18512970Philadelphia: G.S. Harris 1851. First edition. Very Good . Original blue printed paper wraps printed to front. Some chipping and creasing to edges but overall intact and undamaged despite being quite delicate. Light scattered foxing throughout. Ownership signature of the college's original dean N.R. Mosely struck out at the top of the Faculty list on page 4; pencil ticks next to the names of several students listed in the catalogue on page 6. Exceptionally rare OCLC lists copies of this Announcement at only 2 institutions.<br/><br/>Only one year after Dr. Elizabeth Blackwell graduated valedictorian and became the first female M.D. in the U.S. the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania opened its doors. Located in Philadelphia it was the only the second school to open with the mission of training women in medicine -- having been preceded by the New England Female Medical College two years earlier in 1848. Founded by Quaker abolitionist and Underground Railroad activists who believed that women could make exceptional doctors "the college provided rare opportunities for women to teach perform research manage a medical school and with the eventual establishment of the Woman's Hospital in 1861 learn and practice in a hospital setting. It was the longest-lasting all-women medical school in the nation until it became coeducational in 1970" Mandell. The present Announcement predates these growths however showing the roots from which they emerged. One year running and the faculty remain largely male because there has yet to be an inaugural graduating class this would come in 1852; but already a female student Hannah E. Longshore is listed as a Demonstrator in Anatomy. Indeed Longshore and her sister Anna would both be part of the inaugural class of the college with the latter going on the author Discourses to Women in Medical Subjects 1897. Indeed the majority of women listed in this catalogue went on to become doctors even when it took time -- as it did for Hannah W. Ellis and Susanna H. Ellis both listed among the graduates of the 1865 class. 12 pages in all this scarce pamphlet contains Officers Corporators Faculty and Students of the school; an Announcement on the school's missions and accomplishments; information on Specialties available; Terms of enrollment; and a list of required Textbooks. It also conveys the excitement optimism and pride of those involved. "The Faculty of the Female Medical College of Pennsylvania are inspired by very different feelings from those that attended their efforts one year ago. Then they were about to enter into an untried path to engage in a great experiment.But that which was an experiment is an experiment no longer.give a woman knowledge commensurate with her natural qualifications enable her to go forth healing the sick and comforting the afflicted and she will bless the world." A rare survivor documenting that pivotal moment when women had been given the chance to prove their intellect rose to the challenge and made the future of the next female students more secure.

15405African-American Education Pair of photographs depicting the first Catholic elementary school that educated girls of color both free and enslaved which was located at the oldest black parish in the United States St. Augustine's Catholic Church. Circa 1840. Albumen photographs 7" x 5" inches one mounted on board and the other unmounted. The unmounted photo is captioned in cursive at the bottom edge "Catholic School Manderville La". Both photographs show African American nuns assembled with male and female students in front of the school. Religious instruction was one of the few accessible paths to an education for African-Americans in the mid-19th century. At a time when literacy was considered a dangerous advantage the Catholic School at Manderville is notable not just for educating children of color but including girls among that calculus as well as children of both the freed and the enslaved. The property on which the Catholic School of Saint Augustine Church stood was originally part of a plantation owned by Claude Treme who subdivided his estate and sold off large tracts to free blacks and others on a first-come first-serve basis; the school itself was likely founded by Henriette Delille a free woman of color and Juliette Gaudin a Cuban worshippers at St. Augustine's Church who devoted their lives to aiding slaves orphan girls the uneducated and the sick and elderly among people of color. Their particular concern for the education and care of black children aided greatly in the founding the city's early private school for the colored. <br/><br/>Widespread illiteracy among Afrcan-Americans was a cornerstone of white supremacy in the South. The objections to slave literacy were threefold: 1 Slaves did not have the mental capacity for education and would only become confused; 2 Slaves might learn to forge passes to non-slave states; and 3 Insurrection and rebellion might result from slaves reading abolitionist writings. Literacy was so loaded in fact that the new restrictions resulting from Nat Turner's 1842 slave revolt-- only two years after the Manderville Catholic School photographed here was started-- included anti-literacy laws and punishments for slaves who tried to learn to read and write. Yet many African-Americans both free and enslaved found ways around such laws to satisfy their hunger for learning. The main antebellum resource for teaching literacy was the Bible which some whites permitted because they believed the Bible would teach African-Americans about their "divine" role as servants. With the Second Great Awakening which lasted through the 1840s the opportunity for African-Americans to receive an education was greatly expanded by the religious notion that all men and women from every race were in need of salvation and that all redeemed individuals were to be "useful" in God's kingdom; thus clearing the way to a new path for literacy and education among African-Americans through the lens of religious teaching. unknown books

