Begin at the Beginning
Pamphlet advocating for compulsory kindergarten as a means to Americanization. Written by Philander Priestly Claxton, former United States Commissioner of Education, and David Starr Jordan, Chancellor Emeritus, Leland Stanford Junior University. <br /><br />Excerpt:<br /><br />"THE CHILD IS THE FATHER OF THE MAN <br /><br />The way to 'Americanize' foreigners as well as the native born is to commence at the beginning or as near there as possible. The idea of a kindergarten, like that of any other form of garden, is to give proper culture and to give it early, when it is most needed. The most important duty of any people is to care for its children. In the schools of today the future of the nation is written. And to the kindergarten all higher schools must look for the initiative of their work. All other forms of 'national defense' dwindle into impertinent insignificance when compared with the training of the children."
Claxton, P. P.

McCutcheon. <br /><br />[Image description] Two child laborers operate machinery. Above them is a cloud showing that they are daydreaming about frolicking outside with a dog.

Letter to Kate Waller Barrett from Calvin Coolidge
Letter from President Coolidge to Kate Waller Barrett regarding the Florence Crittenton Mission which managed homes for unwed mothers and prostitutes.<br /><br />Transcription: <br /><br />The White House<br />Washington <br /><br />October 23, 1924.<br /><br />My dear Mrs. Barrett:<br /><br />It is not easy to imagine a single reason why the work of the Florence Crittenton Mission should not have the most unqualified endorsement from every good citizen. I can think of a long list of the most persuasive reasons why that endorsement should be given, and for myself I gladly extend it.<br /><br />I wish you the fullest encouragement and cooperation in the splendid work you are carrying on.<br /><br />Very truly yours, <br /><br />Calvin Coolidge

When They Come Home
<span>This pamphlet is specifically designed to educate the spouses, significant others, and family members of World War I soldiers on the topic of venereal disease. <br /><br />Excerpts: <br /><br />Page 2, paragraph 2 : "When men and girls are changing their occupations and ways of life, when war disciplines are being removed and when spirits are buoyant, the greatest temptations to self indulge amid dangerous pleasures occur. Cities and towns throughout the country face now the most important crisis -- the biggest emergency yet encountered in the fight against veneral disease.<br /><br />WHAT THE WAR HAS TAUGHT US<br /><br />'Our ignorance and failure in handling the problem of veneral diseases constitute the greatest crime of American civilization. This is the clearest lesson of the war'. "<br /><br />Page 4, paragraph 2 : "Now the returning soldiers, who have been given intelligent protection and wholesome recreation, are to be turned back to the civil communities. The federal government must, of nessecity, in the next few months, give up its wartime control. These men are <em>your </em>responsibility now."<br /><br />Page 8, paragraph 3 : "With war's final end, many war buildings, war jobs, and institutions will go to the scrap heap. But every item in the program of veneral disease control is as necessary to successful peace as to successful war. Don't scrap your patriotism and community spirit in this manner. There should be no peace for prostitution, no truce for the 'tenderloin', no armistice with veneral disease. Make your blows knockouts against vice. The soldiers, <em>when they come home </em>from the trenches, will be the first to join you in your fight."</span>

The Case Against the Red Light
Venereal disease bulletin, no. 54. <br />Public health pamphlet arguing that prostitution spreads venereal disease and cannot be "segregated, licensed, and made sanitary." <br /><br />Excerpt: <br /><br />"But every investigating committee that has reported on conditions in any large American city has condemned the whole buisness, although its members were often in favor of segregation when they began to investigate. <br /><br />The American army has tried all systems. General Pershing writes:<br /><br />Many of us who have experimented with licensed prostitution or kindred measures, hoping thereby to minimize the physical evils, have been forced to the conclusion that they are really ineffective, Abraham Flexner has argued the case so convincingly that on the scientific side it seems to me there is no escape from the conclusion that what he terms 'abolition' as distinguished from 'regulation' is the only effective mode combating this age-long evil. <br /><br />Don't be misled by underworld arguments.<br /><br />The <em>Evidence </em>is all against the red light."

