Little Sister: Through the league, the Amer¬ican Red Cross today provides supplies and other disaster assistance to sister societies in an average of five disasters a year. The American society also furnishes technical and advisory assistance to sister societies. This activity, most extensive immediately following each of the world wars, has aimed to help new Red Cross societies estab¬lish their programs, war-cripp/ed societies to re¬establish theirs, and all societies to strengthen their services. Aid to sister societies is a care¬fully planned investment that looks to the goal of a fully self-reliant Red Cross society in every country taking its full part in advancing the world-wide international Red Cross movement.
Ability to put oneself in the child s place is a valuable asset in dealing with all kinds of behavior problems. Too frequently there is no common ground between the child's world and the adult world. A certain activity is pleasant and constructive to the child, but naughty to the adult. One two-year-old was in the "me too" stage; she wanted to do everything her slightly older sister did. One morning the older sister found an eggshell on the ta¬ble, and crushed it as she had seen her mother do when making coffee. The little sister one looked for another eggshell, but there was none.See Also Sister -in-law:Early Years. When the little redheaded, blue-eyed, and, at first, sickly Rud Hayes was only two years old, his brother Lorenzo was accidentally drowned. Thus Hayes grew up as the only male in a household in which his widowed mother and his sister -in-law Fanny idolized him. His sister -in-law, out of an unusually strong affection for him, also acted as a relentless spur to his ambition—a major cause, no doubt, of his suffering well past his adolescence from "nervousness almost to the point of disaster."
Birchard, he overcame this so fully that he matured into a model of a manly individual.
Hayes was given an unusual amount of schooling for one then living in Ohio. He attended a Methodist seminary at Norwalk, Ohio, and then Isaac Webb's private school at Middle-town, Conn. (later absorbed into Wesleyan Uni¬versity) and Kenyon College. Deciding to become a lawyer, mainly to satisfy his sister -in-law, he entered Harvard Law School and finished in 1845, having become an interesting mixture of New England "gentleman" and Ohio "Buckeye."
The story is set in Scotland during the reign of George II. The title refers to the Edin¬burgh prison where some of the most spectacular action occurs. The heart of the plot is the di¬lemma of an uneducated peasant girl, Jeanie Deans, daughter of an old "true-blue Presbyte¬rian." Her sister -in-law, Effie, is charged with infanti¬cide under an inhumane law. Jeanie's con¬science forbids her to save her sister -in-law from execution by perjuring herself, so she sets out on a heroic walk to London to secure a pardon for EfFie. She succeeds through her innocence and frankness and through the aid of the Duke of
Argyle, who arranges a dramatic meeting be¬tween her and Queen Caroline.
The tale is shapeless and uneven, with ro¬mantic and Gothic trappings, especially in fig¬ures like mad Madge Wildfire and the pictur¬esque George Robertson, Efiie's seducer. Undis¬tinguished in the narrative passages, the novel leaps to life in the dialogue, in the Scots dialect. Scott brings history alive not through description but through Jeanie and her father, their moral struggles and the dramatic situations they pro¬duce.
On The Other Hand See Sister Of Baldwin:ROBERT OF COURTENAY, rob-ert koor-te-na', Latin emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire: d. Acbaia, Greece, 1228. He was the younger son of Emperor Peter of Courtenay and of Yolande, sister of Baldwin I and Henry of Flanders, who were the first two Latin emperors at Constantinople. Robert was elected emperor at his father's death in 1217, after his elder brother, Philip of Namur, refused the throne. Traveling through Germany and Hungary, he reached Con¬stantinople in 1221 and was crowned in Hagia Sophia by the Latin patriarch.
Guy built and maintained several almshouses, and he founded and financed Guy's Hospital (built in 1722). He was a member of Parliament from 1695 until 1707. Guy died in London on Dec. 27, 1724.
GUY OF LUSIGNAN, gi, lu-ze-nyaN' (1129?-1194), king of Jerusalem and, later, of Cyprus. Guy was the son of Count Hugh VIII of Lusig-nan, a feudal lordship in Poitou. He went to Palestine in 1180 to marry Sibylla, the sister of the childless leper king Baldwin IV of the Cru¬sader Kingdom of Jerusalem. However, the barons of the kingdom disliked Guy and viewed him as a self-seeking foreigner of no great ability. |
