1967réf. 171271967. Black Power School photograph 1967 documents community education for Black children in Nashville during the city's transition from the integration campaigns of the early Civil Rights Movement toward Black Power programs emphasizing Black history political education and community self-determination. Nashville had begun gradual public-school desegregation in 1957 but integration remained incomplete a decade later. During the summer of 1967 the North Nashville Student Summer Project operated a "liberation school" whose Black teachers offered instruction in mathematics science humanities civics and Black history; after controversy over its Black Power curriculum led to its removal from St. Anselm's Episcopal Chapel and suspension of the larger summer project in August classes continued for a time on Saturdays in nearby Watkins Park. The photograph's August 16 1967 filing date and press caption recording a "Black Power School" meeting in a Nashville park place the image within this specific period of conflict over Black-controlled education in the city. Original silver gelatin press photograph 8 x 10 in. Nashville Tennessee 1967. Twelve African American children and youths sit together on a park bench while several adults stand behind them; white reporters and members of the press gather nearby recording the outdoor class as a news event. Typed press caption pasted to the verso reads: "Black Power School holds classes in a park in Nashville Tenn." An original press filing stamp on the verso is dated August 16 1967. The presence of reporters is particularly relevant to the photograph's immediate context: earlier that month testimony before the U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee alleging that Nashville's liberation school taught racial hatred had generated national press coverage while its organizers defended Black Power education as an assertion of Black self-determination rather than racial hostility. The image records children receiving instruction outside a conventional school building while journalists observe preserving both the educational activity itself and the intense press attention directed toward Black Power organizing in Nashville in 1967. That year also saw Stokely Carmichael speak at Tennessee State University in April followed the next day by a confrontation between Black students and police that resulted in injuries and more than forty arrests placing debates over Black Power policing and racial inequality at the center of Nashville public life. Original press caption filing stamp and pencil annotations on verso. Approximately 1 x 1½ in. area of surface damage and loss at lower left corner; otherwise very good condition. unknown books
1916réf. 166221916. Carpenter Rachel A. M. Photograph album of St. Mary's School Wantage 1916 to 1918 documents the daily life of girls at an English school during the final years of the First World War. Twenty-three photographs record organized sports theatrical performance swimming leisure school uniforms faculty friends and the grounds of St. Mary's with handwritten captions and dates identifying every image. The album preserves a student's record of girls' education beyond the classroom including field hockey cricket tennis swimming and dramatic performance activities that formed an increasingly visible part of female secondary education in early twentieth-century Britain. Twenty-three gelatin silver photographs dated 1916 to 1918 mounted on 14 card-stock pages in original green cloth boards titled "Photo Sketches." Album measures 6.25 × 7.5 inches; photographs range from 2 × 2.75 inches to 3.5 × 5.5 inches. Carpenter identifies friends by full names initials and nicknames including "Tufty." Several views show students in uniform at leisure while others depict the field hockey cricket and tennis teams swimming in "the Baths" faculty members and campus grounds. Three photographs record the cast of a school production of Blue Beard performed during the summer term of 1918; the album retains a program for the production. Founded in 1873 as a girls' school St. Mary's belonged to the expansion of formal secondary education for girls in late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century England. Carpenter's photographs show how that education included organized athletics theatrical performance recreation and student social life during the wartime years of 1916 to 1918. The named and captioned photographs provide unusually specific evidence of individual pupils school activities and the rhythms of campus life.

