  • The Boston Police Strike in the Context of American Labor
    Nineteen Nineteen: The Boston Police Strike in the Context of American Labor An Essay Presented by Zachary Moses Schrag to The Committee on Degrees in Social Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for a degree with honors of Bachelor of Arts Harvard College March 1992 Author’s note, 2002 This portion of my website presents "Nineteen Nineteen: The Boston Police Strike in the Context of American Labor." I wrote this essay in the spring of 1992 as my undergraduate honors thesis. I hope that the intervening ten years and my graduate education have helped me produce more sophisticated, better written works of history. But since I posted this thesis on-line several years ago, several websites have linked to the essay as a useful resource on the strike, labor history, and Calvin Coolidge. I therefore intend to keep it on the Web indefinitely. Aside from some minor corrections, this version is identical to the one I submitted, now on file at the Harvard Depository. The suggested citation is, Zachary Moses Schrag, “Nineteen Nineteen: The Boston Police Strike in the Context of American Labor” (A.B. thesis, Harvard University, 1992). Author’s note, March 2012 In the spring of 2011, my website, www.schrag.info, was maliciously hacked, leading me to reorganize that site as historyprofessor.org and zacharyschrag.com. As part of the reorganization, and in honor of the twentieth anniversary of this document’s completion, I have replaced the HTML version of the thesis—created in 1997—with the PDF you are now reading, which I hope is a more convenient format.

The Commissioners of the Massachusetts Nautical School have the honor to submit their report for the year ending November 30, 1925, the thirty-fourth annual report. The Massachusetts Nautical School, created under an act of the General Court of 1891, is now in its thirty-fifth year of active service. Two thousand three hundred and eighty-five sons of citizens of Massachusetts have entered the school, 1,190 have completed the course and received diplomas, and of these about 95 per cent have served at sea in the merchant marine of the United States or are em- ployed in connection with shipping. The ship upon which the school is conducted is loaned by the United States Navy, and maintained in repair by the Navy. The Federal Government con- tributes annually under an act of Congress, the sum of $25,000 towards the main- tenance of the school.

  • Bibliography of American Newspapers, 1690-1820
    128 American Antiquarian Society. [April, BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN NEWSPAPERS, 1690-1820 PART III ' MARYLAND TO MASSACHUSETTS (BOSTON) COMPILED BY CLARENCE S. BRIGHAM The following bibliography attempts, first, to present a historical sketch of every newspaper printed in the United States from 1690 to 1820; secondly, to locate all files found in the various libraries of the country; and thirdly, to give a complete check list of the issues in the library of the American Antiquarian Society. The historical sketch of each paper gives the title, the date of establishment, the name of the editor or publisher, the fre- quency of issue and the date of discontinuance. It also attempts to give the exact date of issue when a change in title or name of publisher or frequency of publication occurs. In locating the files to be found in various libraries, no at- tempt is made to list every issue. In the case of common news- papers which are to be found in many libraries, only the longer files are noted, with a description of their completeness. Rare newspapers, which are known by only a few scattered issues, are minutely listed. The check list of the issues in the library of the American Antiquarian Society follows the style of the Library of Con- gress "Check List of Eighteenth Century Newspapers," and records all supplements, missing issues and mutilations. The arrangement is alphabetical by states and towns. Towns are placed according to their present State location. For convenience of alphabetization, the initial "The" in the titles of papers is disregarded. Papers are considered to be of folio size, unless otherwise stated.

  • Mary Kellogg: Aesthetic Dance Visionary
    Posted at www.winchester.us/480/Winchester-History-Online Follow the link to read the article in context and learn about the project. MARY KELLOGG: AESTHETIC DANCE VISIONARY By Ellen Knight1 When Winchester’s Mary Kellogg danced, all the Boston papers agreed, she was a vision of exquisite elegance and grace. When Kellogg designed a dance production, her audiences were transported to lands of poetry, myth, and legend. Virtually forgotten today, Kellogg held a remarkable place in American dance history. She not only enlisted Boston and New York society leaders–and those in Winchester as well–as patrons for her dances but also got the younger generations onto the stage, popularizing aesthetic dance as perhaps none of her predecessors had. Kellogg was not the first exponent of modern dance. Before her were Isadora Duncan, Loie Fuller, Ruth St. Denis, and Genevieve Stebbins (with whom she was reportedly most often compared) who espoused fluid, free-form, natural movements and the wearing of flowing Grecian and exotic dance costumes, but they were rarely seen in Boston. Staging her productions locally and working with local talent, Kellogg was unusually admired in Boston. She made headlines for her dances,2 using her art not only to charm audiences but also to support humanitarian causes. And it all began in Winchester, giving the town its own place in American dance history. THE MUSICIAN Mary Kellogg (1881-1952) about 1911 Kellogg was three years old when her family moved to Winchester, taking up residence at 86 Church St. Her banker-broker father, George G. Kellogg, was among the originators of the Winchester Golf Club and the Country Club, and it was as a golfer that Kellogg’s name first appeared in the local newspaper.3 But that soon changed.

  • Westwood Citizen Engagement
    Town of Westwood, MA Citizen Engagement Prepared by: Jorge Pazos Office of Municipal and School Technology Executive Office of Technology Services and Security (EOTSS) Westwood Town Hall 1 Introduction The Town of Westwood, Massachusetts has a population of 14,618 residents 2. Located in Norfolk County, Westwood is situated at the junction of Interstates 95 and 93 and has two commuter rail lines providing its residents with easy access to Boston in a beautiful suburban setting. The Town of Westwood adopted the Citizen Engagement Best Practice in January of 2017, as part of a Community Compact agreement signed with the Baker-Polito Administration. Through the Citizen Engagement Best Practice, the Town strived to better engage and inform the public through an enhanced online presence and two-way communication. This report summarizes the Town’s work towards improving citizen engagement. The Challenge Westwood faced several challenges in its efforts to have meaningful communication with its constituents. One specific challenge is the decline of local print media. The challenges facing print media have been well documented and Westwood was no exception as it experienced a decline in local print media over the last few years. Up until a few years ago local print media for Westwood included a daily and weekly paper, The Daily Transcript and The Westwood Press . The Daily Transcript ceased its print 1 https://www.facebook.com/TownofWestwood/ 2 https://factfinder.census.gov/faces/nav/jsf/pages/community_facts.xhtml publication, moving to a weekly and eventually an online only version 3. Local leadership found that past practices such as posting notices or ads in the local paper were becoming less effective means of communicating with residents.
