Strona 158 - Splendor of Beauty; For Yesterday is but a Dream, And Tomorrow is only a Vision; But Today well lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. Look well therefore to this Day! Such is the Salutation of the Dawn.
Strona 41 - I, AB, do solemnly swear or affirm, that I will administer justice without respect to persons, and do equal right to the poor and to the rich, and that I will faithfully and impartially discharge and perform all the duties incumbent on me as , according to the best of my abilities and understanding, agreeably to the constitution and laws of the United States. So help me God.
Strona 98 - Cases of ordinary evident feeble-mindedness are not usually so referred. These cases evidently differ from the general run of presumably defective persons presenting themselves to a school physician or to a general medical clinic. In this class of cases a diagnosis is usually sought for the purpose of deciding the patient's future. Is he normal or mentally defective? Is he able to attend the public schools or to go to work? Will he eventually be self-supporting? Shall he be held responsible for his...
Strona 126 - The Binet tests, in the hands of competent examiners, usually corroborate the results of clinical examination in the recognition of all degrees of mental defect in children under ten, and of pronounced defect in older persons. These tests are not so effective in detecting slight mental defect in world-wise adolescents and adults. In other words, the Binet tests corroborate where we do not need corroboration, and are not decisive where the differential diagnosis of the high grade defective from the...
Strona 24 - Known bondholders, mortgagees, and other security holders, holding 1 per cent or more of total amount of bonds, mortgages or other securities: (If there are none, so state.) None.
Strona 126 - One hears very different judgments on the value of life. Some say it is good, others say it is bad. It would be more correct to say that it is mediocre; because on the one hand it brings us less happiness than we want, while on the other hand, the misfortunes it brings are less than others wish for us. It is the mediocrity of life that makes it endurable; or, still more, that keeps it from being positively unjust.
Strona 145 - Millions of items of the outward order are present to my senses which never properly enter into my experience. Why? Because they have no interest for me. My experience is what I agree to attend to. Only those items which I notice shape my mind — without selective interest, experience is an utter chaos. Interest alone gives accent and emphasis, light and shade, background and foreground — intelligible perspective, in a word.
Strona 103 - ... long training. Any practical arithmetical computation at all involved is quite beyond the brightest defective. Few can solve the problem : If I give you a dollar and you go in town on the electric car and pay your fare and return, and buy stamps for three letters, how much money will you have left? He may know the amount of the car fare and the price of stamps, but he cannot do the sum. The general scheme of inquiry and examination so far described was in general use before the application of...
Strona 128 - They are of great practical value in demonstrating various shadings of the borderline zone's of mental defect, as well as certain types of delinquent personality not yet generally recognized as variations of mental deficiency or of limited responsibility. The generalizations from the application of this admirably flexible and comprehensive method of examination should furnish data of great value in diagnosis and classification. The differentiating tests of Dr. GG Fernald form another notable addition...
Strona 126 - ... and its right angle at the smaller of the two acute angles. 3. DIFFERENCES. Ask the difference between Pleasure and honor. Evolution and revolution. Event and advent. Poverty and misery. Pride and pretention. 4. Say to the subject: "There are three differences between the President of a Republic and a King. What are they?
