African American Education and Segregated School Systems in Post-Reconstruction North Carolina 1888-1892

1888215331888. Rowan County Board of Education teacher pay vouchers 1888 and 1892 documenting African American education within the segregated public school system of post-Reconstruction North Carolina. The vouchers record segregated public education and its funding mechanisms through payments to Black teachers approved at the county level. These documents show how African American educators were paid through formally structured systems requiring countersignature by the county superintendent and approval by district committee members. Two manuscript teacher salary vouchers each approximately 8.5 x 7 inches and written on both sides. The first dated March 26 1888 authorizes payment of $30.00 to Maggie Locke for teaching in "School District No. 4 Rowan County for Colored Race" covering the period from January 3 to March 2 1888 in Atwell Township. The printed form specifies that payment is contingent upon countersignature by the county superintendent and approval by at least two district committee members establishing formal oversight procedures. The verso bears Locke's signed receipt dated March 27 1888 acknowledging payment from county treasurer J. M. McCubbins. The second voucher dated January 16 1892 records payment of $25.00 to Isaac Kerns for teaching in "School District No. 2 Salisbury & No. 2 Prov. Rowan County for Colored Race" with similar requirements for administrative approval prior to disbursement. The verso includes Kerns's signed acknowledgment of payment. Both documents explicitly designate the schools as serving the "Colored Race" indicating the formalized racial segregation embedded within the educational system. These vouchers document the operation of segregated schooling in the decades following the Civil War when African American education expanded under conditions of systemic underfunding and institutional control. The requirement for multiple authorizations before payment records the bureaucratic regulation of Black teachers' labor while the recorded wages provide quantitative evidence for comparative study of compensation disparities. Produced during a period when access to education for African Americans remained contested these documents contribute to research on Reconstruction-era legacies Jim Crow governance and the role of Black educators in sustaining community institutions. Light wear minor creasing and typical manuscript handling marks; overall very good condition. Documentary record of the administrative structure and lived realities of segregated education in the late nineteenth-century South. unknown

A Young Woman Teacher of Exceptional Talent Put Forward as Headmistress of the new Girls School in 1873

1873160861873. Edward 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. 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." 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

A woman in jewels and a gossamer sari churns butter for ghee

189013411890. Ink and gouache with gold heightening on fibrous brown laid paper with a Jaipur Court Fee tax stamp in purple ink on the recto 13 1/4 x 8 7/8 inches 336 x 226 mm. Toning handling creases and minor scattered surface soiling throughout. There are scattered coeval inscriptions in ink on the recto and verso. A traditional Indian butter churn is operated by rapidly pulling a rope which turns a paddled spindle. The paddles churn cows milk inside a large jar until milk solids form. Ghee is made from cow milk butter which is treated with low heat until the water evaporates leaving behind milk solids. The solids are skimmed off or strained if needed. Ghee is a staple food on the Indian subcontinent and as a cooking oil it is the most widely used food in India apart from wheat and rice. Because of its exalted status at Hindu weddings ghee is expensive and in high demand. Male wedding guests are expected to compete with each other to see who can eat the most of it; consuming two pounds or more at a sitting is considered a proof of virility. On the stamp: The first revenue stamps in India were issued in the mid-nineteenth century during the Raj and they are still being issued to this day. Apart from issues for the whole of India many princely states provinces and other states also had or still have their own revenue stamp issues. Before independence Indian revenue stamps were closely modeled on similar designs from Great Britain as is the case with this carriage motif stamp from Jaipur. The stamps were issued to denote various denominations including rupees and annas. An anna or Änna was a currency unit formerly used in British India equal to 1â„16 of a rupee. It was subdivided into four old Paisa or twelve pies thus there were 192 pies in a rupee. When the rupee was decimalized and subdivided into 100 new paise one anna was therefore equivalent to 6.25 paise. This particular stamp was used as evidence of court taxes remitted for property dealings. unknown
