Children play in a pretend grocery store, Josephine Newbury Demonstration Kindergarten, Richmond, Va.
Four children are shown playing in a pretend grocery store. One boy uses a play phone and writes a message; a girl retrieves items from the shelves; another girl pretends to check out while a boy uses a toy cash register to ring up the sale. <br /><br />The Newbury Center was fully accredited by the Virginia State Department of Education as a kindergarten and as a training venue for teacher certification. Summer training workshops were attended by students from 13 Virginia universities. Education majors from VCU and VUU could do their student teaching there. Nurses in training in pediatrics at Richmond Memorial, MCV and Johnston-Willis hospitals came to fulfill their requirements in education and socialization of the young child. <br /><br />The building included a mirrored glass panel running the full length of one wall in the main classroom, behind which up to 20 visitors could observe the children and their teachers. The observation room was soundproofed and air-conditioned. A microphone and speaker system made it possible to listen to the activities in the classroom. This facility was considered very advanced for its time; it was modeled after the teacher training lab at the University of Maryland. <br /><br />Before the Newbury Center opened in 1957, there was no education available in a school setting in Richmond or the surrounding counties for children younger than five. <br /><br />The photographs in this series present an idealized image of childhood experience, social expectations, and gender roles, as well as the educational philosophy and methods of the time.

Chores of Modern Health Crusaders
Poster depicting the eleven Chores of Modern Health Crusaders. These eleven health chores set out the essentials of tuberculosis prevention and general hygiene. They were part of a public health campaign devised by Charles De Forest of the National Tuberculosis Association.<br /><br />The chores include:<br /><br />1. I washed my hands before each meal to-day.<br />2. I washed ot only my face but my ears and neck and I cleaned my fingernails to-day.<br />3. I kept fingers, pencils and everything likely to be unclean or injurious out of my mouth and nose to-today.<br />4. I brushed my teeth thoroughly after breakfast, and after the evening mean to-day.<br />5. I took ten or more slow deep breaths of fresh air today. I was careful to protect others if I spit, coughed or sneezed.<br />6. I played outdoors or with windows open more than thirty minutes to-day.<br />7. I was in bed ten hours or more last night and kept my windows open.<br />8. I drank four glasses of water, including a drink before each meal, and drank no tea, coffee, nor other injurious drinks to-day.<br />9. I tried to eat only wholesome food and to eat slowly. I went to toilet at my regular times.<br />10. I tried hard to-day to sit up and stand up straight; to keep neat, cheerful and clean-minded; and to be helpful to others.<br />11. I took a full bath on each of the days of the week that are checked (x).

Church Women Explore Interracial Paths, Federal Council Bulletin, September-October, 1926
Pages 7-8 (front and back) removed from <em>Federal Council Bulletin</em>, September-October, 1926. The article, "Church Women Explore Interracial Paths," details an interracial conference held on September 21-22, 1926 at Eagles Mere, Pa.<br /><br />The conference was organized by the Commission on the Church and Race Relations of the Federal Council of Churchs, the Council of Women for Home Missions, and the National Board of the Y.W.C.A. It was attended by delegates from numerous denominations and organizations. Adele Clark of Richmond, Va. attended representing the National League of Women Voters. <br /><br />The object of the conference, according to the chair Mrs. Richard W. Westbrook (Mary L. Westbrook), was<br /><br />"(1) To enlarge the scope of interracial thinking and to enlist the women of the churches more actively in plans and programs for improving the relations between the white and colored groups in America; <br />(2) To discuss methods of better interracial organization through churches and their auxiliaries so that women may more effectively act on local interracial conditions; <br />(3) To exchange concrete experiences from groups of women that have already attempted to carry out interracial programs;<br />(4) To study the past experience of organizations that have done such work, to learn both from the sucesses and failures of such efforts how best to proceed in the future;<br />(5) To understand better the present trend of feeling and opinion in race relations that the Churches may more effectively work for interracial goodwill and cooperation."<br /> <br /><br /><br /><a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Interracial+Conference+of+Church+Women" target="_blank" title="Documents related to the Interracial Conference of Church Women" rel="noreferrer noopener">See all documents</a> related to the conference.

Multi-paged booklet outlining the call, the objectives, and the supporters of the Citizenship Conference held at the Raleigh Hotel, Washington, D.C., October 13- 15, 1923.<br /><br />The conference was called "in recognition of the widespread propaganda for the nullification of the EIGHTEENTH AMENDMENT to the Constitution and the VOLSTEAD ACT, thereby tending to weaken and break down the observance of all law....The Conference will emphasize the necessity for the same conscientious zeal for the enforcement as was manifest for the enactment of the law."

