Eugene Dickey and his wife Maibelle Swift Dickey,
James graduated from North Fulton High School. In

Liberal Education Physical Education
511 words
The essence of studia humanitatis is akin to that
of the Renaissance in general. The beginning of
studies in the humane arts was in many ways a new
birth of education, thinking and social structure,
but it was also a rebirth of the lost
enlightenment of antiquity. The idea was to
educate from classical works, which were much lost
in the Dark Ages, but also to educate in a way
never before seen or attempted. The combination of
physical and mental pursuits created an individual
who develops those ...

the idea for the American Constitution? The rights
of freedom, equality, and justice for all, which
are held sacred, were not always guaranteed for
all citizens. Many were deprived of life, liberty,
and the right to own property. Others were denied
public trials and the lower class were looked upon
as inferior. The Magna Carta also known as the
"Great Charter, " was signed by King John of
England in 1215. It was the document that changed

Polio Vaccine Nervous System

Jonas Salk developed the first polio vaccine. As a
student, Salk became interested in vaccines. At
the time it had been believed that bacterial
vaccines could be made from a preparation of dead
bacteria, which would immunize without inducing an
infection. But scientists believed that a live
vaccine had to be used in order to immunize
against a virus. Salk was unsure of this and,
