19277626Winnipeg Manitoba: Bauslaugh Photos 408 Main St. Winnipeg 1927. Original Photograph. Original silver gelatin photograph panoramic format measuring 16.75 x 7.5. Bears a white inscription in the negative: "CONFEDERATION JUBILEE GORDON BELL SCHOOL PAGEANT 1867-1927" to the bottom-centre and the name photographer's studio "Bauslaugh Photos 408 Main St. Winnipeg" to the right margin. <br /> <br />An utterly charming panoramic photograph capturing the full cast of a large-scale historical pageant held at Winnipeg's Gordon Bell School organized to celebrate Canada's 1927 Diamond Jubilee. The 60th anniversary of Confederation was a massive national event and patriotic school pageants such as the one pictured were a primary method of relating Canadian history civics and the era's concept of national identity. <br /> <br />The cast of students is arranged as a "living map" of Canada's diverse identities. Pictured at the centre are a row of young women in white dresses each personifying the provinces individually holding a shield with their respective coat of arms. The shields for Manitoba buffalo Saskatchewan wheat sheaves Alberta St. George's Cross over mountains and British Columbia Union Jack over a setting sun are clearly visible. Other central figures are dressed as "Britannia" or "Miss Canada" holding the Union Jack symbolizing the young nation's dual loyalties to both Canada and the British Empire. <br /> <br />Surrounding the central figures is a charming and diverse cast of students representing the many peoples comprising the nation. This includes students in Scottish kilts traditional Ukrainian and Polish embroidered shirts and floral headdresses and a young girl dressed in Indigenous regalia portrayed in a typical pageant-style. Other students are dressed as early settlers pioneers and historical figures creating a complete and idealized vision of the nation's multicultural identity. <br /> <br />The photograph was taken by Bauslaugh Photos of Winnipeg located at 408 Main Street very likely related to Bauslaugh & Taylor also of Winnipeg and active in the city between 1911-1915. An invaluable and lovely visual record of 1920's Winnipeg and Canada. Unrecorded in OCLC. Not found in Peel BAC/LAC UoM Archives & Special Collections et al. <br /> <br />Exceptionally well-preserved: the silver gelatin photograph retains strong detail and contrast. There is a short horizontal crease to the right margin extending slightly into the image area. Otherwise the photograph remains without flaws. The inscriptions in the negative remain equally clear and legible. Near fine. <br/><br/> Bauslaugh Photos (408 Main St.), Winnipeg unknown

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." <br /> <br /> 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

Carman D.D. This original Progressive Era dental/medical manuscript documenting the three years of courses lectures and quizzes at the New Orleans College of Dentistry together with Dr. Carman’s visual aid Fletcherism National Mouth Hygiene Association glass plate slide lecture course provide an historically essential group documenting the advances in dentistry dental surgery and oral hygiene in the first 15 years of the 20th- Century. The New Orleans College of Dentistry was founded in 1899 by Drs. Andrew Friedrichs 1857-1921 pioneering oral surgeon and dental specialist; Dr. Louis D. Archinard 1869-1911 an excellent New Orleans dentist focused on offering medical care to the indigent and poor in New Orleans and his brother Dr. John J. Archinard 1870-1909 physician and oral surgeon who was a Spanish-American War veteran. By 1903 the New Orelans College of Dentistry had purchased and outfitted their first building at 831 Carondelet Street where they would operate until a 1908 fire gutted the building forcing the New Orleans College to affiliate and move to Tulane University. Carman 1886-1948 had studied in Houston TX and entered the New Orleans College of Dentistry in 1905 intending to study and learn the latest advances in the field of dentistry. The opening decade of the 20th-Century oversaw tremendous advances including the adapting of electric motorized drills for dentists X-Ray machines for patients awareness of the dangers of bacteria and bacteriological infections new methods of anesthesia for extraction and the revolutionary use of Vulcanized Rubber as base for artificial dentures. The “Index†or contents by Carman detail his divisions and lecture courses into Prosthetic Dentistry including extensive details on Vulcanization Vulcanizing Rubber preparing and constructing bridges and more; Pathology taught by Archinard with emphasis on hereditary diseases descriptions of inflammation assorted diseases necrosis and suppuration; followed by Anatomy - featuring anatomical manikin and original drawings by Carman; as well as Materia Medica Operative Dentistry Physiology Histology by Dr. J.J. Archinard “The Man that Cleaned up Havana Cuba 1898†chemistry metallurgy bacteriology clinical dentistry operative dentistry continued and more. He also includes the dittoed notes on histology with dittoed sections on tooth enamel nervous system tissues retina and crystlline lens and the preparation of tissues for examination with a microscope. Also included in the courses were embryology dental pathology and more. Carman has incorporated the very first test questions as well as printed examples of medical board questionnaires of States from Ohio to Oregon California and the rest of the West. Upon graduation Carman moved to Salt Lake City where he married Nina Richardson 1890-1965 daughter of the first physician in Salt Lake City and operated a successful practice for nearly 40 years out of the “Judge Building†in SLC up to his death of a heart attack in Los Angeles while on vacation. The Tulane School of Dentistry over seen by Dr. Friedrichs operated at Tulane until June 1928 emphasizing oral hygiene and continuing the original mission of providing care to the poor. Unfortunately it always teetered on the brink of financial ruin and closed in 1928. Horace Fletcher 1849-1919 was known during the Victorian and Progressive Eras as “The Great Masticator†and was a well known and influential food and health quackery specialist and author self-promoter and fanatic on his doctrine of “Fletcherism†which believed that all food had to be deliberately masticated and chewed until it turned to liquid. These glass plate slides emphasize and promote his four main advisories on chewing and swallowing but also the results of examining school children’s teeth in Andover MA indicating that nearly 60% of the children had poor or rotting teeth. Slides show the teeth of young children X-Rays of the skulls abscesses proper brushing and care of teeth with two specifically showing entire classrooms properly brushing their teeth.

