Heavily burdened and cheerless their lives know little of childhood's joys or the benefits of education. For the past five years the Little Mothers Aid Association has thrown some brightness into these grey lives by summer day outings and winter entertainments. Nearly eight thousand children have been taken from the crowded dingy tenements and given a day's happiness in the daisies fields and apple-laden orchards of Pelham Park." According to the organization's mission its members aim "to lighten the unusual and unrequited labors of these children and to promote the home comfort of their families."

The New York Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and DumbABAA

Circular of President and Directors of the Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb.

181820200395New York NY: E. Conrad. 1818. Wraps. A circular that was distributed by the New York Institution for the Deaf and Dumb and its full title is: "Circular of President and Directors of the Institution for the Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb and the Petition to the Mayor Aldermen and Commonalty of the City of New York with their Favorable Report and Patronage &c." It's purpose is to promote and inform the citizens of New York of both its needs and what had already been done for the school by its Board of Directors and the New York City Legislator. Not a public appeal for donation but encourages generosity. It begins with the accomplish that was written by Silvanus Miller Esq. stating that the directors of the school were "impelled by a sense of duty and a desire to promote the welfare of those unfortunate persons committed to their superintending care to make this appeal to a charitable and benevolent public. deprived of their sense of hearing and the power of speech they posses all those sensibilities and affections . and without the fostering care of benevolent instruction and the steady and kind supervision of endearing friends these children must languish in ignorance remain the monuments of negligence of inattention and oftentimes of wretchedness." It continues on to describe some of the education these children will receive such as "the two handed alphabet" sign language and " the knowledge of connexion sic and the significance of the letters to their uses in spelling and reading and the power of arithmetical numbers combinations and actual calculations" along with the belief that these instructions "must be taught early in life." The next part of the circular is the written petition from the school to the legislators of New York City. It draws comparison between London who had recently funded a school for the Deaf and Dumb and New York often calling New York the "London of America". It includes some information on the founding of the school in the prior year 1817 the current amount of pupils and their needs. At the end there is a listing of the resolved items on the petition in which the legislators agreed to fund $500 towards the school as well as to fund ten students' tuition costs not to exceed $40 per student per year and paid the rent on the school room. It concludes with Board minutes thanking the legislators for the funding as well as detail the cost of schooling and tuition at the school. OCLC-0 Aug 2020 16 pgs. Measures 8" x 5" The school is still in existence today and is in fact known as the second oldest school for the deaf in America. It was renamed at some point to The New York School for the Deaf and is currently located in White Plains NY. Disbound from presumably a larger accumulation of circulars covers lacking. E. Conrad. paperback books

Civil War / Confederacy / Education. Hinton Presley Lewellyn Jr. StudentABAA

CIVIL WAR - ERA MANUSCRIPT NOTEBOOK1858 - 1892. Containing Unrelated Writings by Several Members of the Hinton Family of Mecklenburg Virginia

