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.

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
1943277008Kamnik district Slovenia: Tehnika RK VI 1943. 30pp. 8vo mimeographed text with images original tan wrappers with mimeographed cover.<br/><br/> This rare surviving pamphlet from World War II was produced by the Yugoslav Partisans the most accomplished armed resistance movement against the Axis occupation of Europe. Starting out as a guerilla group the Partisans soon created a complete underground society based on Communist principles including schools government and medical institutions financial systems and publishing presses. This pamphlet produced by one such press likely hidden in the mountains or forests of Slovenia addresses an emergent need in such a new clandestine society: that for maps. It proceeds in logical order: geographical vocabulary instructions for making field maps and later more sophisticated and symbolic drafting techniques. Within this technical know-how it also communicates tactical military advice that the Partisan guerillas employed in their battles with Axis armies. This tactical quality of the publication is most in evidence in the pamphlets many striking diagrams which demonstrate the importance of visual knowledge in situations of survival.<BR><BR>This pamphlet was one of many Partisan publications designed to educate protect and encourage members of the movement. It is particularly fascinating for its simple means of production since the secrecy of Partisan operations limited them to mechanical methods such as mimeographs--in witness here--as well as heliotypes linocuts and typewriting. Given its fragility the pamphlet is in excellent condition with clean text. Slight stains and some very small tears in margins. As one of the few Partisan publications on cartography this pamphlet is a rare and fascinating record of the World War II resistance.<br/><br/> Tehnika RK VI unknown books
