19525333Anchorage: Alaska Crippled Children's Association 1952. Duodecimo-size stapled booklet 13.25 x 10.5 cm. ii 1-36 ii pages. Illustrated. Table of contents. Title from cover. Publisher from page i and date of publication from page ii. ~ Second printing. Now with changes in pagination; the "Consent to Print" is on the verso of the title page and the rear contains an order form and advertisements for additional items for sale. The artwork also drawn by "R. Seetomona" depicts the same image of a young woman sitting near a stove but the stylized lettering with title letters formed from images of fish or seal drying on a line is clearer and a bit more complex the young woman's haircut is longer and parted in the middle and the pot on the stove has five heat lines instead of six. All other issues of this work we have examined have had this artwork and have been printed in black on colored wrappers. And all other issues contain an order form in various configurations as well as lists of other items for sale. ~ Eighty attributed recipes gathered from Inupiaq students participating in a school project and electing "to share the profits with the Alaska Crippled Children's Association" page ii. In some cases latitude is required to explain the lack of detail in recipes contributed by children for example: "Owl. Take feathers off from owl. Clean owl and put in cooking pot. Have lots of water in pot. Add salt to taste." But in other cases details are generously given as in the caution provided for Willow Meats with seal oil: "Never eat green stuff on willows" and in another when preparing mouseleaves Pick'Nick: "Maybe the white men don't like them." Other delicacies: Mazue Root Eskimo potato Eskimo Ice cream with reindeer tallow Baked Seal Liver Walrus Stew Oogruk i.e. bearded seal Intestine Soup and Seal Flippers. A cooperative venture between the public Day School in Shishmaref in the far north-on Sarichef Island north of the Bering Strait-and the Alaska Crippled Children's Association founded by a women's organization in Anchorage to fund orthopedic care for some twelve hundred children in Alaska then in dire need. Isabelle B. Bingham b. 1900 and her husband Herbert C. Bingham 1893-1965 were Alaska Native Service schoolteachers who taught in Shishmaref between 1948 and 1956. In 2002 fearing that life would no longer be possible on Sarichef owing to the effects of global climate change the inhabitants of Shishmaref voted in referendum to relocate. But moving a village of five hundred has proved daunting and most residents as well as the school remain on the island as of this writing.

1879028177Philadelphia: American Sunday School Union 1879. 12mo. 7 pages. The only recorded copy in OCLC for this items is at the American Antiquarian Society. If a Sunday School would send $20.80 it would receive 50 items in the catalogue as it states: "contains over 12000 printed pages.with 212 full page large fine engravings." The National Educational Journal in 1879 listed this along with ads which were predominately for religious publications. What this indicates is that basic evangelical religious ideas were interwoven with the primary school educators of the day. The tracts they offered neglected any ideas that black people existed and also often made negative comments about Roman Catholicism. While the modern day reader sees them only as simplistic moral religious tales it is important to know that this was the everyday staple for the vast majority of Americans on the farm or small town.String bound toning to edges crease through center.

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."
