Dutch Life in Town and Country (Classic Reprint)
Author: P. M. Hough
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781330684528
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 346
Book Description
Excerpt from Dutch Life in Town and Country There is in human affairs a reason for everything we see, although not always reason in everything. It is the part of the historian to seek in the archives of a nation the reasons for the facts of common experience and observation; it is the part of the philosopher to moralise upon antecedent causes and present results. Neither of these positions is taken up by the author of this little book. He merely, as a rule, gives the picture of Dutch life now to be seen in the Netherlands, and in all things tries to be scrupulously fair to a people renowned for their kindness and courtesy to the stranger in their midst. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at www.forgottenbooks.com This book is a reproduction of an important historical work.

Dutch Reformed Education
Author: Donald A. Luidens
Publisher:
ISBN: 9781732085442
Category :
Languages : en
Pages :
Book Description
Most of the essays in this volume provide snapshots of the ongoing drive for a self-consciously Christian education that was embedded in the Dutch Reformed immigrant movement. These essays are happily complemented by chapters that reflect on the broader implications of the Dutch immigrant experience in other spheres of the educational enterprise. The multidisciplinary approaches that appear here make this volume particularly engaging. Along with a preponderance of historians, a scattering of cultural anthropologists, language and literature scholars, theologians, and even a photographer will make their appearance in the following pages. The rich variety of lenses that they bring to bear enlivens our imaginations and extends our understanding of the Dutch immigrant experience. Initial forays into the business of Reformed Christian education-such as Erasmus Hall Academy, begun in 1786 in the Flatbush section of Brooklyn-were harbingers of the vibrant array of local schools, academies, and colleges that blossomed across the country. As late as the 1950s, the impetus was alive and well among Reformed folk intent on preserving their religious traditions, resulting in the founding of Dordt College in Iowa and Trinity College in Chicago.Along the way, these scholastic establishments were beset by a number of cultural crosscurrents. Almost all were buffeted by competition from public schools that provided comparable scholarly fare but without the religious framework. Whether in nineteenth-century Iowa or in twentieth-century New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, or Ontario, these tussles were painful, poignant, and variously resolved, sometimes to the favor of the Christian schools, sometimes not.
