He advertised, and got a letter from a gen- tleman concerning a man whom we shall call John Smith. This gentleman said, “John Smith has an excellent knowledge of gardening. He can manage a kitchen garden wonderfully and he can bring an ornamental garden to perfection.” And he went on through the list of what the man could do. As the other gentleman read the letter he said, “That’s the very man for me; he can do the very things I want.” He got to the bottom of the page and turned over, and on the other side were only three words, “But he won’t.” There are men and women who could revolutionise the districts in which they live, who could turn topsy-turvy the lives of their most intimate friends, but they won’t.—The Bish- op of Chelmsford. —PUBLISHED BY THE PRINTING CLASS OF THE STONEWALL JACKSON MANUAL TRAINING AND INDUSTRIAL SCHOOL BOARD OF TRUSTEES J.

The County Board of Education will make a visit through the Mountain Creek section Thursday afternoon, June 21st, with the view of determining the advisability of building a consolidated school building in the vicinity of Palestine, Mountain Creek or Prospect section.-Albemarle News-Herald. THE PRESS ASSOCIATION AND ALEXANDER. Blowing Rock is becoming an institution in the make-up of the many at- tractive possesions of the good old North State. It requires some effort to reach that spot that tosses its head in the very sky. They have a road up to the Rock, but it lacks much yet of being an ideal road, but for a mountain road it is so much better than what we have been accustomed to that we are in- clined to give great thanks to those who brought it to its present condition. Men have tried—even the good women have tried it—to describe the in- describable scenery round and about that section of Watauga county that has come to be known as Blowing Rock. There was a fair attendance at this annual convention, but some familiar faces were most conspicuous by their absence. Business and health conditions kept them away from what is regarded one of the most delightful meetings of the Association. By the way, it was worth the trip up the mountain to hear Dr. Henry Louis Smith, president of Washington & Lee University, in his 4 THE "UPLIFT masterful address on General Lee. Though years have begun to show their work on this wonderful and charming gentleman, he is the same eloquent and forceful orator, whom North. Carolina will always claim as her own. His description and word-painting were so vivid and life-like, that one could actually see the great Confederate hero moving about doing his wonderful constructive work in the re-building of the educational structure after the War Between the States had done its worst. The Association tried its level best to persuade John B. Sherrill to continue as its president. It looked like a disposition on the part of the Association to ride a good, trusty horse to death. Notwithstanding Mr. Sherrill had fill- ed the position of Secretary and Treasurer of the organization for thirty- two consecutive years and the office of president for two terms, it pressed on him another election. He declined, giving such reasons that appealed to the Association., Upon his declination, the presidency went to Hon. Chas. A. Webb, one of the owners of the Asheville Citizen, who received the unamious vote of the Association. Webb is active and he will go about filling this office as if his bread and meat depended on his preformance. Miss Beatrice Cobb, of the Morganton News-Herald, one of the finest and ablest newspapers fellows in the whole gang, was re-elected secretary and treasurer. Miss Cobb takes her duties seriously and the affairs of the As- sociation will continue to have intelligent care. Editor Honeycutt, of Morrow Mountain fame, and the able editor of the Albemarle News-Herald, was made vice president. He is a subject, and a good one, for the lightening when the time rolls around. The committee on resolutions, composed of Mrs. W. N. Hutt, A. C. Honey- cutt and THE UPLIFT representative, taking into account everybody and everything that conspired to the pleasure of the Association, was called out by toast-master Carey Dowd, of the Charlotte News, for ignoring Savory’s incense pot, ‘which he brought doAvn with him from New York hoping to get the editors excited over the thing.. The Committee on Resolutions refused to be stampeded, and this was the only thing left out the chapter of fine things. The Association will hold its Mid-Winter meeting at Pinehurst, having had cordial invitations from that place and Charlotte and Raleigh. The creation of Mayview Manor, where the editors held this • meeting, is the happy fruition of a large dream. Mr. Alexander, a Charlotte man, has seen big things big and he came in for most hearty congratulations for his enterprise and his accomplishments. Elsewhere in this number we carry a short description of this wonderful spot by Mr. Jas. A. Robinson. THE UPLIFT 5 MILLION-DOLL AR GIRLS. In the most admirable Education Special issued by the Progressive Farmer, last week, was a picture that told a story that touches the heart of all on speaking acquaintance with human kindness and enjoy in the smallest de- gree a sense of official obligation and responsibility. The picture was that of a dilapidated shack of a house; a small, poorly clad girl standing in front; and drawing up to take her on was a school-truck. Under the cut Editor Poe made this comment. A three-thousand-dollar school bus, ,stopping in front of a two-hundred- dollar farm home to pick up a million-dollar girl and take her to a hundred- thousand dollar consolidated school. The motor truck and consolidated ; schools are giving this little girl in her remote country home educational facilities equal to any afforded the children of the cities. Break the news gently to the school officials of Cabarrus county, which en- joy the services of a superintendent who “ stands high among the educators of the state and knows his county and people,” that there are million dollar girls and million dollar boys out in the hills of Cabarrus county, who are educationally perishing for an adequate chance. “Knowing the county and the people” can Judge Buxton Robertson doubt that the county is full of just such boys and girls as Editor Poe has so well described and who have a right to look to him and his board for an intelligent and progressive adminis- tration of the school affairs of the county? * ❖ * ❖ ❖ * * “CONSOLIDATION AND TRANSPORTATION” THE MODERN MOTTO. The issue of the Progressive Farmer of date of June 23 is the greatest paper that has been issued in the state for months. It is a special under the title of “Education Special.” It is all that it claims to be. It should be in the hands of every school official of the state. Among other things of information and inspiration we find this: The rapid progress made in the consolidation of schools in the South in recent years shows that the one room, one-teacher school has failed to give country boys and girls the kind of education they need today. Everywhere small schools are uniting to form bigger and better schools. Many counties in the South today are proud of the fact that a high school education is within the reach of every boy and girl in the county. Louisi- ana has 1,100 consolidated schools, Mississippi 770, Texas 757, and Ala- bama 306. Five years ago Alabama had twenty consolidated schools with 4,000 pupils enrolled while today she has 306 such schools with 52,- 728 pupils enrolled. Five years ago Mississippi had 290 consolidated high schools with over 30,000 enrolled; today she has 757 schools. 6 THE PPLIFT The transportation of pupils to and from schools, which is always a problem involved in consolidation, is being handled successfully, accord- ing to reports from the different states.

