[Education – African Americana – Reconstruction – Freedmen's Bureau – North Carolina] Claywell, J A; Nelson, Jesse Strabo
1867 Freedmen’s Bureau Receipt for $1000 to Build a School on Land Owned by Freedmen in Morganton North Carolina
Morganton North Carolina 1867. Manuscript document measuring 5 ¼ x 8 inches. Near Fine. An 1867 document confirming the receipt of $1000 for building a school for freed African Americans in Morganton North Carolina. The document reads:<br /> <br /> “$1000<br /> Morganton N.C.<br /> Dec’r 16th 1867<br /> Received of Major Hannibal D. Norton Sub-ass’t Com’r Bureau R.F. A.L. One Thousand dollars in full for erecting a School-building on land purchased by Freedmen in Morganton N.C. as per contract dated August 31 1867.<br /> Check No. 1135 on Raleigh Nat B’k<br /> for $1000.00 signed by Bt Lt Col J. A. Claywell / Jesse Strabo Nelson<br /> T. P. Johnson C.Q.M. D.O. S.N.C.â€<br /> <br /> Brevet Lt. Col. Thomas P. Johnson appears in other North Carolinian Freedmen’s Bureau documents; the abbreviation after his name likely stands for Chief Quartermaster and Disbursing Officer State of North Carolina. The two witnesses Claywell likely James Addison and Nelson were both active in the Methodist church; Claywell was superintendent of the Morganton Methodist Sunday School and Nelson a Methodist reverend. Neither man’s obituary mentions any involvement with the Freedmen’s Bureau.<br /> <br /> The school is not identified by any name but is mentioned in a March 1868 report by Hannibal Norton the Freedmen’s Bureau agent. The building was located at Union and Water now Bouchelle Streets and hosted three schools day night and Sabbath; had one teacher an African American man named Joseph Nicholas; and was paid for by the students’ parents. The report describes difficulty in raising money to pay for more buildings teachers and books and notes that “The public sentiment is adverse to the education of Freedmen and Poor Whites.â€1 Given the area’s poverty indicated by Norton’s report the fundraising by formerly enslaved people to buy land for the school must have taken remarkable effort and sacrifice—education was a critical cause for African Americans and significant progress was made during Reconstruction in spite of poverty and violent backlash.<br /> <br /> 1 “North Carolina United States records†images FamilySearch https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:3Q9M-C9TC-6PJVview=explore image 104 of 567; United States National Archives and Records Administration.

