Girls' Education Commonplace Book Ada N. KenneyABAA

Commonplace Copy Book of a Young Woman in School

18482532Brimfield MA 1848. Columbian Writing Book #7 Designed for Use in Schools. Blue stitched paper wraps with flag and manicule motifs to front cover and general directions for proper handwriting on rear cover. Completely filled and comprised of 20 densely written manuscript pages in ink and pencil created by Ada N. Kenney of Brimfield Mass who leaves her ownership information in pencil on the front wrap. A lovely and fascinating historical document tracing both the method by which a young woman developed her hand as well as how such lessons served the additional purpose of indoctrinating her into socially-appropriate femininity. Ada Kenney's copybook contains a neat and precise hand throughout which suggests that she was educated and belonged to the rising middle class. Meticulous and organized Ada breaks her book into two clear sections. The first 9 pages contain precisely copied and repeated sentences such as "Assiduity in labor produces fame and fortune" "Cherish sentiments of charity towards all men" "Discretion of speech is superior to eloquence" and "Immodest words are in all cases indefensible." As the lines get repeated 19 times each in the alphabetical order dictated by the first word it is clear that Ada is being trained in an elegant cursive. Yet the content of the lines and their repetition also serve as lessons to her about the value of female silence virtue and chastity. By the second half of the book Ada commits another 9 pages to carefully copying out poetry; and here her choices push up against the demure repetitions of the previous pages. "Long Fanny Gray" "The Troubedour" Gaily the Troubadour Touched his Guitar and "Highland Mary" are each ballads of romance and flirtation love and loss. These selections suggest a burgeoning interest in courtship and men as well as women's expressions of desire and jealousy. By the final 2 pages Ada shifts into much less organized quotations jotting down random lines of poetry in French and English alongside several names of friends and relatives. A fascinating and valuable historical document with research potential including but not limited to paleography education theory and practice gender studies literature and poetry and the transmission of folk tales and folk music. unknown books

Girls' Education Commonplace Book Hattie PleggeABAA

Composition Copy Book of a Young Girl including poetry from suffragist Frances Willard and from Oliver Wendell Holmes

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. 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. 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. Roud Folk Song Index 326. Ballads for Little Folk 47. unknown books

Pandemic Education Ethel ClarkABAA

Diary documenting her rise to adulthood while surviving a flu pandemic working to complete her education and entering a more modern world as a working woman

19274222Southern U.S. 1927. Small ledger bound in pebbled leather over card measuring 7.5 x 4.5 inches. With events taking place across Tennessee Virginia Washington DC North Carolina and other Southern states this journal is comprised of 118 handwritten pages unfolding across a decade. The ledger was clearly a plaything of Ethel and her siblings in earlier years as they have left childish handwriting and notes dated 1911 to the pastedowns and endpapers. However the main content unfolds from 1916-1927 as Ethel claims the book for her diary and leaves us an account of how a girl moved from her teenage years and into womanhood while the world radically changed around her. Ethel's tone in her opening entry is a reminder that teenage angst and ennui are not new inventions. "April 25 1916. I write this on a Wednesday. Nothing happened. Same old thing school school school." Despite feeling the sameness of her days it doesn't take long for Ethel to open up about the variety of experiences and feelings that really do shape her time. Revivals and Red Cross meetings take up multiple evenings after school; and she loves to read as an escape novels include escapist and sensational romances like George Barr's Nedra 1905 though she describes it as "same old life reading." By 1918 she also starts attending Patriotic Meetings as she reports "Germany's advancing" a concise announcement that is surrounded by news of boys she knows joining their companies and a string of weddings in advance. Global realities hit on the same week she begins school again in September for her observation "first week of school Don't think the lessons will be very hard" is immediately followed by reports of larger hardships a month later: "All the schools are closed on account of the flu. Several people have died with it. Duey Hines was buried yesterday she died in Richmond.in a hospital.Marton Sneed was buried yesterday.he died in Charlotte of Flu." Ultimately the flu grips her in a way the war cannot. "Friday 22 November 1918 Celebrated Armistice.School was opened after five weeks. We went to school for three weeks then it was closed again. December 3 1918. Tuesday all five of us down with the flu." Her December 5 entry is a string of named of friends who died of flu or are badly ailing and she does not write again until the new year. The entries of 1919 reflect a new level of maturity in Ethel's hand and her voice; as a young woman she now has more freedom and more mobility and she seems rejuvenated by drives and visits with friends new dresses and fashions picnics and shows. Several nearby locations have moving picture shows which seem to replace the Revivals in her heart and her schedule. As she and her friends prepare for commencement in June she reports getting class rings and regalia and a spate of friends' weddings. And then. "January 6 1920. School turned out for the flu Tuesday. A good many cases in town. Uncle Tom sick for two weeks. The flu is awfully bad the people are opening an emergency hospital in our Sunday school." Amidst the tragedy and seeking scapegoats the town erupts in racial violence. "March 8 1920. Arnold's store burned down.negro boy killed last night." In the years the follow Ethel reports courtships getting a job and becoming a modern working woman. She reflects very little on how she was able to gain this freedom but clearly enjoys building a life of her own. A research rich diary with opportunities for studying the transmission of the 1918 flu and its various spikes the role of troops moving through communities in spreading disease the historical relationship between pandemic and education the role of suffrage in expanding women's education employment travel opportunities and genealogy. unknown books
