1870réf. 31292Montgomery 1870. 23 1 blank pp with original printed title wrappers. Text lightly dusted wrappers dirty stitched. This case is a chapter in Alabama's bitter Reconstruction history. Mobile School Commissioners claimed that George L. Putnam Superintendent of the Mobile schools had mishandled funds which were supposed to be used to support the free public schools. Putnam had been appointed Superintendent by N.B. Cloud State Superintendent of Public Instruction whom unreconstructed Alabamans considered a Scalawag. Putnam used public funds as authorized by Cloud for the support of a school for Negroes. The outcome of the case turned on whether the Commissioners were properly established under the laws and Reconstruction Constitution of Alabama. This brief reviews the history of the Mobile School System and the controversy. unknown books
1870réf. 29538Montgomery Alabama: John G. Stokes & Co. State Printers 1870. 7 1 blank pp. Stitched in original printed green wrappers. Light old folds wrappers lightly spotted Very Good. Contemporary inscription at head of front wrapper "Respects of G. Horton Mobile." A Bostonian who had moved to Mobile as a young man Horton was Mayor of Mobile at this time. Previously he had been an advocate of public education and had served on Mobile's school board. During the Civil War he was jailed for Unionist sympathies. During Reconstruction his advocacy of civil rights placed his life in constant danger. The Report is a chapter in Alabama's bitter Reconstruction strife. It attacks Dr. N.B. Cloud State Superintendent of Public Instruction who was regarded by unreconstructed Alabamans as a Scalawag for his support of Reconstruction and the Republican Party. The Report also attacks G.L. Putnam whom Cloud had named Mobile's superintendent of education an appointment which other Mobile educators refused to recognize. Cloud brokered a compromise-- for which he lacked authority-- by making Putnam superintendent of Emerson College known as the 'Blue School' a Negro school run by the American Missionary Association. The Report accuses Cloud and Putnam of illegally diverting public funds to the support of the Blue School. Ellison 1597. John G. Stokes & Co., State Printers unknown books

Nazareth Hall 17521929 was the Moravian school in Nazareth Pennsylvania. It was established by master mason Melchior Rasp in 1754. In 1759 it became the central boarding school for sons of Moravian parents. Later it attained wide fame as a "classical academy." This eventually led to the founding in 1807 of Moravian College and Theological Seminary at Bethlehem PA. The original school was divided into "rooms"; each contained only fifteen or eighteen pupils; these pupils were under the constant supervision of a master; and this master who was generally a theological scholar was the companion and spiritual adviser of his charges. Jacob Cist graduated at the school and worked with the post office department Washington D. C. 1800-08 when he removed to Wilkes Barre PA. There he was appointed postmaster and retained the position until his death 1825. He devoted much of his time to painting and literature contributing for years to The Literary Magazine The Portfolio and to the local papers of Pennsylvania. He invented and patented a mill to grind colors for paints and in 1808 secured a patent for manufacturing a mineral black for printer's ink from Lehigh anthracite coal as a substitute for India ink. For many years he was interested in the mining and the uses of anthracite coal. In 1815 published a pamphlet on the subject. Ludwig Schweinir has evaded the historical record. unknown books