[EDUCATION -- MINIATURE MUSEUM PHOTOGRAPH ARCHIVE].
A small archive of 52 photographs depicting agricultural and mining commodities originally intended as “Miniature Museum†visual aids in conjunction with product sample trays for use in public schools and trade schools in Pennsylvania and surrounding States. Images from Asia Australia the Americas Middle East South Asia and Africa offer indispensable visual views of the growing impact and demands of international trade and colonialism at the beginning of the 20th Century.
Philadelphia PA: The Philadelphia MuseumsCommercial Museum of Philadelphia Exhibits Bureau ca. 1920. Archive of 52 mounted silver gelatin photographs sized 7 x 9 in. mounted on 9.75 x 12 in. gray studio board mounts all imprinted w/ white lettering at lower right corners and captions below images a few have photographer’s original imprints w/in the negative and printed explanatory text on light gray versos minor edgewear rubbing wear to some corners minor bowing to mounts as usual a few boards w/ edgewear wear at corners 1 photo w/ soiling still a VG group of photos w/all retaining bright strong contrast. This archive serves as an excellent surviving visual aid from the “Miniature Museum†exhibits created by the Commercial Museum of Philadelphia before and after World War I in order to promote foreign trade and develop international commerce for U.S. products. Sponsored by manufacturers suppliers and many different companies who would supply products to the Commercial Museum these interactive exhibits were intended to illustrate not only useful products of other countries and the advantage for trade in the U.S. but also to underlie important facts of modern industry. Dispatched for free these sample exhibits contained a cupboard at the base in which an educator or lecturer could place photographs and additional exhibits which would revolve on loan for assorted subjects to be taught. The photographs preserved here include those used originally with such trays as the “Beverages; Brush Fiber; Carbon; Coconut; Cotton; Cow; Flax; Gums & Resins; Iron; Ores & Metals; Rice; Rope Fiber; Rubber; Silk; Spice; Sugar & Wheat.†For instance this unknown instructor ordered for the “Beverages Drawer Exhibit†the photographs “Picking Tea†in Japan “Tea Factory†in Ceylon “Tea Ships†in Formosa Taiwan or “Picking Coffee†in Brazil which would have then been used with a series of large folding or rolling maps to be displayed as part of a multi-media presentation. As the cases were heavy and fragile these were sent out in place and further education materials would be dispatched to enhance their use but unfortunately classroom usage resulted in frequent lost and damaged photographs. Also present here are photos for “Camels Carrying Charcoal†into Constantinople Turkey; “Cutting Bananas†in Jamaica; “Cocoanut Plantation†& “Making Cocoanut Oil†in Ceylon; or the “Iron Furnace†in Hankow China or “Rope Factory†in Hong Kong. Two of the photos for Mexico include one still retaining the original caption for Charles Betts Waite of a smelter operation in Aguascalientes Mexico and another of the Sirena Mine in Guanajuato Mexico with the photographer’s imprint scratched out in negative but appears to have been a Winfield Scott image. Other images show the bustling harvesting of spices in Ceylon Singapore Jamaica and German East Africa rubber plantations in the Amazon Valley of Brazil and panning gold in Vancouver B.C. and hydraulic gold mining in Otago New Zealand with image by Burton Bros. of Dunedin. The Rice and Silk sections both offer excellent views of both processes in late Meiji and Taisho-era Japan. The Commercial Museum which originally opened in 1897 was the foremost source of international trade knowledge for American manufacturers in the early 20th Century. Slowly other Trade Commissions and Exhibitions supplanted the Commercial Museum and by the 1950’s the Miniature Museum visual aid exhibits had become obsolete and many had been broken up or photographs and samples dispersed through use. Although the Museum continued to provide programming and display exhibits until 1994 it was then closed indefinitely. See: Charles R. Toothaker Curator Educational Work of the Commercial Museum of Philadelphia Bulletin 1920 No. 13 Dept. of the Interior Bureau of Education 1921 includes images of assorted variations of the original oak sample cases and even large display of possible photo choices; Katelyn Wolfrom Rise and Fall of the Philadelphia Commercial Museum: How a Forgotten Museum Forever Altered American Industry Independence Seaport Museum Spring 2010.

[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.

[EDUCATION - HANDCRAFTS] [KINDERGARTEN MOVEMENT]
Anonymous 19th-c. Album of Folded Paper Papierfalten / Origami Teaching Examples
N.p. n.d. ca 1880s-1900. Cloth-bound leporello binding gilt-ruled gilt-titled "FOLDING." on front cover 8-3/4" "x 8". Opens to reveal 42 panels 21 on each side of the accordion fold of which 26 are used containing a total of approximately two hundred folded examples laid-down but otherwise fully openable by unfolding; each unique some arranged into complex compositions on the page. Occasional mild foxing but Near Fine overall with three or four pieces possibly lacking from the final pages. The album is presumably American based on its source a regional American auction house purchased 2025 though conceivably British in origin.<br /> <br /> A beautifully-preserved "papierfalten" album of the late nineteenth or early twentieth century likely the work of either an advanced elementary-school student or a kindergarten teacher in training. Paper-folding was first introduced in American schools in the 1890s an adaptation of Friedrich Fröbel's kindergarten curriculum developed to train children in both manual skills and geometrical and mathematical concepts. The apotheosis of Fröbel's papierfalten technique was the so-called "Froebel Star" a complex three-dimensional composition based on the traditional German folk-art "Moravian Star." Numerous examples of the technique are collected here along with many more basic folds and several wonderful full-page compositions comprised of multiple folded sheets arranged to resemble snowflakes and other objects. We've encountered other examples of the papierfalten genre usually in single sheets with a few examples; none nearly as comprehensive or complex as this one and certainly none as beautifully preserved. A unique and beautiful documentation both of American folk art and educational technique. unknown

[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.
