182765175Charlestown MA 1827. Single sheet folded to 30.5 x 19 cm. 4 pp. including a one page manuscript petition signed by 14 citizens two blank pages and addressed on last. An appeal to the school trustees to make available a suitable building for the instruction of 50 or 60 students composed "of youth of both sexes from the different religious societies in Town" to learn sacred music under the guidance of Col. D. R. Newhall of Boston "a gentleman of acknowledged ability." The petition acknowledges that "sacred music being considered a very important part of public worship when well conducted it would seem that every facility should be granted to those who undertake to obtain a knowledge of the science." Donald Nitz' article "The Norfolk Musical Society 1814-1820: An Episode in the History of Choral Music in New England" Journal of Research in Music Education Vol. 16 No. 4 Winter 1968 pp.319-28 discusses the transformation in American musical culture in the first few decades of the 19th century: "A group of reformers composed of clergymen immigrant European musicians and educated laymen made great efforts to bring about this change" to homophonic orthodox English idiom and away from the more "crudely-wrought but highly original and expressive fuguing tunes of William Billings Daniel Read Jacob French and many others." This transformation of the "sacred musical culture" was brought about through the propagation of musical societies and singing schools in small towns throughout New England <br/><br/> unknown books

1850CAT0126Manual Labor School Shawnee Nation Johnson County Kansas 1850. nk on wove paper: 9 ¾ x 7-3/16 in.; strong creases where folded two small closed tears starting with scattered pinholes to creases. Very Good. The document lists the names and ages of four Creek boys and where letters to their parents are to be sent within the Indian Territory: two to Creek Agency and two to Little River Mission. Verso is written "Post Office for Indian Boys"; it is signed by or possibly addressed to Reverend Edward T. Peery superintendent of the Methodist Shawnee Manual Labor School from late 1844 to around 1850. The boys were presumably students at the school which taught religion basic academic subjects and manual labor farming "mechanics" sewing etc. to Native American children from 1839-1862. <br /> <br /> The school was founded by Reverend Thomas Johnson who supported slavery and used slaves at the school. The school briefly served as the second capital of Kansas Territory when the pro-slavery "Bogus Laws" were enacted in 1855. Superin-tendent reports claimed that the children were enrolled willingly by nearby tribes and that each day the student's time was divided equally between instruction and work. Recent scholarship has focused on the darker realities at the school which was supported by the US government as part of efforts to "civilize" tribes relocating after the Indian Removal Act 1830. <br /> <br /> One boy's father is listed as Robert Buckham at Little River in Creek Nation. Buckham's letters from Indian Territory 1841-1844 are held by Cornell University library in their Native American Collection; the finding aid states that he and his wife were unable to have children and planned to adopt "orphans." <br /> <br /> See also Martha B.

1885List405Carlisle: J.N. Choate 1885. Albumen cabinet card 8 x 4 ⅞ inches on slightly larger mount. Very Good. Carlisle Indian Industrial School founded in 1879 was one of the most influential institutions of its type during its existence from 1879 to 1919. The purpose of the school - unlike some predecessors such as the Hampton Normal and Agricultural School which sent American Indians back to their homes upon graduation - was to fully eradicate American Indian culture from its pupils with strict discipline imposed on students who spoke in their native languages. John Nicholas Choate was a photographer from Carlisle whose pictures sought to extol the purported benefits of the Carlisle Indian School. American Indian delegates often visited the school and this picture shows several seated possibly with interpreters. Major James Haworth the first Superintendent of Indian Schools is shown in the photo with an "x" above his head and a note on the verso misspelling his name as James Hayworth. Haworth was an Indian Agent before his appointment as superintendent and it is unclear if this picture was taken before or after his appointment. <br /> <br /> A well preserved example with good contrast and two chips with loss at lower edge good to very good condition overall.

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

15640Important collection of 43 original vintage photos of the Public School Gardening Movement in Queens New York City 1916-1920. The school gardening movement was a nationwide initiative to create gardens for children peaking1900-1920. The movement integrated many aspects of Progressive Era urban reform including education reform tenement house work and the transformation of the urban environment with Small Parks and City Beautiful. Unfolding in cities across the country including Berkeley Boston Dayton New York Philadelphia and Chicago; it was directly influenced by the educational "nature-study" movement which advocated the study of the natural world the growth of children's gardening programs in Europe and the development of the modern playground. These 43 photos show children planting harvesting watering and carrying their produced under the guidance of teachers. Most are approximately 2"x4" with some bearing dates 1916-1920 and a few with notes or names of those pictured. This collection is particularly relevant today as there is a resurgence of interest in the urban gardening model and the benefit to children of time spent in direct contact with the natural world.<br/> <br/>The leader of the school gardening movement was Frances Griscom Parsons 1850-1923 who created the first example in New York City and helped invent a profession of school garden advocacy. In 1902 she created the "Children's School Farm" on a plot of land in Hell's Kitchen where immigrant children living in congested tenements surrounded by warehouses factories slaughterhouses and the docks could have their own plot of land to grow vegetables. Parsons created the garden to counteract the slum conditions by providing an open space and experience of nature that was so glaringly absent from the neighborhood. However she emphasized that she did not start the farm "simply to grow a few vegetables and flowers." Parsons believed that gardening would teach children values and skills applicable to their lives in the city specifically "brotherhood cooperation self-respect and the dignity of labor." By "playing the part of little farmers" the children would become urban citizens. This was particularly essential as many of them were children of immigrants or immigrants themselves. The farm-which had a deep resonance in the American imagination-was the site of Parson's vision of an idealized city as manifested in her design of the farm into four "boroughs" with the main path named "Broadway" and an government elected among the children. unknown books
