# The New Student's Reference Work/Education, History of

See also History of education on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Education, History of. A liberal professional preparation for teaching is hardly possible without a comparative study of educational progress as shown in past and present educational systems. It may take either of two general forms: that of education as a whole or that of formal pedagogy in particular. If the former, the field includes a history of the growth of all branches of learning and of the various institutions of civilization in general; if the latter, it is limited to the development of educational doctrine and the growth of systems and methods. There are commonly recognized five great epochs in educational history: the Oriental, the Classical, Christian before the Reformation, the Reformation and the Modern Epoch. Each epoch is rich in instructive material, throwing light upon nearly every problem which the teacher meets and helping him to a more comprehensive view of the methods by which they may be solved.
The following are among the most commonly used texts on this subject: Compayre, Painter, Seeley and Williams. See also Boone's Education in the United States, Swett's American Public Schools, Klem's European Schools, Quick's Educational Reformers, Laurie's Rise and Early Constitution of Universities, Lang's Great Teachers of Four Centuries and the histories of education in the different states of the Union, published by the bureau of education. Among these texts one of the oldest and perhaps the most interesting is Quick's Educational Reformers. A more recent and comprehensive work is Paul Monroe's History of Education. This is a volume of nearly 800 pages, and is an extremely valuable work. The substance of this is now available, also, in a volume of a little over half the size, suitable for beginning students. The title is A Brief Course in the History of Education.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Education, State-Aid in

See also Education in the United States on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Education, State-Aid in. In the United States, education is one of the matters which falls within the control of the several states, and not of the Federal government. The result of the power lodged in the states is that they tend to give aid in money and land to the schools; while, in return, their control over the schools increases, and the educational system in this way becomes more uniform. Thirty of the states make the education of children compulsory for an average term of five years. Most cities have their own superintendents of public instruction, and their own school-systems under a charter from the state. Each state, however, has a superintendent of public instruction who is given this title in 29 of the states, other titles in others. One of the benefits of state-control in education is that the more prosperous sections help to improve the schools of less prosperous places. The state generally supports normal schools for the training of teachers. In the west and south the states go so far as to support universities, which is done nowhere else in the world to anything like the same extent. Secondary education often receives special attention from the state. Massachusetts requires the townships to maintain secondary schools. The University of the State of New York, however, is the best example of how the state may organize secondary education. The regents examine the high-schools, and allot vast sums in their aid. In Indiana, Minnesota and other western states the state-board of education accredits high-schools, which may then send their graduates direct to the state-university without examination. Each state admitted to the Union since 1800 has ceded land for a state-university and for common-schools. In 1836 many of the states distributed the surplus revenue that was returned to them by Congress wholly or partly among the schools. Of the land-grants for education made by the states, the chief is the 16th section of each township and, in states admitted since 1848, the 36th section also. In all, the states have granted about 68,000,000 acres of land; and to this they have added vast grants also in money.

Ein' Feste Burg. Hymn by Martin Luther, first published in 1538. The words are a revision of Psalm 46. Both words and music have been changed for the sake of greater conformity to the spirit of modern ideas. The composers Bach, Mendelssohn, Nicolai, Raff, Wagner and Meyerbeer have all employed this stirring choral in various vocal and instrumental compositions.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Egbert

See also Egbert of Wessex on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Egbert, king of Wessex, ascended the throne of that country in 802. England at that time was divided into the three kingdoms of Northumbria, Mercia and Wessex. After a struggle with the Mercians, Egbert was recognized as overlord of that kingdom, and not long after Northumbria also accepted him as its overlord. Thus he became the first real king of England, although he did not formally assume that title, and continued to govern Mercia by means of its own king. He died in 837.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Edward V

See also Edward V of England on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Edward V, son of the preceding, was born in 1470. At the death of his father he was a boy of 13. His uncle, Richard of Gloucester, managed to get himself appointed protector of the kingdom, and shut up the young Edward and his little brother in the Tower. They were never heard of again, but there is much doubt that they were murdered by the order of their uncle, who had himself crowned king in the same year. (Later historians charge Henry VII with these murders). Nearly 200 years later some bones were found in an old chest and, being supposed to be the remains of the unfortunate princes, were buried in Westminster Abbey.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Edmunds, George Franklin

