This volume is remarkable as it was designed for teenagers and clearly lays out scientific facts regarding menstruation conception pregnancy and even some social issues such as how to deal with Sexual Attraction. This volume was a companion to a book aimed at teenage boys "Attaining Manhood." George Washington Corner was an American physician embryologist and pioneer of the contraceptive pill.

rif. 1707819th c. Women's Education Archive consist of 4 Autograph Letters and 1 Autograph Note by a girl student at Chowan Baptist Female Institute in Murfreesboro NC. 1878. The 4 handwritten letters are addressed from Josephine Somers to her younger brother "Allie" in Matthews County VA. The letters are dated Jan. 1878; April 14 1878; May 1878; and June 9 1878. In the first letter Josephine writes on school life and encourages her young brother's education: "I pay you very many complements for your writing. I think you can write very well. You have improved very much and I hope you may continue to improve. You must keep trying to learn. I am trying to learn all I can. I study with all my might I think I am doing very well." In the May letter she writes on school life and social outings: "I went on the excursion and had a very good time. We went on Saturday so you see we did not take any school time to go. We went to Chowan County and we went ashore and had a picnic we had ice lemonade and cake besides other things." She also writes about the upcoming journey home at the end of the schoolyear: "I expect I will have to come home by myself. Yates is going to Princesann Princess Anne Co. after school is over. Yates and I will part in Norfolk and we may part forever for all I know. The final letter has a more alarmed tone as Josephine urgently asks her brother for information on their Mother's health. "Aunt Becky wrote me a letter last week and said Mother was sick and I have been very uneasy ever since. You must write soon and tell me if she has stopped her chills. I was sorry to hear that she was sick. You must tend to her good until I come home and then I will take care of her." The Autograph note is filled with notes poetry names of her classmates and her school and doodles on two sides of a sheet of paper. At this time handwritten memory albums were a common way for female classmates to remember their school times together. Young ladies would live at boarding houses or dormitories while pursuing their studies and the lines of poetry on this page would have been copied into pages of friend's keepsake books before they parted ways for their hometowns at the end of the academic year. The May 1878 letter directly addresses the heartache at leaving school friends behind when returning home. "Yates and I will part in Norfolk and we may part forever for all I know." Chowan Baptist Female Institute was founded in 1848 as a four-year women's college first opening its first class with just 11 students.

rif. 17080Small archive of 4 Autograph Letters by a student from Moravian Seminary in Bethlehem PA. Dated 1872 to 1874. All letter from student Elizabeth "Lizzie" Rickster to her friend Dora Campbell of York PA. Each letter is 4 pages 7 ¼ x 4 ¾ in. Each letter comes with original mailing envelope. Letters dated Sept. 30 1872; Feb. 25 1873; Feb. 7 1874; and April 6 1874. Lizzie writes on schoolwork and social activities such as winter sleigh rides. She writes to her friend about translating German words and phrases and Lizzie excitedly anticipates getting her photograph taken so that she can exchange portraits with Dora. Writing about her studies and future beyond seminary in letter from Sept. 30 1872: "It did seem very funnie sic to resume my studies but I as it had to be done I made up my mind to hurry and do it so that I can get through soon. Then for a long rest from sorry and care free. I remember how you used to look forward to that time but yet your school days were your best days for when you leave school then trouble commences if not at once very soon and then we get married and have little ones to take care of and various other duties making our life one of anxiety and care." In the 1873 letter Lizzie mentions German translations for the first time: "Dora your 'Brief' translated from German means letter." She mentions German translations in the next letter as well as other studies: "Let me see if you can make out this German until next time and if you can write and tell me what it means. I have to take a singing lesson this afternoon and I haven't' looked at my piece since last time." In the final letter Lizzie writes about school and anticipates an upcoming visit between the friends. "Our school will begin again on Wednesday.I'm am going to have some pictures taken this term and if you give me some of yours I will give you one of mine. Just think three months until I see you. I can scarcely wait." The handwriting in the final letter is much looser possibly since this student had just been on school vacation or perhaps showing growing closeness and more informal relationship between the friends. The Moravian Seminary traces its roots to the earliest institution of female education in the United States-the Bethlehem Female Seminary founded in 1742 by Countess Benigna Zinzendorf. BFS originally only provided primary education but due to overwhelming demand for secondary education institutions for women in 1785 BFS reorganized as a secondary educational institution that became known as the Moravian Female Seminary. In 1913 the Seminary officially became a College and in 1954 merged with a male institution to become the coeducational Moravian College. All letters tender along original fold lines from mailing.

Bergman-Österberg was an advocate of women's emancipation directly encouraging women to be active in both sport and education. Dartford was one of the first physical education instructor's college in England Osterberg had founded one earlier. "Madam Osterberg's is intended to be a training-school for the body . Its raison d'etre to produce as nearly as may be women who shall be physically perfect."

In 1964 Eliot School student body was 96% African-American children. Housing policy discrimination explained some of the skewed school demographics. Redlining restricted African-Americans from living in certain areas of the city keeping them within North and Northeast Portland where their children ended up going to school. Additionally Portland like many other cities across the country experienced the "white flight" of families moving out of cities into the suburbs. Around 1964 one year after this photo helped spark the question on de facto segregation the district began allowing African-American families to voluntarily transfer to other schools in the neighborhood in an effort to integrate.

rif. 17126African American Education Integrated multiracial grade school. c. 1890s-1910. Original silver gelatin print photograph. Mounted on board 8 x 10 in. Photograph dimensions: 6.75 x 8.75 in. Handwritten in blue ink on verso: "Grade School - St Joseph Mo. / Nina Case - Mother of Ninita P. Johnson & Harry E. Potter Jr." 44 students lined up in three rows with female teacher standing behind the last row. 12 of the students appear to be African-American children.

This photograph comes from a rural school as one student in the front row has attended class that day barefoot. In the 19th century more women than ever before were entering the workforce as teachers; for rural teachers such as the one photographed here conditions could be challenging with as many as 60 students in one classroom and limited resources and support. Still women flocked to teaching as it offered independence and sense of purpose outside. Working in education gave many women a window onto a wider world of ideas politics and public usefulness.

rif. 17134Girls' Education Original cross-stitch alphabet sampler from two 8-year old girls. 1814. In frame: 15.5 x 20.5". Alphabet cross-stitched in capital and lower case letters. Vowels numbers 0-9 and floral designs in backstitch. Girls' names Verna L Haywood and Elizabeth Hope stitched below along with "at best 1814" "Age eight years" and "Give thanks to the Lord". This piece has interestingly been worked by both girls. The fabric upon which they stitched have been sewn together in a vertical line down the center. The stiches on either side are distinct; the capital letters on the right half for instance are generally stitched in a more straight line while the letters on the left side have greater variation in height.Samplers were valuable parts of girls' education from the sixteenth to nineteenth centuries as it demonstrated both their skill in needlepoint and their achievements in literacy. From the 1800s the very first schools and academies for young women in America had their students create needlepoint pieces with decorative motifs such as verses or the entire alphabet being stitched on the sampler. The parents of these young women proudly displayed their embroideries as showpieces of their daughter's talent and status. In recent years these samplers have become important in museum collections as representations of early American female education. Some light staining and fading to fabric.