Citizenship Education at the University
This article, "CITIZENSHIP EDUCATION AT THE UNIVERSITY," appeared in the <em>University of Virginia News Letter,</em> Vol. III, No. 4 on October 23,1920. It describes the new department of Citizenship Education under the Bureau of Extension of the University of Virginia, the first of its kind in the United States. This article also discusses the two-day Schools sponsored in Roanoke and Leesburg, and a related program in Richmond.<br /><br />The department of Citizenship Education was the first of its kind in the United States, and was active in educating newly enfranchised women on the processes and responsibilities of Citizenship.<br /><br />"Every school of learning,...if it is functioning properly, has for its fundamental aim, training for Citizenship...[Herbert]Spencer defined education as a preparation for complete living or a preparation for Citizenship, and defined a good citizen as one who know how to live."

City Home, Richmond, VA
City Home, an almshouse located at 210 Hospital Street, Richmond, VA. Shown here circa 1960.<br /><br />Richmond’s Committee for the Relief of the Poor managed white and black almshouses, a soup kitchen, a hospital and other health and social services. Construction of a new white almshouse on Hospital Street finished in 1860. During the Civil War, the building served as a Confederate hospital. Afterwards, it was briefly a home for the Virginia Military Institute and then resumed its original purpose. <br /><br />By the early 20th century, this almshouse was called the City Home. In 1959, the City Home became the Richmond Nursing Home, which operated until 1972. Today, the complex has been repurposed as low income apartments for seniors.

Classroom Desegregation Will Never Work [broadside]
This broadside asserts “there is a basic, inherent mental difference between the races,” citing IQ tests and a booklet by Henry E. Garrett, <em>How Classroom Desegregation Will Work</em> (1966). <br /><br /><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Garrett_(psychologist)" target="_blank" title="biographical information on Wikipedia" rel="noreferrer noopener">Henry Garrett</a> was at the forefront of a resurgence of racial pseudoscience in the mid-twentieth century. He argued for segregation in <em>Davis v. County School Board</em> (one of the cases in Brown v. Board), compiled a pamphlet of his essays for the white supremacist <a href="http://www.citizenscouncils.com/" target="_blank" title="About Citizens' Council" rel="noreferrer noopener">Citizens’ Council</a>, and his views were used to forward the work of other eugenicists. <br /><br />Excerpts:<br /><br />That is why Classroom Desegregation will <em>never</em> work: There is a basic, inherent mental difference between the races. If you mix the classrooms and gear the standards to Negroes, you deny White children their optimum chance. If you gear the standards to White mentality, you develop frustrations on the part of Negroes, with subsequent antagonisms, drop-outs, and "delinquencies...."<br /><br />Race differences, as an issue, is the overriding problem of our time. These differences are something too few of us know about. Now is the time to learn, before it is too late. If you <em>know</em> what you are talking about, you can help defeat Black Power. Only the truth will keep us free.

Code of Wartime Practices for American Broadcasters
This pamphlet is a revision of the first Code of Wartime Practices for American Broadcasters issues five months previously. It contains guidelines for voluntary censorship related to "News" and "Programs." Because of the international character of radio broadcast, certain types of information was to be kept off air, including weather; troop locations, strength and movements; damage by enemy attacks; naval or air force information; fortifications; rumors or unconfirmed reports; diplomatic information; and information regarding the new location of art objects or national archives. <br /><br />Telephone calls were not to be aired as they could not be vetted; likewise prohibited were quiz shows and other programs where the enemy might usurp the microphone or an audience member might inadvertantly share information that could aid the enemy. <br /><br />Pamphlet is signed "The Office of Censorship, Byron Price. Director. June 15, 1942"<br /><br />Excerpts: <br />p.2 "...it is the responsibility of every American to help prevent the dissemination of information which will be of value to the enemy and inimical to the war effort.... <br /><br />To combat these dangers effectively, broadcast management must be in complete control of all programming every minute of every day of operation. That accomplished, the broadcasting industry will have fulfilled an important wartime obligation." <br /><br />p. 8 "Radio is requested to avoid dramatic programs which attempt to portray the horrors of war, and sound effects which might be mistaken for air raid alarms, or for any other defense alarms."<br /><br />"Broadcasters should ask themselves, 'Is this information of value to the enemy?' If the answer is 'Yes,' they should not use it."

