19342256New York: The Workers School 1934. <br /><br />Octavo-sized pamphlet measuring 8 7/8 x 6 inches 225 x 152 mm 16 pages in stapled printed wrappers. Laid in is a slightly smaller handbill printed recto only. <br /><br />A pamphlet listing courses available during the Fall 1934 term at the Workers School in New York which was operated by the Communist Party USA. The school offered a staggering number of evening courses in various aspects of Marxism-Leninism economics and history all from the Party's standpoint. The school located at 35 East 12th Street in Manhattan was one of many Workers Schools that the Party operated around the country. That building now consists of co-op apartments that sell for millions of dollars unaffordable by any proletarians. <br /><br />There were also courses in English and Russian along with "special courses" such as "Problems of the Negro Liberation Movement" taught by James W. Ford the CPUSA's candidate for Vice President in the three elections from 1932-1940. Another special course was "Revolutionary Interpretation of Modern Literature" taught by staff members of New Masses magazine including Mike Gold and Joseph Freeman. <br /><br />Tuition for each course was $3. The school emphasized that it wasn't an academic institution and that it "participates in all the current struggles of the working class" including strikes and demonstrations. Nonetheless it was clearly no-nonsense. In a section on attendance the pamphlet states: "Classes begin promptly at the hour set. Regular and punctual attendance is required. Failure to attend two weeks in succession without explanation will necessitate elimination of the student from the rolls." <br /><br />Included with this pamphlet is a handbill for the Workers School highlighting "Courses for Workers." One of the lecturers listed is "Browder" referring to Earl Browder the general secretary of the CPUSA. <br /><br />This pamphlet and handbill are rare. OCLC shows no institutional holdings although it's possible they're included in uncatalogued ephemera collections.<b> RARE</b>. <br /><br />A fascinating insight into Communist education during the Depression years of the 1930s. <br /><br />CONDITION: The pamphlet has some soiling and edge wear to the wrappers as well as rusted staples. Top half of lower wrapper detached from text block. Internally clean and unmarked. The handbill has numerous small nicks and tears. About Very Good overall. The Workers School paperback books

187588991Mystic River Groton Ct 1875. Modest-sized newspaper 33cm. Four pages. Later horizontal fold.

16085Early Women Education. Autograph Letter Signed on verso of a Handbill regarding Ragged Schools April 13 1868. Rev. H. Newton-Vicar of St. michael's Mission Schools Lant Street writes to a donor about the work of the Ragged schools. Verso is a broadside for "The Lant Street Ragged Schools for Boys and Girls Borough Southwark." Reading in part "These Ragged Schools are placed in the midst of the poorest populationin Southwark in are the largest with about 850 attendances daily and the most important in South London." Attendance shows girls far outnumbered boys in the school "Boys in the Lower School Room.167 Girls in the Upper School Room.243.Afternoon Boys.162 Girls.233. The attendants at the Evening School in which more grown persons of both sexes are taught to read and write number about.65." He has made notes in his hand on the broadside portion in part "Ragged Schools male & female." This rare handbill is absent from OCLC Worldcat and considerably more interesting for the first-hand manuscript content regarding the coeducational activities of the school. unknown books

