191217318<p>New York: Froebel League of New York City 1912-1915 The date on the employment contract indicates that Ruth Sibley was hired by the Froebel League of New York City as an assistant in the kindergarten in May 1912. The two letters between Sibley and Isabella Goodrich Breckenridge the secretary of the Froebel League indicate that Sibley departed in May of 1914 seemingly for another teaching position. Breckenridge expresses her appreciation for Sibley's work with the organization. It also seems that Sibley took the test for her teacher's license in June of 1913 though it's unclear whether she achieved her license at that time. White tan and buff paper leaves. .

19494129Tuskegee Al: Tuskegee Institute 1949. Very good. vi66pp. carbon copy typescript printed on rectos only. Contemporary red buckram gilt spine titles. Minor soiling and edge wear to boards corners bumped. An official copy of Ruth Boatwright's Tuskegee Institute Masters thesis signed by her advisor Robert Reid and two Tuskegee administrators Dean Alonzo Davis and the Chairman of the Graduate Committee R.W. Brown. As usual the thesis includes an introduction literature review background on the topic and a summary with findings. At the outset of the summary Boatwright states that her thesis was intended "to trace the development of visiting teacher services in the United States and in the state of Alabama so that the findings might be of benefit to persons seeking to make possible the expansion of Negro visiting teacher services in Alabama for neglected Negro boys and girls." Among the reasonable findings Boatwright made include that "Negro visiting teachers get better results in dealing with Negro boys and girls than white visiting teachers" and "There are too few Negro visiting teachers in Alabama one worker for every 3000 children."<br /> <br /> The text is supplemented throughout with maps tables and charts; among the supplemental material are questionnaires employed by Boatwright in her research." The work was later privately printed by the author through Vantage Press in 1975.<br /> <br /> OCLC records just one other copy of Boatwright's original thesis retained by Tuskegee and the University of Alabama holds a copy.
