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. Edges stained chip at fore-corner otherwise pages clean and unmarked. Scarce. OCLC reports one copy; Brown 451; not in Cagle. Press of Judd & Detweiler, Inc unknown books
16092Kemble Parochial School Record Book 1871-1904. Kemble Cirencester Gloucestershire. Collection of approximately over 100 documents on approximately 180 leaves many written on both sides comprising the complete records of the Kemble Parochial School. Unbound contained in original protective black cloth boards. Large legal "foolscap" size pages. Comprising both printed Circulars directed to the schools from the Education Department and handwritten copies of records the school was ordered to send as reports to the Education Department. This school is built from grant money received in the wake of the first of the Forster Acts known as the Elementary Education Act of 1870 which made education compulsory in England and Wales for all children aged 5 to 13. <br/><br/> The Forster Acts named for the sponsor of the original bill William Forster brought a sweeping change to elementary education in England by declaring public education for children to be mandatory. It also mandated that the schools should be publicly funded and overseen by regular inspections. The Kemble Parochial school founded at the very inception of this legislation provides a window into the dramatic shift to public education. The first document in this record is a Circular of Instructions and Rules for the construction of a school building. Through the handwritten retained copies of annual reports by Principal A.G.W. Wilts to the Inspector of Schools we are able to grasp the immensity of the change. Wilt first report comes in 1872 when the schools 18 students were taught in an old traditional schoolhouse by headmistress Ms. Hopkinson who did not have an official certification in teaching "This is an average country School carried on at present in rather inadequate premises but a new and handsome school-room and teacher's residence have just been erected.The mistress is a successful disciplinarian and has much natural aptitude for teaching." By 1875 the school has grown to 49 students though still under the tutelage of the unfortunate Ms. Hopkinson who continues struggling to obtain a teaching credential. By 1878 undergoing regular inspections it is reported that the school needs improvement in multiplication and to better follow the state mandated provisions as to Needlework. Their ranks swelled to around 80 students just before the end of the century before petering out and ending in 1904 with only 3 students registered. By then Ms. Hopkinson had been replaced by two subsequent teachers Ms. Lane and Ms. Reed who also struggle to obtain a Certificate while managing a large class.<br/><br/> Circulars from the Education Department show that the idea of public education while welcomed in many quarters arrived also with surprise and some distrust. In 1878 the Circulars report the most recent developments of the Forster Acts "As it has now become evident that by the operation of recent legislation the great majority of the labouring classes will be virtually compelled to send their children to Public Elementary Schools." A major controversy of the Forster Acts surrounded the requirement that the schools operate non-denominationally. While individual churches pushed for the right to educate children under their own religious tenets the Church of England feared that doing so would weaken state control of education. The archive contains notes of this church-state tension in a handwritten letter of 1880 in which the Rev. R.H. Taylor inquires of the Education Department "whether the School is now conducted as a public elementary school.Section VII of the Elementary Education Act 1870 having been conspicuously put up in the School. If not my Lords cannot direct H.M. Inspector to inspect the School annually as a public elementary school." <br/><br/>On the lighter side repeated entreaties from the Education Department in Whitehall during the 1870s call for "teachers of Schools will be willing to give their assistance in endeavoring by due warning to the scholars to put a stop to.the mischief caused by throwing stones at the insulators of telegraph wires." Threatened punishments to the "schoolboys" responsible for this "great evil" include "imprisonment and flogging." Documents are in very good condition on large size sheets of blue or white paper clear and legible. Some dog-ears and a couple pages of the archive have been chewed on the corners but most are complete. Names of all enrolled students appear yearly on the Examination Schedule. A very complete set of records and historical resource on the most dramatic transition ever to come to education; that of going from independent schoolhouses to systemized public education. unknown books

It offered courses in "topography construction of maps navigation fencing ethicks natural theology evidences of Christianity and metaphysicks." Rates for attendance were high and the level of matriculation could not sustain the school. In 1863 Oliver G. Steele wrote "It was the great pet of the city. It was however too expensive for the time failing to reach the great body of our people; and changes of teachers and policy soon brought its career to a close." An act to dissolve the corporation and to provide for the just disposition of the property was passed in 1846.
