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

15640Important collection of 43 original vintage photos of the Public School Gardening Movement in Queens New York City 1916-1920. The school gardening movement was a nationwide initiative to create gardens for children peaking1900-1920. The movement integrated many aspects of Progressive Era urban reform including education reform tenement house work and the transformation of the urban environment with Small Parks and City Beautiful. Unfolding in cities across the country including Berkeley Boston Dayton New York Philadelphia and Chicago; it was directly influenced by the educational "nature-study" movement which advocated the study of the natural world the growth of children's gardening programs in Europe and the development of the modern playground. These 43 photos show children planting harvesting watering and carrying their produced under the guidance of teachers. Most are approximately 2"x4" with some bearing dates 1916-1920 and a few with notes or names of those pictured. This collection is particularly relevant today as there is a resurgence of interest in the urban gardening model and the benefit to children of time spent in direct contact with the natural world.<br/> <br/>The leader of the school gardening movement was Frances Griscom Parsons 1850-1923 who created the first example in New York City and helped invent a profession of school garden advocacy. In 1902 she created the "Children's School Farm" on a plot of land in Hell's Kitchen where immigrant children living in congested tenements surrounded by warehouses factories slaughterhouses and the docks could have their own plot of land to grow vegetables. Parsons created the garden to counteract the slum conditions by providing an open space and experience of nature that was so glaringly absent from the neighborhood. However she emphasized that she did not start the farm "simply to grow a few vegetables and flowers." Parsons believed that gardening would teach children values and skills applicable to their lives in the city specifically "brotherhood cooperation self-respect and the dignity of labor." By "playing the part of little farmers" the children would become urban citizens. This was particularly essential as many of them were children of immigrants or immigrants themselves. The farm-which had a deep resonance in the American imagination-was the site of Parson's vision of an idealized city as manifested in her design of the farm into four "boroughs" with the main path named "Broadway" and an government elected among the children. unknown books

194018749Warren County NJ: Franklin Grove School. Near Fine. 1940. First Edition. Hardcover. NOISBN . no dust jacket likely as issued faint diagonal scrape across front cover more distinctive in scanned image than it appears to the naked eye otherwise no significant wear. line drawings glued-in original calligraphy pg. A history of printing with special focus on the process of producing newspapers compiled as a school project by a group of New Jersey students -- junior high-schoolers to judge by the general tone and quality of the prose. The history itself is basic term-paper stuff illustrated with crude drawings and maps but the most interesting reading is the 7-page preface entitled "How We Came To Write This Book" in which it's discussed how the students' interest in newspapers led them to a broader range of inquiry into the development of printing which involved visits to the local newspaper office the county library and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in NYC. They even went so far as to experiment with making their own paper. There is no printer or binder specified although the preface does allude to how this got done: "Miss Weber the teacher typed the book. We spent two days binding it. This was the dummy that we sent to Mr. Earl Miss Weber's friend who offered to reproduce it for us." And a nice job Mr. Earl did too with black pebbled boards a gold-embrossed title and patterned endpapers. There can't have been many of these produced; OCLC locates copies in just two libraries worldwide. . (Franklin Grove School) hardcover books
