Collection of Esperanto Materials Including Bulletins of the Quaker Group â€œThe Friendsâ€™ Esperanto Societyâ€ and the Indonesian Periodical â€œHinda Esperantistoâ€

1947List2844Austria; Java Indonesia; London England; and Los Angeles California 1947. Sixteen pieces: two â€œFriendsâ€™ Esperanto Societyâ€ bulletins 8 x 12 Â½ inch each; two letters 8 Â½ x 11 inch each; seven â€œHinda Esperantistoâ€ pamphlets 5 Â½ x 8 inch four pages each; two â€œDeclarationâ€ forms 4 x 6 inches; one BES pamphlet 4 Â½ x 6 inches eight pages; one set of tickets for membership information 2 x 5 inches missing one tear-off ticket and one â€œUniversala Ligoâ€ membership card for 1947 3 x 4 Â½ inches. Folded; some chipping and tearing at edges. Overall excellent to near fine. Esperanto is an artificial language created by Polish physician Ludwik Zamenhof 1859â€“1917 in 1887. Zamenhof intended Esperanto to be a universal second language; his experiences growing up Jewish in the Russian Empire among Russian Polish German and Yiddish speakersâ€”all of whom regarded each other at best with suspicionâ€”led him to believe that an easily-learned neutral second language could by contrast inspire unity between all people. Offered here is a small collection of materials related to various Esperanto societies: the â€œBESâ€ a Czech group the Universal Esperanto Association the Friendsâ€™ Esperanto Society the Esperanto Club of Los Angeles and Hinda Esperantisto â€“ â€œIndian Esperantistâ€ based in Java Indonesia. These materials written largely in Esperanto note that most quotes herein are translated are mostly typical club bulletins advertising events announcing membersâ€™ news and reminding the reader of upcoming fees. The BES pamphlet besides advertising its Adresaro member directory solicits donations for a â€œliving monument to Esperantoâ€â€”a headquartersâ€”to be built in PotÅ¡tejn in Czechia â€œin the shape of a five-pointed star which would become a real home for all those who love goodness beauty health truth and progress. The stone-like majestic white building will shine brightly in a beautiful circle from a moderate slope and the fragrant forest behind it will form a charming background.â€ 1932 This utopian vision was likely prevented at least in part by the Nazi occupation of the country. Esperanto speakers including Zamenhofâ€™s family in particular were among their many targets. The effort to purge the universal language from Europe was clearly not successful; a postwar letter from a language teacher in Austria to a gentleman in California included in this collection notes that the Californianâ€™s address had been printed â€œin the magazine â€˜Die Weltspracheâ€™â€ â€“ that is â€œThe World Languageâ€ February 14 1947. Esperantoâ€™s egalitarian and pacifist aims form a large part of its appeal to Quakers. It is unclear whether the Friendsâ€™ Esperanto Society which authored two of the items in this collection is the same as the Kvakera Esperanto-Societo which was founded in 1921 and is still active. The March 1935 bulletin announces the F.E.S.â€™s annual meeting at Friends House in London the headquarters of the Religious Society of Friends in Britain. An obituary for Wilson Henry Sturge the Societyâ€™s Vice President remarks on â€œhis desire for international friendship and understanding through Esperantoâ€ March 1935. The January 1936 bulletin calls members to petition their local Registrar of Education for Esperanto to be taught in high schools a request echoed by the Universala Esperanto-Asocioâ€™s declaration form calling on the United Nations to â€œhelp to spread the use of this language in every possible wayâ€ including supporting its teaching in schools in order â€œto facilitate communication between the peoples of the world and to promote social progress.â€ George R. Thompsonâ€™s letter to the Los Angeles Esperanto Club as its President strikes a similarly idealistic tone. He gives Club members his â€œDecalogueâ€ finishing with an exhortation to: â€œ10. Fix our eyes directly on our dear goal the universal brotherhood of humanity and global peace â€“ through linguistic mutual understandingâ€ August 1 1933. â€œHinda Esperantistoâ€ written by Liem Tjong Hie is somewhat more polemical. Its announcements include news from the Manchurian Federation of Esperantists who proposed to make Esperanto the regionâ€™s official language and â€œto abolish the English languageâ€ Jan-May 1933. It criticizes â€œthe European progressive writersâ€ especially the Hungarian Esperantist KÃ¡lmÃ¡n Kalocsay for making the language more difficult for learners. Liem also writes mysteriously: â€œThe world does not know that the Belgian Esperanto Institute dir. Frans Schoofs Antwerp is a physically rotting company. The shamelessness of the leaders is shown by the fact that they are so heroic in victimizing distant people knowing that they cannot do anything against them. A black mark to the apparent reputation of the leaders!â€ These pamphlets also include side-by-side Indonesian and Esperanto blurbs including a review of a new book for Malaysian Esperanto learners â€“ Esperanto caught on quickly in Asia where it still enjoys widespread popularity. Of interest to Esperantistoj and historians of Esperanto. unknown

Eleven Photographs of Open Air Schools Including the Phebe Anna Thorne Model School at Bryn Mawr College

1910List2847Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania; and others 1910. Eleven photographs approximately 7 x 9 Â½ inch and smaller. With stamps for Brown Brothers Illustrations Bureau and E.J. Reily verso; most with captions verso. Most with chipping and wear at edges; overall good. Open-air schools became popular in the United States in the early 20th century in response to public health crises including tuberculosis.1 Conducting lessons in open-air classrooms reduced the transmission of diseases which allowed many children to attend school despite their often chronic illnesses. Offered here are eleven photographs of open-air schools three of which are identified as the Phebe Anna Thorne Model School at Bryn Mawr. The Phebe Anna Thorne Model School opened in 1913 under the direction of the Collegeâ€™s president Carey Thomas using funds donated by Samuel Thorne in memory of his sister Phebe Anna.2 The Thornes were an affluent New York Quaker family; Phebe Anna 1828â€“1909 was the only daughter to survive to adulthood and was a philanthropist and supporter of progressive social causes.3 The school was part of Bryn Mawrâ€™s Department of Education which trained its students in teaching younger pupils rather than those of highschool or college age â€“ the students in most of these photos are probably in about 4th or 5th grade.3 It also allowed testing of more cutting-edge pedagogical practices: the structure of the school was quite experimental including open-air classrooms outdoor naptime a flexible curriculum and less formal assessment. Of interest to scholars of the history of education especially experimental pedagogy. 1 Sherman C. Kingsley & F.B.
