Copyright © 2019 The Trustees of Reservations ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION PROVENANCE Transcendental manuscript materials were first acquired by Clara Endicott Sears beginning in 1918 for her Fruitlands Museum in Harvard, Massachusetts. Sears became interested the Transcendentalists after acquiring land in Harvard and restoring the Fruitlands Farmhouse. Materials continued to be collected by the museum throughout the 20th century. In 2016, Fruitlands Museum became The Trustees’ 116th reservation, and these manuscript materials were relocated to the Archives & Research Center in Sharon, Massachusetts. In Harvard, the Fruitlands Museum site continues to display the objects that Sears collected. The museum features four separate collections of significant Shaker, Native American, Transcendentalist, and American art and artifacts. The property features a late 18th century farmhouse that was once home to the writer Louisa May Alcott and her family. Today it is a National Historic Landmark. These papers were acquired by a combination of purchases and donations up through the 1980s.

READY Assistant Specialist in Rec,·eatlonaZ A.ctwities,'• Office of Ed1tcation During the past two years various pamphlets and catalogues of .:olleges and universities have been received in the Office of Education, United States Department of the Interior, showing that some insti tutions of higher education are endeavoring to provide and maintain f-acilities for out-of-door study for students. From the material which has been received it is evident that important practical and experimental work is carried on in institutions in various parts of rmr country, not only as a part of the required worl~ of certain curricula leading to a bachelor of arts or science degree, but as a '>pecial opportunity for research study for graduate students and Feachers. In general, it is the opinion of the directors of this work that many courses of study usually taught by lecture and laborator;t method in school buildings can be more thoroughly and scientifically ~aught in a specially selected environment out of doors. This pam ~hlet presents a ·brief outline of some of the out-of-door work which ~~ being carried on at this time by a few institutions with the hope that other institutions will be stimulated to provide similar opportunities. -

The central organization of the study is the American' Institute of " Instruction, founded-in830. and surviving until 108. This organization provided a medium for discussion and examination of significant educational Axperimentsin 'the 19th centry. The author explores the educational institut4ons which sent members to the Institdte, discusses the many teachers and professors. associated. with it, and examines its roles and functions. Other topics discussed include the emergence of the teacher as professional, teacher education, national, and local school associations°, and the school 'superintbndellit rol. These increasingly specialized areas of education made the Institute largely ineffective in the early 20th . century.

Education, Art and Nature in William T. Harris and Manuel B. Cossío
Historia y Memoria de la Educación 5 (2017): 15-71 Sociedad Española de Historia de la Educación ISSN: 2444-0043 DOI: 10.5944/hme.5.2017.16835 EDUCATION, ART AND NATURE IN WILLIAM T. HARRIS AND MANUEL B. COSSÍO Educación, arte y naturaleza en William T. Harris y Manuel B. Cossío Eugenio Otero Urtaza* Received: 11/07/2016 • Final version received: 23/10/2016 Abstract. William Torrey Harris (1835-1909) was an educator of great importance in the United States and can be seen as the link between the thought of Horace Mann and John Dewey. Harris met Giner and Cossío in Paris in 1889 and from that point on maintained a stable relationship with the Institución Libre de Enseñanza (Free Institution of Teaching, ILE). This allowed for an exchange of information and increased the knowledge in Spain of the pedagogical ideas that were being developed in his country. This paper looks at the first contacts between American pedagogy and the ILE, before walking us through Harris’ biography until he was appointed commissioner of education in the United States. We focus on his initial contact with transcendentalism and its subsequent connection with the thought of Hegel and on his wish to integrate all of these concepts into the idea of kindergarten as a fundamentally public space of coexistence for people of all groups and social classes. The core of the study offers a review of some similarities and differences between the thought of Harris and Cossío in connection with the educational potential of art and nature, especially regarding schools and technical training, concluding that both are part of a transnational trend in pedagogical thinking that goes beyond national frameworks. -

Ignas Skrupskelis Annotated Bibliography
Annotated Bibliography of the Published Works of Josiah Royce The present bibliography is primarily a listing of what Royce himself published. Although I have tried to provide a complete list, it is probable that much has escaped unnoticed, particularly news paper pieces, which could have been published with hardly a trace, and which would be recoverable only by a stroke of luck. Secondarily, the bibliography lists items, including letters, pub lished or reprinted after Royce's death. No systematic effort to locate these has been made, however, and only those that I chanced to come upon are included. Reprintings in textbooks and anthol ogies have been completely ignored. Where the same item appears in several places, observed differ ences have been noted, but the several texts have not been com pared systematically. Some of the information provided about the writings is, most likely, trivial. The inclusion of trivia, however, seems unavoidable, because it is difficult to anticipate what will prove useful in the future. A compilation of this sort is especially dependent upon the help of others. Librarians and archivists, too numerous to mention, have answered inquiries and provided access to their materials. Several student assistants and my wife have spent dull hours turning the pages of crumbling magazines. Father Frank M. Oppenheim and Professor John Clendenning, both Roycean scholars, have been especially helpful. Professor James Willard Oliver of the Univer sity of South Carolina often provided encouragement, while the committee on research of the University of South Carolina pro vided financial assistance. I hope that this common effort has ad- 1167 This content downloaded from 141.161.91.14 on Thu, 13 Sep 2018 03:41:12 UTC All use subject to https://about.jstor.org/terms 1168 ANNOTATED BIBLIOGRAPHY vanced the study of Royce and that it will serve as a basis for further work. -

MarT^o SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION PRESS City of Washington 1976 Abstract Marzio, Peter C. The Art Crusade: An Analysis of American Drawing Manuals, 1820-1860. Smithsonian Studies in History and Technology, number 34, 94 pages, 47 figures, 1976.—Between 1820 and 1860 approximately 145 popular drawing manuals were published in the United States. Authored by painters, printers, and educators the drawing books were aimed at the general public. Based on the democratic ideal that "anyone who can learn to write can learn to draw," the manuals followed a highly structured system of drawing based on the theory that lines were the essence of form. The aesthetic system of Sir Joshua Reynolds often served as the principal artistic guideline, while the pedagogy of Johann Heinrich Pestalozzi was used as a tool for making "drawing" part of a general approach to education. Although the American drawing books are often seen as part of the general social effort to democratize art, their appeal went beyond art students to engineers, scientists, and illustrators. Drawing was considered a general skill, such as writing, which could be applied to numerous aspects of life.