See also George F. Edmunds on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
Edmunds, George Franklin, an American statesman, was born at Richmond, Vermont, Feb. 1, 1828. He was admitted to the bar in 1849, and sat in the state legislature from 1854 to 1859 and in the state senate from 1861 to 1862. In 1866 he was elected to the senate of the United States, where he served on many important committees, and was president pro tempore after Mr. Arthur became president. He took an active part in the prosecution of President Johnson, and was one of the electoral commissioners appointed in 1877 to decide upon questions connected with the counting of the electoral vote of the disputed presidential election of the previous year. He was the author of the acts of 1882 and 1887 for the suppression of polygamy in Utah. In 1891 he withdrew from political life. He is noted for legal knowledge and great parliamentary skill.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Edward

See also Edward the Confessor on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Ed′ward, surnamed the Confessor, the last Anglo-Saxon king of the old royal line, was the elder son of Ethelred the Unready. On the deaths of Ethelred and Edmund Ironside, in 1016, Canute obtained possession of the throne and married the wife of Ethelred. Until Canute's death, in 1035, Edward lived in Normandy, but in 1042 he succeeded his half-brother, Hardicanute, as king. He was continually under the influence of favorites, who usually were foreigners; and the history of his reign is a record of the struggle between the Norman or court party and the old Anglo-Saxon party under Earl Godwin and his son Harold. Edward also carried on wars with the Welsh. He died on Jan. 5, 1066. He was canonized in 1161 by Pope Alexander III. With him the old English monarchy perished, save for the few months of the energetic rule of his successor, Harold II.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Edom

See also Edom on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​E'dom or Idumea, a name given to the whole country extending from the Dead Sea southward to the Gulf of Akabah. It was about 100 miles long from north to south. The mountains are steep, bare masses of chalk and porphyry. The Edomites were recognized by the Israelites as a closely connected race, being the descendants of Esau, the brother of Jacob. Their religion was a belief in many gods. They were conquered by Saul and subdued by David, and were subject to Judah until the reign of Joram. They regained independence under Ahaz, and after the fall of Judah became masters of southern Palestine and Hebron, but were completely subdued about 126 B. C. From that time the western part (Idumea) was held by Jewish governors, one of whom, Antipater, became procurator of all Judæa in 47 B. C. His son, Herod the Great, founded the last Jewish dynasty. After the destruction of Jerusalem (70 A. D.) the country was merged in Arabia Petræa, and the name of Idumea disappears from history. See The Desert of the Exodus by Palmer.
# The New Student's Reference Work/El Dorado

See also El Dorado on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​El Dorado (ĕl′dō̇-rä′dō̇), meaning the golden or gilded land, was a country supposed by the Spanish discoverers of America to exist somewhere in the New World. Their imaginations were fed by stories of the natives, and after the voyage of Orellaña down the Amazon in 1540 the report was greatly enlarged, and the locality of the fabulous region was placed near the headwaters of the Orinoco. Many a soldier of fortune perished in the search for it, and many a troop of adventurers came back with only a small part of their original number, before the city of gold was reluctantly looked upon as a fable of greedy minds, which liked to dream of greater rewards than the riches of Mexico and Peru. The most famous expeditions were those of Philip von Hutten and of Sir Walter Raleigh; a subsequent quest was that of Antonio Santos as late as 1780. See Von Langegg's El Dorado.
# The Matrimonial Stakes

I wooed her with a steeplechase, I won her with a fall, I made her heartstrings quiver on the flat When the pony missed his take-off, and we crached into the wall; Well, she simply had to have me after that!
It awoke a thrill of int'rest when they pulled me out for dead From beneath the shattered ruins of a horse; And althought she looked indifferent when I landed -- on my head -- In the water, it appealed to her, of course!
When I won the Flappers' Flatrace it was "all Sir Garneo", For she praised the way I made my final run. And she thought the riding won it -- for how could the poor girl know That a monkey could have ridden it and won!
Then they "weighed me in" a winner -- it's not often that occurs! So I didn't let my golden chances slip, For I showed her all the blood-marks where I jabbed him with the spurs, And the whip-strokes where I hit him with the whip.
Then I asked her if she loved me, and she seemed inclined to shirk For a moment so I took her by the head (So to speak) and rushed her at it; and she seemed to like the work When she kissed me, though she blushed a rosy red.
She's a mouth as soft as velvet, and she plenty has of heart, I could worship every little step she takes; And the saddleng-bell is ringing, so we're going to the start, Certain winners of the Matrimonial Stakes!

