"1868 - October - Handwritten Physiology Notes - Ellen Gifford - School Teacher"
(921) 1868 - October - Handwritten Physiology Notes - Ellen Gifford - School Teacher- Condition: Very Good One of the most unusual Ephemera Items I have found. This is 8 pages of handwritten school notes (perhaps a Lesson Plan) about the body, bones, etc. The notes are done by numbers with definitions and lists. Example: 2. An artifical human skeleton is the bones of the human body arranged in their natural order & bound together by cords or wires. The pages measure 8" by 10" and are made of thick paper with light blue lines. There are 5 1/2 pages with writing. The notes are extremely interesting, and give an unusual look into what was being taught in the schools right after the Civil War! 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. Interesting Note: In the mid-1800s, Massachusetts state law required physiology and hygiene instruction for all students. I believe that Miss Gifford taught in Massachusetts.