Committee on Relief of the Poor, Richmond VA, 1902
Richmond’s Committee for the Relief of the Poor managed white and black almshouses, a soup kitchen, a hospital and other health and social services. Construction of a new white almshouse on Hospital Street finished in 1860. During the Civil War, the building served as a Confederate hospital. Afterwards, it was briefly a home for the Virginia Military Institute and then resumed its original purpose. <br /><br />By the early 20th century, this almshouse was called the City Home. In 1959, the City Home became the Richmond Nursing Home, which operated until 1972. Today, the complex has been repurposed as low income apartments for seniors.

Constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act of 1965; a response to the Attorney General of the United States...
This booklet was distributed by the Virginia Commission on Constitutional Government (VCCG) in opposition to the Voting Rights Act of 1965. The Commission began in 1958 and existed until the late 1960s. <br /><br />Led by David J. Mays, a prominent lawyer and advisor to Virginia’s commission on the response to the <em>Brown v. Board of Education</em> decision, it advocated nationally for states’ rights and conservatism, and eventually distributed over 2 million published pamphlets, brochures and speeches. <em>The Constitutionality of the Voting Rights Act of 1965</em> argues against the Voting Rights Act. Robert Y. Button (Virginia’s Attorney General at the time) made a typical VCCG argument in stating that the Act “attempted to erode the basic concepts of constitutional government in which the individual States are acknowledged to be sovereign” and is “patently unconstitutional.” <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />pp. 8-9 "the Supreme Court of the United States has repeatedly declared that a State is free to conduct its elections and limit its electorate as it may deem wise, except as its actions may be affected by the prohibitions of the Federal Constitution, and that the power of Congress to legistlate at all the subject of racial discrimination in voting rests upon the Fifteenth Amendment and extends only to the prevention by appropriate legistlation of the discriminatiion forbidden by that Amendment..."<br /><br />p. 14 "I do believe, however, -- as Mr. Justice Harlan made clear...that the Framers of the Constitution:<br /><br />'staked their faith that liberty would proper in the new Nation not primarily upon declarations of individual rights <em>but upon the kind of government the Union was to have. </em>And they determined that in <em>a government of divided powers</em> lay the best promise for realizing the free society it was their object to achieve.' (Italics supplied [by Button]. <br /><br />One aspect of this governmental edifice which the Framers sought to erect, and which H. R. 6400 would manifestly subvert, was the distribution of power between the Nation and the States, each supreme within its sphere, thus forming an indestructible Union of indestructible States." <br /><br /><a href="https://images.socialwelfare.library.vcu.edu/items/browse?tags=Virginia+Commission+on+Constitutional+Government" target="_blank" rel="noopener" title="Other publications by the VCCG">Other VCCG publications</a> in the Image Portal

Countdown on Excellence
Public service comic published as a part of the National Social Welfare Assembly Comics Project. The Comics Project lasted from August 1949 - July 1967 and produced over 200 pages promoting citizenship and social values. <br /><br />Publisher's Note: "Published as a public service in cooperation with The National Social Welfare Assembly, coordinating organization for national health, welfare and recreation agencies of the U.S."<br /><br />A father talks to his son Jerry about his failure to do a good job cleaning up the garage. Jerry says, "Aw, Dad, What's the difference? It's not very important." His father replies, "Hmm...With that kind of attitude, you'll get into sloppy work havits. If everyone felt that way about his job, what do you think would happen?" <br /><br />The father goes on to give examples of people we count on to do their jobs: a plumber, switchboard operator, garage mechanic, and finally "a man who works on a space capsule." Jerry concludes, "I get it Dad...Every job, whether it's big or small, is important enough to do right!"

Music stereoptican picutres and speeches in foreign languages should be among the attractions. Learn the art of making these patriotic meetings so attractive that the crowds will have to be shut out instead of coaxed in."</p>

Dennis the Menace Takes a Poke at Poison
This giveaway comic book seeks to educate children and their parents about the poisonous nature of many items commonly found in the home. It urges parents to "Poison Proof Your Home."<br /><br />A publication created by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Public Health Service, Food and Drug Administration.<br />HHS Publication No. (FDA) 81-7005. <br /><br />Text on back cover:<br /><br />"Most products are made to look attractive so people will buy them--even products that can be poisonous. But things made attractive for consumers are also attractive to children. Many poisonings that occur involve children who are too youg and innocent to 'know better.' Children often can't recognize danger signals such as label warnings, strange odors, or peculiar tastes. Actually many poisonous things are attractive to children because the taste or smell GOOD, such as lemon scented furniture polish."
