UNITED STATES: CITIES: PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA:
A History of School Libraries in Philadelphia, 1874 to 1964
A History of School Libraries in Philadelphia, 1874 to 1964
By Ruth L. Arthur
December 1964
<http://www.libraries.phila.k12.pa.us/misc/history.html>
As any chronicler knows, it is difficult to point to any one date or event
and say of an institution, "Here is where it all began." This is true of
public school libraries in Philadelphia. It doesn't take too such
imagination to conceive of dedicated pedagogues of the 19th century
gathering a few books for the further edification of their pupils.
Actually, it seems quite likely that here and there, without any
publicity, their sponsors unhonored and unsung, school libraries may have
existed almost as long as public schools.
When we consider recorded evidence we find a reference in Dr. Robert Wayne
Clark's book, The Genesis of the Philadelphia High School for Girls, to a
public exhibition in physical exercises hold in the Academy of Music in
1874, "the proceeds applied to the purchase of books for the Library." Dr.
Clark also notes that the new school, dedicated October 30, 1876,
contained a room designated as a library. In a communication from a school
librarians' committee to Dr. Broome in 1923, there is reference to the
number of terms the various libraries had been organized. The High School
for Girls claimed 94 terms, which would be consistent with the above date.
The library at Central High School goes back at least to 1888 when the
Associated Alumni established a Memorial Library of 1010 volumes.
Professor Edwin J. Houston was appointed Librarian. Students were
permitted to take one book a week on a designated day. Central can lay
claim to having the first Librarian listed in the Handbook of the Board of
Public Education. For the year 1904-05 Dr. Frederick Foster Christine is
listed as Librarian and Special Lecturer on Logic and School Law. He
continued, alone in the field, until the year 1909-10 when Miss Helen Hill
joined the ranks as Librarian at William Penn. Miss Hill is usually
considered to be the first specifically appointed school librarian. After
this year Dr. Christine's name no longer appears, and Miss Hill reigned
alone until joined in 1917 by Miss Elizabeth Gendell of the Philadelphia
Normal School Library.
Regardless of what date of origin is selected, two conclusions are obvious
to anyone reviewing the history of Philadelphia school libraries. The
first is that the Division of Libraries as it exists today, with 50
secondary and about 115 elementary libraries, is the result of a long,
hard, up-and-down hill struggle. Secondly, the establishment and early
growth of a school library system is largely due to the imagination,
foresight, and perseverance of Miss Ada F. Liveright who was appointed an
Clerk and Librarian to Superintendent of Schools, Martin G. Brumbaugh Jr.
on November 19, 1907.

