Sherman Day Thacher; a Yale-trained lawyer; moved west in 1887; intending to join his brother as an orange rancher in Californias Ojai Valley. However; after accepting a request from a Yale colleague to tutor his nephew; Thachers focus changed from cultivating oranges to cultivating young minds. His small educational enterprise eventually became The Thacher School. Combining unmatched academics with a unique horse and camping program; Thacher has prepared more than 5;000 young men and women to become contributing members of society at the local; state; and national levels since its founding in 1889. With an educational philosophy based around Sherman Thachers precepts of "honor; fairness; kindness; and truth;" The Thacher School continues to be recognized as one of the premier secondary schools in the country.

WellsThis is an easy to read but very basic book regarding a variety of tangible items and symbolic motifs found throughout China. It is not useful as a reference work but is easily read by a senior high school student to gain a basic understanding of unusual (to Western eyes) items and motifs seen daily in China. A good book to read before your first trip to China.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Things ChineseBy Arthur V. RoweI really like this book! It is a pleasure to look thru every time I open it. I find something new to hold my interest the text is well written; and the photographs are amazing. This little; (big) book has become one of my favorites. I will continue to use it as reference; for enjoyment; and as a reference to develop ideas for my art pieces.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
