19005954Fulton Pittsburgh 1900. Faux cloth over marbled boards with ownership label to upper left corner with school district and compiler information. Measuring 9 x 11.5 inches and comprised of 22 pages of sketches herbal specimens and sample essays all recto. Firmly bound and with some dampstaining to the lower gutter not affecting text. Representing a range of exercises completed by state normal school student Flora Yagle the book presents researchers with a range of study opportunities including turn of the century pedagogical practice and curricula as well as genealogical and social history work regarding the family structure work and education of first-generation immigrants living on the East Coast. <br /> <br /> One of seven children born to German immigrants Flora Yagle b. 1886-7 clearly grew up in a family that emphasized education and upward mobility. The paper label identifies Yagle as an eighth-year student indicating that she was probably in her early teens when she completed these lessons. Census documents from around the time of her birth and childhood list her father as a foundry worker; and into her adulthood they shift to record him as the general manager of the foundry. Similar ambition was instilled in his children who are documented in census information as students or unemployed during their childhoods with work only appearing in their adulthoods. During Flora's youth she had brothers working as clerks and bookkeepers. By the time of her adulthood she has become a school clerk while her sister has obtained a position as a librarian. <br /> <br /> Part of Flora's training would have been conducted at the Fulton Elementary School located in Pittsburgh's Highland Park. A neighborhood for the rising middle class Highland Park and its schools were still in their infancy while Flora was in hers; while the residential district had been opened in 1879 the school was founded in 1894 and both intended to provide fresh air open spaces and pleasant living to skilled workers and their families who were flocking to Pittsburgh for its work opportunities. Historically Pennsylvania had been a vanguard for public and progressive education. "In his 1830 address to the state legislature Governor George Wold championed the cause of universal public education" as a scaffold for "the security and stability of the individual privileges we have inherited from our ancestors" Explore History. Before the decade was over "more than 1000 local school districts under a single statewide system of instruction" had been founded working to regularize "educational standards curriculum and instructional credentials" in tandem with the 1857 Normal School Act which founded "a network of ten state academies to prepare public school teachers" Explore History. <br /> <br /> Flora's generation was a beneficiary of these policies. Her notebook shows a range of work with creativity and visual arts central to her learning. In addition to pressed floral specimens likely from the school grounds or her home garden her book also contains a visual and textual representation of the spectrum of colors in a rainbow; illustrated lotus blossoms with a short essay on the botanical facts and cultural uses of the flower in Egypt; black and white sketches focused on perspective and shading; geometrical figures designed to be cut out and folded but here present; and figure drawings of children in Victorian clothing much like she and her classmates would wear. <br /> <br /> US Census 1890 1900 1910 1920. unknown

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

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
