[Mike Eschman <meschman@etc-edu.com>]

hello,

the books containing the requested quotations are available for free download
from http://www.promo.net/pg/.

using downloaded .txt files from this site, excluding other available formats
and using ONLY .txt files.  please select a quotation from a favored book in
this list of books that illustrates one or more of the following properties :

the individual in society
conflict

these will be corrolated to speech testing.  This speech testing asks students
to repeat certain words, the results are recorded.  a database holds the
records by name and date.  surveys are e-mailed and returned, as in standard
surveys.

the quotations can be used for practice drills with subjects.

we will package and distribute an apache/php/mysql CD using the gutenberg
project and the open source school [http://www.opensourceschools.org/] for
this project.

here's the list of books, from which you may select your quotations,  just cut

This CD is intended to act as a fund raising package and a classroom aide--
each institution should produce at least one local program and make all other
member institutions program packages available for a fee.  20% of the fee is
due the gutenberg project.

i intend to request funding.
