[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.

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.

[EDUCATION -- COSMETOLOGY]. STALL, Julia
The fine art of beauty culture; together with 2 TLS on letterhead addressed to Leola Mahood of Amity OR about the costs and education at the Pacific School of Beauty Culture in Portland.
Portland & Amity OR: Pacific School of Beauty Culture 1931. Three pieces. 1st - 8vo. 8 pp unpaginated. photos & text illustrations. 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. No copies in Worldcat. Pacific School of Beauty Culture, paperback

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
