Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from State of West Virginia Department of Schools: Program for Lincoln Day, and Suggestions for the Observance of the Birthdays of Other Eminent Men While this pamphlet is issued with special reference to the celebration of the hundredth anniversary of Lincoln´s birth, in the schools of West Virginia, I have included in it some brief sketches and references to other of the world´s benefactors whoso centenary also occurs this year. It is noticeable that a number of those who have been great leaders of thought and action were bom In 1809. In this list appear the names of Lincoln, Gladstone, Darwin, Tennyson, Holmes, Poe, Chopin, Mendelssohn, ail of whom In one way or other have added to the record of great achievements. Of course we will give prominence to the celebration of Lincoln´s birthday on February twelfth, but it will not be out of place, as other birthdays occur within the year, to note the life and character of these men who have contributed to the art. the science, the history, and the literature of the world. In addition to those whose hundredth anniversary occurs this year, some other noted Americans whose birthdays occur in February, are included in this list, as Washington, Longfellow, and James Russell Lowell. If, as has been said, the way to learn the history of the world is by reading the biographies of great men, our schools certainly have an excellent opportunity this year for studying the life and character of some of the world´s most eminent men. This is the last publication that will be issued from this Department under my administration, and I am pleased to spend these closing days of my term in calling the attention of the youth of the State to those who have made the world better by their high ideals, their lofty patriotism, their unblemished character, and their sublime devotion to duty.
