17126African American Education Integrated multiracial grade school. c. 1890s-1910. Original silver gelatin print photograph. Mounted on board 8 x 10 in. Photograph dimensions: 6.75 x 8.75 in. Handwritten in blue ink on verso: "Grade School - St Joseph Mo. / Nina Case - Mother of Ninita P. Johnson & Harry E. Potter Jr." 44 students lined up in three rows with female teacher standing behind the last row. 12 of the students appear to be African-American children. Interestingly there is a large age range in the photograph as the youngest students' feet dangle off the ground while the oldest students appear to be several years older. This photograph comes from a rural school as one student in the front row has attended class that day barefoot. In the 19th century more women than ever before were entering the workforce as teachers; for rural teachers such as the one photographed here conditions could be challenging with as many as 60 students in one classroom and limited resources and support. Still women flocked to teaching as it offered independence and sense of purpose outside. Working in education gave many women a window onto a wider world of ideas politics and public usefulness. Mat condition: Light soiling; small losses to all four corners of mat; 1/4 in closed tear in left top edge of mat. Photograph condition: lightly toned; 1 annotation on front of photograph above student's head "X Nina Case"; otherwise photograph is in very good condition. unknown books

191523929New York City N.Y.: Not Published 1915. John Huston Finley 1863 - 1940 American educator and journalist ".selected as president of the City College of New York CCNY whose board of trustees was dominated by Democrats. Backed by these trustees Finley performed at CCNY a transformation similar to the one he had earlier carried out at Knox College except that in New York there was a greater vocational component to the curricular changes he helped initiate. Also the relocation of CCNY's main center from East Twenty-third Street to its neo-Gothic campus in upper Manhattan came about during Finley's presidency. He worked tirelessly to raise CCNY's status to stimulate student pride and to fight off budget reductions demanded by parsimonius trustees and state officials. Not yet a college known for its student radicalism pre-World War I CCNY and its largely Jewish student body basked in its president's benign presence. Personal warmth and accessibility were Finley's main assets." Marvin E.
