The book explores the development of teaching from a job for men to a profession for women; the teaching movement of the 1860s that sent some seven thousand teachers South to teach newly freed slaves; and the experience of teaching immigrant children in newly centralized bureaucracies of turn-of-the-century cities. The glories and frustrations of woman's 'true' profession are presented with candor tenderness and wit.". First Edition. Hard Cover.

Letters show when to use the stamps. It was noted that citizens "may use ALL the books of the household to buy processed foods for the household. Anyone you wish can take the ration books to the store to do the buying for you or ours household. Rationing is the controlled distribution of scarce resources goods or services or an artificial restriction of demand. Rationing controls the size of the ration which is one person's allotted portion of the resources being distributed on a particular day or at a particular time.<br /> Rationing in the United States was introduced in stages during World War II with the last of the restrictions ending in June 1947. The Office of Price Administration OPA was established within the Office for Emergency Management of the United States government by Executive Order 8875 on August 28 1941. The OPA had the power to place ceilings on all prices except agricultural commodities and to ration supplies of other items including tires automobiles shoes nylon sugar gasoline fuel oil coffee meats and processed foods. In the summer of 1941 rationing in the United Kingdom increased because of military needs and German attacks on shipping in the Battle of the Atlantic. The British government appealed to Americans to conserve food to help the UK. The Office of Price Administration OPA warned Americans of potential gasoline steel aluminum and electricity shortages. It believed that with factories converting to military production and consuming many critical supplies rationing would become necessary if the country entered the war. The OPA established a rationing system after the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December. The work of issuing ration books and exchanging used stamps for certificates was handled by some 5500 local ration boards of mostly volunteer workers selected by local officials. Many levels of rationing went into effect. Some items such as sugar were distributed evenly based on the number of people in a household. Other items like gasoline or fuel oil were rationed only to those who could justify a need. Restaurant owners and other merchants were accorded more availability but had to collect ration stamps to restock their supplies. In exchange for used ration stamps ration boards delivered certificates to restaurants and merchants to authorize procurement of more products.

Many levels of rationing went into effect. Some items such as sugar were distributed evenly based on the number of people in a household. Other items like gasoline or fuel oil were rationed only to those who could justify a need. Restaurant owners and other merchants were accorded more availability but had to collect ration stamps to restock their supplies. In exchange for used ration stamps ration boards delivered certificates to restaurants and merchants to authorize procurement of more products. Each ration stamp had a generic drawing of an airplane gun tank aircraft carrier ear of wheat fruit etc. and a serial number. Some stamps also had alphabetic lettering. The kind and amount of rationed commodities were not specified on most of the stamps and were not defined until later when local newspapers published for example that beginning on a specified date one airplane stamp was required in addition to cash to buy one pair of shoes and one stamp number 30 from ration book four was required to buy five pounds of sugar. The commodity amounts changed from time to time depending on availability. Red stamps were used to ration meat and butter and blue stamps were used to ration processed foods. To enable making change for ration stamps the government issued "red point" tokens to be given in change for red stamps and "blue point" tokens in change for blue stamps. The red and blue tokens were about the size of dimes 0.63 inches and were made of thin compressed wood fiber material because metals were in short supply. There was a black market in stamps. To prevent this the OPA ordered vendors not to accept stamps that they themselves did not tear out of books. Buyers however circumvented this by saying sometimes accurately as the books were not well-made that the stamps had "fallen out". In actuality they may have acquired stamps from other family members or friends or the black market. U.S. Government Printing Office unknown

I. le Sultan. 1902-1907 1902. 1st Edition . Soft cover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. Original greenish and yellowish wrappers and hardcover 1317/1901-1902 vol. Folio. 335 x 235 cm. In Ottoman script and French. 4 volumes: 144 p.; 4 150 p.; 12 p. 6 folded statistical tables. The third volume lacks its back cover and has a detached front cover with some staining present; the fourth volume shows wear and tear along the edges. First and only editions of these four exceedingly rare volumes form an invaluable collection presenting the earliest statistical tables that shed light on the diseases most commonly and least frequently encountered in early twentieth-century Ottoman Istanbul the causes of death resulting from illness and other factors average life expectancy and the overall health conditions of the city's population. The registers constitute an exceptional data source as the information is systematically disaggregated by religious affiliation Muslim and non-Muslim age and gender and further classified by neighbourhood and season. The statistical data contained in these registers documenting the causes of death in Istanbul and its surrounding districts is based on information compiled from ten divisions of the Department of Health Affairs as well as from major medical institutions including the Sixth Department Hospital Darü'l-Aceze Haseki Nisa Hospital Gümüssuyu Hospital Gureba-yi Müslimîn Hospital Toptasi Bîmârhâne the French Hospital the Jérémie Hospital established by the French Lazarists the Yedikule Armenian Hospital the Russian Hospital and the Italian British and German hospitals. According to these statistics tuberculosis organic heart failure and pneumonia were among the leading causes of death in Istanbul. Infant and child mortality also occupies a prominent place in the records largely attributable to poverty lack of education and inadequate hygienic conditions. Rare surviving copies from the statistical registers known to have been published between 1899 and 1907 specifically those for the years 1902 two issues 1903 and 1907. All these statistical bulletins are extremely rare; according to WorldCat only three copies are recorded worldwide in institutional holdings. <br/> <br/> Daire-yi Umûr-i Sihhiyye = Administration Sanitaire de l'Empire Óttoman, Matbaa-i Osmaniye, Imprimerie Osmanié & Imprimer paperback
