Dr Kritsonis's "Ways of Knowing through the Realms of Meaning" provides useful guidelines for holistically addressing all facets of Human Resources in an educational setting. This paper will explore the six fundamental patterns of meaning outlined in Dr. Kritsonis's "Ways of Knowing through the Realms of Meaning": symbolics, empirics, esthetics, synnoetics, ethics, and synoptics to provide guidelines to ensure that all aspects of Human Resources in an educational environment are addressed appropriately and implemented effectively and successfully.

1Boy Crusoe

By Allan Eric

Also published as" A Yankee Crusoe" . A 15 year old hard working and studious farm boy finds the lure of adventure on the seas as a merchant seaman more than he can resist. This is his story. " I was born in a little town in the State of Maine, near the close of the Civil War. My boyhood life did not differ materially from that of the average farmer's son in the remote country districts of New England--except, perhaps, that I read more and thought more. Hard work on the rugged soil, two terms each year in the little yellow country schoolhouse, a day's fishing now and then filled the early years of my life full to over-flowing. " What he gets is enough excitement and adventure to overflow his wildest dreams. How he experiences disaster and uses his wits and knowledge to overcome every problem makes for a great read. - Summary by Phil Chenevert
