1875002648S. l. New York: F. W. Stewart 1875. First Edition. Very good. First edition; 7 1/2 x 4 3/4; pp. 3-24; beige wraps printed and ruled in black; illustrated with numerous woodcuts; two small chips and a small closed cut to front wrap; a few minor spots to wraps; very good condition. Cameron Mann 1851 - 1932 was an author Episcopal priest the Third Bishop of North Dakota and the First Bishop of South Florida. The Theta Delta Chi Society was founded as a social fraternity in 1847 at Union College New York. Byy the last quarter of the 19th century the society spread rapidly adding charges a term used by TDX brothers to refer to their local organizations rather than the more-commonly used "chapters" throughout the entire country including Stanford Berkeley Brown Tufts UVA Dartmouth Yale etc. The historical poem related to the Civil War was written and delivered by Mann at the closing of the 27th Annual Convention of Theta Delta Chi at a grand banquet at Delmonico's in New York. The illustrations designed by Franklin Burdge combined typography and beautiful unique wood-engraved illustrations to represent the Greek letters by which the charge was known. According to a "Notice to Graduates" at the end of the booklet the engravings were included "partly in order that by an inspection of the wood cuts inserted they may judge of the character of the new Catalog of the Society and have their attention called to the fact that more subscriptions are needed to print it." Not in OCLC not in the trade. F. W. Stewart paperback

Good.</p><p>RARE First Edition.</p><p>Known as "The Father of the Common School Movement" Massachusetts Secretary of Education Horace Mann 1796-1859 offers a fierce defense of his progressive reforms against the opinions of traditionalist schoolmasters. The controversy came about following Mann's publication of his "Seventh Annual Report". Mann a progressive praised the "object method" approach of the Prussian education system over rote memorization. He advocated for teacher training and for the use of positive reinforcement over corporal punishment that was common in Boston schools of the period. His reply was aimed at a group of 31 prominent Boston schoolmasters who objected to his reforms and the feud continued through 1845.</p> Boston: Wm. M. Fowle and Nahum Capen, 1844. paperback

184713175Boston: Redding & Co 1847. First Edition. Softcover. Very good-. Octavo 59pp. About very good in the publisher's printed wrappers. Oil stain to the front wrap moderate internal foxing else a sound clean copy. Smith was a pious Unitarian preacher who was concerned that neither the bible nor the corporal punishment were being used in the new common schools then championed by Horace Mann. Mann the great Progressive took great pains to answer Smith's complaints and their correspondence is printed here. Mann of course believed in non-sectarian education and did indeed advocate a much less enthusiastic use of corporal punishment in schools. Nevertheless this argument nicely represents the strain of Puritanism that he was up against and how he had to both appease and push back against the conservative cultural forces of his day. The pamphlet is scarce in the trade; we found no auctino records in the past century. Sabin 83572. Redding & Co unknown
