We present these essays as representative of the efforts of ingenious, dedicated teachers everywhere, who use solii,d pedagogy and creativity to prepare student-centered activities. There is indeed something to celebrate! Late in 1990, the committee completed its review of seventy- eight papers, offered as descriptions of successful classroom practice. Shortly thereafter, I read the article, "The Best Schools in the World," in the December 2, 1991, issue of Newsweek (47-48). It seemed like serendipity that the qualities which marked these acclaimed interna- tional programs were the same qualities that had drawn us to the best reports of English classroom practices: A natural system of learning by doing rather than by reductive drill. A nurturing of learner independence and responsibility. An integration of academic disciplines or branches of disciplines that focuses on theme, meaning, or idea. A collaboration of learners. An emphasis on practicality and connection with real life. An exploitation of error for learning rather than for penalty. This conjunction of circumstances was most reassuring. It attested to something we already believedthat good English teachers do indeed know what they are doing. The evidence in these papers reveals teachers who learn from their experiencesinventing, adapting, and refining practices as they are guided by their students' responses. Even though they are not being rigidly experimental, they are applying the essence of research in developing and fine-tuning their teaching behavior and the activities they propose for their classes. In these descriptions of classroom practice, the writers provide us, of course, with the sequences, the procedures, and the materials, so that we can replicate their lessons. Then

  • A Treasure Worth Preserving
    A TREASURE WORTH PRESERVING The guest speaker at this year's [1997] Annual General Meeting, of the Latin Mass Society of England and Wales, in Westminister Cathedral Hall on 21st June was the Rev. Dr. M.P.F. Cullinan, M.A., Ph.D., S.T.B., of the Church of the Holy Trinity, Brook Green, London To say that his words were well received would be understatement indeed. To those of us who did fight 'for the noble cause in that terrible revolution', who do perhaps feel the 'weariness of the years' and temptation to despair, they bring the inexpressible joy and hope and a renewal of strength and faith. Thanks be to God, our treasure is in safe hands. We reproduce Father Cullinan's moving and inspiring address in full. OXFORD, or so its enemies say, is the home of lost causes. Next to my Oxford College, at the bottom of the garden of a neighbouring establishment, there is a beautiful garden gate. Welded shut. An ancient monument to a lost but noble cause. Very appropriate perhaps for Oxford. Once, you see, there was a revolution. The rightful Catholic order was thrown out. New ways came in. Dutchmen and Germans ruled. Heresy triumphed. The defenders of the old ways fought back but were defeated. Crushed completely by force, by progress and by weight of numbers. Within a generation or so it seemed that Catholic England was gone forever. Now merely a picturesque oddity. A reminder of a quaint and primitive past. The preserve of eccentric families and antiquarians. You would have been mad to have predicted it would return.

New England waterways were one of the best things about the region, attracting colonists with ample water to drink, water for power and water for transportation. The first colonies chose locations on the coast for commerce and travel but were mindful to ensure access to pure drinking water. Their original choices reflected their modest size. Often a clear spring or brook would be the chosen center of a new community. Water in New England before colonization New England was blessed with features that provided much help to development of early water supplies. For one thing, there were abundant natural ponds and lakes. For another thing, there was enough elevation change and transmissive soil to provide good recharge to rivers and to create springs and artesian groundwater flow.
