Patriotic subscription by French women to help liberate occupied departments.
<p><strong>Rare Parisian poster for the Souscription patriotique des femmes de France.</strong></p><p>It was part of the liberation of French territory following the Frankfurt Peace Treaty signed between the French Republic and the German Empire on May 10 1871. France was obliged to pay war indemnities of 5 billion francs.</p><p>Thiers' government launched an international loan and paid part of the sum so that by the end of 1871 German soldiers had evacuated the occupied territories remaining only in the city of Belfort and six departments of eastern France including the Ardennes.</p><p><strong>March 1872 the date of this poster marked the start of private initiatives to speed up repayment of the remaining war indemnity and liberate the last occupied territories as quickly as possible.</strong><br />The Souscription patriotique des femmes de France was part of this national and local movement. "<em>The Charleville municipal archives . contain documents relating to the local committee of this association. They show that after dividing the town into neighborhoods the women of this association knocked on the doors of every inhabitant to obtain cash donations or pledges." .</em> <em>"Despite this state support the subscription did not reach its target of 500 million francs and the subscribers were reimbursed. It did however bear witness to the shared determination of the population and the government to raise the funds needed to liberate the country as soon as possible."</em></p><p><strong>Fragile testimony to the central role played by women in this patriotic effort to liberate France.</strong></p><p>Information in this entry comes from the articleon the Ardennes departmental archives website.</p> Typography A.

A number of photos show the Marville & Thomas Watts wheat ranch near Athena images of horse teams pulling the wheat reaper and threshing machine horse teams followed by images of the Pendleton Roundup Spokane and traveling on Lake Coeur d’Alene Idaho with views of steamships sailboats and more.

WOMEN EDUCATION DUNBAR Charles F.
Reply to Dr. Stillé's Strictures on the Harvard Examinations for Women wrapper title
Philadelphia: Penn Monthly 1878. Offprint. First separate edition. Octavo. Sewn pamphlet; printed blue paper wrappers; 12pp; errata slip bound in after final leaf of text. Rear wrapper neatly detached; old tide-line to upper margin of front wrapper; text tight and unmarked - a Good complete and sound copy. Signed in type and end of text by Charles F. Dunbar. Article reprinted from the April 1878 issue of Otis Kendall's Penn Monthly in which Stillé's original article had appeared two months earlier. Dunbar an eminent Harvard economist answers the criticisms of Stillé then provost of the University of Pennsylvania who had taken issue with the profferment of the Harvard Preliminary Examination for Women in the city of Philadelphia. Stillé's argument appears to have been based as much on parochialism as criticism of the exam's content; he was at this time working to raise the profile of Penn among elite American universities and resented the incursion of Harvard onto Penn's home turf. But Stillé evinces more than a little snobbery to say nothing of chauvinism in his assertion that ".no hot-house treatment which forces a precocious and unnatural development can ever produce that fruit which is the support and comfort of human life" - an assertion which Dr. Dunbar answers somewhat caustically: "These truths are well-worn and not denied but if they serve in connection any other purpose than that of a modest rhetorical embellishment it is because the relate to some fancied system quite different from that under discussion." <br/><br/>Despite widespread criticisms similar to the ones ably answered by Dunbar in the present essay The Harvard Examinations for Women - quite stringent covering a wide range of subjects and requiring their subjects to answer in at least two languages other than English - eventually became a national standard for the accreditation of young women who were unable whether for reasons of gender or circumstance to attend four-year universities. Stillé meanwhile became one of the University of Pennsylvania's historical icons; ".the extraordinary progress begun in his administration initiated the great expansion that was to continue under his immediate successors." DAB. The pamphlet appears uncommon - though widely catalogued in WorldCat nearly all holdings examined appear to be digital copies of the original held at Harvard's Schlesinger Library. unknown books