# The Man with the Hoe, and Other Poems (Markham, Pyle, 1900)/The Butterfly

The Butterfly
O wingèd brother on the harebell, stay— Was God's hand very pitiful, the hand That wrought thy beauty at a dream's demand? Yea, knowing I love so well the flowery way, He did not fling me to the world astray— He did not drop me to the weary sand, But bore me gently to a leafy land: Tinting my wings, He gave me to the day.
Oh, chide no more my doubting, my despair! I will go back now to the world of men. Farewell, I leave thee to the world of air, Yet thou hast girded up my heart again; For He that framed the impenetrable plan, And keeps His word with thee, will keep with man.
# The Man with the Hoe, and Other Poems (Markham, Pyle, 1900)/Song to the Divine Mother

Song to the Divine Mother
Come, Mighty Mother, from the bright abode, Lift the low heavens and hush the Earth again; Come when the moon throws down a shining road Across the sea—come back to weary men.
​But if the moon throws out across the sea Too dim a light, too wavering a way, Come when the sunset paves a path for Thee Across the waters fading into gray.
Dead nations saw Thee dimly in release— In Aphrodite rising from the foam: Some glimmer of Thy beauty was on Greece, Some trembling of Thy passion was on Rome.
Come down, O Mother, to the helpless land, That we may frame our Freedom into Fate: Come down, and on the throne of nations stand, That we may build Thy beauty in the State.
Come shining in upon our daily road, Uphold the hero heart and light the mind; Quicken the strong to lift the People's load, And bring back buried justice to mankind.
Shine through the frame of nations for a light, Move through the hearts of heroes in a song: It is Thy beauty, wilder than the night, That hushed the heavens and keeps the high gods strong.
​I know, Supernal Woman, Thou dost seek No song of man, no worship and no praise; But Thou wouldst have dead lips begin to speak, And dead feet rise to walk immortal ways.
Yet listen, Mighty Mother, to the child Who has no voice but song to tell his grief— Nothing but tears and broken numbers wild, Nothing but woodland music for relief.
His song is but a little broken cry, Less than the whisper of a river reed; Yet thou canst hear in it the souls that die— Feel in its pain the vastness of our need.
I would not break the mouth of song to tell My life's long passion and my heart's long grief, But Thou canst hear the ocean in one shell, And see the whole world's winter in one leaf.
So here I stand at the world's weary feet, And cry the sorrow of the world's dumb years: I cry because I hear the world's heart beat, Weary of hope and broken through by tears.
​For ages Thou hast breathed upon mankind A faint wild tenderness, a vague desire; For ages stilled the whirlwinds of the mind, And sent on lyric seers the rush of fire.
Some day our homeless cries will draw Thee down, And the old brightness on the ways of men Will send a hush upon the jangling town, And broken hearts will learn to love again.
Come, Bride of God, to fill the vacant Throne, Touch the dim Earth again with sacred feet; Come build the Holy City of white stone, And let the whole world's gladness be complete.
Come with the face that hushed the heavens of old— Come with Thy maidens in a mist of light; Haste, for the night falls and the shadows fold, And voices cry and wander on the height.
# The Man with the Hoe, and Other Poems (Markham, Pyle, 1900)/The Cricket

The Cricket
The twilight is the morning of his day, While sleep drops seaward from the fading shore, With purpling sail and dip of silver oar, He cheers the shadowed time with roundelay, Until the dark east softens into gray. Now as the noisy hours are coming—hark! His song dies gently—it is growing dark— His night, with its one star, is on the way!
Faintly the light breaks over the blowing oats— Sleep, little brother, sleep: I am astir. We worship Song, and servants are of her— I in the bright hours, thou in shadow-time; Lead thou the starlit night with merry notes, And I will lead the clamoring day with rhyme.
# The Man with the Hoe, and Other Poems (Markham, Pyle, 1900)/One Life, One Law

One Life, One Law
What do we know—what need we know Of the great world to which we go? We peer into the tomb, and hark: Its walls are dim, its doors are dark.
Be still, O mourning heart, nor seek To make the tongueless silence speak: Be still, be strong, nor wish to find Their way who leave the world behind— Voices and forms forever gone Into the darkness of the dawn.
What is their wisdom, clear and deep? That as men sow they surely reap,— That every thought, that every deed, Is sown into the soul for seed. They have no word we do not know,— Nor yet the cherubim aglow With God: we know that virtue saves,— They know no more beyond the graves.
# The Man with the Hoe, and Other Poems (Markham, Pyle, 1900)/Shepherd Boy and Nereid

