A MODEL FOR THE MAINTAINING OF STUDENTS OF CHOICE ABILITIES AT THE UNIVERSITY AND PRINCIPALLY IN ORDER TO THE MINISTRY

1658rif. ST16442s.l.: s.n. Printed Anno Domini 1658. FIRST EDITION. 190 x 135 mm. 7 1/2 x 5 3/8". 3 p.l. 14 pp. complete. 20th century vellum-backed marbled boards flat spine with vertical titling. Front pastedown with bookplate of the Fox Pointe Collection. Wing P-2842B; ESTC R207754. ◆Text lightly washed and pressed but still crisp faint foxing to lower edge of title page otherwise a fine fresh copy in an unworn binding. Written by an opinionated English cleric this is an extraordinarily rare pamphlet proposing an unusual fund to support young 17th century scholars. According to DNB the scheme outlined in the present work was meant "to support the university studies of young men of promise seeking entry into the ministry." The plan "was approved by John Worthington and Anthony Tuckney and had the support also of John Arrowsmith DD Ralph Cudworth William Dillingham DD and Benjamin Whichcote. The fund raised about £900 and it appears that William Sherlock afterwards dean of St Paul's received assistance from this fund during his studies at Peterhouse Cambridge until 1660 when he graduated BA. Those entrusted with administering the fund sent Poole regular reports on students interviewed and the ratings they had received in philosophy logic and languages. The scheme was abandoned at the Restoration." Poole 1624 - 79 was the author of a number of controversialist pamphlets on subjects ranging from Unitarianism to preaching by lay persons before undertaking his major work: a synthesis of critical biblical commentaries "Synopsis criticorum aliorumque sacrae scripturae interpretum." This is one of his scarcest writings: ESTC lists seven copies two in North America while ABPC and RBH record just two copies at auction. s.n. Printed Anno Domini unknown books

Pair of 1830 Letters from T. H. Gallaudet to Rev. J. F. Schroeder Concerning the "Mechanism of Language" the American Colonization Society Students Going to Liberia and His Departure from the Hartford Asylum

1830rif. List3856Hartford Connecticut 1830. Pair of autograph letters signed by Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet to Rev. J. F. Schroeder. Two single-page stampless letters; the first without postal markings the second with red circular Hartford postmark. Folds small section of loss very good. A pair of 1830 letters from Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet to Rev. J. F. Schroeder written from Hartford during Gallaudet's final months at the American Asylum for the Education and Instruction of the Deaf and Dumb. In the first letter Gallaudet asks Schroeder to send him "the Mechanism of Language & the little manuscript book" and then turns to the American Colonization Society: "Will you not preach for the benefit of the Am. Col. Society on the 4th of July. The object is a noble one & your denominations too are taking a deep interest in it. Three go from the African Mission School here to Liberia in the fall." The second letter written a little over a month later concerns Gallaudet's own uncertain future and a request from Schroeder for assistance with instruction at his institution. Gallaudet apologizes for his silence explaining that he had been waiting to see "what turn my affairs would take" as "I expect to leave the Asylum this fall"; he had "lately had a proposal to go to Europe on the business of a public Institution; but feel unable yet to decide" and would most likely not go. He also reports that "Mr. Weld has not yet signified his acceptance of the appointment of Principal of the Asylum" though "He is now here & I hope that soon this matter will be brought to an issue & that he will conclude to come." Gallaudet closes by telling Schroeder that he hoped eventually to propose "some measure" to furnish the aid sought "in the way of instructions in your Institution" but that several weeks would have to pass before he could write more definitively.

