The thing that keeps men down is not want of dexterity of the hand, but want of grasp of tho mind. Tho man digging ditches in the street handles his shovel well enough, though somewhat lazily, and muscular skill would not raise him a peg in the scale. The difference between him and his boss is purely mental. One has foresight, quickness of mental perception and action, the other not. Follow the ditcher to his home, and if there is unthrift and poverty, it is the result of the imprudence, wastefulness and general mental slackness of the master and mistress of the establishment. This is the " practical effect," and it docs not become " practical men " like Mayor Havemeyer to blind their eyes to it in a little cheap and narrow-minded detraction of " ornamental studies."But it may be said that the person with whose growth we are dealing must enter at the earliest possible moment into the bondage of the struggle for bread, else he will starve before he gets to it. To this, we say that the state is bound to protest by all the means in its power against such a condition of things. We have never ceased to admire that dogma of political economy, which reckons, as among the factors which should go to make up the price of labor, not only the laborer's food, clothing, and shelter, and something besides against sickness and old age, but also something for the support and education of his children until they reached manhood or womanhood. When labor gets less than that, it gets less than it is entitled t... ... Read more

Excerpt: St. George's School is a private, Episcopalian, coeducational boarding school in Middletown, Rhode Island, USA, just east of the city of Newport. The school was founded in 1896 by the Rev. John Byron Diman, a member of a prominent Rhode Island family. It sits on a hill overlooking the Atlantic Ocean and is known for having a beautiful campus. It is a member of the Independent School League and one of five schools collectively termed St. Grottlesex. In 1896, the Rev. John Byron Diman, founder of St. George's School, wrote in his Purposes of the School that: "The specific objectives of St. George's are to give its students the opportunity of developing to the fullest extent possible the particular gifts that are theirs and to encourage in them the desire to do so. Their immediate job after leaving the School is to handle successfully the demands of college; later it is hoped that their lives will be ones of service to the world and to God. The school's suburban campus is familiarly known as "The Hilltop", as it is located on a prominent hill just east of Newport. The campus is also known for its magnificent view of First, Second, and Third Beach (which was part of the campus during the early twentieth century). There are five boys dorms and six girls dorms. Two or three faculty members live with their families in apartments within each of the buildings. All dorm rooms are wired for telephone and internet access, and each dorm has a common room equipped with a microwave, television, and DVD player. Day Rooms Girls' Dorms Day Rooms Like most private schools in the ISL, St. George's operates on a six-day school week, meaning that classes meet on Saturday. Wednesdays and Saturdays, however, are half-days, with athletic games in the afternoons. St.... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=2402126 ... Read more
