Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Some Memories of Mrs. Woodhouse: Sheffield High School, 1878-1898; Clapham High School, 1898-1912 In putting together this short collection of memories of Mrs. Woodhouse, I have been influenced not only by the desire of her many friends who have begged to have it, but by my own strong conviction that it is a real duty, a wise conservation of spiritual energy, to gather up and hand on the elements of good which have been generated and liberated by a life such as hers. When all is said and done, it seems as if that is the way in which illumination and redemption in all degrees are effected - by the carrying over of great ideals from the misty region of the abstract into the terms of a human personality. We never seem to outgrow the age for object-lessons, or the need of them. This is the justification for trying to set out the significance of the individual life with all its personal bearings - seen from first one angle and then another; and I have accordingly put down just as far as I could what Mrs. Woodhouse stood for in my own eyes, redressing the balance by adding at the end an appendix, giving impressions from other sources. The appendix, like the true woman´s P.S. to a letter, has turned out to be the substantial part: in it will be found many extracts from letters, quotations from official documents, and passages from Mrs. Woodhouse´s own educational addresses. I hope that all taken together may succeed in conveying some not wholly inadequate impression of her personality. As I look back upon her life, trying to read its lasting significance, my predominant feeling emerges as a grateful sense of real refreshment and reinforcement of spirit.