Each state‘s relative share of these programs is described. The geographic themes, patterns, and images from these programs are analyzed, with an emphasis on identity in five American regions: the Mid-Atlantic, New England, the Midwest, the South, and the West. The dissertation concludes with a comparison of television‘s senses of place to those described in previous studies of regional identity. iii For Sue iv CONTENTS List of Tables vi Acknowledgments vii 1.

Horowitz · Terence O' Donne 11 ~ The period of 1919 to 1939 was a significant one for the development of the literature of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest. The literary work produced in the region prior to the first world war was greatly influenced by the "Genteel tradition" of the late nineteenth century. By 1939, however, the literature of Oregon and the region had emerged from the outdated literary standards of the pre-war 2 period and had found a new, realistic, natural voice, strongly regional in nature and rooted in the modern American tradition.

Introduction Does the end ever justify the means? This question confronts and haunts the student of modem terrorism and revolution. In the first part of this century, Mahatma Gandhi, leading India in a non- violent struggle against British imperial rule, argued eloquently that violent means are never justifiable, no matter how noble the end. He convinced Indians to struggle for independence non-violently on the basis that "[t]ruth never damages a cause that is just."1 Leading this unique revolution, Gandhi provided a moral founda- * The author holds a law degree with Honors from the University of London (England) and teaches History and Human Rights at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada.

  • This Book — the Only History of Friendship in Classical Antiquity That Exists in English
    This book — the only history of friendship in classical antiquity that exists in English - examines the nature of friendship in ancient Greece and Rome from Homer (eighth century BC) to the Christian Roman Empire of the fourth century AD. Although friendship is throughout this period conceived of as a voluntary and loving relationship (contrary to the prevailing view among scholars), there are major shifts in emphasis from the bonding among warriors in epic poetry, to the egalitarian ties characteristic of the Athenian democracy, the status-con- scious connections in Rome and the Hellenistic kingdoms, and the commitment to a universal love among Christian writers. Friendship is also examined in relation to erotic love and comradeship, as well as for its role in politics and economic life, in philosophical and religious communities, in connection with patronage and the private counsellors of kings, and in respect to women; its relation to modern friendship is fully discussed.
