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

Scrapbook compiled by Ms. Josie Powers of 124 Jay Street Butte Montana; Vice-President of the Junior class at Butte Central High School Captain of the Girls' Basketball Team. Opens with a pencil sketch on the front-pastedown showing a young woman in a stylish floral dress and high heels holding a young man in a dip and laying a big ol' kiss on him. The caption tells us that this is "Josie in native scenery" and the rest of the scrapbook maintains that spirit of youth and fun -- bold and it seems into everything. Includes clippings from the high school newspaper handwritten notes from her friends prom invitations and a bit of class warfare "Fog horns are not the only things that blow so do some Seniors". Each page is completely full nicely showcasing jokes poems and prayers in many hands as well as the occasional sketch. Photographs nicely capture the hair and clothing styles of the period. Ms. Powers also saved a variety of little artifacts from a wooden ice cream spoon to a lock of hair to fabrics ticket stubs honor roll lists a glass tile and church programs. A quirky energetic amalgam. <br/><br/> hardcover books

179138981791. 13 x 9 inches. Dark brown body colour on prepared paper. Inscribed "N.2.Stück" and "am 9ten Aprill 1791--nach der Natur gezeichnet von JEW" ink collector's stamp "Linel-Smlg. No." followed by pencilled number "1046" all on verso. Provenance: Linel ink collector's stamp on verso.<br/> <br/>A high quality image that clearly is drawn from life as the inscription claims. The artist's use of a dark prepared ground recalls the work of Barbara Regina Dietsch and her family. A search of Nissen's index of artists reveals one possible name: the Swiss artist Johann Emmanuel Wyss 1782-1837. However the maturity and assurance shown in the present drawing would seem to rule him out: he could have been no older than nine in April 1791. 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
