About This Item
[Early Women Education]. Autograph Letter Signed on verso of a Handbill regarding Ragged Schools, April 13, 1868. Rev. H. Newton-Vicar of St. michael's Mission Schools, Lant Street writes to a donor about the work of the Ragged schools. Verso is a broadside for "The Lant Street Ragged Schools for Boys and Girls, Borough, Southwark." Reading in part, "These Ragged Schools are placed in the midst of the poorest populationin Southwark, in are the largest (with about 850 attendances daily) and the most important in South London..." Attendance shows girls far outnumbered boys in the school, "Boys (in the Lower School Room)...167, Girls (in the Upper School Room)...243...Afternoon, Boys...162, Girls...233. The attendants at the Evening School, in which more grown persons of both sexes are taught to read and write, number about...65." He has made notes in his hand on the broadside portion, in part, "Ragged Schools, male & female." At the time that this description is being written, no copies are recorded in American institutions. OCLC search results are at best an estimate and can vary over time. This rare handbook is considerably more interesting for the first-hand manuscript content regarding the coeducational activities of the school.
