17149Girls' Education. Handwritten monthly Teacher's records from November 1873 to April 1883. Teacher's Monthly Reports for Penns Creek School Number 6 in Limestone School District Union County Pennsylvania. Issued by the Department of Common Schools Union Co. Penn. Harrisburg: Benj. Singerly State Printer 1873. Original paper boards. 92 pages. size: 16 x 11.5 in. Ledgers include names of Male and Female students in separate columns. While there is a sharp gender imbalance recorded in the first month 17 boys to 6 girls by the end of the record book there are even numbers of male and female students; and in some months such as November 1877 there are significantly more girl names listed. In the second half of the 19th century there were rapid gains for women's education in the United States as common schools spread over the Northeast and provided public education for both girls and boys. With the growth of common schools and more educational opportunities for girls more women at this time were also working in schools as teachers and headmistresses. <br/><br/>In these ledger books teachers were to record numerous statistics related to their classes including: Names and Ages of Pupils Attendance Lateness and Absence Number of Days Attended Number of Days belonged. Total Attendance for Term Progress and Conduct and Number of Pupils. "So important are the items of statistics under this head that no teacher should be allowed to draw his salary until he has them all currently entered for the month." The teachers were also instructed to record other important statistics including: Number Admitted since first of June til Date Whole Number in Attendance during Month Average Attendance during Month Average Attendance during Term till date Percentage of Attendance Visits by County Superintendent Books Used Pupils without Necessary Books and Certificates and Receipts.

The preface is signed "I.D." i.e. James Duport a popular professor of Greek at the University of Cambridge who had the year before printed a translation of the Psalter which appears here with the BCP as issued under a separate title-page and Ordinal along with the Greek New Testament and Apocrypha the title-page of the New Testament being an insert and the Apocrypha having separate pagination. This is only the second translation of the BCP into Greek following the first by Elias Petley in 1638. There were apparently two settings of this edition produced by printer John Field in the same year under the same title and imprint with priority not established; the present example has line six of the main title-page all in capital letters and the "Alma mater Cantabrigia" device following the last page of the Psalter but while the sun is on the left and the cup on the right of the Psalter title-page device they are reversed on the New Testament title-page apparently indicating that the New Testament is from a variant post-dating the BCP and Psalter.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: Contemporary mottled calf Cambridge-style covers framed in double gilt fillets and panelled in triple gilt fillets with gilt-tooled corner fleurons; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-ruled compartments.<br>Â Â Â Â Provenance: Front free endpaper with early inscription in red pencil: "Gibson's / Queens / Oxon. / 1787."

Cambridge: James Field 1664. 12mo. 1 f 171 1 blank pp. lacks blank leaf k6.<br>Â Â Â Â The mid-17th century was a low point in the history of English typography but in this pair of Anglican religious texts James Field printer to the University of Cambridge produced => a very good example of the printer's art of Greek printing especially in the use of a small point size. The guiding force behind their production was James Duport 160679 dean of Peterborough and master of Magdelene College Cambridge a noted scholar of Latin and Greek and supporter of the university press. The preface to the Book of Common Prayer is signed with his initials and it is established that he was the editor of the Psalms; the texts were almost certainly issued together but are also at times found individually in contemporary binding.<br>Â Â Â Â Field's minute typography here is dense and presented chiefly in double-column format in both works; and instead of woodcut head- or tailpieces and xylographic initials he deploys printer's ornaments to enliven the text at the top of some sections and occasionally elsewhere. => The layout is overall lovely and thoughtful and the printing is extremely clear and precise.<br>Â Â Â Â Binding: Contemporary morocco with covers framed in a single blind fillet; spine with gilt-stamped leather title-label and gilt-stamped compartment decorations.
