The Village

Gordon Morgan Holmes was born in Dublin on 22 February 1876, the son of Gordon Holmes and his wife Kathleen Morgan). There were three brothers and a sister all of whom survive. The family is believed to have come to Ireland from Yorkshire and to have been settled in King’s County during the last of the Cromwellian plantations at the time of the Acts of Settlement in 1652. Holmes’s mother acquired by inheritance Dellin House and property at Castle Bellingham, Co. Louth, just south of the Ulster border, and this then became the family home and was farmed by his father. In complexion, physique and predominantly in temperament, Holmes was indubitably an Irishman, and during the centuries Irish blood must have mingled with the English strain. His mother died while he was a child and his formal education began late. He has said that he taught himself to read, but it is recalled that later in the village school his schoolmaster discerning unusual ability in the lad voluntarily gave him extra tuition. Thence he went as a boarder to the Dundalk Educational Institute where his schooling was completed. The school had a reputation for turning out good mathematicians, and when Holmes went up to Trinity College, Dublin, his choice wavered between reading mathematics or classics. But he was a determined walker, and had rapidly grown to love the Wicklow Hills, so easily within reach of Dublin, and to develop an interest in their flora. He thus decided to read natural science, was attracted by botany and biology, and so became a medical student. In 1897 he took his B.A., Senior Moderator in Natural Science, graduated in medicine in 1897 and proceeded M.D. in 1903. During his course he took a number of scholarships and a travelling prize. His hospitals were the Sir Patrick Dunn’s and—after graduation—the Richmond Hospital.

Alfred Young was born at Birchfield, Farnworth, near Widnes, Lancashire, on 16 April 1873. He died after a short illness on Sunday, 15 December 1940. He was the youngest son of Edward Young, a prosperous Liverpool merchant and a Justice of the Peace for the county. His father married twice and had a large family, eleven living to grow up. The two youngest sons of the two branches of the family rose to scientific distinction: Sydney Young, of the elder family, became the distinguished chemist of Owen’s College, Manchester, University College, Bristol, and finally, for many years, of Trinity College, Dublin. He was elected Fellow of the Royal Society in his thirty-sixth year and died in 1937. Alfred, who was fifteen years his junior, was elected Fellow in 1934, at the age of sixty, in recognition of his mathematical contributions to the algebra of invariants and the theory of groups, a work to which he had devoted over ten years of academic life followed by thirty years of leisure during his duties as Rector of a country parish. Recognition of his remarkable powers came late but swiftly: he was admitted to the Fellowship in the year when his name first came up for election. In 1879 the family moved to Bournemouth, and in due course the younger brothers went to school and later to a tutor, under whom Alfred suffered for his brain power, being the only boy considered worth keeping in.

William Wilson was born on 1 March 1875 at Goody Hills, near the village of Mawbray on the Solway shore in Cumberland, where his father was a farmer. His ancestors on the paternal and maternal sides of the family appear to have been farmers for some generations. His education began in the village school of Holme St Cuthbert where, as he has related, he had a master of outstanding ability, named John Routledge. He has recorded that the books he read at this time directed his interest towards scientific study, and that a book by Nesbit owned by his father on mensuration and land surveying gave him his first taste for geometry. It was, however, evidently his intention to take up a career in agriculture, for after gaining the Longcake scholarship of £40 a year for three years when he was not quite fourteen years of age, he went to the Agricultural College at Aspatria as a weekly boarder. In the college he had his first experience of formal scientific teaching and study, especially in chemistry and surveying together with biology, geology and zoology, and became interested in the application of scientific method and knowledge in agriculture.

