[ Education ]Popple, William]
A Rational Catechism
<p>Amsterdam: Printed for the Widow of J.J. Schipper 1712 Second edition not so stated dedicated to the author's "dearest daughters" with a long quote from Locke's On Education on the title-page. The work is a significant distillation of the principles of toleration first published in 1687. . . Contemporary mottled calf. Gilt spine tooled in compartments yellow silk ribbon marker. . Twelvemo. Edges sprinkled red. Binding extremities slightly worn and boards a bit scratched. Front joint cracked but sound. The Macclesfield copy with the blindstamps shelf marks and the South Library bookplate. A very good copy clean copy. William Popple 1638-1708 was the nephew of Andrew Marvell and was educated under his guidance. He was a successful merchant in Hull before moving to Bordeaux where he lived from 1670 to 1688. After returning to London he met William Penn and became secretary of the Dry Club established by John Locke to debate issues of religious liberty. He also translated Locke's Letter on Toleration 1689 from the Latin. When Locke was appointed a commissioner of the Board of Trade in 1696 Popple became the board's secretary. Though this is a dialogue between a father and son the dedication to his daughters states: "I am desirous that it may be a common memorial of me unto all of you when I shall be no more I therefore make it yours also by this dedication: And for the same reason I have likewise added unto it a copy of that advice which I formerly gave him in such verse as my unpractised Muse then dictated.</p> Printed for the Widow of J.J.

<p>Leeds: E.J. Arnold & Son n.d. ca. 1899. Fourth edition revised and expanded. Rare. OCLC records only 2 copies in libraries worldwide. Green cloth-colored boards. Title and paper-folding decorative design in black. . Small quarto. . With 27 full-page color diagrams and numerous half page diagrams. Upper right corner of first few leaves and last leaf clipped but text is unaffected. Minor edge wear. A few folding paper samples laid in and sample sheets at rear. Endpapers feature the publisher's logo. Very good copy. Z. Ford was a Froebel Kindergarten teacher during the end of the 19th-Century.

The present work gives detailed instructions and diagrams for kindergarten students studying the Froebel gifts with colorful illustrated examples. According to the preface: "There is no Kindergarten occupation more pleasing and interesting to children than that of paper-folding … This little work is intended to show how the paper-folding occupation lends itself to the cultivation of the designing powers in children." It is also noted that "Juniors" can use this book as preparation for the study of geometry. The A.L. Educational Series focused on children's creativity and learning-through-play concept that was one of the central tenets of Froebel's educational method. Other titles in the series include Guide to the Drawing Examinations 1892 by D.E. Hillier and Paper-Flower Making 1897 by I.A. Williamson.</p> E.J. Arnold & Son, hardcover

[ Women Education ]
The Education of Undergraduate Women at Princeton: An Examination of Coordinate Versus Coeducational Patterns.
<p>Princeton New Jersey: Princeton University March 1969 Pale bule printed paper wrappers. . Octavo. With a full-page table comparing educational models. Fading and light foxing to front cover. Very bright and clean throughout. A very good copy of an uncommon item reporting the results of a study on how Princeton University could implement their decision to admit women. A committee of Princeton students faculty and administrators considered five models for incorporating women into the college: 1 "Separate educational institutions joined by a 'treaty' which makes possible some sharing of facilities and faculty"; 2 "Two institutions with separate formal identities but with one faculty identified with the men's college"; 3 "A separate women's residential college or zone within the University"; 4 "A single institution with an established ratio of women to men students but with no separate residential college"; and 5 "A single institution with no established ratio of women to men students." The present item summarizes the characteristics advantages and disadvantages of the five models. Princeton began admitting undergraduate women in the fall of 1969 under the fourth proposed model. The model allowed women to choose between living on campus in designated spaces women-only dorms or women's sections in larger dorms or living off campus and between eating and socializing in communal spaces with men or in their own dorms and private residences. The text reads: "This model avoids any connotations of 'segregation' and thus is attractive on grounds of principle to those who believe it is important that men and women students learn how to know each other simply as 'people'" p. 9.</p> Princeton University,]

