[edit]Could use some categories and stub categories, but I'm not sure where to begin ...--Rbeas 18:12, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
Location of McD's home
[edit]According to William H. Seymour (Story of Algiers, p.23), "McDonogh's home was situated in the square bounded by Adams, Jefferson, Jackson and Homer streets." These were streets in Algiers as of 1896, but three of those street names have since changed. Does anyone know which present-day streets those are? -- Muffuletta 05:39, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
- Never mind. That chunk of land was gobbled up by the Mississippi River in the late 19th century. Ain't there no more -- Muffuletta 16:13, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Deleted some, need more
[edit]In my recent edit I deleted this list of McDonogh's "Rules for Living" ...
- Remember always that labor is one of the conditions of our existence.
- Time is gold; throw not one minute away, but place each one into account.
- Do unto all men as you would be done by.
- Never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.
- Never bid another do what you can do yourself.
- Never covet what is not your own.
- Never think any matter so trivial as not to deserve notice.
- Never give out that which does not first come in.
- Never spend but to produce.
- Let the greatest order regulate the transactions of your life.
- Study in your course of life to do the greatest possible amount of good.
- Deprive yourself of nothing necessary to your comfort, but live in honorable simplicity and frugality.
... just because I don't feel we have enough of an article yet to devote that much space. There's a lot more to add, like the McDonogh Day ceremonies, and the 1954 McDonogh Day boycott, and maybe list (or link to) some McDonogh schools. Definitely need more about the school in Maryland. -- Muffuletta 05:39, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
