    CAVEAT AUCTOR: THE WAR OF THE DICTIONARIES BY JANICE A. KRAUS Ms. Kraus is the Rare Books Librarian and Exhibitions Coordinator in Special Collections and Archives MONG the more interesting skirmishes in the history of Ameri- can lexicography is the episodic "War of the Dictionaries," an im- Âbroglio which involved Noah Webster (1758-1843) and his rival Joseph Emerson Worcester (1784-1865), along with their publishers and many literary, educational and political figures of the day. During the course of this "war," charges of plagiarism, misrepresentation, booksell- ers' tricks and calumny were tossed about, leaving everyone involved smeared with their detractors' accusations. Special Collections and Ar- chives has copies of four of the pamphlets issued during this period, pub- lications which are revealing of the kind of defense mounted to combat the opposing side. Three of the four, printed between 1854-1860, have Jo- seph Emerson Worcester as their protagonist; the fourth, printed in 1860, is a measured anonymous defense of Webster.1 The most significant thing about these pamphlets is that they were issued by the respective publishers of Webster's and Worcester's dictionaries, companies with vested interest in sales if not in clarifying or resolving the situation. It should be noted at the outset that this sort of mudslinging was not 1 The four pamphlets in order of publication are: William Draper Swan. A Reply to Messrs. G. & C.

    EDUCATION IS NOT A RACE : A NEW APPROACH TO HELPING MORE STUDENTS SUCCEED IN OUR PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of The School of Continuing Studies and of The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Liberal Studies By Mary Margaret Taylor, B.S. Georgetown University Washington, D.C. April 1, 2013 EDUCATION IS NOT A RACE : A NEW APPROACH TO HELPING MORE STUDENTS SUCCEED IN OUR PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS Mary Margaret Taylor, B.S. Dr. Arnold Bradford, Thesis Mentor ABSTRACT The policy of public education in the early North American Colonies was predicated on the need for a uniform process of teaching the basic essentials to develop a common social, religious, and economic society. As the nation developed, however, including immigrants from around the globe, society became larger, more complex, and less homogenous with sometimes competing and conflicting demands on its peoples. As early as the end of the 18 th century it was clear that a “one-size-fits-all” approach to education was untenable. Ironically, recent programs like the No Child Left Behind Law, emphasize a return to “standardized” results, ignoring the diversity and creativity in the American community. This approach has drawn us back to the educational standards of the Colonial Period, with ever-widening gaps in academic and socio-economic success. The modern reliance on drugs such as Ritalin to focus student attention should be eschewed. Rather, much more emphasis should be placed on reaching students in ways that engage and motivate them to stay in high school, learn, graduate, and go on to experience success in higher education, careers or both.
