Horace Mann: A comparison of a traditional and a revisionist biography

The purpose of this study was to compare a traditional biography, Burke A. Hinsdale\u27s Horace Mann and the Common School Revival in the United States (1900), and a revisionist biography, Jonathan Messerli\u27s Horace Mann: a Biography (1972), within a neutral frame of reference to determine which author made the more logical use of evidence to support his argument.;David H. Fischer\u27s Historians\u27 Fallacies (1970) and Richard E. Neustadt & Ernest R. May\u27s Thinking in Time (1986) were used to formulate a neutral frame of reference within which to analyze the two biographies.;Hinsdale\u27s explanation was found to consist of a series of generalizations few of which were supported by credible relevant evidence. Thus, while Messerli\u27s explanation in part relied on the assumption that such evidence as has survived is adequate to justify using psychological and sociological theory to explain the formation of Mann\u27s personality, his explanation otherwise generally uses credible relevant evidence to support the generalizations he makes. Therefore, it was concluded that Messerli made the more logical use of evidence to support his argument.;Since making generalizations about the traditional and the revisionist genres based on a single sample of each is tenuous, additional studies are needed to justify extending the conclusions of this study to the genres

A New Galaxy in the Local Group: the Antlia Dwarf Galaxy

We report the discovery of new member of the Local Group in the constellation of Antlia. Optically the system appears to be a typical dwarf spheroidal galaxy of type dE3.5 with no apparent young blue stars or unusual features. A color-magnitude diagram in I, V-I shows the tip of the red giant branch, giving a distance modulus of 25.3 +/- 0.2 (1.15 Mpc +/- 0.1) and a metallicity of -1.6 +/- 0.3. Although Antlia is in a relatively isolated part of the Local Group it is only 1.2 degrees away on the sky from the Local Group dwarf NGC3109, and may be an associated system.Comment: AJ in press, 15 pages, 7 figures, figure 2 in b/w for space saving, full postscript version available at http://www.ast.cam.ac.uk/~gkth/antlia-pp.htm

West of the Great Divide

[Verse 1]The day is ending, you’re smiling thruTomorrow’s sending a struggle new;The burden’s heavy, but if you bear,We’ll find a haven, our love to share. [Verse 2]The years we’ve waited, we’ll soon forget,Our hearts were mated since first we met;The trail to Loveland, soon dear, we’ll find,All care and sorrow we’ll leave behind. [Refrain]Out where the sun bids the day a fond good-bye,Our where the fields meet the crimson of the sky,Out where all sorrow surrenders,Out where the blue begins,Dreams we once knew will return, and come trueLove that is strong must abide.Blest in a nest in the West well find rest.West of the Great Divide-vide

VERSE 1When Mrs. Brown told hubby,“I just can’t stand the heat,Please send me to the country, dear,I know ‘twould be a treat.”Next day his wife and fam’ly were seated on a train,And when the train had started,Brownie shouted this refrain.