19323462New York: Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Society 1932. Very good plus. 12pp. on a single folded quarto sheet of green paper. Illustrated. Minor wear. A very rare promotional pamphlet issued by the Woman's American Baptist Home Mission Society touting their missionary work amongst the school-age children in Mexico. The author Dorothy Detweiler writes about the schools supported by the society the state of "Baptist Work in Mexico" and includes sections on the Virgin of Guadalupe Christian Leaders in Mexico the "Anti-Religious Movement" in the country and a rather tone-deaf section on the "False Gods" worshipped by some of the indigenous peoples in Mexico "There are Tarascan Indians in certain parts of Michoacan who believe that God is the sun and who daily hail its rising with an invocation". There are six monochrome photographs reproduced in the text five of which picture Baptist school students such as "Girls at Colegio Howard Dressed as Indian Women with Decorated Gourds" "Class in Manual Training - Tin Work at Colegio Internacional Monterrey Mexico" and Prof. Dworak and Pupils of Rural Course Working with Bees."

18086471Guadalajara: Apud Mariannum Valdez Tellez Giron 1808. Good. Three stitched fascicles totaling 30 manuscript leaves and fifteen printed broadsides and broadsheets completed both in manuscript and in type. Some folded. Straight vertical cuts from foot of one fascicle. Some dust soiling and toning; scattered damp staining and foxing. A few separations along folds of printed sheets. Head of some printed sheets trimmed away effecting some loss. A fascinating combination of printed and manuscript material relating to the completion of Baccalaureate requirements for degrees in divinity from the University of Guadalajara in the early 19th century. Present here are three stitched fascicles each relating to a different student that contain manuscript attestations from the candidates themselves and university professors to the individual's achievements as well as printed copies of their degrees and other official documents from the university bestowing honors upon their recipients. Each recipient was conferred a copy of their degree completed in manuscript and affixed with the printed seal of the university attesting that after four years in the study of "Sacrae Theologiae" he had achieved the rank of Baccalaurens. Then the three students Gabriel Sanchez Leñero Joaquin de Valdecañas and Miguel de Talaveras received different printed broadsheets completed to varying degrees in type and in manuscript according to their specific studies an accomplishments. In all we identify eleven different printed forms and broadsheets none of which are located by Medina or OCLC. Most bear the imprint of Mariano Valdes Tellez Giron the first printer of Guadalajara who worked alone in the city from 1793 to his death from an epileptic seizure at the end of 1807 making the present job work some of the last printing completed by this important printer. Some of the broadsheets printed on two joined leaves and folded into each fascicle have been trimmed at the head with the loss of some material including engraved illustrations. Nevertheless the present documents represent a trove of previously unrecorded early job printing from Guadalajara. Apud Mariannum Valdez Tellez Giron unknown

18393269Natchez Ms. 1839. Very good. Broadside 13 x 15.75 inches. Printed in four columns; central vertical fold. Light wear and toning. In the present broadside the trustees of Jefferson College announce that they are once again prepared to admit students in 1839 following a reorganization and give their mission statement courses of study faculty list tuition fees and more. The school located in Washington Mississippi just north of Natchez opened in 1811 and was the first college in the Mississippi Territory. In the text of this broadside one can clearly see sentiments and dispositions that would bring the Civil War to fruition. The first two columns are chiefly dedicated to a description fo the new faculty and their skills but also new measures put in place during the reorganization of the school. In place of gymnastics a daily military drill was substituted and a military police was to be established "for the preservation of good order and regularity."<br /> <br /> The remainder of the broadside descends into sectional paranoia arguing that students must be kept close to home in order for them to maintain allegiance to Mississippi and the South: "At this very moment a formidable content has commenced between the North and the South from the possible results of which the eye of the patriot instantly revolts. It surely becomes us to preserve our children from any influence that might mislead their judgment or weaken their patriotism. To do this effectually we must keep them at home!. Send your sons to other States where they are relased from social bonds you not only cut off these powerful incentives to emulation but you do more and worse you weaken or detach the growing virtues of the heart. and you estrange them from their native land."<br /> <br /> OCLC locates only a small handful of examples. unknown
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.<br /> <br /> 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."<br /> <br /> 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
