El Album de Mi Padrino Album of My Godfather manuscript cover title

12844Various locations in Cuba and Pennsylvania: contents ca 1973. 25 leaves totaling 40pp. illustrated with thirty black-and-white and sepia-toned photographs with detailed manuscript captions plus seven large clippings from school publications and six additional ephemeral items. Oblong folio. Black cloth with alligator-patterned cloth on front board with manuscript title below a drawn representation of a small pennant for Lehigh University. Covers worn frayed and chipped alligator-style cloth curling a bit along fore edge. A few items loose from adhesive and a few with small tears scattered spotting and soiling. Overall very good condition with fascinating materiality. A lovingly-compiled photograph album and memorial book created by a young woman named Magdalena Sofia Guitart in tribute to her godfather Rafael Genó a Cuban engineer who studied at Lehigh University in Pennsylvania. Juan Rafael Genó Rizo was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1883. A doctoral thesis on Cuban architecture found online deems him one of the premiere Art Deco architects of Santiago and the only one to obtain a degree abroad. Genó graduated with a degree in Civil Engineering from Lehigh in 1909 and from the University of Havana in 1913. He died in Miami Florida in 1973. This doting scrapbook was compiled and heavily captioned in Spanish which we hereafter present in translation as a "Memorial which with love and pride I dedicate to my godfather and some of his works; a pale reflection of all the good he has done in his life" by Magdalena Sofia Guitart who was born in 1936 in Santiago and arrived in Miami in 1958. She includes photos of Genó as a baby and a boy of 11 "From a very young age as you can see here my godfather was a little gentleman" as well as in uniform alongside Mexican and Costa Rican comrades at Pennsylvania's Wayne Field. She lauds his "triumphs" and "genius" in "thousands of battles." Genó likely came to the United States following the Spanish-American War during the growth of Cuban immigration resulting from increased American attention of the island country. All of the content in the album is artfully presented within decorative rules or floral borders providing an unusual flair to the presentation. The book displays not only the hand-drawn Lehigh pennant on the cover but also large artistic renditions of the campus and an internal shot of its library clipped from school publications and comparing views from 1873 1909 and 1933 the relevance of Lehigh at the later date is unclear. Additional photographs and decorative designs share the story as "our engineer" returns to Cuba and "begins to demonstrate his knowledge" in the mines of Ponupo. Soon "his hard work integrity and honesty led him to be chosen" for other feats of engineering including "la Iglesia church Los Desamparados constructed by my godfather 1932" and a train terminal in Guantánamo. Images and a photographic clipping laud his renovations of "Colegio La Salle" in 1937. There are also six photos and a clipping showing Genó's work on the altar for the Eucharistic Congress held in Santiago in 1936 during which the original statue of Our Lady of Charity of El Cobre Patroness of Cuba was granted a canonical coronation by Pope Pius XI. The album also holds a clipping naming Genó as president of the Board of Directors of Santiago's Urban Property Center an inauguration ribbon and brochure for the Municipal Food Market in 1950 with which he was also involved and photos of the celebrated engineer later in life. A captivating and carefully-assembled homage created by a Cuban immigrant to the United States honoring a loved one who was educated in Pennsylvania and then returned to his home country to serve as a noted engineer during the first half of the 20th century. contents ca unknown

[Honorable Prostitution] [Economics of Marriage] [Women's Education] [Broadside Ballad]Biblio.com

The Dandy Wife

18285421London: T. Birt 1828. First edition. Single sheet measuring 250 x 185mm and printed in two columns to recto. Some edgewear to margins not affecting text; a bit of foxing and toning largely confined to margins. A scarce and delicate survivor OCLC documents only one example at the National Library of Scotland. The present is the only example on the market. The Dandy Wife is narrated by a man who aimed "to choose me out a loving wife" at the age of twenty-one but whose experience becomes a warning to "all young men of high renown": "If you want a tidy wife Beware of a boarding school." What unfolds is a satire of how the marriage economy is affected when women have access to knowledge -- intellectual and physical -- and how by meeting a man's superficial expectations a woman can fulfill her own more pressing needs. Thinking that a boarding school girl will have the innocence submissiveness and domestic skill he desires the narrator selects a wife from among their ranks. Thinking only of what he can obtain from such a bargain he is unprepared for what an educated woman brings into his house. The Dandy Wife he describes understands the commodity value of her own beauty and material adornment and that these are her key means for acquiring wealth of her own. "She takes one-half of what I earn In drinking gin and tea; Besides such frills and furbelows My Dandy Wife does wear.Her sleeves upon her dandy gown Oh! Lack they're such a size You'd think they were two balloons that in the air would rise." Aside from staying on par with fashion trends her clothing assists her in avoiding domestic tasks she abhors. She refuses to do laundry more than monthly and through ridiculous cooking failures she rapidly establishes that the kitchen is not a showcase for her skillset. Accustomed to a life of learning she is not trained to conduct domestic business. By the ballad's end it becomes clear that the Dandy Wife was savvier in managing a marriage than her husband was. For not only does her superior intellect help her carve out a more satisfying role but she also has physical knowledge that predates him: "The day that I was married I thought I'd got a charming maid But I was much deceived.For scarce five months we'd married been When she had a darling son.

