[EDUCATION]. GEORGE N SHEPARD
Civil War Veteran School Board Chair Cautions Teacher to Discipline Carefully
<p>"<i>.neither have the right to inflict punishment or impose restrictions that will maim or injure the health of the children. As to the particular case under consideration I cannot believe that you are unduly severe or that your restrictions and exactions will hurt a robust stubborn pupil.</i>"</p> <b>EDUCATION. GEORGE N. SHEPARD.</b>Autograph Letter Signed as Chairman of the School Board to Mary D. Webster October 5 1891 West Epping New Hampshire. 2 pp. and envelope.<p><b><br /></b></p><p><b>Complete Transcript</b></p><p> <i>West Epping N.H.</i></p><p> <i>Oct. 5 1891</i></p><p><i>Dear Miss Webster</i></p><p> <i>Yours of the 3d inst. is at hand.</i></p><p> <i>Your school supplies as ordered are sent by mail this morning. We have no Swinton's Second Readers now on hand therefore I put in for you a McGuffy's Second Reader which I hope will serve your purpose.</i></p><p> <i>In relation to authority of teachers you perhaps already understand that they have the same as parents while the children are under their care and that neither have the right to inflict punishment or impose restrictions that will maim or injure the health of the children.</i></p><p> <i>As to the particular case under consideration I cannot believe that you are unduly severe or that your restrictions and exactions will hurt a robust stubborn pupil.</i> <2> <i>Of course you will be expected to discriminate so as to properly modify your discipline to suit each particular case and be especially tender with such as are weak and frail physically or mentally. Try to place yourself in the same relation to the children under your care and instruction as that of a faithful conscientious mother possessed of good sound common sense who while she loves her children with a true and motherly love is profoundly impressed with the importance and necessity of restraining them and of training them in habits of studiousness and industry as well as all the other useful activities and you will have a guiding principle that will never lead you very far in wrong methods.</i></p><p> <i>My decision then is this you have a right in general to deprive a pupil of part of the regular noonday intermission and mid-session recesses to make up delinquencies provided that you substitute a sufficient number of recesses by himself alone. This is indeed a most fitting discipline to apply to a pupil who stubbornly and persistently wastes in idleness the time regularly assigned for study.</i></p><p> <i>Yours truly</i></p><p> <i>G. N. Shepard</i></p><p> <i>Ch. Sch. Bd. of Epping.</i></p><p><b>George N. Shepard</b> 1824-1903 was born in Epping New Hampshire and educated in the public schools and at Hampton Academy.

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.

[Education Home Economic]. Dury, Lorraine
Portfolio of classwork for a University of Minnesota correspondence course in textiles and home economics.
Green Bay Wisconsin: ca. 1930s Card paper homemade three-ring binder. 9 in. x 11 in. . With over three dozen pages with fabric swatches sketches and small artworks including two paper weaving samples and a watercolor plus clippings from periodicals laid-in or laid down. Light creasing and wear to pages light occasional offsetting from fabric samples. 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.

[EDUCATION In WORKERS SCHOOLS] COIT, Eleanor Gwinnell
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." Footnote #1 at the base of p.8.<br /> Necessarily scarce and ephemeral with only a single institutional holding of this title.

The vocational education movement was prompted in large part by rapid industrialization resulting in a shortage of skilled labor in factories at the same time that more immigrant families were moving into cities and sending their children to public schools. In addition just a year after the passing of the Smith-Hughes Act Mississippi became last state to enact a compulsory education law which caused an additional influx of students to public schools.

Self-printed softcovers cover art of Julia Stall fold creases from original mailing in July 1931; 2nd & 3rd - 4to. 2 TLS on yellow-tinted paper stock w/ original postmarked envelope for July 7 1931 still retained minor fold creases from original mailing still a VG set. First edition of this very scarce original catalogue for the well-known cosmetology school Pacific School of Beauty Culture founded managed and operated by Julia Stall 1888-1949 from the 1920’s after her divorce until her death following World War II. She details in the letter to young Leola Mahood 1911-1998 a prospective student that “the course is one thousand hours over a period of six months’ time; the school hours are from 10 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. with a half hour for lunch. The regular price is $ 200.00 but for a limited time we are giving a special rate of $ 125.00 cash.†Stall’s trained beauticians had a reputation for hair work in Pacific Northwest salons focused on new permanent waving including the “Croquinole Wind†the very latest in permanents featuring modern equipment and also instructed in the Madame Eugenie facial. Apparently young Mahood had several questions as the October 16 1931 letter from Mrs. Stall advises her that the Pacific School did not pay students a percentage for their work and did not obtain places for room and board but very often could advise. Stall with an 8th grade education managed to successfully operate the school through World War II with her partner Dee Dartnall who not only worked as instructor but continued the school into the 1960’s in Portland.
