16 pages, paper wrappings. Mayo's main topic in this booklet is about providing the structural needs and means for establishing quality education for all. He believes that taxation should be used in order to truly support public schools, and that it is a priority. Teachers also should be of good quality and educated in the profession in order to make schooling effective. In this address he makes it very clear that he truly believes that a good, solid education for everyone could improve not only the children's future, but the future of the country as a whole. As soon as the south started to implement his teachings that they would find their region becomes better for it. It is broken up into several subjects, such as "The Awakening of the People", "Local Taxation for Education" "National Aid for Education" and "The Free Library". Addressing aspects of his vision of a better American education system, Mayo believes he found the solution for the south. Although in segregated schools the need for higher education for African American children was emphasized as well. Measures 9" x 5 3/4". The Department of the Interior for the Bureau of Education felt that the information that Rev A.D. Mayo was both gathering and discussing, especially with his concentration of education in south, this publication would be a beneficial read and a useful resource.

Hardcover. Condition: Fair. 1st Edition. In many ways, we are offering this as a historical object, not reading material. This book was printed in 1653 and belonged to the Reverend Lemuel Hidges (sometimes written Hodges) who was the first pastor of Warwick, Massachusetts - a town on the Massachusetts/New Hampshire border. The settlement there was formed in 1737 and called Gardner's Canada because land there was given to descendants of soldiers who fought in the 1690 Battle of Quebec. Because of American Indian resistance to the settlement there, it was not a safe place to live and it wasn't until 1760 that the town had enough residents to hire a Pastor. Lemuel Hedge, only 26 years old, was to come minister to the scant residents, and he must have brought this book with him. When the Revolutionary War began, Rev. Hedge spoke out against it, and the citizens of Warwick was chastised, and barred from leaving the town. Hedges died in 1777 and is buried in Warwick. I have seen his name written as Hedge, Hodge and Hidge. This book, in the remains of its original, full leather binding, has managed to survive another 241 years (so far). All the leather from the spine and front cover is gone, leaving just the book-board and sewn page edges. Leather remains on the rear cover. Front cover is attached by only one cord. Front endpaper detached but set neatly back in place. The name Joseph Mayo is signed on the front side. Joseph Mayo was a resident of Warwick and a Minuteman during the start Revolutionary War veteran who was at the Battle of Lexington. He later marched to Ft. Ticonderoga with Ethan Allen, and was in charge of the Fort for a time. He died in 1817. On the back side of this detached endpaper is a handwritten note, "This book belonged originally to the Red. Lemuel Hedge, the 1st pastor in Warwick, Mass." There are extensive reinforcing repairs to that side of the page. The name "M.A. Reed" is signed on one of the repairs. The title page has the name "Leml Hidge's book" at the top right. And the name "Richard Allen Day 1925" on the top left. Inside front cover has large bookplate with the name "Richard Allen Day" on it and image of a church. The book itself has survived, but is fragile. Text block appears to be complete. Pages toned and somewhat wavy. 538 pages plus unpaginated table. Paper is a bit brittle. Margins cut close, but no text missing. Measures 5.75 x 7.5 inches. The author wrote 12 volumes on the Book of Job. Please email with questions or to request photos. From Reformation England to the American wilderness before Independence in the hands of a 20-something Tory preacher, to my shelves - and soon to yours.

Condition: Very Good +. First edition. Listed on the front wrap as Bureau of Education Circular of Information NO. 1, 1892. Original printed wrappers with some minor chipping and paper loss, and with significant loss to crown and foot of spine. Front wrap loose at base but holding. Contemporary handwritten label on spine "Southern Women in Education." Two early ownership stamps to front wrapper and title page read "Western Reserve Historical Society, Cleveland OH" and "Compliments of Vincent A. Taylor, MC." Internally tight and pleasing, with the usual toning found in imprints of this era. While OCLC shows wide digital access to the text, only 3 institutions report the first edition in hardcopy. Rich with charts and statistics, Mayo's account of Southern education focuses in detail on women's role as educators and students in the decades following the Civil War. The report opens with information on "Schools for the Education of Southern White Girls," addressing the previous dearth of school access to girls of the region and articulating the curriculum that has developed following emancipation and in the struggle toward suffrage. Schools were to promote the idea that the new "national constitutional amendment [is] an ideal to be gradually realized" (a tacit justification here for the separation of white girls from their African American peers). For this category of student, the schools were also encouraged to focus on industrial skills and the creation of a new and advanced class of working Southerners, as well as the encouragement of women to take on new domestic responsibilites to support their families because "financial wreck of civil war [was] equivalent to reduction of supeior class to poverty." Notably, girls and women of the region were to be praised for their contributions -- the "heroic efforts of Southern women in rebuilding home life" while men of their generation struck out, often going North, to try to rebuild their fortunes. As the report continues, it also addresses the education of freed peoples as "the most memorable [movement] in modern history--a service of Southern people in giving freedmen the common schools" while acknowledging that the "path of school education is still a 'steep and rugged way' for majority of Southern youth--A full third of Southern children of legal school age are still outside school opportunities." The deeper one reads into the report, the more complex a view one gains of the South's struggles to redefine itself compared to the North in its views on gender, race, class, dialect, educational access, and job accessibility. Many of the systemic issues from before the war remain, as do hints of what would become a Jim Crow South, resistant as well to the idea of women's suffrage except insofar as it supported a more white-dominant electorate. At the same time, signs of progress also abound, and much of the praise and responsibility for it falls upon women and the rising generation of African Americans building lives in a freer nation.
