Beschreibung

1942 first education Shorewood High School (Shorewood, Wisconsin), 5 3/8 x 6 7/8 inches tall green buckram cloth hardbound, no dust jacket (as issued), gilt lettering to front cover and spine, green endpapers, unpaginated, but contains fifty 2-3 page original (printed in blue ink) printed leaflets, with a title page and table of contents printed in 'mimeograph purple' on school paper of the era. Minor rubbing and edgewear to covers. Each of the 50 leaflets hand numbered on the upper margin in black ink. Otherwise, a very good copy - clean and unmarked - of this rare, if not unique, record of a Wisconsin principal's communication with his high school's parents from 1930 to 1942. ~SP23~ These two- or three-page messages were sent to parents by the principal of a Milwaukee, Wisconsin-area high school - together with their children's grade cards, between 1930 - 1942, giving a 'freeze frame' of adolescent educational standards and cultural mores during this period of time, in the middle of America. Includes 50 different leaflet messages, divided into six subject areas: 1. Parental Help Toward Self-Direction (e.g., Resolving Potential Conflict, Comparisons Are to be Avoided, Problem of the Neighbor's Children) ; 2. Building Conduct Attitudes (Promises, Social Responsibility: Who Is Soft?; Obedience; Property Rights); 3. Problems Youth Feels (Financial Problems, The Need of Balance, Boy-Girl Relationship, Selecting Movies); 4. The School Program (The Challenge of Social Problems; After Report Cards, What?; Marks Mean Much; Home Work); 5. Predicting College Success from High School Work (College Record of the Class of 1936, Should My Child Go to College?); 6. Vacation (Should My Child Attend Summer School; Continued Growth Through Vacation).
