The Principia 13201 Clayton Road St. Louis, Missouri 63131 314.434.2100 iii Introduction HIS BOOK CONTAINS selections from prepared messages and 1 letters as well as transcriptions of extemporaneous talks given Tat various meetings by Mrs. Mary Kimball Morgan, founder 3 and first president of The Principia. The ideas here expressed were shared impersonally with her fellow parents and with her school associates in order to encourage their understanding and more con- 6 sistent use of the fundamental ideas upon which Principia’s concept of education was established. It is believed that these ideas do indeed express guidance by 9 Principle rather than by person. They were keystones at the time of the school’s establishment and have continued to guide the work during the last sixty-six years. 12 The greater portion of the material chosen for publication in this book was assembled by Frederic E. Morgan, to which were added certain items supplied by William E. Morgan, Eula T. Gertsch, 15 G. Eldredge Hamlin, and David K. Andrews. The Board of Trustees of The Principia appointed a committee to prepare and publish this material. The Board chose as members of this committee those who 18 had served on Principia’s staff during the period of Mrs. Morgan’s active leadership. Then with the assistance of Edwin S. Leonard, author of As the Sowing, a careful selection was made from the mass 21 of material available in order that significant examples from the full range of ideas evolved by Principia’s founder might be made available to the staff, the alumni, the parents, the trustees, and others actively 24 participating in Principia’s work. It is the expectation of the Board of Trustees that these examples of prayerful guidance by Principle, as expressed by Principia’s first 27 president, will be accepted and utilized at The Principia with ever increasing wisdom, sincerity, and selflessness as the years unfold. Demonstrated application of these basic ideals is essential if The 30 Principia is to make consistent progress in its primary purpose of serving the Cause of Christian Science. iv EDUCATION AT THE PRINCIPIA 1 It is with gratitude for sixty-six years of growth and progress by this institution that the committee authorized to publish this volume 3 reports the completion of its assignment. G. Eldredge Hamlin, Chairman E. Olive Davis David K. Andrews Frederic E. Morgan v Foreword:” “Lest We Forget” HE AccOMPLISHMENT of a holy purpose demands absolute 1 consecration of thought and endeavor. Mary Baker Eddy tells Tus in Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures (p. 426), 3 “The discoverer of Christian Science finds the path less difficult when she has the high goal always before her thoughts, than when she counts her footsteps in endeavoring to reach it.” 6 The Principia was founded for the express purpose of serving the Cause of Christian Science. To serve the Cause through the edu- cation of its young people is the school’s only reason for existence. In 9 every step that is taken in its development, this holy purpose must be kept clearly in view. Nothing less than this purpose must be deemed important. In serving the Cause through its young people, 12 we must offer them, as our first concern, an environment in which Principle is the basis of thought and action. This means that those who execute the plans as conceived must be able to carry out those 15 affairs in accordance with divine Principle. Principle, not person, must be the underlying motive in all that is undertaken and in all the relationships that are established. Thus through all our contacts with 18 these young people, they should be enabled to discern the impor- tance of establishing thought and action on the basis of Principle. It is essential, then, that we bring to this work only those workers who 21 are sufficiently mature in their understanding of Christian Science to use it to guide these students in strong, correct thinking. The Principia is an independent and private philanthropy main- 24 tained and supported by its friends and alumni and directed by a self-perpetuating Board of Trustees. The upbuilding of The Principia can be accomplished only by con- 27 stantly enriching the quality of the work. On the part of the workers there must be a continual deepening of the meaning of Principia and of the reason for its being, and a clearer realization of the opportunity 30 it offers for service to the Cause of Christian Science. This service will vi EDUCATION AT THE PRINCIPIA 1 be in exact proportion to the true consecration of each worker. This consecration, in turn, will depend upon the degree to which each 3 worker understands the educational philosophy underlying the establishment and maintenance of The Principia. It is to set forth these fundamentals that this compilation of the 6 statements of Mary Kimball Morgan on education at The Principia has been made. These statements were made at different times and under many different circumstances, as the occasion arose. Few 9 have been published previously; most of them exist as penciled memoranda in Mrs. Morgan’s handwriting, as her notes of talks which she gave, as minutes of meetings at which she spoke, taken 12 down by the individual appointed as secretary for the occasion, or as letters written or dictated by her. For the Principia student, faculty or staff member, trustee, alumnus, 15 patron, parent, or well-wisher, the bringing together of the educational writings of the founder of The Principia should serve as a reminder of ideas long since assimilated, as a clarification of points in the educa- 18 tional philosophy not before clearly understood, or — most of all — as a renewed incentive to serve the Cause of Christian Science through the activities of The Principia in a more dedicated fashion.

