This book is not intended for Teachers, University Lecturers, Child Psychologists, Directors of Education or any other professional who knows the answers. It is intended for parents, and those interested in the way children grow up at school, who normally have only their own experience to help them, and who realize that education may have changed since their day. Our own memories of childhood are inevitably limited, evanescent, and clouded with confusion between what was and what might have been. The book is an attempt, superficial no doubt, to steer a middle course amid the conflicting evidence, and to give some idea of what happens to our young from the hour when they leave home to go to school until they come back to tea. Contents in 13 Chapters: Why Education, choosing the First School, The Infant School, The Junior School, Seven to Eleven, The Modern School, The Second School, The Grammar School, Seven to Seventeen, The First Job, The Teacher, School Health Services, and Better Schools for All.…

The sequel to Wright's best-selling Shepherd of the Hills follows the story of Dan Matthews, son of Sammy and Young Matt. As the newly appointed minister to the small Midwestern town of Corinth, Dan faces the challenge of uniting a community divided by the legacy of violence. He is outraged by the town's treatment of Grace Conner--rejected, humiliated, and held accountable for her father's crimes. Adding to the drama is Dan's increasing attraction to the town's new nurse, Hope Farwell, who also champions the scorned Grace. Dan wrestles with his conscience as his duty to the church elders conflicts with his desire to prescribe holiness and justice to his ailing congregation. The Calling of Dan Matthews is a timeless story based on the principles of neighborly kindness and community fellowship. A clean very presentable copy.…