1904réf. 154021904. Gayaza School classroom lantern slide 1904 documents girls receiving classroom instruction at the pioneering Church Missionary Society school established at Gayaza in Buganda present-day Uganda. Founded in 1904 as a school for girls Gayaza developed into what is now Gayaza High School identified by the school as Uganda's oldest all-girls boarding secondary school. The image dates from the institution's founding period and records African girls engaged in reading under two female teachers providing unusually detailed visual evidence of girls' education within an early twentieth-century missionary school in Uganda. Original glass lantern slide 3¼ x 4 inches published by the Young People's Missionary Movement of the United States and Canada. Scratched into the negative beneath the image is the identification: "Gayaza A Class in School." Girls of varying school ages occupy the classroom; approximately half sit on the floor holding open books while others sit on a bench at a table with books before them. Two female teachers stand among the pupils. Classroom equipment includes a blackboard on an easel two wall maps a clock and a globe resting on a cabinet. The girls wear garments wrapped or draped around the lower body. These details record both instructional practice and the material furnishings available in the school's early classroom. The slide also documents how images of African mission schools circulated beyond Uganda. The Young People's Missionary Movement described lantern slides as its most extensively used form of pictorial material and supplied such images to mission boards for missionary education. This example therefore preserves two related historical records: the classroom at Gayaza and the presentation of girls' education in Uganda to North American Christian audiences. Gayaza subsequently developed into a secondary boarding school for girls retaining its Church foundation. unknown books
1940réf. 160881940. Edith Reverend Mother. Autograph letter signed to William Nourse December 22 1940 records wartime conditions at Ascot Priory while its Anglican religious community operated St. Augustine's School for girls during the Blitz. Written three months into the German bombing campaign the letter describes bombs falling near the Priory quieter nights as Christmas approached and the financial strain affecting the institution's supporters. Ascot Priory was the mother house of the Society of the Most Holy Trinity an Anglican women's religious community whose work included nursing care of orphans and education; St. Augustine's School was among the schools operated by the sisters. Edith Reverend Mother. December 22 1940. Autograph letter signed to William Nourse on Ascot Priory letterhead Ascot Berkshire England. Writing three days before Christmas Edith acknowledges the continuing support of friends despite wartime hardship: "I appreciate the kindness of our friends more than ever this year for I know how much financially hit everyone is." Her Christmas wishes immediately turn to the war: "I do hope you will have as happy a Christmas is possible Xmas 1941 bring us peace!" She then gives a direct account of the danger experienced at Ascot: "We have had some bombs unpleasantly near but lately I am glad to say the nights have been much quieter." The letter was written during the Blitz when German aerial attacks on Britain had begun in September 1940 and would continue into May 1941. Ascot Priory had housed the Society of the Most Holy Trinity since the nineteenth century; its sisters maintained religious medical charitable and educational work including the care of girls at St. Christopher's Orphanage and instruction at St. Augustine's School. Edith's December 1940 letter records how that women-led institution continued during wartime through a concise firsthand account of nearby bombing strained finances and hopes for peace. Her remarks are especially immediate because they were written during the first winter of the Blitz rather than retrospectively after the war. No condition defects are specified in the supplied description. A contemporary account of the British home front from the woman responsible for an Anglican community and girls' school during the aerial campaign of 1940. unknown books

1916réf. 156401916. Collection of 43 original vintage photographs documenting the Public School Gardening Movement in Queens New York City 1916-1920 provides concentrated visual evidence of Progressive Era educational reform linking urban environmental transformation to child development and civic formation. Produced at the height of the national school gardening movement which flourished between 1900 and 1920 these photographs capture the integration of nature study playground reform tenement house activism and City Beautiful urbanism into the daily life of immigrant and working class children. The images support research in Progressive Era reform environmental education immigration history urban studies and the construction of civic identity through public schooling demonstrating how agricultural labor was reframed as moral physical and democratic training within dense metropolitan neighborhoods. Forty three original photographs primarily silver gelatin prints Queens New York City 1916-1920. Most measure approximately 2 by 4 inches with several bearing manuscript dates between 1916 and 1920 and occasional notations identifying individuals or activities. The photographs depict schoolchildren planting seeds watering beds harvesting produce carrying baskets of vegetables and working collaboratively under teacher supervision in organized garden plots. Visual evidence indicates structured rows tool distribution and adult oversight underscoring the pedagogical framework rather than informal recreation. The movement in New York was shaped by the work of reformer Frances Griscom Parsons who established the Children's School Farm in Hell's Kitchen in 1902 to provide immigrant youth living amid warehouses factories and docks with access to cultivated land. Parsons articulated gardening as instruction in "brotherhood cooperation self respect and the dignity of labor" envisioning children as "little farmers" rehearsing democratic citizenship within an idealized urban microcosm structured into "boroughs" with its own elected governance. The Queens photographs reflect the diffusion of this model into outer borough public schools during the final years of the First World War and immediate postwar period. The timing of the archive coincides with national concern over urban crowding industrialization and the assimilation of immigrant communities as well as wartime food production campaigns that reinforced agricultural instruction in schools. School gardens functioned simultaneously as environmental intervention civic laboratory and instrument of Americanization embedding Progressive reform ideals directly into children's bodily practice and daily routine. The photographs materially document how educational institutions operationalized nature study principles and urban reform agendas on the ground offering granular evidence of children's participation in structured agricultural labor within New York City's public school system. Minor edge wear and light surface handling marks to several prints; occasional light fading consistent with age; manuscript annotations legible. Overall very good condition. A cohesive visual archive illuminating the intersection of urban reform environmental education and immigrant childhood in Progressive Era New York. unknown books