Soldier Attention: A Private Word with You
World War I pamphlet warning soldiers of the effect of sexually transmitted diseases. <br /><br />Transcription: <br /><br />"Soldier, you responded when your country called. You have put your strength, your manhood and your hope into this war. You want to be a clean-cut fighting-man. You want ours to be the most efficient army in the world. You want the army to win. <br /><br />You cannot be a clean-cut fighting-man, you cannot do your part in making a great army and you cannot do your best toward winning the war unless you avoid immoral women. For from these women comes disease. From disease come inefficiency. From inefficiency comes disaster.<br /><br />It is unpatriotic to be immoral. A good soldier will not hazard his physical fitness and his moral cleaness by association with bad women. every man who is moral adds to the strength of the army. Every man who is immoral invites the ruin of the army and the death of himself and his comrades-in-arms.<br /><br />Europe had dound this out. Our associates in the great war for democracy-French,British,Belgian, Russian and the rest--have all seen that the disabilityfrom venereal disease has weakened their armies and has been one of the causes that have postponed final victory. If you want to save America from like experience--if you want victory to come quickly and certainly--you can at least do you share toward keeping the army morally clean and morally straight. <br /><br />Sexual intercourse is not necessary to good health. Self control is. Whihc will you exhibit--the spirit of a man, strong and self-contained, or the spirit of your worst self?<br /><br />We ask you to follow honestly and literally the health regulations of the army. <br /><br />We ask you to keep in touch with your home-folks and to remember that you are fighting for the clean things of life--for home, for sweetheart, for sister and for mother.<br /><br />We ask you to engage only in such amusements as will keep your body in good condition, remembering that clean athletics and manly sport will help prepare you to meet the enemy.<br /><br />We ask you to guard your own conduet while on furlough and to help the other fellow keep straight.<br /><br />We ask you to remember what your body means to your country and your flag: Care for it as a precious possession, dedicated to a worthy cause without reproach or strain.<br /><br />We ask you to remember that you represent the honor, the character and the cleanness of America: By your acts your nation will be judged.<br /><br />This little message is written you from a conference held in the office of the Governor of Virginia and it is signed by friends.

If You Are A Minister [suffrage postcard]
Postcard encouraging clergy to use their influence to promote the cause of woman suffrage. Message credited to Henry Bailey Stevens, a writer for the <em>Woman's Journal and Suffrage News</em>, Boston, MA.<br /><br />Transcription: <br /><br />"If You Are a Minister<br /><br />When you look down into the faces of your congregation on Sunday morning, does it ever occur to you that women's place should be "at home"? You never wish, do you, that women had stayed away from the church? Probably you think it would be bad for both women and the church if the women did stay away.<br /><br />Don't you think it is equally bad for women to be barred from political life? When you go to the polls on election day, don't you wish the causes of the righteousness could be as sure of the same devotion as the church is from women? You of all persons have the least cause to be afraid of women. If you believe in woman suffrage, use your influence for it."<br /><br />Reverse of card contains printed message, "VOTES FOR WOMEN." The names Alice Stone Blackwell and Agnes E. Ryan are printed at the lower left. <br /><br />Stevens, Blackwell and Ryan were all associated with the <em>Woman's Journal.</em> <em> </em>

Votes for Women. Suffrage Rallying Song
<span>Musical score.<br /><br />Published in 1915, this suffrage rallying song was composed by Marie and Edward Zimmerman of Philadelphia. The Liberty Bell on the cover reminded women to “Proclaim Liberty Throughout All the Land Unto All the Inhabitants thereof” as they sought the right to vote. <br />The song is dedicated to Anna Howard Shaw, president of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, and “the Great Cause of Woman Suffrage.”<br /><br />Transcription: <br /><br />"What means this 'Votes for Women'? <br />Just this the time has come<br />When they may voice with freemen <br />Concerns of land and home!<br /><br />Then, snap the ancient tether<br />Enthralling us too long,<br />And stoutly pull together <br />To right a grievous wrong!<br /><br />The votes of sisters, mothers,<br />In ev'ry sovereign state,<br />For us and many others <br />May light the gloom of fate;<br /><br />The joyless haunt of drudges<br />Where children toil and die<br />May find these votes the judges<br />That ask the reason why!<br /><br />Then, sisters of our nation, <br />Put forth your mighiest nerve, <br />Remember with elation<br />The glorious cause you serve!<br /><br />Enlist your best endeavor, <br />What ever that may be;<br />With "Votes for Women" ever,<br />Press on to victory!"<br /><br /><br /></span>
