19100012200Union Missouri: Teen Journal Academic Notebook Missouri Student Junior High. Fair with no dust jacket. 1910. Softcover. On offer is a delightful notebook which is at once a journal and academic notebook of a young teenager in Union Missouri in the early 20th century. This book belonged to Florence Flora Schiller 1897-1993 who was born in Union Missouri to Ida Mantles and Charles Schiller. At the time this notebook was written she was a 13 year old middle school student. Schiller lived her entire life in or near Union. She worked in shoemaking until becoming a housewife when she married Frank Herbst 1886-1969 a cabinet maker. They were married in 1932 later in life for both and there is no evidence that they had children. Flora kept this notebook between November 1910 and late April 1911. It is clearly intended to be a notebook recording Floras academic subjects but she blends her academic notes with personal making this journal an insightful look into the life experience of a 13-year-old girl. The book opens with Floras handwritten summaries of her schools Literary Society meetings which includes the names of dozens of her classmates transitions into notes for a history exam to the lyrics of the school song and similarly oscillates back and forth between personal affairs and academic throughout the book. At the end she writes the script for a school play she participated in in the 7th grade. Academic subjects noted include literature mathematics geography history and civics. Throughout the notebook her personality is evident and behind the lessons a reader can glimpse a lively good-humoured child: Examinations/The other night I went to bed/But not to sleep for my poor head/Was filled with a most awful dread/Examinations! /I thought of this and then of that/Of set and sit which goes with sat /I fear my brain has run to fat p12. Many lessons followed a classic rote methodology with focused fact-based questions followed by answers. History lessons were focused very much on American history: What two naval battles were similar in importance The two naval battles that were similar in importance were Paul Jones sea fight and Constitution captures Guerriere p21. Many of the history lesson point to a wider cultural approach to the American experience and philosophy: Peter Zenger editor of New York newspaper dared to find fault with Gov Cosby he was put in prison. When the day for the trial came on hand the judges were surprised to see Hamilton in the courtroom. He declared in a speech that it was not the poor editors fault nor of New York alone. It is the cause of Liberty. Zenger was set free p 81. For a cultural historian this notebook is a fine glimpse into the world of early 20th century mid-west America. Through what is taught to children an observer can discern what the larger community believes is important and values. For an educator this is an excellent example of teaching that took place a century earlier. A genealogist would find the names of classmates a welcome source of information. This small notebook measures 8.5 inches by 6.75 inches and contains 106 pages. It is 100 % complete. The cover is in fairly good condition with some chipping and staining. The binding is sewn and the stitching is extremely loose but all pages are intact. The spine was bound with tape which has worn through in places especially the upper and lower corners. The handwriting is legible. ; Manuscripts; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 106 pages; Signed by Author . Teen Journal Academic Notebook Missouri Student Junior High paperback

1973036493Chicago: Henry Regnery. 1973. An unlikely bestseller and the basis for films in both 1976 and 2007 Sybil first brought attention to child abuse and dissociative identity disorder then known as multiple personality disorder and later and inadvertently to a much broader array of issues a client potentially manipulating a therapist for attention; a therapist potentially using a case for notoriety or profit; clinical misdiagnoses in general particularly of women; and in this case at least the harmful effects of media exposure on mental illness. This copy is inscribed by both the author and by Sybil's therapist Dr. Cornelia Wilbur in the year of publication. Both inscriptions express gratitude for the arrangement of what appears to have been a joint appearance. Together with a copy of the uncorrected proof which lacks both the preface of the published text called "My Extraordinary Friend" in the proof and titled "Sybil" in the text as well as one paragraph of acknowledgments. The proof has notes and phone numbers on the front cover; very good in wrappers. The book has foxing to the edges of the text block and a bit of wear to the spine ends; very good in a very good dust jacket with wear at the ends and corners. Uncommon copies of a ground-breaking book. Unless otherwise noted our first editions are first printings. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Henry Regnery hardcover

1920497<p><strong>Octavo Publisher's blue cloth 263pp. Folding Photo. Rubber institutional stamps on page edges. No other exterior markings. Small tear at top of spine. Back corner bumped. Very Good copy Dr. Flora Murray was the only woman to serve as a Lieutenant Colonel in the British army during the Great War when she founded the Women's Hospital Corps & recruited women to staff it. In Beatrice Harradens preface in the original text she writes "This record of the work of the Women's Hospital Corps in France and especially at the Military Hospital Endell Street is a valuable contribution to the literature of the Women Movement. Dr. Flora Murray and Dr. Garrett Anderson made history at Endell Street. Through their initiative endeavor and efficiency they opened the doors to further fields of opportunity for women physicians and surgeons and not only for medical women but for all women who are setting out or have already set out to conquer fresh territory. We owe them a debt of gratitude the recognition of which will become even more accentuated as the years go on." A very uncommon work.</strong></p> Hodder and Stoughton hardcover
