‎[History of Education – Women – Quakers] Brown Brothers; Illustrations Bureau; EJ. Reily E. J.‎

‎Eleven Photographs of Open Air Schools Including the Phebe Anna Thorne Model School at Bryn Mawr College‎

‎Bryn Mawr Pennsylvania; and others 1910. Eleven photographs approximately 7 x 9 ½ inch and smaller. With stamps for Brown Brothers Illustrations Bureau and E.J. Reily verso; most with captions verso. Most with chipping and wear at edges; overall good. Open-air schools became popular in the United States in the early 20th century in response to public health crises including tuberculosis.1 Conducting lessons in open-air classrooms reduced the transmission of diseases which allowed many children to attend school despite their often chronic illnesses. Offered here are eleven photographs of open-air schools three of which are identified as the Phebe Anna Thorne Model School at Bryn Mawr.<br /> <br /> The Phebe Anna Thorne Model School opened in 1913 under the direction of the College’s president Carey Thomas using funds donated by Samuel Thorne in memory of his sister Phebe Anna.2 The Thornes were an affluent New York Quaker family; Phebe Anna 1828–1909 was the only daughter to survive to adulthood and was a philanthropist and supporter of progressive social causes.3 <br /> <br /> The school was part of Bryn Mawr’s Department of Education which trained its students in teaching younger pupils rather than those of highschool or college age – the students in most of these photos are probably in about 4th or 5th grade.3 It also allowed testing of more cutting-edge pedagogical practices: the structure of the school was quite experimental including open-air classrooms outdoor naptime a flexible curriculum and less formal assessment. <br /> <br /> Of interest to scholars of the history of education especially experimental pedagogy.<br /> <br /> 1 Sherman C.

‎ALS addressed to Mrs. Gage requesting that she write to the Japanese Consulate in Portland Oregon a recommendation letter for this history teacher to gain a spot in the second American Women High School Teacher’s Tour of Japan for the Fall 1937. As an influential local woman who was interested in expanding cultural and race relations Ms. Stevens felt she was an ideal person for writing such a letter.‎

‎Portland OR: Beatrice T. Stevens June 23 1937. Tall 8vo. 6.25 x 10.25 in. 4 pp unpaginated. ALS written entirely in blue ink cursive manuscript minor age toning some slight wear still VG from the library of Mrs. Roy S. Fern Gladys Small Gage 1893-1960 whose husband was a Lewiston Hardware merchant and later real estate developer and both were members of the Congregational Church. Fern Gage was an active organizer and member of both the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom and the Fellowship of Reconciliation. This uncommon letter reveals the intense public relations campaign nourished and sustained by the Board of Tourist Industries of the Imperial Japanese Railways between Japan and America. It also shows the intense efforts by civic-minded women in the U.S. who were teachers professors and students along with those active in the Women’s International League for Peace & Freedom such as Fern Gage. Stevens 1894-1972 explains to Mrs. Gage that she has “always had a keen yearning to go to the Orient.†She explains how she inaugurated the International Club at the Girl’s Polytechnic organized International Banquets at Commerce High Clinton High School; led a group of girls to dine on “Japanese Sukiyaki at the Tokio House on Fourth Ave. a Chinese banquet at Hung Fan Low; a Jewish Kosher meal at B’nai Brith. . . as well as a Dixie dinner prepared by the mothers of one of our Colored members at the East Side Y.W.C.A. with local Negro leaders and musicians.†Furthermore she explains that she believes these events “of dining in the atmosphere of the nationality in question impresses upon the students as I think you will agree an idea of tolerance and aids in understanding more than any amount of merely reading.†Stevens would teach at Clinton High School until her retirement and although unable to sail to Japan in the Fall of 1937 did succeed in a European trip with teachers in 1949 to post-War Europe in 1949.

‎[Japanese-Americana – Immigration - Women] Unknown Photographer‎

‎Japanese “Picture Brides†Arriving in San Francisco c. 1915‎

‎San Francisco California 1915. Single photograph measuring 6 ¼ x 9 ¼ inches. Brown Brothers stamps with manuscript caption verso with other manuscript markings. Some marginal damage; excellent. In the early 20th century in order to appease increasing anti-Japanese sentiment in California without offending the growing world power the US and Japan reached an informal agreement: the US would not restrict the activities of Japanese immigrants already in the country and Japan would stop allowing laborers to emigrate to the US. However the agreement also allowed Japanese men living in the US to bring over their families. At the time most counties on the US’s west coast where most Japanese immigrants lived were home to significantly more Japanese men than women. This led to the practice of “picture bridesâ€: arranged marriages between Japanese men in America and women back in Japan who would only see each other via photographs prior to their marriage. The men would send along some information about their lives in the States—often exaggerated or untrue—which the women’s families would use to decide on the marriage; the couple would be married without the groom present and then the bride would travel to the US where they would meet for the first time.1 Offered here is a photograph of a group of “picture brides†arriving in San Francisco around 1915. There are also several men perhaps other family members with the group.<br /> <br /> 1 Kelli Y.

‎Édition originale rare de ces Réflexions « généralement attribuées à Mlle de La Vallière ».En 1661, Françoise-Louise de La Baume Le Blanc, duchesse de La Vallière et de Vaujours née à Tours (1644-1710), devint la maîtresse de Louis XIV qu’elle conquit en particulier par son goût pour la musique, le chant et la danse. Bien que discrète, leur liaison provoqua la colère des dévots et des ecclésiastiques parmi lesquels Bossuet. Lorsqu’en 1667, elle fut remplacée par la nouvelle favorite, madame de Montespan, elle quitta la cour et engagea une lente conversion intérieure qui aboutit, à la suite d'une grave maladie, à la rédaction des Réflexions sur la Miséricorde de Dieu (1672 publiées anonymement en 1680) et à son entrée au Carmel sur les conseils de Bossuet, devenu son directeur de conscience. Elle y reçut le nom de sœur Louise de la Miséricorde. Saint-Simon écrivit d’elle : « Heureux (le roi), s’il n’eût eu que des maîtresses semblables à Mlle de La Vallière. ».