The Rand School of Social Science was one of the most important schools for workers and socialists in the United States. Established in 1906 it offered a variety of courses on contemporary topics traditional subjects and socialist theory taught by intellectual leaders of the socialist movement distinguished academicians and trade union leaders. The growth of the School along with the increased strength of the socialist movement provoked the New York State Assembly to appoint a special Committee to investigate radical activities in the state. Under the chairmanship of Senator Clayton R. Lusk this committee engaged in a campaign of harassment against the Rand School and its administrative board the American Socialist Society and attempted to close the school by court ordered injunction.

Highly interesting homemade album of Cricket Scores available nowhere else specifically documenting the triumphs of three young members of the Blomfield family namely: E.G. Edward George C.J. Charles James and R.T. Reginald Theodore. One wonders if the present album was created in order to promote friendly competition between the brothers two of whom went to Haileybury School and one went to Charterhouse; all three went up to Oxford. There are scores and game synopsis of matches were between Haileybury Charterhouse Marylebone Cricket Club MCC Westminster Trinity College Oxon. Exeter Oxon. and more. One of the more interesting features about the album is that it provides a fascinating record of one family's love of the game: ¶ Edward George 1853-1885 entered Charterhouse School London in 1865 and transfer upon the School's removal to Godalming in 1872; in 1873 he went to Trinity College Oxon. where he earned a B.A. in 1877 and M.A. in 1879; thereafter he served as Curate of St. Mary's Portsea until 1883 and then Vicar of St. Mark's Woolston until his death in London in 1885. ¶ Charles James 1855-1928 went to Haileybury School; he underwent military training at Sandhurst and served as an army officer in India Sudan and Natal. He attained the rank of Major General before his retirement in 1917. NB: this individual is not to be confused with a noted architect of the same name b. 1862 d. 1932. ¶ Reginald Theodore 1856-1942 also went to Haileybury School; he earned his B.A. from Exeter Oxon. in 1880 and M.A. in 1884. He became an architect and was knighted in 1919. He is remembered mainly for his work designing British war memorials. ¶ The parents of the three young men were Rev. George John and his first cousin Isabella Blomfield of Bow Devonshire whose own father Charles James Blomfield was Bishop of London. ¶ At the end is a "Summary of Scores" for the years 1871-1877. Following this in a different hand is the year 1910; although the initial of the last name "Blomfield" remains the same the other initials belong to Reginald Thomas and his two sons Henry George and Austin. ¶ See Stedman Charterhouse Register 1872-1900 passim.

Inscribed on the front pastedown: "In Chancery 8th Circuit. In the matter of the Dissolution of the Buffalo Literary and Scientific Academy. Produced and proven before me as "Stock scrip book" "F" on hearing June 24 1846" The Buffalo High School Association later the Buffalo Literary and Scientific Academy was established in 1827 with ambitious plans for providing a "scientifick literary and military academy." It offered courses in "topography construction of maps navigation fencing ethicks natural theology evidences of Christianity and metaphysicks." Rates for attendance were high and the level of matriculation could not sustain the school. In 1863 Oliver G. Steele wrote "It was the great pet of the city. It was however too expensive for the time failing to reach the great body of our people; and changes of teachers and policy soon brought its career to a close." An act to dissolve the corporation and to provide for the just disposition of the property was passed in 1846.
