Financial difficulties during Reconstruction dominate this Diocese of the Protestant Episcopal Church. Reverend Scull reported that during the year he had "celebrated the Rites of Matrimony on four different occasions viz: Whites 2; Colored 2. He further begs leave to state that on account of the frequent separations between man and wife among the colored people he has determined to celebrate the Rites of Matrimony but seldom between them." Bishop Young reports that he "admitted to the Holy order of Deacons Joseph Robert Love. Mr. Love is a colored man who was educated and employed for some years in teaching in Church Schools in the British West Indies. He asked for no dispensations from the full requirements demanded by the canons but sustained a protracted and searching examination on the full course of study including the Latin and Greek languages. He is to. . . minister to a colored congregation under the supervision of the Rector of S. Johns. And I earnestly hope and pray that this may be but the first beginning of a work of real blessing to that race for whose improvement and elevation we are bound by so many considerations to do all that we can."

In short may you live to see her Eagle if she even has one with his wings extended with one wing in the Pacific Ocean the other at same time in the Atlantic and his tail in the Gulf of Mexico south of Cuba & at the same time drink from the waters of the Ohio."

rif. acs307Florida Federation of Women’s Clubs ca. 1919. Octavo paperbound 198 pp. Fair with lower cover loose and some wear along spine contents tight a few stray penciled check marks. Includes remarks and reports from each chapter located all over the state. On report for instance “The great need of a State-wide compulsory education law in Florida. In my questionnaire prepared for the Biennial last spring I had reluctantly to inform my National Chairman that of Florida’s fifty-four counties only twelve had any compulsory education laws and they are almost perfunctory. Four months of four five-school-day weeks or eighty days’ “schooling” in all for the children of this State! Is it any wonder that our reform schools are overcrowded Isn’t a compulsory-attendance law binding upon parents a crying need. Let each in her own district for a State compulsory-education law which will put the children in school and keep them there during the entire school year. It is often said that a nation’s most valuable asset is its children. They are also a liability. If they are held long enough in the earlier grades by the right sort of teachers -- those with a vision -- they will wish to go on even though their shortsighted parents may want to put them at wage earning. In this connection I recently asked our fine attendance officer for Dade County Mrs. Bain formerly Louisville’s Juvenile Court officer if the Colorado plan had ever been tried in Florida -- of holding parents primarily responsible for truant children. She replied that we have an adult-responsibiity act in Dade County and that in case of chronic truancy as most such cases are she was about to apply that remedy Legislative Committee please note. Florida shares with Georgia and Arkansas the doubtful distinction of being one of the three most illiterate States in the Union -- the third I believe. unknown books

rif. 50402bd2Wake-Brook House 1976. First Edition Stated. Signed and inscribed by Aileen B. Chapman Bicentennial ChairmanOctavo green leatherette hardcover silver letters 144 pp. Very Good in a Very Good mylar protected dust jacket with edgewear that includes light chipping. From dust jacket: This is an important book -- and a valuable one. Probably there has never been another book quite like it. It is the history of Florida schools told from a hundred different viewpoints by the people most intimately involved in educational development. Teachers who devoted their lives to the instruction of youth possess credentials which qualify them to serve as experts on any panel considering school problems or planning school policies. They richly deserve to be listened to and to have their advice taken seriously. In this book however they are not sitting in solemn judgment nor trying to dictate what should be done. They simply report what happened to the schools in which they taught and what happened to the students. But between the lines of these brief reports there lies a wealth of priceless material which should be thoughtfully considered by everyone interested in our schools. We hasten to add however lest we frighten off any readers who may just wish to be informed or entertained that these reports make delightful reading and are often amusing. Anyone who ever attended school and of course that is all of us can identify with the characters and situations described here. Perhaps those who attended only the most modern institutions will react with horror at the idea of walking miles to a rural schoolhouse with outside privies. Perhaps those who received their early education in rural schools will recall those days with nostalgia. But whatever the reaction everyone can read these reports with sympathy and understanding. hardcover books
