Peery Edward T. Shawnee Manual Labor SchoolABAA

Manuscript Document with Postal Instructions for "Creek Boys" in Indian Territory

1850CAT0126Manual Labor School Shawnee Nation Johnson County Kansas 1850. nk on wove paper: 9 Â¾ 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. 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. 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."

Small 4to. 37 ff. mostly with newspaper clippings neatly pasted in on both sides 4 ff. in manuscript "Summary of Scores" from 1871-1877 and 1910. Several leaves excised; it is possible that the present album had been re-purposed. On a few of the stubs appear fragmentary MS notations suggesting that the notebook may have once been divided alphabetically. We find on certain stubs "Ai" followed immediately by "Ao" and then several leaves later: "Her. - Hes" followed by "Io." Binding rebacked with smooth calf. In very good condition. Highly interesting homemade album of Cricket Scores available nowhere else specifically documenting the triumphs of three young members of the Blomfield family namely: E.G. Edward George C.J. Charles James and R.T. Reginald Theodore. One wonders if the present album was created in order to promote friendly competition between the brothers two of whom went to Haileybury School and one went to Charterhouse; all three went up to Oxford. There are scores and game synopsis of matches were between Haileybury Charterhouse Marylebone Cricket Club MCC Westminster Trinity College Oxon. Exeter Oxon. and more. One of the more interesting features about the album is that it provides a fascinating record of one family's love of the game: Â¶ Edward George 1853-1885 entered Charterhouse School London in 1865 and transfer upon the School's removal to Godalming in 1872; in 1873 he went to Trinity College Oxon. where he earned a B.A. in 1877 and M.A. in 1879; thereafter he served as Curate of St. Mary's Portsea until 1883 and then Vicar of St. Mark's Woolston until his death in London in 1885. Â¶ Charles James 1855-1928 went to Haileybury School; he underwent military training at Sandhurst and served as an army officer in India Sudan and Natal. He attained the rank of Major General before his retirement in 1917. NB: this individual is not to be confused with a noted architect of the same name b. 1862 d. 1932. Â¶ Reginald Theodore 1856-1942 also went to Haileybury School; he earned his B.A. from Exeter Oxon. in 1880 and M.A. in 1884. He became an architect and was knighted in 1919. He is remembered mainly for his work designing British war memorials. Â¶ The parents of the three young men were Rev. George John and his first cousin Isabella Blomfield of Bow Devonshire whose own father Charles James Blomfield was Bishop of London. Â¶ At the end is a "Summary of Scores" for the years 1871-1877. Following this in a different hand is the year 1910; although the initial of the last name "Blomfield" remains the same the other initials belong to Reginald Thomas and his two sons Henry George and Austin. Â¶ See Stedman Charterhouse Register 1872-1900 passim. CATALOGUER'S NOTE: We are grateful to Catherine Smith Archivist of Charterhouse School for much useful information concerning the Blomfield Family. hardcover books

Education of Children Alnwick Victoria Infant SchoolABAA

Resolutions Passed at a Public Meeting of the Inhabitants of Alnwick held the 15th of August 1838

18382596Alnwick: M. Smith 1838. First edition. Fine. 3 page pamphet measuring 152 x 228mm. Trifolded with ownership signature of Wm. Dickson Esq to rear blank. Else an exceptionally clean and seemingly untouched copy of this rare pamphlet advocating for improvements in the early education of children. The only copy known on the market this title does not appear in the modern auction record or at any institutions according to OCLC. A proposal and prospectus for an Infant School to serve the town of Alnwick and improve the overall level of education within the community. The pamphlet clarifies that the Duke of Northumberland is confirmed as the school's patron; and it outlines how donations and subsciptions from the town will add to the school's endowment. But more importantly it focuses on the communal benefits that will come from citizens' support for children's education regardless of their class. Touting the successes of other Infant Schools in England and abroad in providing "well-regulated nurseries for the children of the poorer classes" the committee also explains that " the most approved system of training will develop the physical powers and improve the health of children from two to six years of age -- to cultivate their intellectual faculties and communicate such knowledge as may be adapted to their infant capacities." The committee asserts that when the larger population begins sending children to school those children will be endowed with a desire to learn and "those attending will feel it as a punishment to be kept from the School" because school "is to the children what the actual business of life is to the man. Here the feelings are manifested and the character is developed" so that infants grow to intelligent and responsible members of the populace. Notably the committee also points out the short term benefits of developing an education system. "To the parents themselves many advantages will accrue from these Schools. Not only will their minds be relieved from much anxiety for the safety of their children but the mother free during the day from the necessity of watching over them will have an opportunity now denied to her of contributing by her labour to their support or of devoting more time to the promotion of their comfort at home." This acknowledgment reveals an important shift in thinking about the economic role of mothers and about women's need for time to accomplish their own work. A rare and important example of the spread of early childhood education and the arguments for its expansion. Fine. M. Smith unknown books

ECOLE DES BEAUX ARTS J. LITOUX architectABAA

Original detailed architectural technical-drawing of the construction of archways titled 'Planchers Combles Feuille III'

185020700Paris 1850. Pencil pen and wash drawing with numerous sub-titles in ink signed "J. Litoux" A fascinating and beautiful architectural drawing - or 'rendu' of basic elements of house construction in cluding walls floors doorways roofs and ceilings. A fine drawing from an architectural student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris the most influential architectural school in existence during much of the 18th century the whole of the 19th century and the first part of the 20th century. 'Students were eligible for the Ecole if they were at least fifteen years old or under thirty. They began with the seconde classe in which they competed in the concours d'Ã©mulation. These alternated between an esquisse - a rough sketch for which up to twelve hours was allowed - and a rendu - the large-scale finished drawing for which one to three months were allowed. Two to four years were usually required for a student to accumulate enough credits to enter the premiÃ¨re classe. The same system was followed again usually for two to three years after which the student should have accumulated enough credits to compete for the Grand Prix de Rome. The winner of the Grand Prix was entitled to five years study under the auspices of the French Academy in Rome. For each of his first three years he was required to submit an analytical study of an ancient monument. For his fourth year he had to submit a complete reconstruction of a major classical work. For his fifth year he was required to submit an original work designed to a program of his own invention. In the seconde classe the student was required to attend a variety of lectures in theory history and construction and learned to prepare construction drawings. Work was done at ateliers located outside the precincts of the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. These were rented and organized by the students themselves and the students had the right to invite a teacher of their own choice to serve as their maÃ®tre. The teacher himself did not have to be a member of the faculty of the Ecole nor - at least in principle - did he have to be a practicing architect.' Arthur Drexler.