Substantial edge wear reinforced with cello tape repaired tear and large area of loss to rear wrapper some dust-soiling to covers. Ink ownership inscription on front blank belonging to Ruth W. Lee otherwise internally clean. A delightfully homespun pamphlet containing the revised edition of the various rituals of the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority one of the "Divine Nine" sororities of the HBCU community founded at Howard University in 1913 and still active today. According to the organization's own website Delta Sigma Theta is "committed to sisterhood scholarship service and addressing the social issues of the time.and has become one of the preeminent service-based sororities with more than 350000 initiated members and over 1050 chartered chapters worldwide." The present work was issued by the Ritual Revision Committee whose names are listed here along with a note from the committee chairman Edna B. Johnson-Morris and a Preface from the committee which includes notes of gratitude to various members including honorary member Mary McLeod Bethune thanking her for "The Beacon Light." The body of the work contains chapters on conducting both grand chapter sessions and regular meetings the initiation ceremony the establishment of new chapters conferring honorary status the process of reinstatement the pledge ceremony the funeral ceremony the observance of memorials dedication exercises the order of business for chapter meetings and closing ceremonies for both types of meetings. Much of the work is literally comprised of the scripts for these various processes and ceremonies. These chapters are followed by the text of the DST "National Hymn" sheet music for "How We Love Thy Name" and the text for the sorority's prayer oath and the "Sorority Charge." "As a sisterhood comprised primarily of Black college-educated women the Sorority seriously considers the issues impacting the Black community and boldly confronts the challenges of African Americans and hence all Americans. Over the years a wide range of programs addressing education health international development and the strengthening of African American families have evolved. The major programs of the Sorority are based upon the Five-Point Programmatic Thrust: economic development educational development international awareness and involvement physical and mental health and political awareness and involvement" - Delta Sigma Theta Sorority Inc. website. Printed works issued by the Delta Sigma Theta Sorority are exceedingly rare. OCLC reports just a few items of any type printed before 1970 along with just a few institutional collections relating to various chapters of the sorority containing material before 1950. The present work is not separately listed in OCLC and very likely not present in the chapter collections. unknown books

[Scotland - History of Higher Education - Ontario - Farming] Macfarlane, Alexander; Macfarlane, JamesABAA

Archive of Letters with Some Photographs of Scottish-Canadian Farmer James Macfarlane and His Nephew Dr. Alexander Macfarlane With Much Concerning Farming in Ontario and the Founding of the University of Dundee

1903rif. List2990Dover and Chatham Ontario; Edinburgh and Blairgowrie Scotland 1903. Seventy-eight pieces: seven 2.5 x 4" photographs mounted on heavy cardstock; with seventeen letters from Alexander to James Macfarlane fifty-two from James to Alexander Macfarlane and two from others to Alexander Macfarlane. Fourteen from 1853-1882; eleven from 1883-1885; thirteen from 1886; twelve from 1887; thirteen from 1888; eight from 1889-1903. Sorted chronologically. Envelopes good to very good; letters generally near fine. Alexander Macfarlane 1851-1913 was a Scottish physicist mathematician and logician. He earned a D.Sc. from the University of Edinburgh in 1878; following this he would teach at the University of St. Andrews the University of Edinburgh the University of Texas at Austin and Lehigh University. Macfarlane earned a number of accolades including elections to many scientific and mathematical societies and an honorary doctorate from the University of Michigan. After his retirement in 1894 Alexander Macfarlane moved to a farm in Ontario left to him by his uncle James who is his correspondent herein. Much less is known about James Macfarlane; born in Scotland in 1806 he immigrated to North America by way of New York in 1835. He purchased land in Dover Township now Chatham Ontario in 1853 and was elected the town's reeve in 1879. At the time of this correspondence he was a farmer by occupation. The photographs in the collection-portraits of unknown individuals-are likely his as they are from photography studios in the Brantford and Toronto area and seem to date from before Alexander Macfarlane's arrival in the colony. James Macfarlane's letters to his nephew mainly written between 1886 and 1889 give detailed descriptions of farm life and logistics in 19th-century Ontario. He grew corn wheat beans clover and hay raised pigs and cows and kept a number of workhorses alongside a few seasonal employees. The elder Macfarlane describes the state of his crops the health of his animals and especially his finances taxes and employees' wages; he writes of "a constant fear of running aground" March 17 1887. However he also occasionally discusses academic or political affairs - it is unclear what education Macfarlane had or what political experience besides his reeveship but from his writing it seems not insignificant. One prohibition-related incident in 1887 especially stands out: "During the night between last Saturday & Sunday there was a dynamite explosion in front of the handsome residence of H. Cummings Esq. of Chatham - damage but no one hurt. It is believed it was the doing of the Chatham grogocracy - Mr. C. favours prohibition - Tories do not". August 10 1887 This letter dates the incident to late on the 6th or early on the 7th of August 1887; we do not find the explosion mentioned in local newspapers from the time. Alexander Macfarlane's letters which comprise most of the earlier letters in the group focus on his burgeoning academic career. In 1882 when the majority of his letters were written he had applied and was waiting to hear about a position as Chair of Mathematics at University College Dundee now the University of Dundee which was then just being formed. Besides occasional discussions of work in which he is currently engaged Macfarlane writes about his tactics for bettering his chances at the Chair; for example: "I have just received some information which indicates that I shall have an excellent chance of being successful. Rev. Mr. Tait who was our minister before he left Blairgowrie for Newport opposite Dundee happens to be a very intimate friend of the founder of the College Miss Baxter of Balgavies. I saw from the first that it would be important to secure his cooperation; he has been very active in his support. Recently he was staying at Balgavies and when the College was discussed he spoke highly in my favour. He has persuaded Miss Baxter to take some active steps in my favour. Copies of all the applications etc. are sent to her which seems to indicate that a proposed appointment is submitted to her for approval." September 19 1882 The wait is difficult for Macfarlane and he frequently comments with displeasure on related workplace politics. For instance he is upset by the choice of William Peterson-whom he describes as "a fop" October 3 1882-for Principal of the new university: "Peterson had this advantage that many of the electors had a bias in favour of a Classical man for the office of Principal. He got only a second class at Oxford. I say nothing on the subject but I have heard others express an opinion that a mistake has been made." August 13 1882 And later: "Most people express themselves as greatly surprised at the choice the Dundee Council made of a Principal. My theory of the matter is that Professor Donaldson with the view of furthering his own candidature wished to ingratiate himself with Professor Sellars after he saw that Mr Porter would not be accepted by the Council. I feel that the Council may do anything as they seem nearly incapable of forming an independent opinion." September 27 1882 When he does not receive the Chair Macfarlane shares his thoughts with his uncle about the state of Scottish Universities especially that they "have no reputation for scholarship" and that the Scottish people "need not expect learning to flourish at their Universities" November 23 1882. Of course Macfarlane's career turned out fine despite this setback; in 1895 he tells James not unfairly that "I am considered one of the foremost thinkers of the day in the field of exact science" March 21. Overall a look at the lives and activities of an uncle and nephew with extremely different careers; of interest both to scholars of Ontario history and farming and to historians of science and higher education. unknown books

