American Childhood Through the Years: Colonial Era, 18Th AMERICAN CHILDHOOD THROUGH THE YEARS: COLONIAL ERA, 18TH CENTURY THROUGH EARLY 19TH CENTURY, AND PROGRESSIVE ERA by Barbara E. Moore A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment Of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts in Social Sciences Emphasis: Teaching American History May 2006 AMERICAN CHILDHOOD THROUGH THE YEARS: COLONIAL ERA, 18TH CENTURY THROUGH EARLY 19TH CENTURY, AND PROGRESSIVE ERA by Barbara E. Moore Approved by the Master’s Thesis Committee Delores McBroome, Major Professor Date Gayle Olson-Raymer, Committee Member Date Rodney Sievers, Committee Member Date Delores McBroome, Graduate Coordinator Date Donna E. Schafer, Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT This historiography examines the scholarly literature about American childhood over a period of 300 years. It will focus on three distinct eras in American history: the Colonial Era, the 18th and early 19th centuries, and the Progressive Era. Each era will highlight historians’ viewpoints on the concept of childhood, relationship of children to their community, discipline and childrearing, children’s work and play clothing, health, and education. The historiography also addresses the following questions: How did society view children in each era? Have children in the past been well cared for and have they experienced an easy life? Have they been protected from the pressures and demands of society? Have families been stable and able to provide emotional support? How have the details of children’s daily lives changed over time? Has education been a priority and if not why? The final portion contains a teaching unit that translates the scholarly information from the historiography into teachable lessons for elementary students. The challenge is to make history accessible to young students by presenting tantalizing lessons that are engaging and age appropriate. Teaching children of today about children of the past is the perfect vehicle because it helps them recognize those commonalities between their own lives and lives in the past. It helps them to begin to understand that we all have stories and a place in time. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Page

  • BONNER Walking Tour Prepared for Bonner School by the Bonner Milltown History Center and Museum May, 2020
    BONNER Walking Tour Prepared for Bonner School by the Bonner Milltown History Center and Museum May, 2020 Begin this self-guided history tour on the corner of Hwy 200 and Hwy 210 Hi, Bonner Lumberjacks! Let’s go on a Bonner time travel walk. Before we start, let’s take a minute and look around. How long can you hold your breath? A long time ago (10,000 years) we would be standing on the bottom of Glacial Lake Missoula. It was 1,000 feet deep! How deep is that? The tops of Bonner and Woody mountains were islands. Did you know that our valley has a mountain that is a weather forecaster? Turn and look across the Clark Fork Valley. Crystal Peak had to be free of snow before Bonner girls in the 1940s were allowed to stop wearing the long, brown thick stockings that kept their legs warm under their skirts on their walk to school in winter. And gardeners waited for the snow to disappear from Crystal Peak to plant their gardens or a late freeze might kill all of their plants. What is Crystal Peak telling you today? Is it time to plant your garden? Now, let’s get started on our tour! Do you recognize this picture? It’s hanging in the school library. Walter Hook graduated from Bonner School. Later when he was a famous artist, he painted this mural showing how the timber industry is a part of Bonner School from the trees being cut in the forest, to boards being made at the mill, to the building of the school.

    Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND July 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Lingvocultural Interpretation of the Lexical Units, Referring to the Toys and Games in Great Britain & the USA Aigul Rafailevna Valeeva [email protected] Nadezda Vladimirovna Pospelova [email protected] Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University, (Elabuga Institute), 89, Kazanskaya Street, Elabuga, Tatarstan Republic, 423600 Abstract Today the problems of human-language interaction have become paramount in Linguistics, which has the tendency to consider a human being as the centre of the Universe and the main aim of all the occurring events in the world. This article discusses lexical units on the theme "games and toys", relating to the culture of the UK and the US. The role of culture through the study of the above units is significant and immense in the process of language learning. At the same time language serves as the main tool with the help of which we study the culture, it is its constituent part. In this respect, culture and language are interdependent and there is. There is an attempt of classification of lexical units for the studied subject. For about 200 lexical units on the theme "games and toys" were found in the English language within the framework of this research. We attempted to analyze the culture of the US and of the UK on the basis of these lexical units for the successful formation of knowledge of the language. Keywords: language; culture; linguistic culture; lexical unit; realia; quasi-realia; game; toy; classification; semantic feature; analysis. http://www.ijhcs.com/index.php/ijhcs/index Page 534 Special Issue INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF HUMANITIES AND July 2016 CULTURAL STUDIES ISSN 2356-5926 Introduction The article is devoted to the study of the lexical units related to the games and toys of Great Britain and the United States.

    Marian Petersen 9/21/04, T1, S1 BL: Hello. MP: Hello. BL: I would like for you to tell me your full name, please. MP: I am Marian Nancy __ Petersen. BL: And what‟s your date of birth? MP: December 11th, 1918. BL: And that makes you how old? MP: Eighty-five. Approaching eight-six. BL: Can you tell me about your parents coming to Union County? MP: Yeah. I could give you a slight description, I guess. My father was from F__, Scotland. He was coming out to the States bringing another lady, woman, to marry a friend of his that was residing in Dayville area. That was his ticket in coming. He ended up in Dayville and was working for Jim Kamp and there were Scotch people around in John Day __ used to be many, anyway. I don‟t know if there is now. My mother lived in John Day. My grandmother on my mother‟s side had remarried and had moved down below John Day about half way between John Day and Mount Vernon. There was a Scotch family that lived just a short distance from there that my father became acquainted with and had helped them out quite a bit with hunting and etcetra. My mother was working there as a cook after she was out of high school…not high school, pardon me, out of grade school because they only went to the eighth grade then. In the eighth grade she didn‟t have the opportunity to go off to high school so she was working and that was where he met her.
