  • 1 Chapter One Introduction to the Study in the Spring
    Chapter One Introduction to the Study In the spring of 1989, a 9-year-old boy was gunned down in the streets of a major city in The United States. The horror of this homicide was that both the victim and the assailant were children. During the 1980s this city, like most other large urban cities, was besieged by a growing number of violent acts: assaults, thefts, rapes, homicides, suicides, hate crimes, extortions, and destructions of property, but the murder of this young child became the catalyst which propelled specific action. In this case, a community educational organization called The Cottage Family and Child Care Center, which is the subject of this study, was created. Curcio and First (1993) write that “we can do more than just cope” in our “efforts to proactively defuse and prevent violence” (p. 50). As an antidote to growing violence in our schools and communities, they support the concept of community involvement and the relatively new notion of full-service schools (p. 35). School-linked services, full-service schools, or school community connections are terms which have been surfacing during the last decade and mean different things to people, depending upon their background and experience. While recognizing the semantic challenge that exists and the diversity of actual program designs represented by these terms, some commonality is beginning to surface in the literature. Adler (1994) identifies a number of common threads that weave through various definitions of school-linked or community-linked services: neighborhood accessibility, collaboration for holistic purposes, prevention rather than crises orientation, new systems, flexibility of funding, staff development, and system-wide changes (p.

DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M. Wolf skill); "Not One to Stay at Home: The Papers of Lou Henry Hoover" (Dale C.

  • Pictures on My Wall a Lifetime in Kansas FLORENCE L
    Pictures On My Wall A Lifetime in Kansas FLORENCE L. SNOW From a Portrait by Helen Hodge Pictures On My Wall A Lifetime in Kansas By FLORENCE L. SNOW UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PRESS LAWRENCE *945 COPYRIGHT, 1945, BY THE UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS PRESS All rights reserved. No part of this book may be repro• duced in any form, except by reviewers of the public press, without written permission from the publishers. TO THE MEMORY OF MY SISTER EMILY SNOW PREFACE Kansas has often been called the perfect flowering of the New England conscience. Sometimes this is meant to be a com• pliment and at others it is plainly an insult. Either way I doubt if it is a fact. What we did get from New England, particularly in the days of ''bleeding Kansas/' was the habit of talking, writing and philosophizing about conscience. This gave the impression that we had a very active and painful conscience, though it was frequently only an excuse for talking about ourselves, like an operation. Even after our convalescence from the Civil War we never stopped talking and. writing, despite the fact that when we wanted to point out the scar we could no longer find it. In this way Kansas became the most articulate state in the Union. Whether New England should receive credit (or blame) for the habit is beside the point; the conscience and the language are pure Kansas. However, this is only one explanation. Another is that only in Kansas and New England is the climate so warm, cold, windy, calm, unpredictable and preposterous that it is always a fresh topic of conversation.

He was known by the name of Juan de Fuca, and the name was subsequently given to a portion of the waters he discovered. As far as known he made no official report of his discoveries, but he told navi­ gators, and from these men has descended to us the knowledge thereof. Richard Hakluyt, in 1600, gave some account of Fuca and his voyages and discoveries. Michael Locke, in 1625, pub­ lished the following statement in England. "I met in Venice in 1596 an old Greek mariner called Juan de Fuca, but whose real name was Apostolus Valerianus, who detailed that in 1592 he sailed in a small caravel from Mexico in the service of Spain along the coast of Mexico and California, until he came to the latitude of 47 degrees, and there finding the land trended north and northeast, and also east and south east, with a broad inlet of seas between 47 and 48 degrees of latitude, he entered therein, sailing more than twenty days, and at the entrance of said strait there is on the northwest coast thereto a great headland or island, with an exceeding high pinacle or spiral rock, like a pillar thereon." Fuca also reported find­ ing various inlets and divers islands; describes the natives as dressed in skins, and as being so hostile that he was glad to get away.

  • Colonel Webb Cook Hayes and the Founding of the Nation's First Presidential Library
    A SON'S DREAM: COLONEL WEBB COOK HAYES AND THE FOUNDING OF THE NATION'S FIRST PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY Meghan Wonderly A Thesis Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS August 2017 Committee: Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor Nicole Jackson © 2017 Meghan Wonderly All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Rebecca Mancuso, Advisor Today presidential libraries are expected from every former president. Presidents begin to plan their libraries before exiting office. It was not always so. Over time, the American public and their government altered their views of presidential documents. For years, presidential documents had been considered personal property, so former presidents did as they wished with them. During his presidency Franklin D. Roosevelt created the National Archives to preserve presidential papers. His presidential library was the first in the federal presidential library system and therefore receives much recognition for being the first presidential library. However, twenty years before Roosevelt’s library existed there was the Hayes Memorial Library and Museum. Now known as the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library & Museums, Roosevelt used it as a model for his presidential library. Therefore, it influenced the federal system of presidential libraries. This project argues the Hayes Memorial Library and Museum exists due to the determination and resourcefulness of its founder Colonel Webb Cook Hayes.
