The American educational system, because it is based in behaviorist rather than progressivist philosophy, has not well-served the development of a citizenry capable of effective participation in the democratic decision-making process, the remedy being the progressivist methods described in the later chapters of Progressive Education for Democratic Society. The mistreatment of mind in schools, historically, is intentional, the consequence being the use of curriculum and methods that are intended to inculcate students in a manufactured truth rather than promote the development of critical thinking skills necessary for assessing the truth value of contents. While this emphasis does not educate students to be critically thoughtful participants in the societal decision-making process, it does pave the way for passive acceptance of an unfair and inequitable economic system, its beneficiaries the few and the wealthy while the masses are kept content and relatively subdued. Progressive educational methods are described and promoted as means for the creation of a sane and humane democratic society. These methods are student-centered, the student the creator of meaningful knowledge developed by treating information analytically in order to discover inherent truth value—this, the basis for effective decision-making as an individual and as a member of a democratic society. Freedom and responsibility are the linchpins of a free and, at the same time, humane society, responsibility leading to voluntary curtailment of freedom, enough so that all may enjoy the benefits of a free society. The book discusses issues of proper and improper authority in order to argue for schools in which students know how to benefit from the proper and challenge the improper.

Описание: Frank Hamilton Spearman (September 6, 1859 - December 29, 1937) was an American author. Spearman was known for his books in the Western fiction genre and especially for his fiction and non-fiction works on the topic of railroads. Although he wrote prolifically about railroads, his actual career was that of a bank president in McCook, Nebraska, and did not himself work for a railroad. Spearman was also a devout Roman Catholic convert and held political views best described as proto-Libertarian, both of which beliefs are also reflected in his novels.

Miles Martin, a divorced doctor, refused to be defined by his past. He moved to Alaska to start over but became disappointed because of failed love interests and betrayal of a friend. His mother became sick which led him back to his hometown in Atlanta, Georgia.
In Atlanta, he believed he was on the right track but he became wounded again. He refused to give up until he won Ruth's heart when they visited Bridal Veil Waterfalls in Oregon.
Ruth suffered abuse in her past which caused her to be distant toward Miles. On the other hand, other women in the book suffered loss and abuse too.
Meanwhile, Miles daughter, Trinity Martin an anxious young bride learned about life, what happened at the cross and the Temple Veil. She became appreciative of what the veil represented.
As God demonstrated His healing power and led them to their purpose, the people knew God was with them and loved them. They returned to God or became closer to God. This inspired them to love again. I hope Bridal Veil will inspire you to love again.

Описание: Excerpt from Daughter of a Magnate Ahead, the sun was sinking into the foot hills and wherever the eye could reach to the hori zon barren wastes lay riotously green under the golden blaze. The river, swollen everywhere out of its banks, spread in a broad and placid flood of yellow over the bottoms, and a hundred Shal low lakes studded With Willowed islands marked its wandering course to the south and east.