18882180Bloomsburg PA 1888. Very Good . Manuscript notebook composed by Ida Sylva Wagner a young woman training to become a teacher at the Bloomsburg State Normal School now Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania between 1888-1889. Comprised of 88 pages in ink and pencil blending lecture and reading notes with what appear to be Ida's own drafts of analytic essays practice lesson plans and examination questions. Quarter cloth over marbled boards measuring 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Shelf-wear to extremities and hinges tender but holding. Text block overall tight with mild toning not affecting text. Wagner's ownership signature and school information on front paste-down; second ownership signature along with Wagner's later teaching location on rear paste-down. In Very Good condition overall considering its daily class use and apparent usage as a reference guide during Ida's later teaching career.<br/><br/>Established in 1869 the Bloomsburg State Normal School aimed to provide rigorous teacher training to ensure that regional educators could "teach the youth elements of classical education" Bloomsburg University. State census records show that she would have been 22 at the time of this class and that she later moved to Luzerne County to work as a teacher after graduation. This notebook rigorously documents her work in an advanced Practical Teaching course which provided pedagogical methodology as well as requiring students to put methods into practice by designing usable teaching materials. Ida's notebook is roughly divided into sections with blanks separating each; and they include practical notes including Introductory Consideration Foundations and Principles Length of Recitation Object Lessons and Plan of Lessons as well as sample content for lessons such as Primary Reading Primary Numbers and Rules of Grammar. In her hand Ida reflects on the importance of theory and practice noting "The powers of the child which demand the teacher's attention are the physical the intellectual the moral and the spiritual.before knowing can take place there must be something to know and the thing to be known must affect its appropriate sense." This guiding principle clearly shapes the class and Ida's notes show that she is being trained in the "something to know" for example the 15 pages of vocabulary pronunciations and definitions as well as the "affecting its appropriate sense" for example the 46 initial pages on methods for shaping appropriate lessons. <br/><br/>A dense resource with research possibilities including but not limited to the fields of history of pedagogy history of American higher education women's education and employment and gender studies.

18982508N.P. 1898. Brown paper bound composition book comprised of 43 manuscript pages and 6 original crayon drawings by a young girl. First page excised. Ownership stamp of Hattie Plegge used on sheets toward the center of the book; teacher's signature Miss Sewell on nearby middle page. A fascinating and research-rich notebook in which a young girl practiced her hand in ink and pencil by copying out popular song lyrics folk ballads and poetry. <br/><br/>While the composition book of Hattie Plegge contains no overt indication of the girl's geographical location there are signs within her work that point toward the North. Poetry about General Grant and Abraham Lincoln as well as an original crayon drawing of an eagle marked "Union Forever" suggest that her community belonged to the Union during the Civil War. Additionally though she writes no date school year or age in the book her cursive and her drawings suggest that she was under the age of 12 at the time of composition. As she strives to mature her hand Hattie selects a fascinating array of works to copy out with care; and they provide valuable information about the types of music and poetry that were available to an elementary school girl. Some of the selections come from folk songs such as Billy Boy listed in the Roud Folk Song Index. Others were more widely popular tunes of the time including In the Gloaming 1877 On the Banks of the Wabash 1897 and I Guess I'll Have to Telegraph my Baby 1898. Mixed with these are also longer poems. Though Alice Cary's Suppose is listed as a recommended copybook text in Ballads for Little Folk 1874 others take a more adult political leaning as is the case with suffragist Frances Willard's work Grant is Dead copied out twice the second being more careful and Oliver Wendell Holmes' Old Ironsides. Whether the poetic works were provided by a teacher suggested by a parent or chosen by Hattie herself that give a glimpse into the social influences surrounding her. As a reminder that she is in fact a child there are 6 simple crayon drawings interspersed throughout including a Union eagle a donkey and what appears to be a schoolgirl in a cape.<br/><br/>A rich historical document with research possibilities including but not limited to paleography geography and politics in the post-Civil War era the history of education the transmission of folk songs and folk tales the history of music literature and poetry and gender studies. <br/><br/>Roud Folk Song Index 326.

When the United States entered World War II in December 1941 the Navy's African-American sailors had been limited to serving as Mess Attendants for nearly two decades. However the pressures of wartime on manpower resources gradually forced changes; while the Navy remained racially segregated in training and in most service units in 1942 the enlisted rates were opened to all qualified personnel. In 1944 further strides were made when the Navy commissioned the first ever African-Americans officers. Tougaloo College is one of the United States' premier historically black colleges and universities HBCU in the nation. The school was founded in 1869. from 1871 until 1892 the college served as a teachers' training school funded by the state of Mississippi.

