Mann had toured Europe with his new wife Mary Peabody and friend Samuel Gridley Howe and studied schools in eight countries with special interest in the Prussian school system. His 1844 annual report comparing American and European school systems was received with great offense by Boston schoolteachers. "A group of thirty-one schoolmasters. . . published a sharply worded critique of his seventh Annual Report" targeting "Mann's recommendations for teacher training as well as his opposition to corporal punishment." However this group "soon faced Mann's wrath in the form of written rejoinders" and were ultimately vanquished when "Mann's allies were elected to the Boston School Committee." <br /> <br /> Despite the controversy Mann's efforts to "merge the best that he found in European educational systems with the principles of the growing American common school movement" saw remarkable success. Under his direction the Board of Education spent over $2 million on improved school buildings increased teacher salaries by over 50% opened fifty new high schools commissioned uniform school textbooks from Boston publishers and alotted time for student exercise-shaping the public school system as we know it ANB.

This is a delightful book that draws together letters and writings of Morris Elizabeth Yeats and George Bernard Shaw taken from a collection at the Ellen Clarke Bertrand Library at Bucknell University.

Yeats to his sister Elizabeth's Cuala Press and the role of T.J. Cobden-Sanderson in the binding of Kelmscott Press books. Morris's close friend Shaw is represented by his wonderful essay 'The Author's View: A Criticism of Modern Book Printing." Linda Holmes provided 10 charming wood engravings.

Buergin 568.<br /> <br /> <p>In the summer of 1942 the Austrian refugee and music publisher Armin L. Robinson invited ten prestigious writers to work on a new project: an anti-fascist propaganda film that would demonstrate that Nazi ideology violated each of the Ten Commandments. The deal with Metro-Goldwyn-Meyer fell through so Robinson decided to continue the project as a collection of ten novellas. Each writer took one amendment with Thomas Mann leading the charge:<br /> <br /> <p>1. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thomas Mann.<br /> <br> 2. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image. Rebecca West.<br /> <br> 3. Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain. Franz Werfel.<br /> <br> 4. Remember to keep the sabbath day to keep it holy. John Erskine.<br /> <br> 5. Honour thy father and thy mother. Bruno Frank.<br /> <br> 6. Thou shalt not kill. Jules Romains.<br /> <br> 7. Thou shalt not commit adultery. Andre Maurois.<br /> <br> 8. Thou shalt not steal. Sigrid Undset.<br /> <br> 9. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor. Hendrik Willem Van Loon.<br /> <br> 10. Thou shalt not covet. Louis Bromfeld.<br /> <br /> <p>The book was published in December 1943. Reviewers felt that the collection was uneven and overly long but still found much to praise particularly in Mann's contribution. They all felt the moral imperative of anti-Nazi writing: "Here the world's pen is raised against the sword of the super-race" wrote the New York Times. Four years into the war it had become clear that Hitler's conquest of Europe went well beyond territorial expansion and was an assault on civilization itself. <br /> <br /> <p>It is no surprise that Eleanor Roosevelt should own a copy of this limited edition the text of which is taken from the third trade printing. Apart from being married to Hitler's chief opponent Eleanor was an activist whose positive newspaper review of Mann's 1938 book The Coming Victory of Democracy had aided its success with the American public. The Roosevelts received Thomas Mann and his wife at the White House in 1941 and Mann who admired the President's values and speechmaking gave a speech on behalf of his reelection campaign in 1944. This copy of The Ten Commandments bound for the First Lady's personal library is a tribute to the shared principles of those towering figures. Simon and Schuster unknown