16086Edward Freeman. Autograph Letter Signed. April 2 1873 Somerleaze Wells Somerset England. 4 pages on a single sheet folded. To "My Dear Lord" possibly a Bishop About a teacher who is too talented to be a governess whose name he puts forward as a candidate for headmistress of a new girls' school.<br/><br/>Stating in part "I see your name as a "Patron of the new Girls School to be set up at Manchester." I do not know whether that word is to be taken in the ecclesiastical sense as employing that you have a voice in disposing of offices in it. If so I would venture to recommend a candidate for the place of Head Mistress which I hear that the Committee are going about to fill one whom I am sure you will find it a great gain to put at the head of the new institution. This is Miss Macarthur who has been governess in my house for nearly five years and who is just now leaving us because all my daughters are now grown up. She is in correspondence with Miss Vernon to whom Mrs. Kitchener first spoke of her and she has asked me to say what I can for her to any of the Committee. I think the best witness of my opinion of her is that I have set her to write one of my series of small histories a History of Scotland which I hope will soon be out. She is a woman of powers far above the common and I can witness that she has practiced them well in the only two departments of which I am able to judge namely those of History and language. She is really strong in both; for though she does not actually understand Latin and Greek she knows all about them their relation to French English etc. I am sure she would do credit to the place. We are most anxious to find some post for her more independent than that of a private governess."<br/><br/>Unfortunately Miss Macarthur was not appointed; there being far better qualified candidates competing for this sought after position. She was Margaret A.R. Macarthur born in Scotland in 1842 and was the author of 'History of Scotland' in Freeman's Historical Course for Schools. It would be interesting to find out what happened to her. In fine condition. unknown books

16088Edith Mary's Head Teacher and Mother Superior of a Girls' School Describes Living through the Blitzkrieg. Autograph letter signed Dec. 22 1940. Letterhead of Ascot Priory Ascot Berks. Berkshire England To Mr. William Nourse. The Mother Superior writes this missive on living through the Blitz with a school of girls under her care.<br/><br/>".I appreciate the kindness of our friends more than ever this year for I know how much financially hit everyone is. I do hope you will have as happy a Christmas is possible Xmas 1941 bring us peace! We have had some bombs unpleasantly near but lately I am glad to say the nights have been much quieter." The Blitzkrieg lasted from September 1940 to May 1941 during which time bombs flown in by the Luftwaffe rained down on London and its environs. Ascot Priory in the pristine Berkshires 60 miles from London was apparently not immune from the devastation. However Sister Edith responds with monastic calm. The Congregation of Religious of the Society of the Most Holy Trinity was founded in 1856 as a sisterhood of nuns dedicated primarily to nursing the sick who could not find treatment in London. They also cared for orphans. In 1933 a girls secondary school was added to the priory and named St Augustine's School. There were about 136 boarders and day girls until it closed operations in 1965. Sister Edith who wrote this letter was fondly remembered by pupils as a PE teacher and by the time of the Blitz as Reverend Mother. unknown books

19245210Washington D.C.: Press of Judd & Detweiler Inc 1924. Octavo 23 x 15.5 cm. 150 pages. Includes list of contributors and index. Advertising in footers and on page 64. First edition. An expansive anthology of six hundred attributed recipes; among the offerings: Navy Punch Hawaiian Punch Waikiki Punch Fruit Punch - all requiring pineapple in some form or other; Ginger Ale Salad Pineapple and Cucumber Salad Pineapple Loaf Salad not to forget Perfection Salad. For relief from pineapple there is Washington City's Favorite Salad with macaroni celery and ham. For luncheon: Maple Tea Cakes Virginia Walnut Cakes Date Cakes Christmas Cakes for those recovered: Pineapple Filling. It may be of interest to note that the single full-page advertisment page 64 is for the recently introduced KitchenAid model H-5 of 1922 the first of its kind marketed directly to home cooks. Calvary Baptist Church emerged during the American Civil War establishing itself in the center of Washington in 1862. It was the locus of the forge for the Northern Baptist Convention in 1907 and calls itself still "the founding church of the American Baptist Convention." Education has been chief among its missions. The origin of the Gardez Class name is not explained but its membership - the 1924 roster appears on page 3 - was exclusively female. It is hard to resist speculation that the name derives from a famous nineteenth-century parable chronicling the life and moral temptations of a young working woman called The Factory Girl or Gardez la Coeur. The fate of the novel's author a surgeon with the 42nd Massachusetts Regiment who had perished at his post in 1863 would surely have resonated with a church whose founding had been so entwined with the Civil War and the Proclamation on 1 January of that year. Bound in gray wrappers splatter stained with blue lettering and images of three steaming soup bowls; bottom corner of front panel chipped; front hinge started.
