18882180Bloomsburg PA 1888. Very Good . Manuscript notebook composed by Ida Sylva Wagner a young woman training to become a teacher at the Bloomsburg State Normal School now Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania between 1888-1889.

Wagner's ownership signature and school information on front paste-down; second ownership signature along with Wagner's later teaching location on rear paste-down. In Very Good condition overall considering its daily class use and apparent usage as a reference guide during Ida's later teaching career.<br/><br/>Established in 1869 the Bloomsburg State Normal School aimed to provide rigorous teacher training to ensure that regional educators could "teach the youth elements of classical education" Bloomsburg University. State census records show that she would have been 22 at the time of this class and that she later moved to Luzerne County to work as a teacher after graduation. This notebook rigorously documents her work in an advanced Practical Teaching course which provided pedagogical methodology as well as requiring students to put methods into practice by designing usable teaching materials. Ida's notebook is roughly divided into sections with blanks separating each; and they include practical notes including Introductory Consideration Foundations and Principles Length of Recitation Object Lessons and Plan of Lessons as well as sample content for lessons such as Primary Reading Primary Numbers and Rules of Grammar. In her hand Ida reflects on the importance of theory and practice noting "The powers of the child which demand the teacher's attention are the physical the intellectual the moral and the spiritual.before knowing can take place there must be something to know and the thing to be known must affect its appropriate sense." This guiding principle clearly shapes the class and Ida's notes show that she is being trained in the "something to know" for example the 15 pages of vocabulary pronunciations and definitions as well as the "affecting its appropriate sense" for example the 46 initial pages on methods for shaping appropriate lessons. <br/><br/>A dense resource with research possibilities including but not limited to the fields of history of pedagogy history of American higher education women's education and employment and gender studies.

16425Historically Black College. 1923. Photo and Memory Album disbound. Lane College. Jackson Tennessee. Album belonging to 1923 graduate Lessie Belle Spann. 90 pages front and back majority filled on 8"x8" pre-printed My Graduation Journal leaves. A detailed and engaging record of Spann's senior year and graduation including numerous photos of campus and friends along with her own hand-written commentary and pen-and-ink embellishments. Some photos cut and pasted within hand-made decorative motifs. Supplemented by ink dedications from her co-graduates as well as programs and artifacts pasted in from the year's events and photo prints of her professors cut and pasted as well. Early HBCU albums are rare especially with such extensive photo and written documentation.<br/><br/>Lane College was originally founded in 1882 as a high school to make "teachers and preachers" of the newly freed slaves. Its founder was Bishop Isaac Lane one of those newly freed slaves who quickly rose in the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church after Emancipation. His founding makes Lane one of the earliest black-founded and run HBCUs. In 1923 at the time of this album Lane was still living and active in the church and the College President was his son James Franklin Lane who is featured in this album in printed photos and other references. Like most of the early HBCUs founded in the wake of the Civil War Lane's early mission focused on primary and secondary education and shifted to higher education in the early 20th century. In the early 1920s a college education was still a goal out of reach for most African Americans due to widespread discrimination economic inequality and the inherent inequality of opportunity endemic in the "separate but equal" doctrine of the 1896 Supreme Court case Plessy v. Ferguson. Historically black colleges and universities played a huge role in advancing equal education opportunities for African Americans including providing the education of 80% of all black American doctors dentists and Federal judges and leading in awarding black Americans with degrees in life sciences physical sciences mathematics and engineering. This album comes with two large approx. 4"x9" inch panoramic photos of students at work in physics and chemistry laboratories. <br/><br/>The owner of this album Lessie Belle Spann was born one of six children to parents Mary Ellen and John Wilson Spann and grew up in Tennessee near to Lane College. Her father was born in 1865 in reconstruction era Mississippi. As a 1923 graduate Spann gave the graduation Oration and was also the class historian. Spann has pasted at least 72 silver gelatin print photographs into this album many of them cut down to portraits from a larger size as well as numerous printed photos likely cut out of a school yearbook. The album pages are detailed and largely complete. One page is ripped down the middle put present. The entire album has been disbound and presents without boards or binding. Original double-punched holes provide an easy method for rebinding or storage. Rare and early artifact of an HBCU unusually complete. unknown books