Shepherd Boy and Nereid
Ah, once of old in some forgotten tongue, Forgotten land, I was a shepherd boy, And you a Nereid, a wingèd joy: On through the dawn-bright peaks our bodies swung And flower-soft lyrics by immortals sung Fell from their unseen pinnacles in air: God looked from Heaven that hour, for you were fair, And I a poet, and the star was young.
​You'd heard my woodland pipe and left the sea— Your hair blown gold and all your body white— Had left the ocean-girls to follow me. We joined the hill-nymphs in their joyous flight, And you laughed lightly to the sea, and sent Quick glances flashing through me as I went.
# The Man with the Hoe, and Other Poems (Markham, Pyle, 1900)/Song of the Followers of Pan

Song of the Followers of Pan
Our bursting bugles blow apart The gates of cities as we go; We bring the music of the heart From secret wells in Lillimo'.
We break in music on the morns— Sing of the flower to stirring roots; Apollo's cry is in the horns, And Hermes' whisper in the flutes.
We come with laughter to the Earth, And lightly stir the heading wheat: Our God is Poesy and Mirth, And loves the noise of woodland feet.
When dancers beat the air to sound, After the time of yellow sheaves, He stops to watch the merry round, His pleased face looking through the leaves.
# The Man with the Hoe, and Other Poems (Markham, Pyle, 1900)/Poetry

Poetry
She comes like the hush and beauty of the night, And sees too deep for laughter; Her touch is a vibration and a light From worlds before and after.
# The Man with the Hoe, and Other Poems (Markham, Pyle, 1900)/Song Made Flesh

Song Made Flesh
I have no glory in these songs of mine: If one of them can make a brother strong, It came down from the peaks of the divine— I heard it in the Heaven of Lyric Song.
The one who builds the poem into fact, He is the rightful owner of it all: The pale words are with God's own power packed When brave souls answer to their bugle-call.
And so I ask no man to praise my song, But I would have him build it in his soul; For that great praise would make me glad and strong, And build the poem to a perfect whole.
# The Man with the Hoe, and Other Poems (Markham, Pyle, 1900)/The Climb of Life

The Climb of Life
There's a feel of all things flowing, And no power of Earth can bind them; There's a sense of all things growing, And through all their forms a-glowing Of the shaping souls behind them.
And the break of beauty heightens With the swiftening of the motion, And the soul behind it lightens, As a gleam of splendor whitens From a running wave of ocean.
​See the still hand of the Shaper, Moving in the dusk of being: Burns at first a misty taper, Like the moon in veil of vapor, When the rack of night is fleeing.
In the stone a dream is sleeping, Just a tinge of life, a tremor; In the tree a soul is creeping— Last, a rush of angels sweeping With the skies beyond the dreamer.
So the Lord of Life is flinging Out a splendor that conceals Him: And the God is softly singing, And on secret ways is winging, Till the rush of song reveals Him.

# The Modern Review/Volume 38/Number 2/The Mysore Civil Service Without the Steel Frame

The Mysore Civil Service Without “The Steel Frame”
Mr. W. P. Barton, retiring British Resident in Mysore, said at the state banquet given to him by the Maharaja:—
’I take this opportunity of paying a tribute of esteem to the Mysore Civil Service. It is inspired throughout by His Highness’s example and ideals of service. Its esprit de corps and its traditions would do credit to any service in the world. Speaking as an Englishman, I am proud that one of their ideals has been to maintain the standard of the British Commission from which they took over responsibility 44 years ago. They have loyally supported the policy of the Mysore Government in associating the people of the State more closely with the administration. The success of representative institutions depends very largely on an efficient Civil Service and I think the people of Mysore may safely rely on their Civil Service to help them in the path of progress.’
As the Mysore Civil Service has been so highly praised by a British officer of high ​rank, though it is not held together and stiffened by a British element constituting the “steel frame”, it is difficult to see why in British-ruled India, the steel frame should be considered indispensable. Mysoreans are not different from their brethren in British-ruled India, nor have they been under British training longer than the latter.