[ADALIA GREEK COMMUNITY].
[ADALIA GREEK COMMUNITY] Kanonismos tis Ellinikis Orthodoxou koinotitos Attaleias. [i.e. Regulations of the Greek Orthodox community of Antalya].
Very Good Greek, Modern (post 1453) Original wrappers. Large 8vo. (21 x 16 cm). In Greek (Modern). 21 p. First and only edition of this exceedingly rare and one of the earliest church regulations of the Greek Orthodox community of Attalia [Antalya]. Attalia was not a large urban center or major trading hub, but neither was the Greek Community marginal, and it was well integrated into the regional economy. It was different from other areas in Asia Minor due to a combination of factors ranging between demography, geography, local Orthodox leadership, and the city's social milieu. In contrast to the West-coast cities and many villages in Asia Minor with Orthodox majorities, Attalia's population was only about one-third Orthodox. The main area of difference in Antalya was the Community leadership, which was key to the maintenance of cordial relationships between Christians and Muslims, and the secular and ecclesiastical elements of Orthodox leadership in Antalya tended to cooperate for collective benefit. Throughout this period, a local elite managed to control education and other Community institutions, perpetuating an identity that was compatible with the local Ottoman context. In this last period, the Greek Community printed several books and tractates including a brief history of Antalya and this "regulation book" in the Meli Printing House, which was the only printing house of the Greek Community in Antalya. Only one institutional copy is located in OCLC 1030075331 (Suna Kiraç Library of the Koç University).

Fourth and fifth grades are each pictured in two group photos; second and third grades in three group photos each and first in four group photos. The school appears to have had no kindergarten though the present yearbook also pictures the school's Student Council cheerleaders choir and Boy Scouts.

[African Americana]: [Florida]: [Education]
Albumen Photograph Featuring Rev. J.L.A. Fish and His Wife Posed with Their African American Students Outside a "Colored School"
N.p. but likely Live Oak FL 1880. Very good. Albumen photograph 4.5 x 7.75 inches mounted on card. Card trimmed with pinholes at corners remnants of printed caption in bottom margin slight surface soiling and spotting. Penciled annotation on verso. A stunning original photograph featuring Rev. Joseph Leroy Atwell Fish 1828-1890 and his wife and children posed amongst their African-American students at an unnamed "colored school" which was very likely the Florida Baptist Institute. The images captures Fish his wife and probably his daughters in the middle of the frame standing in front of a large two-story schoolhouse surrounded by about eighty young Black men and women in suits and dresses. Revered Fish was a graduate of Amherst College and the Newton Theological Seminary who was ordained a Baptist minister in 1856. Fish was also a teacher who helped found Florida Memorial University Florida Baptist Institute in Live Oak in 1880 where he served as first president of the institution until his death there on March 26 1890. Florida Memorial University is the only HBCU in the southern part of the state. The penciled annotation on the present photograph provides some information on the photograph but is probably ultimately misleading in one regard: "Rev. J.L.A. Fish & wife In Virginia teaching a colored school -- He married my Father & Mother Mr. & Mrs. Milan Hills Lucy M. Williams Dec. 21 1875."<br /> <br /> The latter part of this inscription is indeed true. Reverend Fish married Milan Hills and Lucy Williams on December 21 1875 in Hebron New York where he was serving as a church pastor. But the historical record does not indicate that Reverend Fish ever taught at an African-American school in Virginia if he did it was so brief that it is now lost to history. Fish's first known foray into teaching African American students was a brief six-month stint in Natchez Mississippi in 1879. Immediately thereafter Fish was appointed to the Florida Baptist Institute where he served the last decade of his life. As such it is far more likely that the inscriber here meant to say that Reverend Fish and his wife were "In FLORIDA teaching a colored school."<br /> <br /> Reverend Fish's work at the Florida Institute is covered in the Obituary Record of Graduates of Amherst College for the Academical Year ending June 27 1883: "His chief work was with the Freedmen as he brought Florida Institute out of all its troubles financial and social changed the feeling of the whites from hatred to sympathy with his work and put the school on a permanent foundation. His aim was to educate leaders for the race and the principal effort of his school was to train teachers and preachers to go out through the state and by their example to lift up and educate both intellectually and morally the colored people. His influence was felt throughout the state both through his training of teachers and preachers and through his counsels given at conventions associations and other gatherings of the colored men and in private. He is mourned by both white and black. By the whites because they knew his teachings would help the colored people without causing trouble to them. By the latter because they miss their leader teacher and friend. unknown

The last sections in each yearbook are comprised of advertisements from local vendors mostly medical suppliers.

