16093Education Daily or weekly handwritten reports in many hands on a school in Kent from the years 1863-1939. The logs chronicle the school's development from single gender instruction to a "mixed school" with classes of boys and girls learning together. The final pages of the log detail WWII-era preparations to train students in gas mask procedures and to prepare the school and community to begin receiving the children evacuated from London and other major cities. 9.5 x 8 in. Quarter morocco. 3 volumes each 500 pages. Original cloth boards. Marbled end papers. 2 entries from 1939: "Aug. 30. Time was spent today with fitting gas masks and gas-mask drill. The time table was to a certain extent disorganized particularly in Gps. I & III." "Sept. 1. The evacuation of London children commenced today. The school was hurriedly closed in view of the arrival of parties of children with their Teachers." In the first four days of September 1939 nearly 3000000 people were transported from places identified as vulnerable to quieter more rural sites. <br/><br/>There were opportunities for women to each and girls to learn as the school became "mixed" at the behest of teachers who believed it would be better for their students' academics. 1885: New teacher "Examined Boys in Arithmetic - about 3 passed in standards I to VII. Reading fair but "sing song" manner. Spelling bad except few boys in 1st class. My conviction is that a "mixed school" would bring better results as practically one teacher has 7 standards to teach--which cannot be well done. Average for the week 52 Boys. Discipline is bad." Includes many entries from women teachers such as this entry from July 15 1872. "Entered upon my new duties as School Mistress of the Wrotham National Infant School having been provisionally certificated on the recommendation of my late Inspector.Found the children to be very backward indeed their being several . years of age and knowing only the alphabet; and not one able to read words of one syllable without spelling. The average attendance of the Infants for the week 28.6. The elder girls from the boy's school attending the Infants school . of an afternoon to receive instruction in needlework and cutting out."<br/><br/>Depending on the principal teacher there are daily or weekly handwritten entries on school business including attendance students' progress with academic material such as spelling and Arithmetic and other notes such as interesting lessons. "School Diary or Log-Book. In every school receiving annual grants the managers must provide out of the school funds besides registers of attendance Article 17h-- a A Diary or Log-Book.The Diary or Log-book bust be stoutle bound and contain not less than 500 ruled pages.The principal teacher must maake at least once a week in the Log-book an entry which will specify ordinary progres and the facts concerning the school or its teachers such as the dates of withdrawals commencements of duty cautions illness.No reflections or opinions of a general character are to be entered in the Log-book." Includes several reports from visiting district supervisors on the progress of students. "The Mixed School.Writing-the best taught subject-is good all through the school and the papers are neat and clean generally."<br/><br/>Many issues related to attendance for holidays and seasonal harvests and notes of outbreaks of diseases and illness such as measles whooping cough and scarlet fever. 1863: "P.J. punctual. First Class commenced writing from dictation on paper. School tin as usual at this season of Hay-making. School year commended. Girls visited by Mrs. Gowland." 1877: "Many students have been migratory this quarter roaming from school to school. Leaflets of New Education Act Laws been supplied to the parents of every child attending school." Many new teachers complained on the educational level of students who attended the school. 1887: "Admitted Thos. Skinner 7 yrs old does not know his letter nor can make one average attendance.Admitted John Broad aged 6 ½ not know his letters.Many infants absent through sickness and also being a very cold stormy week of frost and snow."

