‎[EDUCATION & RELIGION -- CHICAGO, ILLINOIS].‎

‎An intriguing numbered archive of glass plate lantern slides depicting the rapid growth and construction of Sunday Schools and Evangelical Mission churches across Chicago Chicago suburbs and adjacent environs to serve fast-growing communities by recruiting immigrant conversions including Japanese-Americans. These all appear to have been intended as visual aids for the Missouri Synod Evangelical Lutheran Mission Churches revival meetings and fund raising efforts.‎

‎Chicago IL & Davenport IA: Lutheran Mission Churches; North Illinois District Victor Animatograph Co. ca. 1930-1934. Two vols. 4to. 13; 13 leaves unnumbered. of 4-pocket archival mylar sleeves housing 97 glass plate lantern slides sized 4 x 3.25 in. all in gray cardstock embossed frame mounts of the Victor Animatograph Co. of Davenport IA nearly all numbered in white ink MS 1 2-48; 49-56 60-97 2 100 glass slides nearly all w/ red dots keyed to lantern slide maps included at the end 34 hand-coloured 63 black & white a few w/ very minor hairline cracks in the glass not affecting the image or integrity minor dustsoiling edgewear to mounts together with 4 leaves typescript detailing all of the slides to be used in the presentation inserted together into first mylar sleeves first two leaves w/ extensive MS notes & revisions in ink & pencil. All preserved in recent blue cloth 3-ring binders still a VG archive. This glass slide photo archive visually captures the expansion of the Lutheran Mission Churches largely within the Missouri Synod which underwent rapid Americanization and expansion during the 1920’s and early 1930’s in Chicago the nearby suburbs and across Northern Illinois. With a focus on establishing Sunday Schools shifting liturgy from German to English language and appealing to immigrant communities for growth these glass plate lantern slides appear to have been designed as a presentation for growing Lutheran Mission Churches as they spread through up-and-coming suburban neighborhoods in and around Chicago mostly within a 50 mile-or-so boundary line to downtown Chicago. Stately churches church interiors Sunday School interiors students pastors as well as church buses and surrounding areas are also depicted within the slides. Heavily influenced by Dwight L. Moody’s targeted Sunday School movement upon the inner city working poor during the 19th-Century the Evangelical Lutheran Mission Churches as depicted in the two maps inside the collection -- with one hand-coloured with red dots corresponding to the slides -- there was a decided interest to attract those migrating into the Chicago area including Japanese-Americans as depicted in slide No. 2 standing next to the sign for “Our Saviour’s Evangelical Lutheran Church†in Addison Heights Chicago.Identified churches and Sunday schools include those for Addison Heights Messiah School Archer Heights Congregation in Chicago Barrington congregation & church building Broadview & Maywood along Roosevelt about 12 miles west of downtown Chicago & Lake Michigan the Elizabeth parsonage which was the furthest West church in the North Illinois District nearly on the Iowa State line. Others include parishes in Elmwood Park Gage Park Irvingwood East Joliet Midlothian Naperville East Rockford Dixon Milford Geneva and the St. Charles Borromeo Church originally at the NW corner of 12th now Roosevelt and Cypress now Hoyne Ave. in the West Side neighborhood. Still more include Pastor Kroeger’s Winslow church; Pastor Kuehnert’s Cary Church Pastor Burgdorf’s Bethany Church along with two lantern slides of Pastor Brauer’s parish -- the Illinois State Women’s Prison and the State Penitentiary at Joliet. Surviving multimedia presentation archives such as this one are quite scarce and seldom feature the enhanced detail offered by the typescript list with this archive.

Very good condition overall. Approximately eighteen girls conducting experiments on electricity using conducting boxes at an unspecified public high school in New York. They sit on tall stools around long tables wearing expressions that vary from concentration to vexation. High school gave girls the opportunity to advance beyond a rudimentary education and become versed in subjects such as history their rights as citizens and advanced science. The US was the first nation to provide the general public with secondary education and in 1900 there were 6000 public schools. Only a fraction of those however were open to women.

A very good very robust example of an advanced course in textiles sewing and fashion that also reveals the Depression-era labor history of women in the garment industry. This portfolio represents all the skills a Depression-era woman would need to create her own garments and other textile goods: sewing dyeing and weaving; selecting the right fabrics from stores; repurposing discarded household items into tools to save money e.g. a cigar box into a loom; and much more. Periodical clippings of illustrations of women weaving in industrial and commercial settings indicate that students who completed this correspondence course would not only be able to produce textile goods for their own families but also find skilled employment in the garment industry.‎

‎Report of The Educational Department Affiliated Schools for Workers; January 1 1929 - October 1933‎

‎New York: For Affiliated Schools for Workers Later the American Labor Education Service ALES 1933. First Edition. 28cm. Staple bound white paper stock titled to first leaf. 32pp typewritten rectos only mimeo'd. Some toning to the edges of the front cover some light chipping and creasing to the spine edge of the title leaf "1933" added in ink to the upper front corner of the title sheet strong and solid; internally clean and fresh. A very good copy of an object clearly not intended to last. <br /> <br /> The first significant progress report issued by the ASW/ALES under the helm of dauntless and energetic educator Eleanor Gwinnell Coit whose name appears at the end of the document and who was appointed to the project in 1929 when it was in its infancy and continued steering the ALES through various advances in workforce education until its disbanding in 1962. Coit's advocacy for worker's education continued unflaggingly until her death in 1976. <br /> <br /> The primary objective of the ALES was to provide straightforward access to education for the working class access to advocacy and representation for those denied significant autonomy and to advance their rights and safeguards often through support of union initiatives and programs. <br /> An interesting takeaway from the report is how many of the "summer" education projects took place on spaces provided by historically women's colleges and higher education institutions like Bryn Mawr Coit herself had followed the then unusual route of higher education earning her degree from Smith before continuing and achieving her Master's from Columbia. A significant amount of the administrational and organizational labor of the early stages of the ALES was performed by women volunteers in higher educational institutions.<br /> The ALES under Coit also introduced a number of initiatives devoted to the publication of educational books for workers the majority of which were written by women who in the early 1930's would have found it very difficult to gain traction and recognition in the field of educational and social reform page 11 of this document lists a number of early publications and speaks of the creation of a required reading list for students comprising fiction poetry plays and biographies dealing with the social and economic problems faced by the laboring population and their families:<br /> "The Educational Secretary is the Chairman of a committee of Local #189 American Federation of Teachers under the auspices of which has been prepared an ANNOTATED LIST OF MATERIAL FOR WORKERS' CLASSES and a SUGGESTED READING LIST."
