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. Comprised of 88 pages in ink and pencil blending lecture and reading notes with what appear to be Ida's own drafts of analytic essays practice lesson plans and examination questions. Quarter cloth over marbled boards measuring 5.5 x 8.5 inches. Shelf-wear to extremities and hinges tender but holding. Text block overall tight with mild toning not affecting text. 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.

17017Women Education Photo Album Elmira NY Female College Class of 1862 album. 42 original photographs each aprox 1.5 x 1.25 in. Nearly all photos are identified with handwritten captions. 114 pages 53 pages overall have been used for photos writing or both. All entries dated 1861-1862. Light brown leather boards. 8 x 5.25 in. Titled on cover with gilt design of an autograph book and a quill pen surrounded by ivy "Autographs." The book is full of signatures and small oval portraits of the girls who were the 1862 class of Elmira College. Along with signatures of her classmates the owner of this book has some signatures from people of the town of Elmira New York Augustus W. Cowles President of the collegeand other other instructors. One page has been illustrated with the outline of a pile of letters into which girls have written their names addresses and messages. It would be several decades more before Academic yearbooks as we know them now with photographs and names of individual students and graduates became common. At this time the typical "Annual" was a small catalog that acted as a memento of students attending and also as advertising with general business catalog information concerning the school inside. School photos of any kind were highly uncommon. This student's personally made yearbook containing photographs and names of a large portion of her classmates as well as teacher's and college president is an extremely unique women's educational history item. Leather on spine is mostly absent or pulling away though internal hinges are sound. Good to very good condition.<br/><br/>The New York-area college is the oldest still in existence which granted degrees to women equivalent of those given to man. Elmira College was first conceived on in 1851 with the intention of creating a college that would grant degrees to women equal to those of men. The first students arrived in October 1855 though the rooms had not yet been completely furnished and the furnace was not yet working. Also not all of the students were ready for college-level work. In September 1855 Rev. Augustus W. Cowles visited the campus and the following year was offered the position of president. Vassar's first president modeled the acceptance requirements and curriculum of his school upon those of Elmira. The members of the first graduating class received diplomas in 1859 only 2 years before this album was created. The college faced a difficult beginning. The student body was minuscule; in 1884 only three students were in the graduating class. Two reasons for this situation were the national tumult caused by the Civil War and the opening of other colleges that admitted women. Dr. Cowles believed that a problem was the perception that Elmira was only on the level of a boarding school. He stressed hiring better professors to secure larger graduating classes. . unknown books

16666Women Education Medical School Photo archive of women students at Duke University School of Medicine Class of 1950. Consist of 23 original Gelatin silver print black and white photos. 3 x 4 ¼ inches. c. 1940s-1950. Images show students at work in blood banks in labs studying and relaxing between classes. Includes photos of school buildings such a the Medical School entrance in addition to several instructors. Some include handwritten captions giving a little more information such as a picture of the "Class of 1950" with 8 women and 1 man identified: "Bev Helen Belle Monkey Noni Ann Betty Joann Bill". Other captions include names of doctors instructors fellow students and the type of work being done in images such as "Bev - vaccine" and "Beth Bueliner - Blood Bank". Other photos identify the subject as the Media Lab Chemistry Lab working with EKG and studying Hematology blood. Students outside of medical school entrance. Photos of a quick break grabbing a coffee and snack of animal crackers.<br/><br/>Although women had participated in the informal practice of medicine for hundreds of years there were relatively few women studying medicine in the United States at this time. By 1900 only about a dozen medical schools had opened to coeducation and female graduates often found themselves unable to access training hospitals and professional associations. The trailblazing young women in these photos whom we see performing experiments and examining patients bucked the trend of their generation to become doctors. Early images of women in medicine are very rare and a fine addition to a collection. Very good condition. unknown books
16298Women's Education. Photo Album: Truro Cornwall Teacher Training College. Truro Cornwall UK: 1925-1927. Oblong octavo. Bradbound brown boards patterned for leather effect "Album" stamped in gilt on cover. Modest rubbing to the front hinge and slight bumping at the corners. 164 glossy-finish snapshot photographs of the female college students and their life at Cornwall in a variety of sizes including 3.5" x 5.5" 2.5" x 4.5" 3.5" x 2.5" inches both black and white and sepia. Most are captioned in white ink. Slight warp to some photographs from being pasted to the pages and occasion residue from fingerprints. Beautiful impressionistic portraits of the life of these hopeful young teachers in Cornwall. In addition to the many vivid photos of the teachers going for outings and picnicks "Help yourself to the cream" and lively portraits "the long and short of it" under a photograph of a tall young woman smiling ruefully there are photographs of the ancient city of Cornwall which carry a beautiful spectral quality. <br/><br/>In the 1920s teaching was one of the only pursuits available to women who wanted economic enfranchisement outside of waged domestic service. However there were many restrictions placed on female teachers; The women we see smiling in these photos although choosing liberation in one sense also faced much personal sacrifice. These women had to live morally exemplary lives by the rigorous contemporary standards since they were entrusted to raise the youth. Additionally until 1944 in the UK no married women were allowed to work as teachers. If a woman teacher married she had to resign from her job; if she was already married she was sacked. Some women found a way around the marriage bars by marrying in secret and then living apart from their husband or by having a very long engagement. Most female teachers however remained single in a time when marriage and motherhood signified adult female identity. The tensions between two identities-- that of the professional teacher and that of the feminine woman-- coupled with the influence of the suffrage movement and systematic unfair treatment in the teacher's unions led to teachers becoming some of the most ardent feminists of the movement. unknown books
