Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

Tall 8vo. 6.25 x 10.25 in. [4 pp (unpaginated).] ALS written entirely in blue ink cursive manuscript (minor age toning, some slight wear), still VG, from the library of Mrs. Roy S. [Fern Gladys Small] Gage (1893-1960), whose husband was a Lewiston Hardware merchant, and later real estate developer, and both were members of the Congregational Church. Fern Gage was an active organizer and member of both the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom, and the Fellowship of Reconciliation. This uncommon letter reveals the intense public relations campaign nourished and sustained by the Board of Tourist Industries of the Imperial Japanese Railways between Japan and America. It also shows the intense efforts by civic-minded women in the U.S. who were teachers, professors, and students, along with those active in the Women's International League for Peace & Freedom such as Fern Gage. Stevens (1894-1972) explains to Mrs. Gage that she has "always had a keen yearning to go to the Orient." She explains how she inaugurated the International Club at the Girl's Polytechnic, organized International Banquets at Commerce High (Clinton High School); led a group of girls to dine on "Japanese Sukiyaki at the Tokio House on Fourth Ave., a Chinese banquet at Hung Fan Low; a Jewish Kosher meal at B'nai Brith. . . [as well as] a Dixie dinner (prepared by the mothers of one of our Colored members) at the East Side Y.W.C.A. with local Negro leaders and musicians." Furthermore she explains that she believes these events "of dining in the atmosphere of the nationality in question impresses upon the students, as I think you will agree, an idea of tolerance, and aids in understanding more than any amount of merely reading." Stevens would teach at Clinton High School until her retirement, and although unable to sail to Japan in the Fall of 1937, did succeed in a European trip with teachers in 1949 to post-War Europe in 1949.
