Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Day: May Thirtieth, 1916 To Teachers And Pupils: In 1918 Illinois will celebrate the hundredth anniversary of its statehood. Every teacher and pupil in the schools of the State should have a part in that celebration. Scholars and artists will use their learning and powers to recreate the great events of our history. Brush and canvas, chisel and stone will reembody for us some of the men who wrought mightily to lay the foundations of this commonwealth. Volumes will be written to revive the life and spirit of the pioneers. Orators will breathe into the nostrils of a dead past the breath of a new life. In great pageants and plays we shall see the glorious history of Illinois pass before us. All of which will be very right and proper as an expression of our honor and respect for a State with such traditions and such achievements. But no scholar, no artist, no orator can make such worthwhile and abiding contributions to this celebration as the teacher. It is hers to write these precious records in thoughts of boys and girls. Only her brush can touch the canvas of the child´s imagination until it is radiant with the dreams and visions of the past. Out of the quarries of their hearts and minds she must dig and carve the imperishable forms of the heroic men and measures of bygone days. Into the throbbing, growing ideals of their lives she alone can breathe the spirit of the past, the present and the future. Whether in the crowded buildings of our great cities or in the little one-room school in the open country, the teacher will erect the most fitting and most abiding memorials to the greatness and worth of our past history. To assist teachers in this great work the Memorial Day Annual will, for three issues, carry matter and suggestions relating to the Centennial Celebration. This issue is given over to three great Illinoisans, Lincoln, Douglas and Grant. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
