19544307Philadelphia 1954. About very good. Thirty-five printed and typescript items approximately 150pp. total. Some staples old folds. Scattered contemporary ink stamps. Light toning and minor wear heavier in places. Scattered chipping and occasional short edge tears. A fascinating and scarce group of newsletters pamphlets and ephemera published by the American Friends Service Committee during and after World War II comprising thirty-five printed and typescript items. The Committee administered roughly one third of the camps in the Civilian Public Service system which was established to provide a means of non-military service to religious conscientious objectors during the war and also played a significant role in the anti-draft anti-conscription movement. The first group of material present here includes seven issues of the Civilian Public Service Friends Newsletter. These provide a detailed contemporary account of the overall state of the camps including camp populations incoming "campers" camp openings and closures and the financial situation. The newsletters also include news relating to the administration of the camps and developments regarding their operation and the activities of the interned objectors. Included as well are a promotional report issued on the two-year anniversary of the Service's inception and an elaborate four-page solicitation for donations to the CPS both also issued by the American Friends Service Committee. The issues of the newsletters present are: No. 5 October 30th 1942; No. 6 December 21 1942; No. 8 February 25 1943; No. 9 March 15 1943; No. 10 April 21 1943; No. 12 July 12 1943; No. 13 August 23 1943. A substantial run of a scarce and short-lived newsletter. We locate individually catalogued groups of these reports only at Bethel College and the University of Oregon and not in the Swarthmore Peace Collection.<br /> <br /> A second group of newsletters contains three issues of a weekly periodical Information and eleven issues of its monthly offshoot Information Digest dating December 1943 to July 1945 with two issues from later in 1946. These issues document the administration process of the CPS camps and contain reports on various facets of their operation including finances fundraising working and social conditions religious life and legal issues. Amongst these are reports on internal efforts and negotiations to fund the camps both within the Society of Friends and in partnership with other pacifist religious sects such as the Mennonites who were involved in camp operations. The December 2 1943 issue of Information for example contains a detailed narrative of the negotiation to fund the camps in 1944. The newsletters also contain a wealth of information on developments initiatives and daily life at the camps which include some particularly interesting reports on mental health among internees and on civil rights as the issue related to conscientious objectors but also to racial equality in the United States during the war era. OCLC locates holdings of this periodical at just a small handful of institutions.<br /> <br /> The third group of material comprises four scarce typed reports prepared and distributed by the AFSC during the war regarding the rights of conscientious objectors and their status. Three of the reports address the Selective Service Act and continued amendments thereto concentrating on the portions of the law that applied to religious objectors to military service and changes that affected objectors during the early years of the war. The first these issued in March 1942 first outlines the changes made to the draft law during December 1941 in the wake of the attack on Pearl Harbor and the declaration of war on the Axis powers and then provides an extensive step-by-step procedure for the application process to become a conscientious objector. Two further lengthy "memoranda" explain the rights of conscientious objectors as of December 1942 and March 1943 when each report was produced and gives advice for completing the objector application as well as for preparing supplementary documents and written statements. The other report in this group dated September 1941 gives an outline of the finances and disposition of the Civilian Public Service the system of labor camps for conscientious objectors on the eve of the war including lists of camps already in operation their capacities and statistical charts of objectors already registered and camp populations and assignments. These reports are quite striking as first-hand evidence of the role played by the Society of Friends administration in counseling their members to become conscientious objectors.<br /> <br /> Finally there is an interesting group of Quaker anti-conscription ephemera from World War II consisting of nine pamphlets that outline the pacifist views of the Society of Friends and the reasons behind them. The works go on to detail how these beliefs necessitate the Quakers' refusal to be conscripted into the American armed forces and defend this stance. Two pamphlets deal specifically with the opposition to peacetime conscription which became a political issue towards the end of the war. The individual titles are as follows:<br /> <br /> 1 "Why They Cannot Go to War." Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee 1940.<br /> 2 "Why We Oppose Conscription." Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee 1941.<br /> 3 "United States of America vs. Arle Brooks." Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee 1941. Two copies.<br /> 4 Royden A. Maude. "An Unarmed State." Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee N.d.<br /> 5 Muste A.J. "Conscription and Conscience." Philadelphia: American Friends Service Committee 1944.

192526813London: Friends' Council for International Service 1925. Offprint. Octavo 20.5cm.; bifolium. Fine. <br /> <br /> "The efforts for pressing reforms in the women's prisons of Paris to which Garda Kappenburg has devoted all her time have at last been crowned with success. A committee has been formed of which the Dean of The Faculty of Law Monsieur Barthelemy is Honorary President and Mr. Donnedieu de Vabre Professor of Criminology actual President. A well known lawyer and a woman barrister are secretaries. The scheme of reform worked out at the instance of Garda Kappenburg and afterwards in the course of several personal interviews submitted to the Minister for Justice Pierre Laval seems to have met with complete success." 1925 Annual Report of The American Friends Service Committee. Article first published in the World Outlook Section of The Friend March 1925. Gerda Kappenburg De Hass's dedication to prison reform and the reduction of criminal behaviour through attacking root causes like poverty and lack of social mobility clearly knew no bounds and her unique determination achieved considerable results. Currently there is only a single institutional holding in a US institution NYPL. Friends' Council for International Service unknown
1910List2847Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania; and others 1910. Eleven photographs approximately 7 x 9 ½ 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.<br /> <br /> The Phebe Anna Thorne Model School opened in 1913 under the direction of the College’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 1828–1909 was the only daughter to survive to adulthood and was a philanthropist and supporter of progressive social causes.3 <br /> <br /> The school was part of Bryn Mawr’s Department of Education which trained its students in teaching younger pupils rather than those of highschool or college age – 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. <br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of the history of education especially experimental pedagogy.<br /> <br /> 1 Sherman C.