    33 ADVENTIST PERSPECTIVES, Spring, 1989, Vol. II I, No. 1 ''Proper Education'' by G. H. Akers Dr. George H. Akers, currently "Mr. Education" for the Seventh-day Adventist world church, absorbed the educational wisdom of a one-room church school, an academy in the sweeping Shenandoah Valley, and Washington Missionary College (CUC). Teaching, cleaning, and administering education at various levels have been his life for more than forty years of serv­ ice to his church and his God. His doctorate in higher education and historical/philosophical foundations was earned at USCLA. Some sixteen years at Andrews University climaxed with his appointment to the first deanship of the School of Education.

    Soundtrack of the Townships: Gqom | norient.com 27 Sep 2021 03:45:07 Soundtrack of the Townships: Gqom by Philipp Weichenrieder Some call it a hybrid of breakbeat and house, some call it «apocalyptic riot music». But for the producers from the townships of Durban, South Africa, Gqom is more than a clubmusic style. It feels like being dragged into a black hole. A single low-pitched string sound is steadily, ominously and threatening hovering in the background. It is creating an eerie atmosphere, a thick and somewhat physical perceptible veil that is set swinging by stumbling kick drums and develops a strangely light and floating movement which at the same time is raw and fiercely pushing. This contradictory dynamic is characteristic and special about a yet young genre of electronic dance music evolving out of the townships of Durban which is also causing a stir in Europe: Gqom. The Zulu word «Gqom», the combination of g and q articulated with a click made with the tongue (can be heard here), means either «drum», «noise», «bucket» or «music». Sometimes the term is also explained as an onomatopoeic equivalence to the noise of a stone falling on a floor tile. This stands for the raw sound with its repetitive and hypnotizing drum rhythm in its centre. Gqom music is not about feel-good harmonies, it is about trance. Pioneering producers like 21-years-old DJ Lag or 26-years-old Sbucardo also https://norient.com/index.php/stories/soundtrack-of-the-townships-gqom-from-durban Page 1 of 5 Soundtrack of the Townships: Gqom | norient.com 27 Sep 2021 03:45:07 describe Gqom as «3-Step».

  • A History of the New Thought Movement
    RY OF THE r-lT MOVEMEN1 DRESSER I Presented to the LIBRARY of the UNIVERSITY OF TORONTO by Victoria College A HISTORY OF THE NEW THOUGHT MOVEMENT BY HORATIO W. DRESSER AUTHOR OF "THE POWER OF SILENCE," * 'HANDBOOK OF THE NEW THOUGHT," "THE SPIRIT OF THE NEW THOUGHT," ETC. NEW YORK THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PUBLISHERS JUL COPYRIGHT, 1919. BY THOMAS Y. CROWELL COMPANY PREFACE FOR several years there has been a demand for a history of the liberal wing of the mental-healing movement known as the "New Thought." This demand is partly due to the fact that the move- ment is now well organized, with international headquarters in Washington, D. C., hence there is a desire to bring its leading principles together and see in their in to inter- them unity ; and part est in the pioneers out of whose practice the present methods and teachings have grown. The latter interest is particularly promising since the pioneers still have a message for us. Then, too, we are more interested in these days in trac- ing the connection between the ideas which con- cern us most and the new age out of which they have sprung. We realize more and more clearly that this is indeed a new age. Hence we are in- creasingly eager to interpret the tendencies of thought which express the age at its best. In order to meet this desire for a history of the New Thought, Mr. James A. Edgerton, president of the International New Thought Alliance, decided in 1916 to undertake the work.

    Summary of Sexual Abuse Claims in Chapter 11 Cases of Boy Scouts of America There are approximately 101,135sexual abuse claims filed. Of those claims, the Tort Claimants’ Committee estimates that there are approximately 83,807 unique claims if the amended and superseded and multiple claims filed on account of the same survivor are removed. The summary of sexual abuse claims below uses the set of 83,807 of claim for purposes of claims summary below.1 The Tort Claimants’ Committee has broken down the sexual abuse claims in various categories for the purpose of disclosing where and when the sexual abuse claims arose and the identity of certain of the parties that are implicated in the alleged sexual abuse. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a chart that shows the sexual abuse claims broken down by the year in which they first arose. Please note that there approximately 10,500 claims did not provide a date for when the sexual abuse occurred. As a result, those claims have not been assigned a year in which the abuse first arose. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the state or jurisdiction in which they arose. Please note there are approximately 7,186 claims that did not provide a location of abuse. Those claims are reflected by YY or ZZ in the codes used to identify the applicable state or jurisdiction. Those claims have not been assigned a state or other jurisdiction. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a chart that shows the claims broken down by the Local Council implicated in the sexual abuse.
