The striking contrast of table manners was an interesting object-lesson in the progress of civilization. The breakfast was a novelty to the Americans who partook of it, and they enjoyed it thoroughly. Will was made a social lion during his stay in London, being dined and feted upon various occasions.
Black men were in debt to white men, and white men were in debt to black men. In a word, the industrial and commercial relations of the races were interwoven just as if all had been of one race. An object-lesson in civilization is more potent in compelling people to act right than a law compelling them to do so.
"For another thing, I think it's very well for you ladies to realize from an object-lesson of this sort what spoiled children of our civilization you are. It ought to make you grateful for your privileges." "There is something in that," Mrs. Adding joyfully consented. "Oh, there is no civilization but ours," said Mrs. March, in a burst of vindictive patriotism.
How I came to treat him to passes I don't remember; probably I used him as an object-lesson to amuse Carry. All I recollect is that I gave him a key to hold, and made him believe that it was red-hot and burnt his fingers, or that it was a piece of pudding to be eaten presently, thereby making him howl and grin alternately.
These stalwarts of the latest class were loaded with horns and noise-machines. Defiance exhaled from them. It was an impressive object-lesson on the evils of Freshman victories.
The burning at the stake of Giordano Bruno, in the year 1600, was, for example, an object-lesson well calculated to restrain the enthusiasm of other similarly minded teachers.
So England recruited and officered a kind of militia force of 1,000 uniformed civilians called the "New South Wales Corps" and shipped it. This was the worst blow of all. The colony fairly staggered under it. The Corps was an object-lesson of the moral condition of England outside of the jails. The colonists trembled. It was feared that next there would be an importation of the nobility.
We've been getting after the individual private smugglers pretty sharply this summer and we've had lots of criticism. If we could land a big fellow and make an object-lesson of the extent of the thing I believe it would leave our critics of the press without a leg to stand on. "At least that was why I was interested in the letters.
I can conceive that a teacher who told a class to sit still for three minutes and think about anything they pleased, and added that he would then have something to tell them, might have an admirable object-lesson in getting them to consider how swift and far-ranging their fancies had been; or again he might practise them in concentration of thought by asking them to think for five minutes on a perfectly definite thing to imagine themselves in a wood, or by the sea, or in a chemist's shop, let us say, and then getting them to put down on paper a list of definite objects which they had imagined.
The Duchessa laughed. "An object-lesson," she agreed. "An object-lesson in might n't one call it the science of Applied Cynicism?" "Science!" Peter plaintively repudiated the word. "No, no. I was rather flattering myself it was an art." "Apropos of art " said the Duchessa. She came down two or three steps nearer to the brink of the river.
