A different take on the classic Cape Dutch Oil Painting
1954 is the year that marks the commencement of the Bantu Education Act of 1953. This seemingly mundane event of children returning from school takes place in Genadendal; a town that, at the formal end of slavery in the Cape Colony (1838) became a sanctuary for more than 1000 freed formerly enslaved peaple. The town is also known to have had the first teacher's training college in South Africa, founded by George Schmidt of the Moravian Church in the same year
(1838). The college was shut down in 1926 by the colonial goverment who felt that black people were better suited as farm labourers. In 1995 Nelson Mandela visited Genadendal, whose name means "Valley of Grace," and thereafter named his residence at Tuynhuys after the town.
The painting creates bridges that help us to re-understand the histories of education in South Africa. It helps us to frame and situate questions around the future of education, posed within an institutionof higherlearning (University of Pretoria) and the decolonial conversations that the Javett Art Centre is a critical part of.

Scot was the first English writer to denounce witchcraft as a delusion. Cornell owns one of the few extant first editions from 1584, which James I ordered to be burned. This is the 3rd edition, open to illustrations of how to fake torture, including the use of a bodkin with a hollow shaft for pricking suspects and simulating their insensibility to pain.
Math on the ACT can be particularly challenging. It tests advanced math concepts and incorporates tough word problems. Here are four steps to follow when you get stuck on a math problem.
Know the question
Read through the problem and underline the actual question. There may be a lot of information given and upon first reading the question will feel unclear.

Satirical frontispiece of the flight of witches by an opponent of witchcraft persecution. A.D. White called Thomasius “the greatest and bravest German between Luther and Lessing.”