Five pamphlets on Horace Mann's 1844 annual report to the Board of Education including two presentation copies of different editions of the report itself and three responses. Mann had toured Europe with his new wife Mary Peabody and friend Samuel Gridley Howe and studied schools in eight countries with special interest in the Prussian school system. His 1844 annual report comparing American and European school systems was received with great offense by Boston schoolteachers. "A group of thirty-one schoolmasters. . . published a sharply worded critique of his seventh Annual Report" targeting "Mann's recommendations for teacher training as well as his opposition to corporal punishment." However this group "soon faced Mann's wrath in the form of written rejoinders" and were ultimately vanquished when "Mann's allies were elected to the Boston School Committee." Despite the controversy Mann's efforts to "merge the best that he found in European educational systems with the principles of the growing American common school movement" saw remarkable success. Under his direction the Board of Education spent over $2 million on improved school buildings increased teacher salaries by over 50% opened fifty new high schools commissioned uniform school textbooks from Boston publishers and alotted time for student exercise-shaping the public school system as we know it ANB. All the titles in this collection are uncommon in the book trade. unknown

District Record of School District No. B Township No. 14 County of Cape Girardeau State of Missouri.

18924183Cape Girardeau Mo 1892. Very good. 138pp. of manuscript content. Folio. Contemporary preprinted record book with some pages partially-printed and completed in manuscript and some pages with wholly manuscript content bound in three-quarter calf and brown pebbled cloth gilt spine titles. Some abrasions and wear to spine and edges minor rubbing and soiling to boards. Occasional thumb-soiling and light spotting to text. A unique manuscript record book kept by the officials of the school district in Cape Girardeau Missouri in the late-19th century. Over the course of about fifteen years the various sections of the ledger book record the names of school directors a register of teachers a short list of authorized textbooks notes for annual school meetings notes of the proceedings of the school district's Board of Directors lists of parents or guardians and their school-age children taxpayer lists financial reports of the district clerk payments made from the teacher's and building funds lists of incidental charges paid by the school district treasurer's reports teacher's reports and with additional notes oaths the text of teacher's contracts book lists and more on blank pages at rear. Particularly interesting are the detailed notes for the school district's annual meeting and its regularly-held board of directors' proceedings each of which record regular district business but also contain important mentions regarding the segregated educational situation for the local African-American population. The annual meeting notes record the approval of funds for supplies and books summer school costs teacher hires the length of the school term and more as well as activities such as the election of school administrators the construction of new schools and approval of funding for said schools and so forth. Of particular interest is a motion approved at the 1887 annual meeting which reads: "Moved and seconded that the Board of Directors be authorized to sell the land known as school land near the swamp and buy a more suitable piece of land to build a school house for the colored population." Another interesting entry occurs in the notes for the 1889 annual meeting: "The colored foalks of the district ask permission to use their school house for church and sunday school which privilege was given." The notes from the board of directors' meetings contain much the same type of information as the annual school meeting notes but often in more detail. For example the details of the new schoolhouse being built in the late 1870s is described in more specific dimensions than was recorded in the annual meeting notes as is the land to be purchased for it. And as with the annual meeting notes the board of directors occasionally discussed the local African American population. For instance in November 1885 a note from the directors reads: "A resolution made and carried that District No.B Twnshp 14 Range 13 propose to pay their proportion of the tuition for colored children in said District.and that the Clerk.be authorized to issue a warrant.when the bill is presented for the tuition of colored children from District No.B Townshp 12." A similar notation is recorded on the next page during a board meeting in April 1886. At the May 28 1887 meeting of the board they authorized $124.75 "for the purpose of.building a school house for the colored population.to be finished on or before the first day of October 1887 according to contract." At their November 12 1887 meeting the board "examined the colored schoolhouse" and them approved payment for its contractor for the aforementioned $124.75. An entry for July 9 1887 records that a teacher was hired for five months at the white school at a rate of $35 per month; another teacher was hired for the same term but for a teaching position at the "colored school" for five dollars less per month. A similar entry in 1889 notes that the white school teacher would earn $40 per month while the man hired "to teach the colored school" would do so for $30 a month widening the disparity this would persist for the next two years as well. The record book also notes approvals by the board for separate purchases of stove wood for both the white and African-American schools. It is also interesting to observe that the names of African Americans on the enumeration lists listing parents or guardians and their school-age children and the taxpayers' list are noted as "Col." for "Colored." A fascinating record of segregated schooling in action in Jim Crow Missouri. unknown
