Many of the instructions from this military hospital seem badly dated. Here is the entire section on Crying: <br /> "a. While crying is a baby's way of showing that something dissatisfies it don't be alarmed by a moderate amount of crying. See that the baby doesn't need changing see that it isn't too hot nor to sic cold and that it is in a comfortable position. If these things are satisfactory go away and leave the baby alone. Don't pick it up nor walk the floor with it nor rock it in the arms etc. If it seems to have the colic having it lie face down with a hot water bottle beneath its abdomen is frequently all that it needs. Some of the bad habits of childhood are learned in infancy. A baby learns very quickly that it can get what it wants by crying for it.<br /> b.

1930227421930. Japanese-American Hawaii Japanese American military family photograph album 1930s documenting everyday life of a Nisei household in interwar Hawaii and tracing the transpacific connections linking Japanese American communities with Japan and Japanese occupied Manchuria. The photographs record family relationships social gatherings military friendships and overseas travel at a time when second generation Japanese Americans were negotiating identity within both American and Japanese spheres of influence. Handwritten captions written in the first person suggest the compiler was a Nisei man with associations to the United States Army referring to relatives and companions as "My father" "My sis Chiyo" and identifying a group of men in a tropical field as "China Souza Manuel myself Choy" further captioned "Army Buddies." During the 1930s Japanese Americans faced significant barriers to military advancement on the mainland United States yet Hawaii's National Guard accepted some Nisei soldiers prior to the Second World War due in part to the islands' large Japanese population. The album therefore documents a rare prewar moment when Japanese American military participation and family life intersected within the broader social landscape of Hawaii.<br /> <br /> Photo album compiled during the 1930s containing approximately 103 original silver gelatin photographs mounted to brown paper leaves and annotated in ink identifying individuals and locations. Bound in green pebbled boards titled "Photo Album" in gilt on the cover. Each photo measures approximately 2.5 x 3.5 inches to 5 x 7 inches. Album measures approximately 6 x 9.5 inches. The images depict family gatherings beach excursions on Oahu graduations and informal portraits of relatives and friends. Early pages include a graduation photograph of Edna Omatsu and portraits of family members including Uneiko members of the Takayama family Jeanette Ayako and a military dressed man identified as Rob Ogawa. One family group portrait shows individuals wearing leis with the caption "Honolulu - Hakada's Departure to Japan." Several photographs document military friendships and camp environments including the previously noted "Army Buddies" image. A small sequence captioned "Manchurian Trip" records the family's travels through northern China during the period of Japanese control following the establishment of the Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo in 1932 illustrating the mobility of Japanese diaspora families moving between Hawaii Japan and imperial territories across East Asia.<br /> <br /> Interwar Hawaii contained one of the largest Japanese populations outside Japan with Japanese immigrants and their American born children forming a substantial portion of the islands' workforce and social life during the 1930s. Album spine partially detached at front cover with wear to boards; photographs remain clean and crisp with mostly legible handwritten captions. Overall very good condition. Nisei communities balanced participation in American civic institutions with continuing family linguistic and cultural ties to Japan creating networks that stretched across the Pacific. This album documents those connections through scenes of leisure education military companionship and international travel shortly before the geopolitical tensions that culminated in the Pacific War. unknown

1946230681946. Japanese-American Women's Education Postwar Hawaiʻi identified Japanese-American university school girl's photo album. Oʻahu Territory of Hawaiʻi 1946-1950 spanning the years right after World War II. Approximately 260 silver gelatin photographs documenting the daily life friendships education and civic participation of a Japanese American young woman living on Oʻahu in the immediate postwar period. The photographs are mounted in a 9" x 11" woven album with photos cornered in on black board pages. Images range from small snapshot-format prints to larger horizontal photographs. Following Pearl Harbor Hawaii was initially considered a war zone and the Japanese Americans there were subject to heavy surveillance and civil rights violations until the war ended in 1945. This album ranges 1946 to circa 1950 with one loose photograph predating the album by approximately a decade likely depicting the compiler as a child. The compiler is identified by name in captions as Reiko who also went by "Rei" Reiko was a Japanese American college student and Pre-Med Club member residing on Oʻahu.<br /> <br /> This substantial and unusually well-captioned album offers a deeply personal record of Japanese American civilian life in Hawaiʻi following the end of World War II and the lifting of martial law. The first third of the album features extensive handwritten captions frequently identifying individuals locations and events while the latter portion contains fewer annotations but continues the visual narrative of family friendship and place. Reiko's life is documented across academic social and community spheres depicting college friendships Pre-Med Club activities leisure outings and participation in Laulima a Hawaiian community support organization emphasizing mutual aid and collective responsibility. Numerous images record friendships among young women posed confidently in dresses skirts slacks and swimsuits as well as traditional Japanese dress and Hawaiian dress and leis showcasing cross-cultural identity. Family life appears alongside repeated photographs of Lorraine Nakamuta age 2½ likely a relative shown in candid domestic and outdoor scenes some in western attire and a few photos playfully dancing in a straw hula skirt. The album also serves as a visual geographic survey of mid-century Hawaiʻi with identified sites including Halemaʻumaʻu Crater sugar cane fields irrigation infrastructure such as a wooden pipe transporting water Robert Louis Stevenson's hut beaches valleys and residential neighborhoods.<br /> <br /> Public and civic life figure prominently. Several sequences document an Hawaiian beauty pageant as well as floats marching bands and crowds celebrating the Philippine Islands Independence Day Parade July 4 1946 Honolulu situating Japanese American life within Hawaiʻi's broader multiethnic and postcolonial Pacific context. These images underscore the reemergence of public celebration and civic participation after wartime restriction while highlighting interethnic solidarity and shared urban space. Taken together the album constitutes a rare large-scale vernacular record of Japanese American womanhood education and community engagement during the transitional years between World War II and Hawaiʻi's statehood era. The album remains intact and structurally sound with thick board pages and photographs securely attached using original corner mounts. A few photos loose. Minor age-related wear is present including light scuffing to covers. Handwritten captions remain largely legible throughout. Overall very good condition. This album is an exceptional primary-source document for institutional collections offering sustained visual evidence of Japanese American youth culture women's education in the sciences and everyday resilience in postwar Hawaiʻi enriched by named individuals identified locations and detailed contemporaneous annotations. unknown
