First Week of School: What Matters
If you're feeling overwhelmed thinking about your first week of school, I want you to know: you're not alone. The first week brings a mix of anticipation, pressure, and hope. Whether you're a brand new teacher or returning for your tenth year, there's nothing quite like Day 1. It's full of potential and also, if we¡¯re being honest, a bit of chaos.
The truth? You don¡¯t have to do everything. And ...

134 ¡°Anybody who remained in England would have to¡ªhe¡¯d be left there. But¡ª¡± Mr. Whiteside leaned forward and spoke meaningly, ¡°¡ªa man sailed from England¡ªand although I did not know it at the time, I have checked up, since, and the man from London is an English circus acrobat¡ªwho went in for ¡®stunting¡¯ on airplanes.¡± ¡°Now,¡± he said, as Dick, last to crawl in, cleared the edge of the metal, ¡°see how clever this is¡ªthe inside of the two plates it has to come down against are fixed with something soft¡ªI think it¡¯s felt¡ªto keep the plate from clanging. It fits so well that the only way I found out about it was by the sun making the dent in the paint show up a few little bright worn spots of bare metal.¡± Then Brewster began to listen. While the men sat at the long table, shovelling in with knife and three-pronged fork the food of the master their pride forbade them to serve, a horse came at a run, up to the quadrangle, and a cow-boy rushed into the open doorway. "Apaches!" he gasped, clutching at the lintel, wild-eyed, "Apaches!" Somewhere in that same poem, he remembered, there had been advice relative to a man's contending to the uttermost for his life's set prize, though the end in sight were a vice. He shrugged his shoulders. It might be well enough to hold to that in Florence and the Middle Ages. It was highly impracticable for New Mexico and the nineteenth century. So many things left undone can be conveniently laid to the prosaic and materialistic tendencies of the age. Things were bad enough now¡ªfor Landor, for himself, and most especially for Felipa. But if one were to be guided by the romantic poets, they could conceivably be much worse. Whilst these proceedings were in agitation, the Tory and Jacobite party, which had at the king's accession appeared stunned, now recovering spirit, began to foment discontent and sedition in the public mind. They got the pulpits to work, and the High Church clergy lent themselves heartily to it. The mobs were soon set to pull down the meeting-houses of the Dissenters. Many buildings were destroyed, and many Dissenters insulted. They did not pause there, but they blackened the character of the king, and denied his right to the Crown, whilst the most fascinating pictures were drawn of the youth, and grace, and graciousness of the rightful English prince, who was wandering in exile to make way for the usurper. To such a length did matters go, that the Riot Act, which had been passed in the reign of Mary, and limited to her own reign, which was again revived by Elizabeth, and had never since been called into action, was now made perpetual, and armed with increased power. It provided that if twelve persons should unlawfully assemble to disturb the peace, and any one Justice should think proper to command them by proclamation to disperse, and should they, in contempt of his orders, continue together for one hour, their assembling should be felony without benefit of clergy. A subsequent clause was added, by which pulling down chapels or houses, even before proclamation, was made subject to the same penalties. Such is the Act in force at this day. Still more have "The Seasons" and "The Castle of Indolence" of James Thomson retained, and are likely to retain, the public favour. "The Seasons" is a treasury of the life and imagery of the country, animated by a true love of Nature and of God, and abounding in passages of fire, healthy feeling, and strong sense, often of sublime conceptions, in a somewhat stiff and vicious style. "The Castle of Indolence" is a model of metrical harmony and luxurious fancy, in the Spenserian stanza. Another poet of the same time and country¡ªScotland¡ªis Allan Ramsay, who, in his native dialect, has painted the manners and sung the rural loves of Scotland in his "Gentle Shepherd" and his rustic lyrics. Till Burns, no Scottish poet so completely embodied the spirit, feelings, and popular life of his country. Amongst a host of verse-makers, then deemed poets, but who were merely imitators of imitators, we must except Gray, with his nervous lyrics, and, above all, his ever-popular "Elegy in a Country Churchyard." Gray also has a genuine vein of wit and merriment in his verse. Collins was a poet who under happier conditions might have done the greatest things. Parnell's "Hermit," Blair's "Grave," Shenstone's "School Mistress," Akenside's "Imagination," can yet charm some readers, and there are others in great numbers whose works yet figure in collections of the poets, or whose individual poems are selected in anthologies, as Smith, King, Sprat Bishop of Rochester, Duke, Montague Earl of Halifax, Nicholas Rowe, Dyer¡ªauthor of the "Fleece," "Grongar Hill," and "Ruins of Rome,"¡ªSheffield, Duke of Buckinghamshire, Fenton, Somerville¡ªauthor of "The Chase," "Field Sports," etc.,¡ªHammond¡ªauthor of "Love Elegies,"¡ªLord Lyttelton, Mallet, Mickle¡ªauthor of the ballads of "Cumnor Hall," "There's Nae Luck about the House," and translator of the "Lusiad" of Camoens,¡ªShaw, Harte, West, Cawthorne, Lloyd, Gilbert Cooper, Grainger¡ªauthor of "The Sugar Cane," and the once popular ballad of "Bryan and Pereene,"¡ªDodsley, poet and bookseller, Boyse¡ªauthor of "The Deity," a poem, etc.,¡ªSmollett¡ªmore remarkable as a novelist and historian,¡ªMichael Bruce, Walsh, Falconer¡ªauthor of "The Shipwreck,"¡ªYalden, Pattison, Aaron Hill, Broome, Pitt¡ªthe translator of Virgil,¡ªJohn Philips¡ªauthor of "Cider," a poem, "The Splendid Shilling," etc.,¡ªWest, and others. In fact, this age produced poets enough to have constituted the rhythmical literature of a nation, had they had as much genius as they had learning. "Injianny!" sneered the old man. "Meanest people in the world live in Injianny. Settled by scalawags that we'uns run outen Tennessee bekase they'uns wuz too onery to live heah." "I brung her here." By the time they came in sight of the sutler's shanty the boys had finished their breakfast and were moving off after Billings. The dusk was falling now, splashed by crude flares over the stalls, and once more that creep¡ªdelicious, tingling, suffocating¡ªwas in her heart, the intoxication of the weak by the strong. It seemed as if he were holding her closer. She grew warm, and yet she would not stop. There was sweat on her forehead, she felt her woollen gown sticking to her shoulders¡ªbut she would not rest. The same old tune jigged on¡ªit was good to dance to, and Harry liked playing it. Reuben liked her voice, with its town modulation, the only vestige of Sussex taint being a slight drawl. It struck him that Alice Jury was a "lady," and that he was not condescending very much in speaking to her. It made her blood boil to think of Robert and Albert in their exile. Robert had now been released from gaol, and had been sent by a charitable society to Australia. Reuben had refused to move a hand to help him. As for Albert, a few months ago a piteous letter had arrived, begging for money. He had, through Mr. Hedges, found work on a small Radical paper which soon came to grief, and since then had been practically starving, having had no success as a freelance. A friend of his wanted to start a weekly review¡ªTory this time, for Albert's politics were subservient to occasion¡ªand only required funds. Did Reuben feel prepared to make an investment? Thus poor Albert cloaked and trimmed his begging. "Avast there! Master Tyler," said Wells, shaking off the grip of the smith; "I know no more of Lancaster than yourself: I told you this morning he was on the borders¡ªand so, how, in the name of all the saints, could he be here?¡ªbut I tell ye, there are some here who would rather lay hand upon John of Gaunt's gold than upon John of Gaunt's body!"