Salem Indian Training School. Chemawa Oregon

1919rif. 13163Salem Or. 1919. 90pp. Oblong octavo. Original illustrated tan wrappers printed in darker tan. Wrappers chipped rubbed and soiled small tape repair to bottom of front wrapper. Minor to moderate foxing and staining to text minor damage to two pages part of one page appears to be a fold-out panorama which is mostly lacking. Good only. . A very rare promotional pamphlet illustrating the opportunities awaiting Native American youth at the Salem Indian Training School in Chemawa Oregon. The wrapper title is Salem U.S. Vocational School Chemawa Oregon. The Salem Indian Training School opened in early 1880 as one of the first Native American boarding schools in the country of course intended to be an instrument of assimilation for local indigenous peoples. Opened as an elementary school Salem was a fully-accredited high school by 1927. The school is still open and has been for some time known as the Chemawa Indian School named for the Chemawa band of the Kalapuya people of the Willamette Valley; its own website describes the school as "the oldest continuously operated boarding school for Native American students in the United States." The present work includes a title leaf and four pages of explanatory text about the school with the remainder of the contents comprised of full-page photographs illustrating a wide variety of subjects at the institution. The work opens with photographic portraits of four white government officials including the superintendent of the Salem school Harwood Hall. This is followed by the explanatory text describing the general area around Chemawa as well as various aspects of the school such as its academics boys and girls "industries" farm social life newspaper The Chemawa American and more. The most striking photograph is a folding "Panoramic View of Chemawa Indian School" which is present here in its entirety measuring 5.5 x 21.5 inches. Other photographs picture various landmarks around Oregon but mostly center on the school's campus and activities. These include photos of campus buildings and spaces dormitories hospital auditorium academic building girls' industrial building greenhouse prune orchard the "piggery" classrooms and other interiors sewing blacksmith shop gymnasium dormitory rooms and parlors dressmaking carpentry shop bakery "fruit room" boiler room tailor shop science lab clubs and sports teams boys' and girls' basketball boys' football track baseball Sigma Phi Delta Society and three other literary societies Mandolin and Guitar Club Boys Battalion Excelsior Literary Society group photographs of the 1918 and 1919 graduating class the latter showing twenty students holding a pennant reading "Excellence Means Labor" and more. A small card is affixed to the title leaf stating that "This booklet was printed entirely within our own shop" so very likely by Native American students whose print shop is also illustrated within. The work is very similar to another publication for the Sherman Institute in California produced around the same time. OCLC records just two copies both in Oregon at the State Library and the University of Oregon. unknown books

[History of Education - SUNY Albany] [William F Phelps] Unknown AuthorABAA

Abstracts of Lectures by Professors Bowens Clark and Phelps - 1848 & 1849" Transcribed by an Unknown Student at the New York State Normal School

