194238107Suffern NY: School of Living 1942. First Edition. Staple-bound pamphlet 22cm x 12cm. Printed paper wrappers; 16pp. Very mild toning at extremities else fresh and unmarked; Near Fine. Ralph Borsodi 1886-1977 along with Helen and Scott Nearing and J.I. Rodale is considered one of the apostles of the American "back to the land" movement of postwar era. His School of Living founded in Suffern New York in 1936 provided hands-on instruction to families interested in agrarian self-sufficiency. It also functioned as a loosely communistic co-operative society with sixteen families occupying and farming two-acre plots; land ownership remained with the community. School of Living communities survived in various locations until 1986.<br/><br/>The current pamphlet offers a decentralist plan for permanent peace addressed to "the teachers of mankind." Acknowledges that if we must choose between the American way of life and the one which Hitler would impose upon us American democracy is preferable; but insists that the world's current leaders are incompetent to draft or even conceive a lasting peace settlement following the defeat of Nazism. ".they may be great men in spite of . grave flaws but they are not great enough to be trusted after the war is won when they no longer need to court public opinion in the matter to frame the peace." Uncommon as are most School of Living publications. OCLC notes 7 locations all in North America. School of Living unknown books

Octavo paperbound stapled printed wrappers 8 pp. Very Good with foxing age darkened spotting and shadowed edges. Program for Vineland Day has had its upper cover signed by both James A.

As noted on underside of upper cover: We are fotunate to again have with us on Vineland Day the distinguished President of the Board of Trustees of the AMerican Institute for Mental Studies Pearl S. Buck. She has long been active in work for retarded children. In 1950 she published a small book entitled The Child Who Never Grew -- the story of her own experience with her eldest daughter whose mental growth was retarded. This was written first as an article for the Ladies Home Journal to help parents of other retarded cihldren. It was reprinted in the Reader’s Digest and was subsequently published in more than a dozen languages. This personal narrative has done much to educate the public in the cause of the mentally handicapped. And later in the publication: Today’s Guest of Honor and featured speaker is a person whose talents reflect a great love and understanding of his fellow man. His reputation as a celebrated Pulitzer prize winning author is universally recognized. His deep concern for those deprived in any respect is known as well. A teacher author historian world traveler and humanitarian Mr. Michener attributes his greatest motivation to his boyhood years in Bucks County Pennsylvania. No matter how far his travels have taken him he still refers to this picturesque Quaker setting as “Home Country†and resides there presently. Mr. Michener’s literary works include Sayonara The Bridge at Toko-Ri Hawaii The Source and others. His Return to Paradise was the basis for the long running TV series Adventures in Paradise. Perhaps his best known book is Tales of the South Pacific which was transformed into one of the greatest Broadway musicals ever produced. Mr. Michener’s latest effort Iberia was released by Random House earlier this month. His writings reflect his great perceptiveness which is never obscured by the culture that provides the background for his stories. We of the NJSFWC and AIMS welcome him and are honored by his presence today. American Institute for Mental Studies, The Training School Unit, Wednesday, May 22, 1968. unknown books