189241503Mecklenburg VA 1892. Sewn gatherings disbound with remanants of perished leather spine. Wear and soiling throughout; some chips occasionally causing minimal textual loss; last leaf quite ragged to inner margin significantly affecting final third of text. Writing in general legible and neat. Good condition withal. 29 leaves of lined wove paper including 4 half-leaves. Lacking first leaf pp 1 - 2 of lecture notes; 4 stubs. Inconsistently hand-numbered throughout.Manuscript notes in ink and/or pencil to recto and verso of leaves with varying amounts of writing per pg. ~1500 words. Some intratextual hand-drawn illustrations and graphs to lecture notes. 11-1/2" x 7-1/2" A notebook that appears to have been intended for lecture notes kept by Presley Llewellyn Hinton Jr. during a science class at Randolph-Macon College from 1858 - 59 but that was employed for several different purposes by other members of his family during the same period and throughout the Civil War. The Hintons were slaveholders owning at least 13 slaves according to the 1860 slave schedule and longtime prominent members of the community. The lecture notes which comprise hand-numbered pp 3 - 30 and 51 - 55 are from lectures taught by B. Puryear Professor of Chemistry and Natural Philosophy; subjects covered include fairly introductory material regarding dew evaporation electricity elements of chemistry hydrogen and nitrogen gas carbon etc. and the like. Following the first section of lecture notes three pages by one of the Hinton parents we speculate Mrs. Hinton detail Presley’s service in the Confederate Army Company A 3rd Virginia Cavalry as well as that of his brother William from 1861 - 63 largely their leave-taking and visits home: “My Son William Emmet Hinton joind the Confederate Army and left home on the 14th day May 1861 to join his company Mecklinburg Cavalry at Lockets Store near Lombardy Grove. Many relatives and friends met . . . to take leave of their dear sons relations & friends who consented with cheerfulness to leave their quiet and happy homes to battle against our enemy the Yankee who are worse than Indian savages Yea to go through all the hardships privations difficulties and attending a camp life. . . . My Son Presley Lewellyn Hinton joind the Confederate Army and left home on the 26th day May 1861 . . . He would have gone on with his brother William but he was not prepared as he had just returned from the University of Virginia . . .” Approximately 15 remaining pages interrupted by the last section of Presley’s lecture notes are filled with a detailed account record of tuition charged for teaching the daughters and some sons of local families which we speculate was kept by the boys’ sister primarily because of the type of lessons taught. These included piano lessons worsted work and samplers grammar arithmetic geography the history of England and philosophy; fees for ink copy books and other supplies are also included. Another account record follows for bonds of some sort in the same hand as other and a love letter from Presley to a Miss Annie fills both recto and verso of the final leaf. Interspersed with these and sometimes written over top in pencil are the youthful scribblings and pencilled math work of James H. Palmer also of Mecklinberg dated 1892; he appears to have used the manuscript for scrap paper. All in all a uniquely faceted manuscript illustrating many aspects of the life of one Virginia family during the Civil War as well as the paper shortages that likely occasioned such thrift. hardcover books

EDUCATION. GEORGE N. SHEPARDABAA

Civil War Veteran School Board Chair Cautions Teacher to Discipline Carefully

189125493".neither have the right to inflict punishment or impose restrictions that will maim or injure the health of the children. As to the particular case under consideration I cannot believe that you are unduly severe or that your restrictions and exactions will hurt a robust stubborn pupil." EDUCATION. GEORGE N. SHEPARD.Autograph Letter Signed as Chairman of the School Board to Mary D. Webster October 5 1891 West Epping New Hampshire. 2 pp. and envelope. Complete Transcript West Epping N.H. Oct. 5 1891Dear Miss Webster Yours of the 3d inst. is at hand. Your school supplies as ordered are sent by mail this morning. We have no Swinton's Second Readers now on hand therefore I put in for you a McGuffy's Second Reader which I hope will serve your purpose. In relation to authority of teachers you perhaps already understand that they have the same as parents while the children are under their care and that neither have the right to inflict punishment or impose restrictions that will maim or injure the health of the children. As to the particular case under consideration I cannot believe that you are unduly severe or that your restrictions and exactions will hurt a robust stubborn pupil. <2> Of course you will be expected to discriminate so as to properly modify your discipline to suit each particular case and be especially tender with such as are weak and frail physically or mentally. Try to place yourself in the same relation to the children under your care and instruction as that of a faithful conscientious mother possessed of good sound common sense who while she loves her children with a true and motherly love is profoundly impressed with the importance and necessity of restraining them and of training them in habits of studiousness and industry as well as all the other useful activities and you will have a guiding principle that will never lead you very far in wrong methods. My decision then is this you have a right in general to deprive a pupil of part of the regular noonday intermission and mid-session recesses to make up delinquencies provided that you substitute a sufficient number of recesses by himself alone. This is indeed a most fitting discipline to apply to a pupil who stubbornly and persistently wastes in idleness the time regularly assigned for study. Yours truly G. N. Shepard Ch. Sch. Bd. of Epping.George N. Shepard 1824-1903 was born in Epping New Hampshire and educated in the public schools and at Hampton Academy. He married Rowena Lawrence Thyng 1823-1911 in 1845.

He was wounded at both the Battle of Fredericksburg and the Battle of Cold Harbor. Afterwards he returned to farming then engaged in the mercantile and lumber business. He was postmaster of West Epping from 1876 to at least 1895 and chairman of the school board from 1886 to at least 1895.Mary D. Webster 1854-1935 was born in New Hampshire. By 1870 both she and her older sister Sarah 1848-1929 were school teachers still living with their parents in West Epping Chester township southeastern New Hampshire. By 1910 the two unmarried sisters still lived together in Chester township but Mary listed her occupation as farming at home. books