7079Various formats and sizes. Japan: ca. 1787-96. The Ogasawara School founded in the 12th century laid the foundations of etiquette for the aristocratic and samurai classes throughout Japan for many centuries. The school specialized in teaching horsemanship archery mounted archery and samurai etiquette on and off the battlefield. Over the centuries the school transitioned itself to focus on a system of courtly manners along with skills in archery for ceremonial rituals. The school continues today supervised by the 31st generation leader Kiyotada Ogasawara. The Imperial House of Japan uses Ogasawara etiquette. This fascinating collection is made up of miniature models or samples of materials and objects required and used at formal Ogasawara events in the late 18th century as well as a number of manuscript documents. We begin with ten black paper four-sided folding envelopes each labeled and containing the items below. These envelopes are constructed of thick but flexible paper with string ties. The labels describe the contents of each envelope and have seals and signatures of either "Hisanobu" or "Nobumichi": 1. a miniature paper model of a horo which is worn on the back of a samurai's armor. Our horo is made of folded paper with a silk brocade adornment. Measurements are given in manuscript. With this is a model of the bag to carry the horo; 2. miniature fabric samples of pleated trousers a man's formal kimono and vest along with samples of neatly wrapped objects elaborately tied which were to be carried. They include a sword a fan and a bolt of precious brocade; 3. three miniature tachi swords each for a specific occasion. Our sample tachi are made of wood and have thick thread attachments; 4. two kinds of miniature torches taimatsu along with their holders; 5. a most remarkable miniature wooden bow mounted on a wooden board. A quiver utsubo again made of wood and decorated in gold brocade is also mounted; 6. Six miniature examples of maku gushi poles to hold banners. They are joined by ropes here represented by fine decorative cord; 7. four samples of real hair cut off and tied during genpuku the Japanese coming-of-age ceremony; 8. a miniature target - an opened fan - mounted on a board for the hikime-no-gi the archery ritual; 9. two elaborate folded paper model sacks to protect the bow when it rains kasa yumi bukuro; and 10. seven strands of hay and 12 braided strips of paper kamioki which were used in ceremonies for two- and three-year-old aristocratic and samurai male children. These are accompanied by 69 examples of very complex ceremonial origami or origata. Origata as compared to recreational origami was developed amongst the higher class of samurai who stressed formal manners and a sense of decorum. It is a method of how to wrap gifts with very precious handmade papers used for gift-giving and ceremonies in order to maintain sound human relations. Each is folded in it own way and labeled with its intended contents for example an obi belt confectioneries a brush for calligraphy shark skin for sword handles incense wood a tooth-cleaning stick a fan Chinese silk thread hair ornaments gold dust sumi ink cake perfume belts for inner garments face powder tabi socks various sizes of fine writing paper feathers from hawks and cranes for arrows etc. Some examples of highly complex ornamental ties are also present. Finally there are about 20 contemporary letters all concerned with various aspects of Ogasawara etiquette including gastronomic matters. There is a stiff thick-paper folded cover for a gift signed "Ogasawara Taizen taifu Nagamasa." There is also a packet of miscellaneous related papers. In fine condition and a remarkable survival. unknown books

194128133Camp Tyson Tennessee; Camp David N. C.: various 1941. First Edition. Boards. Good. First Edition. 89 leaves 11-blank 1-63 pp plate 4 1-16 pp 6 pp 26 pp. Blue cloth spine over blue card covers soiling. Mimeographed typescripts. Dampstaining to upper corner throughout. Card covers creased. Previous owner stamp "Property of Nicholas A. Parisi" on front flyleaf. Irregular printing quality. Paper browned throughout. Illustrated. Boards. This sammelband contains five items with no proper title page or index. It is a fascinating variety of material that was used for training in the Barrage Balloon School Camp Tyson Tennessee for WWII. <br/><br/>The first item contains 87 leaves plus two indices detailing ground and air based targets likely to be seen by Balloon operators. This item is maddeningly bound out of order with the indices thrown in haphazardly. Part I contains 30 leaves of ground based targets with everything from a British Infantry Tank MK III "Valentine" to the Panzerfampfwagon III a German medium tank to scout cars howitzer and armored cars. Part II contains 57 leaves identifying various aircraft. The index for this part notes this is part of a "Target Recognition Instructors Course" and lists sixty aircraft. We have not taken the time to sort out if the indices are representative of the contents but spot checks conclude a likely correlation. Each leaf contains one or two pages of commentary on the target how to identify it it's characteristics and sometimes conversational assessments of its usefulness.<br/><br/>Item two in this sammelband is titled "Rigging and Fabric Repair Revised Edition" prepared by Clarence Vladimir Capt. C. A. C. Senior Instructor. Apparently created by the Division of Enlisted Specialists Barrage Balloon School Camp David N. C. 2 63 pages plus one plate it is densely written with illustrations throughout. Much on knot construction.<br/><br/>Item three is "Rigging and Fabric Repair Barrage Ballooon Training Center 1941" 2 16 pages plus one plate and six figures plus definitions. A presumably earlier version of Item two above with less space given over to illustrations.<br/><br/>Item four is "Synopsis of Charts Logs Maps Reports" 6 pages dated on page six 9-19-41 with some hand annotations/additions. Penciled is "D. E. Aldrich 1st Lt" on first page.<br/><br/>Item five is an extensive 24 page Gossary of Barrage Balloon Terms.<br/><br/>We were unable to find any of these items listed in OCLC/Worldcat as of this writing.

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
