    5600HE-GSM-gau (USMARC); GSG (OCLC/SOLINET) City of Savannah, Research Library & Municipal Archives, Savannah, Georgia Record Series #: 5600HE Name: City of Savannah, Georgia Records – Health Department Dates: 1803-1948 Extent/Size: 33 volumes (9.39 cubic feet) Organizational History: From 1790 until 1823, the Health Officer of Savannah was appointed by the Governor. Afterwards, he was selected by the City Council (Gamble, pp. 47, 146). The Health Officer’s duties included visiting vessels arriving in port, imposing quarantine, attending the sick on board, and investigating and preventing the spread of contagious diseases (Code of Savannah 1854, pp. 251-253). In 1877, the Health Officer became head of the newly organized Board of Sanitary Commissioners which was to supervise the administration of City health laws, to investigate and prevent the spread of disease, to examine and eliminate health nuisances, to supervise the sanitary regulations of municipal institutions, and to supervise matters relating to quarantine. The Health Officer, under direction of this board, became the general supervisor of the sanitary interests of the City, making inspections, inquiries, and reports (Code of Savannah 1888, pp. 185-87). By 1923, the Savannah Health Department consisted of the Board of Sanitary Commissioners, the Health Officer, the City Laboratory and Bacteriologist, the City Physician, the hospitals, the City Dispensary, the Inspector of Plumbing, and the City Food Inspector (Mayor's Annual Report 1923. pp. 393-459). The Savannah Health Center was formed in 1920, and by 1925 there was an agreement for the Savannah Health Center, the Health Department, and the County Commission to amalgamate their programs.

  • Buffalo 1901 the Assassination of President William Mckinley Shortly
    Buffalo 1901 The Assassination of President William McKinley Shortly after 4 PM on the afternoon of 6 September 1901, President William McKinley stood on the stage of the Temple of Music to greet the last group of well wishers who had waited in line to shake his hand at a public reception. McKinley reached out to a 28 year old man who was holding a handkerchief in his hand, not unusual since the day was rather hot and humid. But Leon Czolgosz had a 32 caliber revolver concealed under his handkerchief. Two shots rang out, the first nicked a button on the President’s vest and glanced off his chest, the second penetrated his stomach. Pandemonium ensued. One of the guards named O’Brien, and James Parker, a tall black man waiting in the line just behind Czolgosz, immediately grabbed the assassin and began punching him in the face. Czolgosz fell to the floor and other guards joined in. Czolgosz, in the words of an eye witness, was a “bloody mess”. Another guard grabbed the revolver out of Czolgosz’s right hand. The beating would have continued, had McKinley not said "Go easy on him boys" or "Don't let them hurt him". Whatever the exact words, they saved Czolgosz's life, at least temporarily. The guards stopped their assault and the President's health was given priority. The officials on the stage with McKinley eased him onto the floor. Word quickly spread of the shooting, and mob mentality took over, with crowds outside beating on the door and shouting death threats for the shooter.

  • Consuming Culture
    Ryan 1 Consuming Culture: How fairgoers gained cultural awareness and understanding through food at the Pan American Exhibition (1901) and the Louisiana Purchase Exposition (1904) Jade Ryan April 30, 2012 Dr. Mary Ellen Curtin, History Department University Honors in History Spring 2012 Ryan 2 Abstract The world fairs in America at the beginning of the 20th century were some of the most elaborate exhibitions to have ever existed. With the precedent set at the Chicago Columbian Exchange Exposition in 1893, people came from around the world to see what these expos had to offer, from technological innovations never before imagined to architectural wonders. But underneath the flashy displays and government sanctioned buildings lay a network of people constantly participating in the consumption of cultures from around the world, most commonly through food. The Pan American Exposition (1901) and the Louisiana Purchase Exhibition (1904) fairgrounds provided a safe space where people of different ethnicity and class could experience other cultures in a non-threatening way, from eating something new to watching how other people interact with food. Through food experiences, people were able to internalize little pieces of other cultures, making them their own and increase their desire to experience to learn about other peoples of the world long after the fair was over. Evidence to support these claims includes personal accounts, magazine and newspaper articles, cookbooks, menus, photos, maps, and other souvenirs. Introduction The sun begins to rise on a cool morning in the middle of September in Buffalo, New York. Thousands of people have traveled from as little as a few miles to as many as a few thousand to take part in one of the greatest events to occur in the year 1901: The Pan-American Exhibition.

  • The January 1901 Special National Convention of the Social Democratic Party of America by A.S
    The January 1901 Special National Convention of the Social Democratic Party of America by A.S. Edwards 1 (January 26, 1901) The special national convention of the Social Democratic Party of America, which opened in Aldine Hall, Chicago, at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning, January 15 [1901], was attended by a larger number of individual delegates than the convention at Indianapolis last March [1st: March 6-9, 1900]. The principal object of the former gathering was the nomination of Presidential candidates; that of the present one to dispose of the question of the consolidation of the socialists of the United States.2 For nearly a year, during which the campaign prosecuted a national campaign and found its resources taxed to the utmost in discharging its duty to the cause of socialism, it has found itself harassed by persistent misrepresentations of the attitude of its members toward the question of union with the Rochester faction of the Socialist Labor Party and a few bolters from its own ranks. The officers and members of the party have never been opposed to union os socialists; they have stood almost solidly against the surrender of the Social Democratic Party organization to the control of those who, by methods now familiar to and condemned by the socialists of the country generally, sought its destruction. The convention just held was a complete and splendid vindication of the course pursued by those in temporary control of the party’s interests, in local branch and national board, and the inspiriting outcome of the four days’ deliberations, marked by the truest devotion, tolerance, and comradeship,3 is that the Social Democratic Party is on record not merely for union with a faction which has attempted to destroy it, but for a consolidation of all the organized socialists of the country, whether constituted as national parties or in isolated state and territorial organizations.

