Wear and some tears and loss at folds with toning and stains some with marginal damage. Very good to excellent. The Carlisle Indian Industrial School had a number of publications including The Indian Helper The Red Man The Red Man and Helper The Indian Craftsman and The Arrow. The latter was founded in 1904 when William A. Mercer became superintendent after the school's founder Richard Henry Pratt left the position. The paper's motto describes it as "A Paper Devoted to the Interest of the Progressive Indian" and the very first edition states that its aim is to "become a medium for the best thought obtainable upon all sides of the Indian question" Vol. I no. 1 August 25 1904.

Contents include sports news-Carlisle was known for its football team-news from current and former students school events poetry and short articles. Football is almost always front-page news and the paper typically reports big wins for Carlisle which one article describes as "Bringing Home Another Scalp" Nov. 1906. Football news is also a place to emphasize the importance of obedience for instance "'Pop' Warner had his men under good control and as event after event was pulled off the value of efficient coaching and strict compliance with instructions was plainly manifested"; May 1907 a theme which is reiterated in a number of the articles. Students provide updates on school events both religious and secular and brief updates on individual students at home and away such as "Louise Hardin who is out in the country at Mt. Airy Penn. writes that she likes her place very much. William Garlow one of our baseball twirlers is under the weather. His friends wish him a speedy recovery." The Arrow also reprints articles from other newspapers about the school such as a November 1906 article from the New York World which describes the school: "The Indians in the school range from little tots six years of age to grown men and women who have been at the institution for a dozen years. They represent every tribe in the United States. Many of the youngsters are just entering the state of civilization while those in the graduating class are fine specimens of the modern educated Indian." Carlisle Indian School Digital Resource Center hosts digitized copies of the school's publications; we find no physical holdings on OCLC. Of interest to historians of Carlisle and the assimilationist project. . Carlisle Indian Industrial School unknown

LOS ANGELES — BUNGALOWS — AFRICAN AMERICAN HISTORYBiblio.com

Make Your Bungalow Dreams Come True. Los Angeles: Los Angeles Investment Company Printed by Geo. Rice & Sons 1913.

réf. FRE6816 p.: numerous halftone photographs and floor plans; printed in black and pale green throughout; pictorial wrappers. 23.2 × 12.1 cm 9.1 × 4.8 in. Very good condition. llustrated sales brochure issued by the Los Angeles Investment Company for newly built bungalows in its New College Tract and Rodgers Park developments in South Los Angeles. Both tracts were being mapped and developed by the company in 1913 and surviving houses illustrated here can be dated to 1913–14 strongly suggesting that the brochure was produced at the moment the neighborhoods were first being offered to home buyers. Rather than presenting hypothetical architectural designs the brochure illustrates individual houses already erected or nearing completion each identified by street address and accompanied by a detailed account of its exterior interior fittings price and often a floor plan. The houses concentrated along First through Fifth Avenues and West 68th through 78th Streets document a wide range of Southern California bungalow forms: one- and one-and-a-half-story houses Swiss chalet and Craftsman variants shingled and clapboard exteriors clinker-brick and cobblestone piers broad porches sleeping porches pergolas and extensive built-in cabinetry. Descriptions specify such details as quarter-sawn oak floors built-in bookcases and buffets fireplaces breakfast rooms screened porches Dutch kitchens plastered interiors window seats and carefully coordinated interior color schemes. The introductory sections promote the New College Tract through its paved streets cement curbs and walks utilities streetcar connections lawns and landscaped surroundings with separate discussions of construction finish floors buffets kitchens doors porches and fixtures. Rodgers Park is similarly presented as a planned residential district with ornamental planting paved streets playgrounds tennis courts utilities and convenient transportation. Houses were offered largely in the $2200–$4500 range with low down payments and monthly installments explicitly targeting aspiring middle-class white first-time homeowners. The brochure also belongs to the early history of racially restricted home ownership in Los Angeles. The Los Angeles Investment Company is documented imposing Caucasian-only deed restrictions on its residential developments within only a few years of the present publication. In Los Angeles Investment Co. v. Gary 1919 arising from the company's attempted eviction of African American homeowner Alfred Gary from 1728 West 51st Street 17 blocks away from the described lot the California Supreme Court considered an LAIC deed prohibiting sale lease rental or occupancy by anyone outside the Caucasian race. The property was one of 167 lots in an LAIC tract subject to such restrictions. A separate LAIC deed dating from 1915 similarly combined racial exclusion with architectural and residential-use controls. The New College and Rodgers Park tracts advertised here were developed in 1913 at a time when racial covenants were already in use in Los Angeles and immediately before their documented employment by LAIC. Although the precise deed restrictions for these two tracts have not yet been located the company's contemporary practices give an important racial dimension to the brochure's repeated celebration of attainable home ownership and “your own home.” The neighborhoods represented here subsequently formed part of the broader South Los Angeles area into which African American homeownership expanded during the following decades particularly from the 1920s through the postwar period. Black homeownership in South Central Los Angeles approached 40% by the 1920s while the city’s African American population grew from 63774 in 1940 to 334916 by 1960. By 1960 roughly 70% of the population of the broader South Los Angeles area was African American as Black families increasingly acquired homes beyond the older Central Avenue corridor. unknown

Stobart Was A Classical Scholar A University Of Cambridge Lecturer An Hm Inspector Of Schools And The Bbc's First Director Of Education. After The War He Helped Organize The 1924 British Empire Exhibition At Wembley And In 1925 Joined The Bbc As Its First Director Of Education. He Was Responsible For Two Long-Lasting Programs Children's Hour And The Epilogue And According To One Source Suggested The Bbc's Motto 'Nation Shall Speak Peace Unto Nation'. He Also Proposed Creating A New Cultural Network To Be Named The Minerva Programme After The Roman Goddess Of Wisdom But This Idea Was Turned Down And Was Not Realised Until The Creation Of 'The Third Programme' At The End Of The Second World War. Stobart Became Well-Known All Over The World For His Regular New Year's Eve Broadcast 'The Grand Good-Night'. He Disagrees With Edward Gibbon's Pessimistic View Of The Decline And Fall Of The Roman Empire Pointing Out That 'The Mere Notion Of Empire Continuing To Decline And Fall For Five Centuries Is Ridiculous' And Remarking That 'This Is One Of The Cases Which Prove That History Is Made Not So Much By Heroes Or Natural Forces As By Historians' Since 'If All The Roman Historians Had Perished And Only The Inscriptions Remained We Should Have A Very Different Picture Of The Roman Empire A Picture Much Brighter And I Think Much More Faithful To Truth.' He Admires The Romans For Their Law Discipline Engineering And Especially Their Sanitation But It Is Clear That He Prefers The Greeks For Their Art Philosophy Mathematics And Literature.