The Ritual of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority cover title
N.p. likely Washington D.C. 1939. About good. 476pp. of mimeographed text plus one leaf of sheet music. Original red printed wrappers brad bound. Substantial edge wear reinforced with cello tape repaired tear and large area of loss to rear wrapper some dust-soiling to covers. Ink ownership inscription on front blank belonging to Ruth W. Lee otherwise internally clean. A delightfully homespun pamphlet containing the revised edition of the various rituals of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority one of the "Divine Nine" sororities of the HBCU community founded at Howard University in 1913 and still active today. According to the organization’s own website Delta Sigma Theta is "committed to sisterhood scholarship service and addressing the social issues of the time.and has become one of the preeminent service-based sororities with more than 350000 initiated members and over 1050 chartered chapters worldwide." The present work was issued by the Ritual Revision Committee whose names are listed here along with a note from the committee chairman Edna B. Johnson-Morris and a Preface from the committee which includes notes of gratitude to various members including honorary member Mary McLeod Bethune thanking her for "The Beacon Light." The body of the work contains chapters on conducting both grand chapter sessions and regular meetings the initiation ceremony the establishment of new chapters conferring honorary status the process of reinstatement the pledge ceremony the funeral ceremony the observance of memorials dedication exercises the order of business for chapter meetings and closing ceremonies for both types of meetings. Much of the work is literally comprised of the scripts for these various processes and ceremonies. These chapters are followed by the text of the DST "National Hymn" sheet music for "How We Love Thy Name" and the text for the sorority's prayer oath and the "Sorority Charge."<br /> <br /> "As a sisterhood comprised primarily of Black college-educated women the Sorority seriously considers the issues impacting the Black community and boldly confronts the challenges of African Americans and hence all Americans. Over the years a wide range of programs addressing education health international development and the strengthening of African American families have evolved. The major programs of the Sorority are based upon the Five-Point Programmatic Thrust: economic development educational development international awareness and involvement physical and mental health and political awareness and involvement" - Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. website. Printed works issued by the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority are exceedingly rare. OCLC reports just a few items of any type printed before 1970 along with just a few institutional collections relating to various chapters of the sorority containing material before 1950. The present work is not separately listed in OCLC and very likely not present in the chapter collections. unknown