<p><strong>Abstract:</strong> A qualitative descriptive study was used for the process of internalizing palawija farmers to watermelon farmers in Wotgalih village, Yosowilangun sub-district, Lumajang regency. Based on the existing phenomena, the impact arising from the internalization process can be seen from the realm of economic education, especially non-formal education. Data and data sources were collected based on observations and interviews with several informants who lived in the Wotgalih Yosowilangun area. The results of the analysis of data collected from the management and members of the <em>Margo Tani</em> group are twofold: first, the process of internalization of palawija farmers and watermelon farmers together through three things, namely learning while working, learning by word of mouth and learning while practicing. The difference is among the three of them on palawija farmers, that is, palawija farmers' profession is obtained from generation to generation from the family. Unlike the farming of watermelons obtained through these three things without having to pay personal expenses. Second, the Impact of Internalization of Economic Education in the "<em>Margo Tani</em>" Watermelon Farmer Group in the village of Wotgalih brought the price of rent and the selling price of land to rise. The income of the watermelon farmers has increased and is living a prosperous life and the local village is well-built and neat.</p><strong>Abstrak:</strong> Penelitian deskriptif kualitatif digunakan untuk proses internalisasi petani palawija ke petani semangka yang ada di desa Wotgalih kecamatan Yosowilangun kabupaten Lumajang. Berdasarkan fenomena yang ada, dampak yang muncul akibat proses internalisasi dapat dilihat dari ranah pendidikan ekonomi, khususnya pendidikan non formal. Data dan sumber data dikumpulkan berdasarkan observasi dan wawancara terhadap beberapa informan yang tinggal di wilayah Wotgalih Yosowilangun. Hasil analisis data yang terkumpul dari pengurus dan anggota kelompok Margo Tani ada dua, yaitu proses internalisasi terhadap petani palawija dan petani semangka sama-sama melalui tiga hal yaitu belajar sambil bekerja, belajar dari mulut ke mulut dan belajar sambil praktik. Bedanya adalah diantara ketiganya pada petani palawija yaitu pofesi petani palawija ada yang diperoleh secara turun temurun dari pihak keluarga. Berbeda dengan bertani buah semangka yang diperoleh melalui tiga hal tersebut tanpa harus mengeluarkan biaya pribadi. Kedua, Dampak Internalisasi Pendidikan Ekonomi Pada Kelompok Petani Semangka “Margo Tani” di desa Wotgalih<strong> </strong>membawa harga sewa dan nilai jual lahan tanah naik. Pendapatan masyarakat petani semangka meningkat dan hidup sejahtera dan desa setempat terbangun serta tertata rapi.

Interest In Research

Dr Herbert William Richmond, the eminent geometer, died in the Evelyn Nursing Home, Cambridge, on 22 April 1948, at the age of eighty-four. At the time of his death he was Senior Fellow of King’s College, Cambridge, in which college he had resided almost continuously for sixty-five years. Though crippled with rheumatism, he had been able, till within a few days of his death, to move about his rooms in a wheeled chair, to descend the staircase reasonably nimbly with the aid of crutches and to propel himself in his bath-chair as far as the King’s Fellows’ Garden. Except for a somewhat marked deafness caused by his attendance at gun-trials at Eastney, Portsmouth, in 1916-1919, he was in full possession of all his faculties to the end, and to the end he maintained his interest in research and in his fellow-mathematicians and other friends. He died of heart failure following an attack of pneumonia. Richmond was born on 17 July 1863, at Tottenham, Middlesex, at Drapers’ College (a school established by the Drapers’ Company) of which his father, the Rev. William Hall Richmond, was headmaster. His mother was Charlotte Mary, nee Ward, the daughter of Dr Joseph Ward of Epsom. Herbert William was the eldest of the family, having two younger brothers, George Ward and Alfred Mewburn, and two younger sisters, Margaret Evelyn and Ethel Mary. For five or six generations his forbears who bore his name Richmond had lived near Hexham on the Tyne, at Humshaugh or Haydon Bridge: small squires or parsons (or both). One of his other great-great-grandfathers, William Hall, was a Fellow of St John’s College, Cambridge; William Hall’s brother was Provost of Trinity College, Dublin. On his mother’s side his great-uncle Nathaniel Bagshawe Ward, F.R.S. (1791-1868), elder brother of the above-mentioned Dr Joseph Ward, had been a doctor with a large practice in East London and an ardent nature-lover; he earned the gratitude of botanists by his discovery of the principle of the Wardian Case , invaluable for the introduction of species of plants to distant countries—tea, bananas, cinchona (quinine), and more recently, rubber.

Rakoetta S. Brahmana is a name that is still unfamiliar to some of the ears of North Sumatra people, especially for Indonesians in general. Rakoetta, as her comrade and family called her, was a Karo son who was born in the village of Limang, Tanah Karo on August 4, 1914. Rakoetta means glue in the Karo language. By giving that name, his parents hoped that Rakoetta would truly become the glue (unity) for the family and the wider community. This article is intended to re-record the struggle and dedication of Rakoetta as an exemplary figure for what is now known a “fighting” in the Indonesian politics, the Simultaneous Local Election. Rakoetta understood his sociological conditions and Karo culture well because of the influence of his parents. His knowledge of Karo culture became a strong capital in pursuing his political career during the independence struggle in North Sumatra, in addition to his formal education experience at HIS Kabanjahe and Medan Taman Siswa School between 1924 and 1930s. When in Medan, Rakoetta began to come into contact with ideas of nationalism. In Medan political organizations such as Budi Utomo, Sarekat Islam, the Indonesian Communist Party and the Indonesian National Party flourished. During the revolutionary period of independence he was actively involved as a member of Partindo, PNI, Boempa, BPI, BKR until he became regent of the revolutionary period. Rakoetta continued to serve as a Regent of Karo for two periods from 1946 to 1954, and again a Regent of Asahan concurrently Mayor of Tanjung Balai 1954-1960 and Mayor of Siantar 1960-1964. Rakoetta passed away in 1964. The story of Rakoetta’s life saves a bitter and full of ethos of struggle; consistent, resilient, tough, creative, clean and anti-corruption. There are many moral examples that should be emulated from a Rakoetta. The story of his struggle has never been written by anyone.

