1935réf. 57636Nashville: State Department of Education 1935. Encouraging Library Acquisitions of African-American Works An interesting bibliography and guide for school librarians in Tennessee during the Great Depression and the tail end of the Harlem Renaissance. This edition was revised in November 1935 and we are unaware of the date of any earlier editions no earlier publications are recorded in OCLC. It was reprinted "through courtesy of the Julius Rosenwald fund" an endowed foundation which contributed large sums to education programs for African Americans in the first half of the 20th century. The bibliography was produced specifically to recommend books to all Black elementary and high school libraries with the mission that "If Negro children are to acquire a knowledge of and respect for the achievement of members of their own race it is essential that books dealing with this subject be made readily available to them." Titles are listed alphabetically by author within sections divided by grade level and subject; those marked with a star "are considered to be of especial value for school libraries." In addition to basic publication information each entry includes the author's race the book's current retail price and a brief annotation describing its content and usefulness to a school library. The compilers present an interesting collection of titles including works by Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston in addition to numerous other children's books histories and other titles that are lesser known today such as NAACP president Mary White Ovington's ZEKE. This list was published by the Tennessee Department of Education during Walter D. Cocking's tenure as commissioner. Shortly afterwards Cocking became dean of the University of Georgia's College of Education until he was fired by Governor Eugene Talmadge in 1941 over alleged support for integration and his connection with the progressive Rosenwald Fund. University of Georgia president Harmon Caldwell threatened to resign unless Cocking was rehired and Cocking was returned briefly to his position. This incensed Talmadge to the degree that he went on public tirade in news outlets and instituted a purge of the Board of Regents replacing them almost entirely with his own supporters using the newly stacked board to fire Cocking again anyway. The so-called "Cocking Affair" was only the first step in what would become an epidemic of ousted educators and administrators purged libraries and interference with education that resulted in all state-supported schools in Georgia losing their accreditation. A valuable look at the state of African-American education in the South in the early 1900s and a useful and interesting bibliography in its own right. Original printed grey wrappers. Small dark stain along top edge throughout otherwise internally and externally clean. Near fine. James Cook "Cocking Affair" in NEW GEORGIA ENCYCLOPEDIA online. unknown

1930réf. 176834Chefoo: Self-help Department Women's Bible School Presbyterian Mission c. 1930. A dainty album of handmade papercuts by Chinese students at the Ai Dao Women's Bible School attached to the American Presbyterian Mission in Chefoo. Throughout the 1930s the school produced various themed papercut collections to raise funds and comparison with other copies of the same title reveals that each was bound in brocade of a unique design. The collection tells the story of seven moral exemplars who all displayed obedience and respectfulness towards their elders even when faced with hardships. The story of Jiang Si is typical: "The mother of this boy demanded fish to eat every day and insisted that all their food be cooked in spring water. This kept the family hard pressed as the son had to waste half of each working day while fishing. His little wife had to make a long trip to get the spring water also. But they did this uncomplainingly till in appreciation of such devotion the fairies gave them a wonderful spring right by their door and in it each day they found two fish!" The education of women became a priority for social reformers in the wake of the May Fourth Movement and schools like Ai Dao were at the forefront of this revolution in education. Landscape octavo 181 x 234 mm ff. 8. Papercut showing a master and his student mounted on title page 7 similar papercuts with captioned glassine guards. Original decorative silk brocade black thread xianzhuang stitching edges untrimmed. Explanatory sheet loosely inserted as issued.

1850réf. 8857Paris 1850. Pencil pen and wash drawing with numerous detailed measurements. A fascinating and beautiful drawing--or "rendu"--of an ancient Roman sarcophagus. A fine drawing from an architectural student at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris the most influential architectural school in existence during much of the 18th century the whole of the 19th century and the first part of the 20th century. 'Students were eligible for the Ecole if they were at least fifteen years old or under thirty. They began with the seconde classe in which they competed in the concours d'émulation. These alternated between an esquisse --a rough sketch for which up to twelve hours was allowed--and a rendu --the large-scale finished drawing for which one to three months were allowed.Two to four years were usually required for a student to accumulate enough credits to enter the première classe. The same system was followed again usually for two to three years after which the student should have accumulated enough credits to compete for the Grand Prix de Rome. The winner of the Grand Prix was entitled to five years study under the auspices of the French Academy in Rome. For each of his first three years he was required to submit an analytical study of an ancient monument. For his fourth year he had to submit a complete reconstruction of a major classical work. For his fifth year he was required to submit an original work designed to a program of his own invention. "This study of the sarcophagus of Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus was part of an Ecole de Beaux Arts student's portfolio. The sarcophagus was one of many in the Scipio family tomb on the Via Appia just outside of Roma and it dates from c. 290 B.C. The obituary text reads English "Lucius Cornelius Scipio Barbatus son of Gnaeus a valiant gentleman and wise whose fine form matched his bravery very well was aedile consul and censor among you he conquered Taurasia and Cisauna in fact Samnium he overcame all the Lucanian lands and brought back hostages."