[African-Americana – Activism – Higher Education] Haynes, George Edmund; Moton, Robert Russa; Hoover, Herbert; Caliver, Ambrose;
Collection of Material Relating to African-American Sociologist George E. Haynes Including Correspondence and Photographs
United States 1964. Twenty-seven letters two typed documents totaling four pages six photographs and nine pieces of ephemera including two of Haynes’ heavily stamped passports. One of the typed documents and two of the letters belong to Olyve Jeter Haynes’ second wife. Many items affixed to loose scrapbook leaves. Near Fine. George Edmund Haynes 1800–1960 was an African American sociologist and social worker. He received a B.A. from Nashville HBCU Fiske University an M.A. from Yale and was the first African American to receive a Ph.D. from Columbia graduating in 1912. While in New York Haynes worked with the National League for the Protection of Colored Women and the Committee for Improving the Industrial Conditions of Negroes in New York and formed the Committee on Urban Conditions among Negroes with white suffragist Ruth Standish Baldwin. These three groups would merge into the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes—shortened to the National Urban League—in 1911. He taught economics and created the sociology department at Fiske and served as director of the Division of Negro Economics under the US Secretary of Labor. He also served the Federal Council of Churches and with the Joint Committee on National Recovery which worked to ensure African Americans got their fair share of the New Deal and had a role in the formation of the State University of New York.<br /> <br /> Offered here is a collection of Haynes’ letters with several photographs and documents. The letters which are sometimes placed alongside copies of Haynes’ outgoing correspondence come from politicians and influential figures in African American higher education. Those from political figures are generally in response to Haynes sending them his thanks for their advocacy for African Americans: Herbert Hoover personally thanks him for his “fine note of friendship†in response to Haynes’ congratulations on his presidential nomination on the 1928 Republican ticket June 21 1928 Franklin D. Roosevelt’s secretary Louis Howe for his letter in appreciation of the President’s speech against lynching before the Fedral Council of Churches December 14 1933 and New York City Mayor Herbert Lehman for his letter in support of the Mayor’s mandate to desegregate CCC camps in the state April 22 1937.<br /> <br /> The letters from fellow educators are more personal and substantial. In an early letter Tuskegee president Robert Russa Moton councils Haynes on an unspecified conflict:<br /> <br /> “I can see no reason why we should not state your case before the Board. It is quite evident that Mr. Wood misunderstood you. I shall be seeing Dr. Dillard next week at which time I hope to talk over and more in detail the whole situation. . The whole thing to me is most unfortunate especially when the work in hand is so very important and there is so much need for all the forces we can summon to do the work.†July 8 1919<br /> <br /> At the time Haynes was with the Division of Negro Economics though it is not clear what misunderstanding had occurred or how it related to Tuskegee’s Board. “Dr. Dillard†is almost certainly James H. Dillard a white advocate for African American education who at the time was the director of the Negro Rural School Fund. Dillard and Haynes seem to have been personal friends as Dillard laments in a later letter that “I wonder if you and I will ever see each other again. The fates seem against it†September 24 1932.<br /> <br /> Another friend of Haynes’ Nathan B. Young writes him in 1931:<br /> <br /> “As you may have heard I am leaving the field of education in Missouri. I am casting about to find something to do. I am still young and healthy with mental powers unabated. I should like to be put into a position where I would have the leisure to ‘write up’ what I have learned by long and varied experience in the field of Negro education. . I am asking my friends to make suggestions as to the best use of the leisure immediately before me. Of course I must keep on earning in order to keep on eating for I am a poor man.†May 26 1931<br /> <br /> A newspaper clipping alongside the letter concerns Young’s unceremonious ouster from the presidency of Lincoln University an HBCU in Missouri. Young had been removed from the same post in 1927 at least in part because of his efforts to turn the school away from agricultural and industrial education and towards becoming an accredited liberal arts university.1 He returned to the post in 1929 but was fired again without a hearing in 1931; in 1933 after a few years of lecture touring Young died.<br /> <br /> Two letters from newsman Julius J. Adams concern an article that the two were writing about the founding of the National Urban League. Adams writes:<br /> <br /> “I am enclosing a copy of a memorandum supplied me by the National Urban League regarding its formation. It is of course strictly confidential but I am eager to get your version of the League’s beginning and desire to see if it coincides. . I must say that the manuscript I am working on is being held up by the printers and it is essential that I get your statement at once. I’d certainly not like to complete the work without including this particular phase of the League. What I’d probably do would be to omit or at least skirt the controversial part of the statement.†June 14 1948<br /> <br /> The attached statement which gives a brief overview of the early years and figures of the Urban League was authored by Eugene Kinckle Jones. Jones was hired as a secretary to the Committee on Urban Conditions so that Haynes could spend most of his time teaching at Fiske.2 As Jones notes in the statement “I was the first full-time employee†as Haynes “never gave full time to the organization.†It is plausible that this is the ‘controversial’ piece that Adams is worried about: Jones convinced the Committee’s board to give him a more significant role in 1916 and by 1917 became executive secretary effectively demoting Haynes who then left the League.3<br /> <br /> The photographs included in the collection date from the later era of Haynes’ career. Three are of the 1942 annual meeting of the Federal Council of Churches Department of Race Relations. The typed caption states that the subjects of the photo—besides Haynes—include labor and civil rights activist A. Philip Randolph journalist Venice Spraggs listed as “assistant to the director of Negro Work†and academic and politician Robert C. Weaver. The Race Relations commission was created in 1921 with the aim of using Christianity to aid racial relations; Haynes became secretary in 1922 and was executive secretary from 1934 to 1947. A 1948 photo shows Haynes with the Temporary Commission on the Need for a State University a New York organization that studied college admissions especially discrimination against African American and Jewish applicants. Its 1948 report which is being presented to Governor Dewey in this photograph included the recommendation to set up the SUNY system. Finally one photograph shows an event at New York City’s WLIN radio station celebrating the release of Haynes’ book Africa: Continent of the Future 1951.<br /> <br /> Later letters concern the death of Haynes’ wife Elizabeth Ross Haynes who died in 1953 with notes of condolence from figures including W.E.B. Du Bois and Adam Clayton Powell. Elizabeth Haynes a fellow social worker sociologist and Fiske graduate was a distinguished figure in her own right. One letter from “Sara†in Bronxville remembers her in some detail:<br /> <br /> “Elizabeth spent two afternoons here while in the process of revising ‘Black Boy’ and I spent a day at your house afterward. We had a child-like and easy way of picking up close communication after long intervals of separation. We never talked about Big Issues and all that — but family matters projects in hand personal expression in the arts memories; we always exchanged some disrespectful jokes about women’s organizations — both of us had felt their sticks for a long time — . I told her the first time they met I meant to get out of teaching colored students before I got helped out by the onrush of young colored teachers. She said that she was quite a lot afraid of giving up her professional work which she had under reasonable control for marriage when she felt no domestic skills and did not even want them much.†November 24 1953<br /> <br /> “Black Boy†is Elizabeth Haynes’ The Black Boy of Atlanta 1952 a biography of African American educator civil rights activist and entrepreneur Richard R. Wright.<br /> <br /> After Elizabeth Haynes’ death George Haynes married Olyve L. Jeter. Two letters are addressed to her one from NUL secretary James H. Hubert worrying about “all the lynchings and what-not†in Harlem and considering carrying a weapon June 2 1937 and one thanking her for her work with the Citizens for Eisenhower-Nixon though misspelling her name as “Alyne†November 7 1952. Also included is a review authored by Jeter of Charles A. Battle’s pamphlet “Negroes on the Island of Rhode Island†which seems to have been sent out for publication. The note to the editor states that Jeter was a staff member in the Federal Council of Churches’ Commission on Race Relations.<br /> <br /> Haynes’ career significantly impacted both Black academic sociology and employment housing and educational conditions for African Americans.