Critics have recently begun to pay attention to the influence Jean Racine's plays had on the work of Samuel Beckett, noting his 1930–31 lectures at Trinity College Dublin, and echoes of Racine in early texts such as Murphy (1938). This essay suggests that as well as the Trinity lectures, Beckett's later re-reading of Racine (in 1956) can be seen as fundamentally influential on his drama. There are moments of direct allusion to Racine's work, as in Oh les beaux jours (1963), where the echoes are easily discernible; but I suggest that soon, in particular with Come and Go (1965), the characteristics of a distinctly Racinian stagecraft become more subtly apparent, in what Danièle de Ruyter has called ‘choix plus spécifiquement théâtraux’: pared-down lighting, carefully-crafted entries and exits, and visual tableaux made increasingly difficult to read. Through an account of Racine's dramaturgy, and the ways in which he structures bodily motion and theatrical talk, I suggest that Beckett's post-1956 drama can be better understood, as stage-spectacles, in the light of Racine's plays; both writers give us, in Myriam Jeantroux's phrase, the complicated spectacle of ‘un lieu à la fois désert et clôturé’. As spectators to Beckett's drama, by keeping Racine in mind we can come to understand better the limitations of that spectatorship, and how the later plays trouble our ability to see – and interpret – the figures that move before us.

Race Analysis

This critical exchange is based on a conversation between the authors which took place during the Irish University Review Roundtable Discussion: Displacing the Canon (2019 IASIL Conference, Trinity College Dublin). As authors we give first-hand accounts of our experience writing, editing, and teaching in Ireland, attempting to draw out concerns we have for the future of Irish literature and Irish Studies that specifically relate to race. The conversation here suggests that race directly impacts what we consider valuable in our literary culture. We both insist on decentring universalism as a governing literary critical concept and insist on the urgent application of critical race analysis to the construction of literary value systems in Ireland.

The Relationship

Through hitherto neglected manuscripts at Trinity College Dublin, the Bodleian Library, and the Wordsworth Trust, this paper explores the relationship between William Wordsworth and his Irish friends William Rowan Hamilton and Francis Beaufort Edgeworth around 1829. It details the debates about poetry and science between Hamilton (Professor of Astronomy at Trinity College Dublin and Royal Astronomer of Ireland) and Edgeworth (the novelist Maria Edgeworth's half-brother), in which Wordsworth was embroiled when he visited Ireland in the autumn of 1829. By examining a variety of documents including letters, poems, lectures, and memoirs, a fragment of literary history may be restored and a clearer understanding may be reached of the tensions between poetry and science in Wordsworth's poetry, particularly in The Excursion, and of the Irish provenance of a memorable passage in ‘On the Power of Sound’.

The results of the study found that the responsibility of religious education of children in the family of Tablighi Jama'ah differed in terms of several conditions, namely first, when parents were not going to khuruj where both parents were responsible for children's education; secondly, when the father goes khuruj, then the mother is responsible for everything including children's education; third, when both parents go khuruj, then the responsibility of the child is left to other family members such as grandparents or their first adult children; and fourth, when the child goes to khuruj, where parents are responsible for children's religious education both mother and father. The pattern of the religious education in the Tablighi Jama'ah family in the village of Bolang is formed from several similarities held in the implementation of religious education, one of which is the daily activity that is carried out by the Tablighi Jama'at family. Al-Qur'an becomes one of the material given to children in the ta'lim. Children are taught how to read the Qur'an and memorize short letters such as Surat al-Falaq, al-Ikhlas, and so on. In addition to al-Qur'an, in this ta'lim there is a special study in the Tablighi Jama'ah, which is reading the book of fadhilah ‘amal, and the last is mudzakarah six characteristics.
