. The results of this study conflict with the findings of Torrance and Mourad (1978) and it is recommended that replications of this study be conducted to verify the direction of the link between self-directedness and hemisphere dominance.
