1858197991858. Women Employment Pamphlet titled "Remarks on Woman's Work in Sanitary Reform" England. No Date believed to be circa 1858 measures 5.25" x 8.5". 20 pages. Pamphlet discusses the role of women in the field of Sanitary Reform in England and offers a rare look at the advancement for women's employment equality documenting the skills they have the contributions they can make and the overall benefit they have on society. The pamphlet begins by describing tough physical conditions and suffering in England asking: "What can woman do in her domestic and social capacities to remedy these evils" It also breaks down the field of sanitary labor. "The great field of sanitary labor may be divided into two pars: the amelioration of injurious external circumstances and the reform of injurious habits and customs. Of these parts the former belongs principally to man the latter principally to woman." The pamphlet identifies the tasks of woman within this role: "It is for woman in her functions of mother housewife and teacher to effect those urgently needed changes in infant management domestic economy education and the general habits of her own sex without which humanity could never attain to its desired state of bodily perfection through all injurious external circumstances were changes. It is for her to teach and apply the laws of health in her own provinces where man cannot act." OCLC Worldcat locates no copies in US Institutions but two copies in Europe at the University of Edinburgh and the University of Aberdeen at the time of this writing. Binding is slightly chipping but all pages are held together with only minor wear. Overall pamphlet is in very good condition. unknown

Very good. <p>Born in Budapest Stephen Samuel Wise 1874-1949 emigrated to the US when his father accepted service as rabbi of Brooklyn's Congregation Baith Israel Anshei Emes. After completing his studies at Columbia University Wise pursued rabbinical studies under several noted rabbis of the era including Richard J.H. Gottheil Kohut Gersoni Joff and Margolis. He was appointed assistant rabbi of NYC's Congregation B'nai Jeshurun becoming the Congregation's senior rabbi later that year. Taking over as rabbi of Portland Oregon's Congregation Beth Israel he attacked many of the social and political ills facing the country. He soon broke with the traditional reform movement and established his "Free Synagogue" in 1907 launching a movement. Wise was an early supporter of Zionism and laid the groundwork for what became the Zionist Organization of America and served as president of the American Jewish Congress. His good friend Albert Einstein profoundly praised him in a tribute that Einstein presented at the celebration of Wise' 60th birthday. In 1914 Wise co-founded the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People NAACP. Wise early on saw the threat posed by Hitler's rise in Germany and fought to shape U.S. public opinion against the growing German threat leading efforts for a Jewish Boycott of Germany and the creation of the World Jewish Congress.<p>James B. Pond the American impresario and lecture agent who headed the J.B. Pond Lyceum Bureau brought the great Belgian poet Maurice Maeterlinck to America for a series of lectures. The first lecture took place at Carnegie hall on January 2nd 1920. Unfortunately Maeterlinck failed to carry out his intention to lecture in English because of his labored "phonetic" English. He declared his intention to continue his lectures in French and have the translation read by another person. As a result the lecture tour was a failure and lawsuits ensued on both sides.

Serial No. 109-167 Drowning in a Sea of Faux Secrets: Policies on Handling of Classified and Sensitive Information is a March 14 2006 congressional hearing by the House Subcommittee on National Security Emerging Threats and International Relations. It investigated how excessive secrecy and "fake" secrets hinder national security arguing for a shift from "need to know" to "need to share". The hearing examined how over-classification and the proliferation of "sensitive but unclassified" labels created a "sea of faux secrets" that obscured critical information. While excessive secrecy was considered useful during the Cold War it was seen as harmful in the context of modern terrorism as it hides information that if linked could stop attacks. The hearing addressed reports of a secret program to reclassify previously declassified documents. The hearing was chaired by Rep. Christopher Shays focusing on government reform and oversight of national security policies. Government Printing Office paperback
