A most likely beginning point seemed to be a life of the ’’founder" of Union Theological Seminary, Dr. John Holt Rice, whose definitive biography remains to be written. The short account of Dr. Rice's life which occurs in William Maxwell's A Memoir of the Rev. John H. Rice. D.D., and the more specific account of this notable man which occurs in Foote's Sketches of Virginia (2nd Series) together with brief appreciations which have appeared from time to time, constitute a very inadequate portrait of one of the greatest men of the Presbyterian Church in America. The series of Historical Transcripts projected by the Library was envisioned as a sequence of pamphlets of some 40-50 pages each. Upon examination of the extensive account of Dr. Rice prepared by the Rev. Philip B. Price which appeared in successive issues of the Central Presbyterian in 1886-87, it soon became quite apparent that no 48-page pamphlet could be successfully edited out of so voluminous a record without doing violence to the narrative and losing much interesting, and sometimes significant, material which actually has little to do with the course of Dr. Rice's life and labors. It was resolved, therefore, to attempt to reproduce this document economic¬ ally in its full dimensions without altering phrasing, correcting spelling or punctuation, or changing in any way the work as it ap¬ peared in the Central Presbyterian, other than by correcting occa¬ sional obvious typographical errors. The work has been produced by the staff of the Library during the vacation period, assisted by three members of the Seminary's clerical staff. To all of those who labored with such sustained zeal and close attention to bring out this work, while carrying on a full round of regular library routines or other duties, we offer here our hearty thanks and appreciation. It is much to be hoped that this verbose, euologistic, and some¬ times, irrelevant, record of Dr. Rice's work may encourage some research scholar to undertake the elaborate study and investigation which a full-length biography of the Seminary's founder richly deserves.

Philip B, Price was not originally trained for the ministry but for business, in which he engaged for the first years of his adult life, studying privately to prepare himself to preach the gospel. During the period of his business life he was, for many years, a Ruling Elder of the Third Presbyterian Church of Richmond. His ecclesiastical career is set forth in detail in the following obituary which appeared in the Central Presbyterian of March, 15, 1905. Because the language employed here so nearly matches that of the author in rendering his account of the life of John Holt Rice, we take the liberty of reproducing it in its entirety. This venerable brother, so long and well known throughout the Synod of Virginia, entered into rest on last Thursday morning, just after mid¬ night, March 9, 1905, at his home in Richmond. He came of an old family of Hanover county, and - •- was related to a number of the most notable families of that old section of Virginia. He was the son of John Marshall Price and Mrs, Elizabeth Mosby Price, and was born August 9, 1822, so that at his death he was in his eighty- third year. He was ordained in 1859 by the Presbytery of East Hanover, and had pastorates in the Third Church, Richmond, and in the High Bridge, Buchanan and Carmel churches in Mont¬ gomery Presbytery, in all of which his ministry was fruitful, and where to his last days he was most affectionately remembered and held in high esteem. He was a skillful clerk, and at differ¬ ent times was the Stated Clerk of East Hanover and of Montgomery Presbyteries. He was at one time, immediately- following the war period, as¬ sociated with Dr. William Brown in the conduct of the Central Presbyterian, and was for many years a frequent contributor to the press, both secular and religious. A few years ago Mr. Price returned to Richmond, and with much fidelity and acceptability supplied the Presbyterian church at Chester. Throughout his fourscore years, forty- six of which were given to the Christian ministry, he was an upright Christian gentleman and a useful servant of Christ. Of the six children whom he left, the eldest is the Rev, P. Frank Price, one of our valuable and beloved missionaries in the foreign field, and now laboring at Hashing, China. The funeral was attended by the ministers of Rich¬ mond and a large assembly of relatives and friends, and was conducted by the Rev, Dr. McFaden and Dr. Witherspoon on Saturday afternoon, the 11th instant, in the First Church, Richmond, and the burial in Hollywood by Dr, Stewart and Dr. Smith. •.1* ■ i’ ' . i;': .. uj'i ; : • . f : C ■' • . : 1 . r : •• £ "■ -5 ' * • r *. i; ,* . ~m • o r? f " •• > ! b /' ' :■ - , , : • \. wij ’ a 1 '■ ■ r!) i h': * ‘ i\£ ■ . ... ■■ l : . .. • •• •' :• . •. •. r ■ . / ,o_ •• • • ;•;/< ;• or o- • ' ‘ . ;c o • ■. j ,i ■ . : . *; I ,C .. \ ■ .

