[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. For Affiliated Schools for Workers [Later the American Labor Education Service (ALES)] unknown

These institutions usually a replacement for traditional high school were established to divert children from low-income families into labor roles often in factories while wealthier children went on to universities. 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.

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.

[EDUCATION] POSTMAN, Neil [with] WEINGARTNER, Charles
The Soft Revolution; A Student Handbook for Turning Schools Around
New York: Delacorte Press 1971. First Edition. First Printing. Octavo. 21.5cm. Publisher's black cloth titled and decorated in red and purple gilt. Dustjacket. 184pp. Very light wear to the cloth predominantly shallow bumping to the spine ends a bright clean copy in a dustjacket that has seen some use with creasing and small closed tears to the upper edge of the front panel chipping to the spine ends and some light soiling to the white rear panel. There's tape residue from some unnecessary reinforcement attempts but it is essentially a very good copy with some shelfwear. A groundbreaking work at the time of publication and an exapnsion of the authors' earlier theories on teaching as a radical mechanism for change rather than a reinforcement and continuation of the status quo.

Two sets of painted wooden counting blocks
Barnard Vermont: Vermont Toy Works 1980. Two sets of brightly painted counting blocks proportionally sized each labeled with its corresponding numeral and that number spelled out. When housed in their trays each column of blocks must add up to ten. Out of their trays the blocks can be used to solve simple addition and subtraction problems or for free play. Vermont Toy Works was a short-lived woodcraft toy company active in the 1980s: it is possible that one of the sets here was a prototype for the manufacture of the other. A very appealing survival from both an educational and a design standpoint. Note: these blocks are heavy! Shipping at cost. Two sets of painted wooden blocks each containing twenty-eight proportionally sized blocks numbered 1-10 housed in two wooden trays: the larger tray measuring 14.75 x 13.25 inches the smaller 11 x 9.75 inches. "Vermont Toy Works" stamp on bottom of both trays. Light general wear. Vermont Toy Works unknown

Austin & Minneapolis MN: Minnesota Utilities Company; Northern States Power Company - Home Service Department Cooking School; Federal Public Service Corporation of Minnesota ca. 1930-1936. Eight parts. 4to. 46 pp assorted separate numbering. w/ most leaves printed on recto only but 2 printed on recto & verso in mimeograph typescript stapled at upper left corners separately 1 part w/ “Seasons Greetings†printed in red minor age toning edgewear still a VG group. A culturally significant group of mimeographed recipes instructions and promotional flyers for the Home Economics & Cooking School demonstrations put on by Naoma Rice for three different Minnesota utility and public utility companies through the depths of the Great Depression. Spearheaded by Rice 1899-1937 the demonstrations emphasized the use and advantages of electric ranges and refrigerators as their popularity and use slowly became more widespread in the 1930’s with an emphasis on local produce and fruits. The first group of recipes includes instructions for such confections as Cranberry Sponge Cake Cider Sherbet Macaroon Pie Spagetti sic Sauce and Bran Refrigerator Rolls. Mixed through the other recipes there are instructions for Crunchy Potato Chip Cookies Apple Cheese Cake Parmesan Veal Frozen Pumpkin Pie and Corn Flake Crust. Several of the recipes emphasize the use of popular Minnesota fruits including Apple Quince Grapes and others.The importance of refrigeration was also emphasized in the “Cooking School†and Model Kitchens with instructions on temperatures needed for home rangers and refrigerators for cooked foods meats butter opened jelly or preserves cheeses and more. Rice suffered through an unspecified childhood illness by by the early 1920’s had become a public school Home Economics Teacher and then by 1928 was listed in Austin MN street directories as a “Demonstrator†for home economics and cooking classes. The Minnesota Utilities Company had been created in 1917 from several smaller utilities and my the Great Depression had grown large enough that it became subject to both the TVA and the Rural Electrification Project as Roosevelt’s New Deal programs attempted to encourage increased use of electricity and electric appliances to boost the economy. The Northern States Power Co. was based out of Minneapolis MN and extended across Minnesota Michigan into the Dakotas and operated an extensive Home Service Dept. The Federal Public Service Corporation of Minnesota appears to have been one of the short-lived outgrowths of WPA and PWA-sponsored programs under the New Deal. This cataloguer could not locate any similar surviving documents for Naoma Rice cooking classes or the Minnesota-based utility companies.

[GALILEIANA / JESUIT EDUCATION] / MARCHELLI, Giovanni
Trattato del Compasso di Proporzione.
Milan: Giuseppe Galeazzi 1759. Hardcover. Near Fine. 8vo 20.2 x 14.4 cm. XXII pp. 352 pp. 8 ff. with 1 large 40 x 50 cm folding plate containing 5 illustrations; title-page printed in red and black engraved device on title. Bound in contemporary publisher's binding title in ink on spine. Minor edge wear minor staining to lower cover. Quires C and E loosening internally very fresh and clean retaining deckle at fore-edge and bottom edge toning to plate marginal paper flaw and rear reinforcement of crease to plate otherwise an excellent copy. Rare first and sole edition of this treatise on the proportional compass written by the Jesuit Giovanni Marchelli. The work was expressly written for the use of Marchelli's mathematics pupils in the Jesuit College of Milan and thus provides interesting evidence for the use of scientific instruments in Jesuit education. The text offers an advanced understanding of Galileo's landmark instrument and coming from a Jesuit it is perhaps notable that Galileo's "invention" of the instrument is so candidly celebrated. The proportional compass or 'sector' in fact combines two separate instruments one for making observations by adding a quadrant to its arms the other to calculate various measures like proportion trigonometry and squares and cube roots. Its several scales permit easy and direct solutions for problems in surveying gunnery and navigation. Conceived as a universal instrument the device was adapted for a variety of pedagogical purposes far more diverse than Galileo's sector ranging from pure geometry to such practical operations as taking measurements for the architectural orders p. 11 converting currency and calculating interest p. 42 performing various 'rule-of-three' operations such as the dissolution of business partnerships p. 53 surveying passim and the construction of Napier tables p. 73. The compass scales are well illustrated and the text includes tables giving the positions of the various markings. The large folding plate provides diagrams "for constructing Galileo's quadrant" that show with great refinement exactly where the markings on the quadrant's arm and tangent are to be engraved. The final chapter deals with military problems such as the determination of the caliber of cannon balls. OCLC locates copies at Adler Planetarium Michigan Oklahoma Woodstock Theological.