1849rif. List3731Albany New York 1849. Notebook measuring 7 ¾ x 10 ½ inches. 124pp filled out totaling appx. 49000 words. With two loose essays 7pp. Front cover detached with wear especially to edges and spine; good. Contents excellent. Overall very good. A notebook containing transcriptions of lectures by Profs. William F. Phelps Silas Bown and William W. Clark of the New York State Normal School now SUNY Albany. The three professors were graduates of the school's first class in 1846 and became professors there upon graduating. The notebook is highlighted by ten pages of notes documenting Phelps' extensive and detailed lecture on schoolteaching. The lecture dates to early in Phelps' career shortly after his own graduation; the educational pioneer would go on to preside over a number of normal schools and the American Normal School Association found the National Education Association serve as vice-president of the first International Conference of Educators and author textbooks and manuals for teaching. The lecture is titled "Organization of the school" and is divided into sixteen sections covering different aspects of teaching. He opens: "The organization of the school is the most important step in the teacher's duties and the most important and critical time in his life as a teacher; this is especially with the young teacher. He enters the school as it were an apprentice and is to work upon the most delicate material without having first learned his trade . the material upon which the teacher acts is immortal and an injury done to it will last forever." Teaching for Phelps had to involve more than just "taking up a reading book and calling out a class and hearing them read around then commanding them to take their seats" and repeating the same process with every subject-especially for a new teacher on his first day. He lays out his preferred first-day procedure-an introduction by the trustees then a short speech followed by a "little song" or "amusing or instructive anecdote"-but emphasizes that "The spirit of kindness should be breathed forth in every sentence; nor should he forget to speak kindly to those he meets in the streets." He then turns to the classification of students with short exams on the various subjects along with careful attention to the students so "that you may learn their habits" again emphasizing the teacher's attitude towards his pupils: "He should learn the names of the scholars as soon as possible; for it is very disagreeable not to be able to call the name of a scholar when you wish to speak to him. Never call a boy Mr. or a girl Miss; for you miss it every time you Miss your school-girls it will make them grow too fast." Next Phelps makes suggestions for getting one's preferred textbooks adopted. One can appeal to the trustees and then to the parents and then if this fails the teacher can follow Phelps' scheme of purchasing the preferred books himself lending them out for free and "exciting a deep interest in their lessons": "The parents will soon begin to wonder at the change that has taken place in their children once they could not persuade them to look at their books but now they do nothing but study. You will thus wake up the parents to a sense of the utility of the books". Parents according to Phelps also need to be convinced that a longer lesson is not necessarily a better one: "If the teacher gives them long lessons and thus runs them through . they call him a smart man." However a short lesson is easier to learn and well-learned lessons "will soon cause the objections of parents to give way". His other advice concerns seating arrangements-"according to size if you are a lover of symmetry"-how to dismiss students for recess and tracking and managing absences and tardies which he states should mainly be managed by making the lessons interesting and the classroom pleasant. He closes by describing how the teacher ought to enact "a missionary spirit": "Let the first two or three weeks of your school be spent in visiting the parents in the district and becoming acquainted with them and giving them an opportunity of becoming acquainted with you. . Do not forget to talk to them about their children. Show them that you are laboring for the good of those children - that you love them and wish to do them all the good in your power. If you have the teacher's spirit they will soon find it out . If you possess the art of being agreeable in private conversation and in addition to this exercise true politeness in all occations sic you will never have any trouble in finding a pleasant boarding place. And when you do go there you will find as good a living as you want and the pies and sweet cake will be on hand. You will also be able to teach the parents many things . and then you may consider your school as 'Thoroughly Organized'." One imagines that Phelps' meticulous lecture with its emphases on kindness and making schooling enjoyable for students and parents was quite inspiring to the soon-to-be teacher; the practices he outlines set the foundation for his future career. Bowen's lectures cover rhetoric and composition-especially focusing on good taste defined as "the power of receiving pleasure from the beautiful of nature or art"-and Clark's cover chemistry natural philosophy and electricity. Throughout there are interesting comments that expose the professors' underlying philosophies and thus approaches to teaching: for instance Bowen comments that "Persons by nature are differently constituted some naturally possessing a more refined taste than others" and Clark states that "All knowledge is acquired through the senses" and that "Natural History is not a science" but mere classification. The notebook also includes a short lecture on music a transcription of a chapter of Charles Babbage's Ninth Bridgewater Treatise and two short apparently original essays one on technological progress and the other on wisdom. Of interest to historians of education and of the early days of SUNY Albany. books
