Mass Market. Condizione: Good. First Edition. 176 Pages, Store stamp inside back cover. Some light wrinkling but no stains or other evidence of moisture exposure. No other defects noted and pages are free of marks. Seventeen page center section of black and white photographs. 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 date of completion of this symphony is not known, as the original manuscript has been lost. It was first performed on 2 April, 1800, at Vienna. From what we know of Beethoven's method of working it can be guessed that the symphony had been on the stocks for some time. In fact, recognizable sketches for it are found among papers dated 1795. In 1800 the composer was thirty years of age, and the only other orchestral works he had written were two piano concertos, in C, op. 15, and in B flat, op. 19. His output had otherwise consisted entirely of chamber music and pianoforte sonatas. In spite of this, his handling of the orchestra shows no signs of uncertainty and is thoroughly expert and effective.…
