ABSTRACT In the mid-nineteenth century a compulsory education system was emerging that allowed all children to attend public schools in northern states. This dissertation investigates school attendance rates among African American children in New York State from 1850–1870 by examining household patterns and educational access for African American school-age children in three communities: Sandy Ground, Syracuse, and Watertown. These communities were selected because of their involvement in the Underground Railroad. I employed a combination of educational and social history methods, qualitative and quantitative. An analysis of federal census reports, state superintendent reports, city directories, area maps, and property records for the years 1820–1870 yielded comparative data on households, African American and European American, in which African American school-age children resided. The nature of schooling and the manner in which the household and community advocated for school attendance during this period are also described and compared. -

34. Old Alresford Place
OLD ALRESFORD PLACE , OLD ALRESFORD By Vincent Pemberton On the corner of the lane leading up to the village of Bighton and opposite the parish church of Old Alresford, is a large country house, standing in its own grounds and surrounded by well- established beech trees, lawns and flower beds. Whilst it gives the impression of being a private residence, it is in fact the Winchester Diocesan Retreat and Conference house, and was for over three centuries, the Rectory. When first built it was much smaller, but in the early part of the seventeenth century was enlarged. It's history up to the present day, is very interesting, in fact, I would venture the opinion that the village of Old A1resford is much the richer by having this old house in its midst. Further additions were made in later years and. I will comment on these in due course, but meantime would like to give you some information regarding the Rectors who were resident during the period covering the seventeenth to the early part of the twentieth centuries. No details seem to be available as to when the Rectory was built or even whether it was reconstructed from an older building, but we do know that it was in situ in the year 1620 when Dr. Hamlet Marshall was Rector. Dr. Marshall left the parish in 1633 when he exchanged Livings with Dr. Peter Heylyn, a man of letters, and Chaplain to King Charles the first. This exchange was by command of the King who required the presence of his Chaplain when the Court came to Winchester. -

A Test of Adversity and Strength: Wildland Fire in the National Park System
National Park Service U.S. Department of the Interior Wildland Fire Program A Test of Adversity and Strength Wildland Fire in the National Park System By Hal K. Rothman NPS/J HENRY A Test of Adversity and Strength: Wildland Fire in the National Park System By Hal K. Rothman, Principal Investigator National Park Service Cooperative Agreement Order #CA 8034-2-9003 Special Consultant: Stephen J. Pyne Research Associates: Lincoln Bramwell, Brenna Lissoway, and Lesley Argo Project Managers David Sproul, Michael Childers, and Daniel Holder i Fire is the test of gold; adversity, of strong men. Seneca, Epistles ii Executive Summary The National Park Service’s mission, unique among federal agencies, has made its history of fire policy diverge from that of its peers. Federal fire protection began in the national parks in 1886, when the U.S. Army assumed administration of Yellowstone National Park. After the trauma of the 1910 fire season and creation of a civilian National Park Service in 1916, the new Service embraced the U.S. Forest Service’s policy of aggressive fire suppression. For almost fifty years, suppression was policy, a reality that only began to change in the 1950s. The Leopold Report, published in 1963, further articulated differences in the National Park Service’s mission with its call for parks to be managed as “vignettes of primitive America.” Following passage of the Wilderness Act in 1964, federal agencies – including the NPS – were compelled to reassess their management plans in the context of the new law. Steadily, each federal agency found its mission redefined and its goals recast; this translated into a more diverse spectrum of fire practices, at once splintering the former unity of purpose that surrounded suppression while demanding new ideas and devices to reintegrate those fragmented parts. -

In Cornwall upwards of 85, and in Somerset 79 Marriage Registers have been printed, while in the Dorset series, much more recently commenced, 36 Registers have already been rendered available by publication, and it is hoped that not less rapid progress will be effected in Devonshire. 13791 G4 The contents of the present Volume show how needful it is that steps should be taken to print our Parish Registers and place them beyond risk of destruction. Of the seven parishes included, only that of Uffculme possesses a Register going back to the earliest period of 1538 ; five do not com- mence until the seventeenth century and one not till 1752. -

This tenth volume of Somerset Marriage Registers in- cludes the remaining portion of the Registers of the important parish of St. Mary's, Taunton, down to the year 1812. Of this Mr. Bates undertook the transcription. For Bishop's Hull, and, in part, for Halse, Mr. Seager has been responsible. It is intended that Volume XI shall be devoted to various country Parish Registers. The Marriage Registers of St. James, Taunton, have already been transcribed, and will be printed in a later volume. 4 O^QO/f C The usual contractions have been made use of w.=widower or widow. p.=of the parish ot. s.=spinster, single woman, co.=in the county of. or son of. dioc.=in the diocese of. b.=bachelor, or single man. /?V.=marriage licence. d.=daughter of. The reader must remember that the printed volumes are not "evidence" in the legal sense. Certificates must be obtained from the local clergy in charge of the Registers. It is the Editors' wish to print two volumes annually, and thus to make a steady and substantial progress in the work of preserving our ancient Parish Registers from the risks of destruction or loss to which they are constantly exposed, even in the best circumstances, so long as their con- tents remain in manuscript only.
