The lesson focuses on November 23, 1923, the eve of the fifth anniversary of the Armistice that concluded World War I, when a frail and ill Wilson was ready to deliver a commemorative address by radio from the library of his brick home on S Street in Washington, DC. The lesson could be used in teaching units on foreign policy, peace education, presidential history, or the history of World War I. The lesson objectives are to: articulate the ideals of world peace and world order that Wilson espoused; describe the conflict between Wilson's ideals and the Senate's policy of isolationism; and explain why the ideals of a visionary like Wilson are significant in forming the policies of the government.

  • Woodrow Wilson from Wikiquote
    Woodrow Wilson From Wikiquote Sometimes people call me an idealist. Well, that is the way I know I am an American. Dr. Thomas Woodrow Wilson (28 December 1856 – 3 February 1924) was the 45th state Governor of New Jersey (1911–1913) and later the 28th President of the United States (1913–1921). He was the second Democrat to serve two consecutive terms in the White House, after Andrew Jackson. Contents • 1 Sourced • 1.1 The New Freedom (1913) • 1.2 Address to Congress on War (1917) • 1.3 The Fourteen Points Speech (1918) • 2 Misattributed • 3 Quotes about Wilson • 4 External links Sourced Power consists in one's capacity to link his will with the purpose of others, to lead by reason and a gift of cooperation. The history of liberty is a history of resistance. The history of liberty is a history of the limitation of governmental power, not the increase of it. No nation is fit to sit in judgment upon any other nation. • It has never been natural, it has seldom been possible, in this country for learning to seek a place apart and hold aloof from affairs. It is only when society is old, long settled to its ways, confident in habit, and without self-questioning upon any vital point of conduct, that study can affect seclusion and despise the passing interests of the day. • "Princeton In The Nation's Service" (21 October 1896) • The object of education is not merely to draw out the powers of the individual mind: it is rather its right object to draw all minds to a proper adjustment to the physical and social world in which they are to have their life and their development: to enlighten, strengthen and make fit.

  • July / August / September 2013 Vol. 49, No. 2
    July / August / September 2013 Vol. 49, No. 2 FROM THE DESK OF THE STATE LIBRARIAN.....In June, the first group of New Hampshire libraries began their migration to a nhaisLOCAL automation system. nhaisLOCAL is a program established by the State Library in response to the need for good integrated library systems at a reasonable price. nhaisLOCAL uses open source automation software called KOHA, which was developed in New Zealand in 2000. With the assistance of a service provider, ByWater Solutions, the State Library's NHAIS Services Section helped the public libraries in Colebrook, Danville, Litchfield, Lyndeborough, Tuftonboro and Warner to move to an open source ILS. Over three days in June at the Hooksett Public Library, thirty people from this first group of libraries trained on the new system and developed their policies for the nhaisLOCAL KOHA system. The libraries went live with the new ILS in July. The group has embraced the new system, and although there have been some fits and starts during the transition, I have heard that the libraries are glad they made the move to a more robust system that has by its nature the ability to meet the needs of their libraries. Currently, about 15 librar- ies in New Hampshire have chosen open source software for their most recent ILS acquisition. Although the majority of systems in place in New Hampshire public libraries are in fact proprietary and work well for those li- braries, the goal of the nhaisLOCAL project is to provide another avenue for libraries that may not want to use proprietary software or are just interested in the open source concept.

  • Memory and History in the Cityscapes in Poland:The Search for Meaning Izabella Main
    Memory and History in the Cityscapes in Poland:The Search for Meaning Izabella Main IWM Junior Visiting Fellows’ Conference Proceedings, Vol. XVII © 2005 by the author Readers may redistribute this article to other individuals for noncommercial use, provided that the text and this note remain intact. This article may not be reprinted or redistributed for commercial use without prior written permission from the author. If you have any questions about permissions, please contact the IWM. In the 1980s many monuments became important sites for contesting the communist regime in Poland. While national monuments became sites of illegal gatherings, communist monuments were overtly criticized and sometimes devastated or vandalized. The opposition demanded permission to build monuments commemorating the “forgotten” heroes and victims of communist repression, and these new monuments inspired hope for political change. Yet after 1989, monuments ceased to attract attention or evoke strong emotions from the populace. During the transition period new tensions and conflicts appeared, and both the Polish political scene and society became more divided, voicing different needs for monuments. Monuments, previously serving mainly as sites of political rituals, were seen as a part of local and national heritage – important to both inhabitants and visitors for self-presentation of the cities. This essay addresses three major issues, approaching these monuments from both an historical and an anthropological perspective. First, I will describe the monument landscape in three major cities – Kraków, Pozna?, and Lublin. My intention is not to describe in detail all of the monuments in the three studied cities – in Pozna? alone there are more than 90 monuments, 16 commemorative stones, and a few hundred commemorative plaques; and Kraków has approximately 100 monuments, 5 mounds, and about 60 commemorative plates[1] – but to analyze the most important monuments in terms of the message, location, and social attitudes toward each one.

  • Copyright By- David Henry Jennings
    Copyright by- David Henry Jennings 1959 PRESIDENT WILSON'S TOUR IN SEPTEMBER, 1919: A STUDY OF FORCES OPERATING DURING THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS FIGHT DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University t By DAVID HENRY JENNINGS, B. A ., A. M. ****** The Ohio State University 1958 Approved by A dviser Department of History PREFACE In view of the many articles and books occasioned by the recent Wilson Centennial and the current in te re st in American foreign policy, it is, indeed, surprising to note that no full length study of Wilson's transcontinental tour of September, 1919 exists. Present publication on the western trip is confined to individual chapters of longer works and b rief general essays.^ A communication from Arthur S. Link indicates that this topic w ill not receive extended coverage in his future volumes on Woodrow Wilson. The status of research indicates the need for a more complete account of the "Swing Around the Circle" than has hitherto been presented. It is hoped that this dissertation meets this need. The other major contribution of this thesis lies in the field of evaluation. The analysis of Wilson's "New Order" attempts to make a significant clarifi­ cation and synthesis in a relatively neglected area. The study, also, endeavors to identify the forces at work and appraise their effect on the League of Nations debate in September, 1919. Because present day opinion inclines toward the view that the transcontinental tour was a mistake, extended examination is undertaken to see why Wilson should have gone on the trip and why the tour failed.