  • The Evolution of Australian Citizenship*
    One Hundred Years of (Almost) Solitude: the Evolution of Australian Citizenship* Helen Irving On 1 January 1901, six of the Australasian colonies joined together in one ‘indissoluble federal Commonwealth’, as the words of the Preamble to the Australian Constitution put it. Massive celebrations accompanied the inauguration of the Commonwealth. They were repeated for the opening of the First Federal Parliament four months later, and again, around the new nation, for the tour of the Duke and Duchess of York that followed. The celebrations stretched over the first six months of that year. There were parades, banquets, picnics, sporting competitions, exhibitions and historical re- enactments. Streets were decorated, poems were composed, songs were sung, medals were struck, prisoners were pardoned, and fireworks lit again and again. What was being celebrated? Among the many other achievements of that day, Australians who read their newspapers learned on 1 January 1901, that they had become Australian citizens. It was a rather curious claim to make. There had been an attempt in 1898 to write a definition of citizenship into the Australian Constitution, but it had failed. Although the delegates to the Federal Convention laboured long and hard in their effort to say just what it was to be a citizen—traversing legal and political rights, as well as cultural attributes—the Constitution’s framers could not settle on a definition. * This paper was presented as a lecture in the Department of the Senate Occasional Lecture Series at Parliament House on 22 June 2001. Legally, Australians were British subjects, not citizens. To use the term ‘citizen’ meant going beyond this simple fact.

  • Poverty, Disease, Responsibility: Arthur Newsholme and the Public Health Dilemmas of British Liberalism
    Poverty, Disease, Responsibility: Arthur Newsholme and the Public Health Dilemmas of British Liberalism JOHN M. EYLER University o f Minnesota N DELIVERING AN ADDRESS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF Glasgow in November 1900, Lord Rosebery, the heir apparent to the leadership of the Liberal party, linked anxieties about disease,I poverty, race, and national prowess in ways that would have startled his mid-Victorian predecessors: An Empire such as ours requires as its first condition an Imperial Race— a race vigorous and industrious and intrepid. Are we rearing such a race? In the rural districts I trust that we are. But in the great cities, in the rookeries and slums which still survive, an imperial race cannot be reared. You can scarcely produce anything in those foul nests of crime and disease but a progeny doomed from its birth to misery and ignominy. Remember, then, that where you promote health and arrest disease, where you convert an un­ healthy citizen into a healthy one, where you exercise your authority to promote sanitary conditions and suppress those which are the reverse, you in doing your duty are also working for the Empire. Health of mind and body exalt a nation in the competition of the universe. The survival of the fittest is an absolute truth in the conditions of the modern world (Rosebery 1922, 250-51). The nation was, in fact, facing a crisis of confidence. Foreign competition in industry, trade, and agriculture, the growth of German military might, and then the disastrous showing of the British forces The Milbank Quarterly, Vol.

In this system, each ward was given a school, and these schools were simply referred to by their ward number. In the early 1900s, schools were also assigned a name in addition to their number. One such school was the Austin Brown School, which served as the public school for Ward 6. It was located on the southwest corner of Union and Phipps Streets. Neither the school nor the streets are in existence today. Elmer and Blanche McCord Apple both attended Indianapolis Public Schools. Elmer was born in approximately 1898 and graduated in 1917. After graduating, Elmer was employed as a jeweler. He died in 1986. Blanche was born on 7 April 1901. She and Elmer had three children: E.

    JUMPING SHIP: THE DECLINE OF BLACK REPUBLICANISM IN THE ERA OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, 1901—1908 A Thesis Presented to The Graduate Faculty of The University of Akron In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts Mark T. Tomecko August, 2012 JUMPING SHIP: THE DECLINE OF BLACK REPUBLICANISM IN THE ERA OF THEODORE ROOSEVELT, 1901—1908 Mark T. Tomecko Thesis Approved: Accepted: _______________________________ ______________________________ Advisor Dean of the College Dr. Tracey Jean Boisseau Dr. Chand Midha _______________________________ ______________________________ Department Chair Dean of the Graduate School Dr. Martin Wainwright Dr. George Newkome ______________________________ Date ii ABSTRACT Most analysts of black voting patterns in the United States have assumed that the first substantive abandonment of the Republican party by black voters occurred in the 1930s, when the majority of black voters embraced Franklin Roosevelt‘s New Deal. A closer examination, however, of another Roosevelt presidency – that of Theodore Roosevelt (1901-1909) – demonstrates the degree to which black voters were already growing disenchanted with the Republicans in the face of what they viewed as uneven support and contradictory messages from the highest ranking Republican in the land. Though the perception of Theodore Roosevelt‘s relationship to black Americans has been dominated by his historic invitation of Booker T. Washington to dine with him at the White House in 1901, in fact even this event had assorted and complex meanings for Roosevelt‘s relationship to the black community. More importantly, his dismissal of black troops following a controversial shooting in southern Texas in 1906 – an event known as the Brownsville affair – set off a firestorm of bitter protest from the black press, black intellectuals, and black voters.
