Very minor creasing to corners of a few of the tracts. All texts very clean with a few pencil annotations to 1 tract.</p><p>The Fabian Society was founded and it first tract printed in 1884. The Society attracted some of the most prominent radical left of centre thinkers as members and contributors to its publications. It was to become an affiliated organisation of the Labour Party committing itself to gradual change in society rather than revolutionary upheaval.</p><p>Fabian Tracts were the Society's main propaganda and educational material espousing its strategy for social change through intellectual persuasion and incremental reforms. The Tracts chart the Fabian Society's intellectual progress and development and are important source material for early British socialist history.</p><p><strong>This volume is considerably heavier than the average quoted in my store listings and as a consequence the shipping cost will be higher than that quoted in my listing.

3734441<p>Pennsylvania: Published and Compiled by the Port Royal Times et al. 1917; 1925; 1929; 1931. Each program approximately 32pp. general cover soiling or light foxing; overall very good.</p> <p>These four “manuals†— often illustrated with half-tones — portray the educational priorities and societal attitudes of their eras. Each manual lists annual program events and includes ads reflecting contemporary values. From the 1917 World War I program comes a call for patriotism emphasizing the teacher’s role in building resilience amid upheaval. “The Institute will assemble under extraordinary conditions. New problems confront the teacher. Stupendous events are changing the old order… There must come a new order of patriotic service…†emphasizing the teacher’s duty to shape future citizens in a time of crisis.</p> <p>There are ads for educational books and school equipment. Other ads focus on hygiene and discipline including a sewage treatment system to “banish the degrading outhouse that educates children to filthy habits and filthy thoughts. It spreads disease. It undoes the best teaching of the school. It is condemned by everybody. You wouldn’t want to tolerate such conditions at your own home. Dirty tramp use it often. It is marked up with foul suggestions. It causes harmful exposure. It breaks school discipline. It’s important. Don’t wait!†1917 Another ad for Holden Book Covers claims they “Double the lives of textbooks and promote sanitary conditions†1929 underscoring the link between sanitation and education.</p> <p>Also featured are illustrated ads for talent acts who presumably would visit the various schools including the Jackson Jubilee Singers. Reflecting the language and attitudes of the time their promotional copy reads: “There is a subtle witchery in negro singing that charms an American audience. Even when negro voices are untrained their melodies have a fascination all their own. The negroes in America through years of slavery and later years of irresponsible freedom have had a leaven of humor and care-free fun in their lives and relationship with one another. The rhythm and character of their songs form a combination in which are blended joy superstition and religion.†1925</p> <p>An informative glimpse of early 20th-century American educational culture with its concerns for patriotism sanitation and entertainment.</p> unknown

This ca. 1870 broadside captures 19th-century Delaware politics and the era’s spirit of political engagement and reform in American society.</p> <p>On Thursday October 6 the Independent Democratic Voters of Kent County met under the banner of ‘Retrenchment and Reform’ to address key issues. Their main goal was to nominate an Independent Democratic County Ticket that upheld Democratic principles but remained free from factional ties. This ticket pledged to support a ‘wise and economical administration’ of the state government emphasizing fiscal responsibility and good governance.</p> <p>The meeting included supporters of the Democratic Party who called for government reform spending cuts and fair taxation. They backed a tax law to ensure timely interest payments reduce state debt and distribute tax burdens evenly. Members also sought to correct mismanagement in state and county affairs.</p> <p>Prominent figures such as Hon. John A. Nicholson Edward Ridgley Beniah Watson and Elias S. Reed addressed the gathering adding gravitas to the proceedings. The event added a touch civic celebration as the Independent Cornet Brass Band of Dover performed for the gathering. </p> <p>Nineteenth century Delaware broadsides of this size are rare.</p> unknown
