Washington, D.C. : Athens, Greece : Cambridge, Mass.: Center for Hellenic Studies : Trustees for Harvard University ; Foundation of the Hellenic World ; Distributed by Harvard University Press, 2002, x, 124pp., . Series: Hellenic studies 1 "This book examines the overall testimony of Plato as an expert - albeit a hostile one - about the cultural legacy of Homeric performances at the Panathenaia. Plato's fine-tuned ear for language - not just any language but in this case the technical language of high-class artisans like rhapsodes - picks up on a variety of authentic expressions and turns of phrase that echo the talk of rhapsodes as they once upon a time practiced their art - and even as they once upon a time spoke about this art." - CONTENTS: Homer and Plato at the Panathenaia -- Epic as music: rhapsodic models of Homer in Plato's Timaeus and Critias -- Humnos in Homer and Plato: weaving the robe of the goddess. 9780674009639 ISBN 0674009630.

Summary; Although the number of people under twenty years of age in the United States rose from 17 million in 1860 to 47.6 million in 1930, the percentage of them in the total population declined sharply during the same seventy years from 51 percent to 38 percent. This declining proportion of children and young people to adults did not lessen concern for their welfare. On the contrary, as they became relatively less numerous, the young became in a way more visible, and their needs were more easily recognized.This second of three volumes that trace the history of the nation's changing provisions for its youth covers the period from the end of the Civil War to the beginning of the New Deal. These were years rich in innovations which, although not fully realized, represented substantial advances in the welfare, education, and health of children. Much of the philanthropic energy of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries went into the provision of special facilities for children, who had formerly been treated in the same way as adults. State, and in some eases, federal legislation attempted to safeguard children against premature, excessive, and dangerous labor; sought to protect them against abuse. neglect, immorality, disease, and unsanitary surroundings: and compelled them to spend more time in school. The first White House Conference on the Care of Dependent and Neglected Children was convened by Theodore Roosevelt in 1909, and in 1912 the United States Children's Bureau was established. This single most important development in public provision for children during the early twentieth century signified the acceptance by the federal government of responsibility for promoting the health and welfare of the young.In this two--book volume, major topics like the legal status of children, child health, and education have been broken down into specific areas so that the items of specialized concern are easil.