Hooper, writing an appreciation of Philip B, Price for the Synod of Virginia concluded his account with the fol¬ lowing sentences: Modest and unassuming, he was always kind and cordial in his greeting. Loving peace, he was ready to defend the truth when duty demanded it. Genial and kind-hearted, no one could doubt his courage in contending for the right as he regarded it. Patient and gentle as a woman, there was a manliness in his make-up, which would have made him a martyr in the days of persecution. Chosen in the furnace of af¬ fliction, the dross was consumed, and the gold refined. Dr. Price’s direct descendants include two great missionary statesmen, father and son, who later became Moderators of the Presbyterian Church in the U.S., the Rev. Dr. P, Frank Price and the Rev, Dr. Frank Wilson Price. , ■ .

  • How Children Fail by John Holt, Penguin Education Foreword Most
    How Children Fail By John Holt, Penguin Education Foreword Most children in school fail. For a great many, this failure is avowed and absolute. Close to forty percent of those who begin high school, drop out before they finish. For college, the figure is one in three. Many others fail in fact if not in name. They complete their schooling only because we have agreed to push them up through the grades and out of the schools, whether they know anything or not. There are many more such children than we think. If we "raise our standards" much higher, as some would have us do, we will find out very soon just how many there are. Our classrooms will bulge with kids who can't pass the test to get into the next class. But there is a more important sense in which almost all children fail: Except for a handful, who may or may not be good students, they fail to develop more than a tiny part of the tremendous capacity for learning, understanding, and creating with which they were born and of which they made full use during, the first two or three years of their lives. Why do they fail? They fail because they are afraid, bored, and confused. They are afraid, above all else, of failing, of disappointing or displeasing the many anxious adults around them, whose limitless hopes and expectations for them hang over their heads like a cloud. They are bored because the things they are given and told to do in school are so trivial, so dull, and make such limited and narrow demands on the wide spectrum of their intelligence, capabilities, and talents.

  • THE LIFE of JOHN HOLT Arvind Gupta There Is Hardly a Teacher In
    THE LIFE OF JOHN HOLT Arvind Gupta There is hardly a teacher in America who would not know John Holt’s name. His first book How Children Fail sounded an alarm for the modern school system and helped launch the educational reform movement. John Holt talked little about his own education. He wrote a dozen books on education which honed the sensitivities of two generations of teachers and parents. He was a very keen observer of children and whatever he saw happen in the classroom he would write in his diary. It is the collation of these memos which constituted his first book How Children Fail . He wrote: Most children in school fail. They fail because they are Afraid (A), Bored (B) and Confused (C). They are afraid above all else of failing, of disappointing or displeasing the many anxious adults around them, whose limitless hopes and aspirations for them hang over their heads like a cloud. They are bored because the things they are told to do in school are so trivial, so dull and make limited demands on the wide spectrum of their intelligence, capabilities and talents. They are confused because most of the torrent of words that pour over them in school makes little or no sense. It often flatly contradicts other things they have been told, and hardly ever has any relation to what they really know – to the tough model of reality that they carry in their minds. How Children Fail became an educational best seller. Twenty years back it was translated and published in Hindi by Eklavya – a group based in Madhya Pradesh and working for educational reforms.

    MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Matthew David Smith Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy ____________________________________________ Director Dr. Carla Gardina Pestana _____________________________________________ Reader Dr. Andrew R.L. Cayton _____________________________________________ Reader Dr. Mary Kupiec Cayton ____________________________________________ Reader Dr. Katharine Gillespie ____________________________________________ Dr. Peter Williams Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT "IN THE LAND OF CANAAN:" RELIGIOUS REVIVAL AND REPUBLICAN POLITICS IN EARLY KENTUCKY by Matthew Smith Against the tumult of the American Revolution, the first white settlers in the Ohio Valley imported their religious worldviews and experiences from a colonial past to their unfamiliar new surroundings. Within a generation, they witnessed the Great Revival (circa 1797-1805), a dramatic mass revelation of religion, converting thousands of worshipers to spiritual rebirth while transforming the region's cultural identity. This study focuses on the lives and careers of three prominent Kentucky settlers: Christian revivalists James McGready and Barton Warren Stone, and pioneering newspaper editor John Bradford. All three men occupy points on a religious spectrum, ranging from the secular public faith of civil religion, to the apocalyptic sectarianism of the Great Revival, yet they also overlap in unexpected ways.
