"1868 - Handwritten Rough Draft of an Essay called The Teacher Makes The School - Ellen Gifford - School Teacher"
(922) 1868 - Handwritten Rough Draft of an Essay called The Teacher Makes The School - Ellen Gifford - School Teacher- Condition: Very Good One of the most unusual Ephemera Items I have found. This is 4 pages of a handwritten essay about the importance of a School Teacher to the school. There are editorial corrections to the essay throughout the 4 pages. The pages measure 8" by 10" and are made of thick paper with light blue lines. What a great insight into how a Teacher right after the Civil War felt about the importance of Teaching. The paper has been folded. There are no tears and it is in remarkable condition for paper from that era. From the personal notes found with this Physiology Paper, I know that Ellen Gifford was a school teacher. For an interesting synopsis of the general attitude toward teaching in the late 1800's visit: Bitter Milk
