Sivu 48 - It is apparent that familiarity with the English Bible as a masterpiece of literature is rapidly decreasing among the pupils in our schools. This is the direct result of a conception which regards the Bible as a theological book merely, and thereby leads to its exclusion from the schools of some states as a subject of reading and study. We hope...
Sivu 48 - The National Educational Association wishes to record its approval of the increasing appreciation among educators of the fact that the building of character is the real aim of the schools and the ultimate reason for the expenditure of millions for their maintenance.
Sivu 45 - When daisies pied and violets blue And lady-smocks all silver-white And cuckoo-buds of yellow hue Do paint the meadows with delight, The cuckoo then, on every tree, Mocks married men ; for thus sings he, Cuckoo ; Cuckoo, cuckoo...
Sivu 53 - Clang battleaxe, and clash brand! Let the King reign. The King will follow Christ, and we the King In whom high God hath breathed a secret thing. Fall battleaxe, and flash brand! Let the King reign.
Sivu 180 - ... houses — the isolation of the boy's soul, the lack of any one to listen to him, the loss of roots to hold him to his place and make him grow. This is what drives the boy into the arms of evil, and makes the street his home and the gang his family, or else drives him in upon himself, into uncommunicated imaginings and feverish desires.

Sivu 13 - The impulse to play is as natural and normal as the inclination to sleep or the desire to eat; and, when we learn its meaning, we see that it is not simply a permissible thing but a divinely ordered thing.
Sivu 208 - I said, in the course of a speech, that our business was to provide a ladder, reaching from the gutter to the university, along which every child in the three kingdoms should have the chance of climbing as far as he was fit to go.
Sivu 12 - And he went down with them, and came to Nazareth ; and he was subject unto them : and his mother kept all these * sayings in her heart. u And Jesus advanced in wisdom and • stature, and in *favor with God and men.
Sivu 204 - In spite of the stare of the wise and the world's derision, Dare travel the star-blazed road, dare follow the vision, It breaks as a hush on the soul in the wonder of Youth, And the lyrical dream of the boy is the kingly truth. The world is a vapor and only the vision is real — Yea, nothing can hold against Hell but the winged Ideal.
Sivu 181 - It is the modern story of the man whose house was empty, and precisely because it was empty there entered seven devils to keep him company. If there is one thing that a boy cannot bear, it is himself. He is by nature a gregarious animal, and if the group which nature gives him is denied, then he gives himself to any group which may solicit him. A boy, like all things in nature, abhors a vacuum ; and if his home is a vacuum of lovelessness and homelessness, then he abhors his home.
