Thompson Document 18: Letter From Henrietta Thompson To Bridget Croft, Henrietta Thompson
Henrietta Thompson Papers
A final letter from Henrietta Thompson to Bridget Croft. It seems that the telephone conversation that prompted this letter was not an entirely felicitous one, and that Henrietta’s recommendation that Croft publish A Sense of Purpose was perhaps mistaken for a promise that Thompson would act on Croft’s behalf to that end.

New Book Promotes Democracy, Power Of Drama In Teaching, Kay Hyatt
New Book Promotes Democracy, Power Of Drama In Teaching, Kay Hyatt
General University of Maine Publications
Drama brings democracy to learning, yet it's an under-used technique in American classrooms, says an author of a new book that presents drama as a powerful and inclusive way of teaching abstract concepts, supporting reading and writing, and understanding different perspectives of life. "Drama is not theater, and it's not about performance. It's exploration," says Jeffrey Wilhelm, assistant professor of literacy education at the University of Maine, who with colleague Brian Edmiston of Ohio State University wrote "Imagining To Learn: Inquiry, Ethics, and Integration Through Drama" (Heinemann 1998).

A child's perceived readiness for school is locally based and varies in accordance with community culture, resources and expectations, according to a University of Maine researcher, who says preschool screening should be an instructional starting point for a teacher, not a placement tool to label children or keep them out of kindergarten.
Sir Hiram Maxim And His Gun: A Literary Trail, Charles Shain
Sir Hiram Maxim And His Gun: A Literary Trail, Charles Shain
Maine History
Hiram Maxim, born near Sangerville, Maine, in 1840, enjoyed a brilliant career as an inventor and self-promotor. His best-known invention, the Maxim gun, proved appallingly successful during the British imperialistic ventures in Africa at the turn of the century and later in World War I. In this article, Emeritus Professor Charles Shain traces the literary usages for Maxim ’s invention, both as noun and as a verb - describing the scything action of the gun as it mowed down an advancing foe. Charles Shain published and taught in the field of American Studies at Carleton College and for twelve years …

Maine Lumber Production, 1839-1997: A Statistical Overview, Lloyd C. Irland
Maine History
Complementing the qualitative account of forestry's impact provided by Geoffrey Carpenter, Lloyd Irland gives us a broad statistical overview of the industry, its changing economic fortunes, and its impact on the environment of the north woods. The data, while not always precise, reveal the terms upon which the state's decision-makers historically viewed the forest and its future. Mr. Irland is private forestry consultant in Winthrop, Maine, who has written widely on New England forestry topics, including Wildlands and Woodlots: The Story Of New England's Forests (1982).

Deforestation In Nineteenth-Century Maine: The Record Of Henry David Thoreau, Geoffrey Paul Carpenter
Deforestation In Nineteenth-Century Maine: The Record Of Henry David Thoreau, Geoffrey Paul Carpenter
Maine History
Thoreau’s Maine Woods, a record of three trips made between 1846 and 1857, offers a combination of literary metaphor and precise botanical and topographical observation. Comparing Thoreau’s journals with recent advances in forest ecology, author Geoffrey Paul Carpenter reveals a detailed picture of the various ways in which logging activity changed the forests, lakes, and rivers of Maine. Carpenter demonstrates that a precise understanding of forest history depends not only on traditional statistical sources, but also on the subjective personal testimony found in the literary record.

Electronic Theses and Dissertations
Throughout the nineteenth century in the United States, Native American and European cultures were often in conflict, consequently, Native Americans found it necessary to transform their traditional practices in order to adhere to the ever-changing environment These transformations included altering their hunting and gathering patterns since land speculators and industrialists appropriated the land and its resources, and encouraged agricultural development. They had to reconstruct their religion to fit the new Christian worldview They also had to rethink the role of traditional tribal politics in order to adhere to the laws of emerging governments. Native Americans throughout the United States were …

Debate continues to rage in academic and research circles over beginning reading instruction. The controversies are heated and politically charged. Now, the so-called Reading War is boiling over into the popular press and stirring up unnecessary fears among parents and community members that schools and teachers may not be using the "best" method to teach reading. In Maine, reports about the Reading War are turning up with regularity in local newspapers and on radio talk shows and statewide newscasts.

Weapons Of Minor Destruction, Marc Baranowski
General University of Maine Publications
The calculated rampage of two boys has left four classmates and a teacher dead and 11 others wounded at a middle school in Arkansas. It is a shocking, chilling disaster that begs for explanation. But there are no easy answers or quick solutions to violence as devastating as the murder of children by other children.
