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. J.N. Choate unknown books

188116923<p>Philadelphia: 1881 First edition. The petition was presented to the Department of Education of the City of Philadelphia on March 8 1881. . Original buff paper wrappers with printed title. . Octavo. Wrappers worn away at spine though binding holds firm. Dust soiling to wrappers. Contemporary color pencil signature at top margin of front cover. Small open tear to corner of first leaf at gutter. A very good copy of a scarce item concerning impartial education in schools. Anna Scull 1832 - the principal of the Hunter Girls' Grammar School in Philadelphia was accused by several parents of criticizing Catholicism and promoting the Lutheran Reformation during lessons she taught. The present work contains testimonies by parents and students alleging that Scull had "attacked vilified and abused the faith religion and belief" of Catholic students p. 52. She was also accused of vocally favoring Lutheranism in class by discussing Luther's opposition to the sale of indulgences by Pope Leo X p. 59. The Board of the Department of Education ultimately dismissed the case against Scull stating that they could not "recommend such deference to the religious zeal of any denomination or denominations as would prevent the impartial teaching in our public schools of the prominent facts of history" p. 159.</p>

181946401151Paris, , Didot, Renouard, 1819 ; in-8, broché, couv. beige muette, entièrement non rogné ( Etat de parution). - 117 pp., 1 p. papillon errata. EDITION ORIGINALE EXTRÊMEMENT RARE. Buché. Ecole Mystique de Lyon, p. 145: "" Mauduit a réédité avec soin le Vieillard et le jeune homme chez Alcan en 1928, dont le texte était devenu rare au point d'être introuvable"". Baldensperger pense que le jeune homme de ces entretiens est J.J. Ampère: "" rien n'est plus vraisemblable et ne concorde mieux avec ce que nous savons à cette date de 1817-18, du fils très précoce de Julie Caron et d'A.M. Ampère, né à Lyon le 12 août 1800"". Correspondance des Ampères I, p.36: "" Il a hérité de sa mère la grâce, la tendresse féminine, la verve gauloise, la susceptibilité nerveuse; de son père la puissance de travail ( ...) la curiosité insatiable (.........) Ses lettres à ses amis...sont pleines de toutes les désespérances des Renés romantiques et des aspirations de mystiques allemands. Ainsi Ballanche nomme son fils. Sa profonde affection pour André-Marie ( le père), ses délicates et généreuses attentions pour Jean-Jacques Ampère, auprès duquel il remplaçait un père aussi tendre que distrait, lui en donnaient le droit"". Buche p.146. "