1959List920New York: NAACP 1959. Poster on heavy card stock 13 x 10 inches. Some foxing to edges near fine condition overall. Near Fine. In 1959 to commemorate the fifth anniversary of the Brown vs. Board of Education decision the NAACP coordinated a group of celebrations in churches throughout the country to celebrate Freedom Sunday. The effort led by Reverend Edward J. Odom Jr. the NAACP church Secretary involved over 100 local chapters across the country. The celebrations on May 17th were a part of a larger coordinated campaign by the NAACP to register voters raise funds and engage in desegregation projects. Coverage in the mainstream press was scant with several short articles on the celebrations appearing in a range of states including Michigan Alabama and Indiana. <br /> <br /> We find no other record of this poster promoting the event which was produced in New York and can't confirm whether it was distributed to local chapters. Overall a visually striking poster commemorating both the landmark court decision and the role that the church would play in the Civil Rights movement in general. NAACP unknown books

19033158London and Manchester: John Haywood 1903. First edition. Near Fine. Original pictorial boards with cloth to spine. 76 pages. Faint toning to edges of covers but surprisingly clean overall. Early ownership signature of "Sarah Askworth.1906" to the verso of the front cover and overlaid with tape. Lightly toned throughout but otherwise unmarked without the signs of kitchen use common in such books. Scarce in trade OCLC reports no copies of the present work at institutions. <br/><br/>"Around the year 1900 there was a concern about the physical state of the people of Britain. Even though there had been tremendous efforts in the late 19th century to provide better public health housing and education many children were still no more healthy than they had been back in the 1840s. The new Liberal government elected in 1906 passed various measures to try to deal with this problem.and they gave permission for schools to offer meals to their pupils" National Archives. Efforts to consider the link between education and nutrition had begun in the lead-up to the laws however; and the present work is a scarce surviving example of such a cookery. Its compilers note in the preface "This collection of Recipes has been prepared specially for Day and Evening Schools. The instructions of the Education Department.have been embodied." Given the book's brevity it contains a multitude of basic nutritious and locally accessible foods that can be combined for a variety of different meals -- always with an eye to giving growing students the fuel they need to grow and thrive in their schooldays. There is even included a selection of recipes designed for the sickroom when students are ill and need extra care for their health. A research-rich compendium. Near Fine. John Haywood unknown books
18933241Wisconsin 1893. Hawthorne Composition Notebook #774 measuring 8.25 x 6.75". Comprised of 70 densely written pages largely in pencil in a single hand with penmanship maturing as pages go on across three years. Lizzie's ownership signature to the front wrap designates her as 12 years old at the start of her composition in January 5 1891. Resulting genealogy research has identified her as Elizabeth Lizzie Schuh born in Milwaukee Wisconsin in 1879. Census records show that she remained in this area through the end of her life. The present composition book is an opportunity to examine how girls were being educated at the turn of the century in the midwest and how that compares to their counterparts to either coast.<br/><br/>It is telling how little of Lizzie Schuh's preteen lessons are overtly gendered. In many notebooks of this kind from the U.K. and East Coast lessons during this age work to indoctrinate girls into an acceptable femininity even in seemingly innocuous ways. Yet here the lessons seem nearly gender neutral -- a possible sign of coeducational classrooms in her school. Throughout the notebook she writes declarative sentences works on active and passive voice practices tenses and memorizes abbreviations. She composes short essays; in the beginning these tend to focus on some piece of nature such as bees or oranges and they incorporate natural science as well as geographical information. Later essays include original short stories and reports on American figures including Daniel Boone and Andrew Jackson. As she progresses her compositions and her hand move toward adulthood becoming more confident and complex. <br/><br/>Perhaps the largest content focus is on areas of etiquette and behavior -- again a space where one might expect more overt gendering. And yet a section on How to Be Polite for example includes common-sense behavior such as "Try to be kind and unselfish" and "When anyone is writing or reading do not stand behind him or look over his shoulder." Some of the advice seems to encourage a kind of working-class or regional modesty: "Do not talk about dress" and "Do not soil your tongue with slang." Correspondence and letter-writing take up the bulk of the rear of the book. Here Lizzie begins by copying out generic letters likely providing by an instructor so she can learn the formalities both of letters and of posting them; later she imagines letters or copies out letters she herself has written and sent out. These appear to train the children for a variety of relationships including personal and familial communications the management of household and businesses and the maintenance of new acquaintances. <br/><br/>A fascinating glimpse into the language and communication development of a young Midwestern girl as she approached adulthood with research potential including but not limited to English language teaching the intersection among disciplines in elementary and middle school the history of coeducation regional education penmanship and paleography gender studies etiquette and genealogy. unknown books