[African-Americana]: [Education]: Cortez W Peters Business School
Evolution
Washington DC: Cortez W. Peters Business School 1950. About very good. 60pp. Original purple wrappers printed in silver. Some soiling and staining to covers minor chipping and rubbing. Small unobtrusive stain to fore-edge of text overall even toning. A seemingly-unrecorded yearbook from the Washington D.C. branch of the Cortez W. Peters Business School the first African-American-owned business school in the United States. The co-educational school was founded in 1834 in the Nation's Capital followed in the next few years by branches in Chicago and Baltimore. The founder Cortez W. Peters taught himself to type as a child and went on to become the first African-American champion of the World's Amateur Typing Contest. Peters' school was one of the first to teach typing to Black students while also offering instruction in shorthand and other clerical skills. The present yearbook begins with a message from Peters which strikes a conciliatory tone in the wake of racial tensions that followed the conclusion of the Second World War: "We naturally resent discrimination lack of opportunities oppression.But on the other hand there are many other values to be considered which should make us tolerant and willing to work out these traditional handicaps generally." This is followed by messages from the dean and class president Eva Itene Brown then portraits of students and faculty a class history a class prophecy class will class poem and twelve pages of group photographs including shots of the men's and women's basketball teams the coronation ball and images featuring students in the classroom. Many of the students both men and women have included words of advice or stated their personal goals which are printed beside their portraits "To be a good typist" "To be a stenographer" and so forth.<br /> <br /> OCLC lists a single copy of three similar yearbooks all under different titles from other years and branches of the school Washington D.C. and Chicago in 1948 and an undated yearbook from Baltimore but not this particular year at the school's home base.

[African-Americana – Education] Smith and Gaston Enterprises
Make Business Your Career! Booker T. Washington Business College
Birmingham Alabama 1950. Folded direct mail advertisement measuring 21 x 5 ½ inches folded into six panels. Fine condition. A promotional mailer for the Booker T. Washington Business College founded by A.G. Watson in Birmingham in 1939 in response to a shortage of typists and receptionists in his insurance and funeral home businesses and open until 1988. Arthur George Gaston 1892–1996 was an Alabama businessman and civic leader who built one of the largest African American–owned business enterprises in the United States during the era of segregation. Beginning with the Booker T. Washington Burial Society he expanded into insurance funeral services banking construction broadcasting and hospitality creating employment and training opportunities within Birmingham’s Black business community. Gaston later established Citizens Federal Savings and Loan Association one of the few Black-owned financial institutions in the region and developed the A.G. Gaston Motel which served as a key meeting site for civil rights leaders during the Birmingham Campaign of 1963. This advertisement appears to be from the 1950s with pictures of students around an IBM accounting machine late 1940s production and pictures of the Gastons in their respective offices. The college offered courses in business civil service accounting and secretarial training according to the mailer. A nice survival from an important institution. unknown