Reactions to the death of the leader of the Civil Rights Movement in
America.
4.5.68 - Sound - Cleveland, Ohio, U.S.A. - Service to Martin Luther King.
Long shot of Robert F. Kennedy (RFK) at rostrum in front of audience
seated at tables in the Cleveland City Club. Newsreader (voice over)
speaks of RFK speaking of John F. Kennedy's death at the hands of a white
man. People sitting at tables. Black man in suit at table. Close up of
RFK's wife. Close up of RFK at rostrum with microphone in foreground. He
speaks of those looking for scapegoats and conspiracy but he states that
violence breeds violence, repression breeds retaliation and only a
cleansing of society can remove this sickness from our souls.
5.4.68 - Sound - Stokely Carmichael warns of retaliation after the death
of King. Carmichael standing at table on dais before seated journalists.
All present have their heads bowed, praying for King. White photographer
standing next to black man taking pictures. Carmichael, in sunglasses,
white shirt and casual jacket talks of white America being able to justify
deaths of Marcus Garvey, Malcolm X because they were extremists. However,
King's death cannot be justified as he was the only one teaching the black
man to love the white man. So, when white America killed King he declared
war on the black man. He calls for black people to retaliate for the death
of their leaders. States that there is no need for intellectual discussion
now because when white America killed King they lost.
4.5.68 - Sound - Carnegie Hall, New York, U.S.A. - white Robert Moseley
speaks at Carnegie Hall where a service is held for King on the night of
his death. Moseley states, 'My name is Robert Moseley, the producer of
this show. At 7.10 this evening Martin Luther King was shot in Tennessee.
This was to be a gala occasion for (sound poor - indicates two people)
appearing in Carnegie Hall. Martin Luther King twenty minutes ago died.'
There is a gasp from the audience. People in the audience look stunned.
Moseley asks white Reverend John Grenville (?) to lead prayer for King.
Grenville speaks into microphone, 'Long live King under the King of love.'
White women with their heads bowed. Black women wiping tears from eye.
Band plays gospel standard, choir singing.
4.5.68 - Sound - New York, U.S.A. - Rally. Crowd of youths. Focus on
banner, 'Protest King's Death' with a drawing of King in the corner. Crowd
chanting 'Martin Luther King'. Dr. Spock speaking to the crowd, states
that King stood for militancy. Money being passed forward from hand to
hand over the heads of the crowd. Spock finally states 'no man can fill
Dr. King's shoes.'
5.4.68 - Sound -New York, U.S.A.. Mayor Lindsay urges people to not resort
to violence. Long shot of Mayor sitting at desk speaking. Quotes King: Can
only fight hate with love and thereby close gaps in the communities. Calls
for New York citizens to conduct themselves peacefully. States that he has
spoken to the various churches so that people may pray. Concludes by
stating that Dr. King's funeral will be a formal day of mourning in New
York.

Drug data produced by BJS
Most of the information presented here is collected from BJS reports and
from other statistical agencies.
The primary sources of information include --
The National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS), which asks victims of
personal crimes if they believed the offenders had been using drugs
The Law Enforcement Management and Administrative Statistics (LEMAS)
program, which produces information on drug-related programs of State and
local police agencies
Correctional programs, which provide data on Federal and State prisoners,
jail inmates, and incarcerated youth, including data on their histories of
drug use and drug offenses
The Federal Justice Statistics Program, which collects and publishes
detailed data on drug law violators in the Federal justice system
The Sourcebook of Criminal Justice Statistics, which presents data on drug
use in the general population and on public opinion toward drugs and
enforcement of drug laws, and administrative law enforcement data from
agencies such as the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA)

Summary findings
According to the BJS National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS)--
Since 1994, violent crime rates have declined, reaching the lowest level
ever recorded in 2005. Trends in violent victimizations, 1973-2005.
Property crime rates continue to decline. Trends in property crime
victimizations, 1973-2005.
The NCVS is one of the Nation's largest ongoing household surveys. Survey
data tell us how many rapes, sexual assaults, robberies, assaults, thefts,
household burglaries, and motor vehicle thefts U.S. residents age 12 or
older and their households experience each year.
According to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's Uniform Crime
Reports,--
The violent crime rate increased 1.3% from 2004 to 2005. From 1996 to 2005
the rate fell 26.3%.
The property crime rate decreased 2.4% from 2004 to 2005. From 1996 to
2005, the rate fell 22.9%.
The FBI's Uniform Crime Reports Program (UCR) collects information from
local law enforcement agencies about crimes reported to police. The UCR
crime index includes seven offenses; homicide, forcible rape, robbery,
aggravated assault, burglary, larceny-theft, and motor vehicle theft.
For more information about the purposes and advantages of the UCR and the
NCVS, see The Nation's Two Crime Measures.
See also Data Online and Homicide Trends in the United States for
additional UCR data.
BJS criminal victimization data collections
National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS) is the Nation's primary source
of information on criminal victimization. Each year, data are obtained
from a nationally representative sample of 77,200 households comprising
nearly 134,000 persons on the frequency, characteristics and consequences
of criminal victimization in the United States. The survey enables BJS to
estimate the likelihood of victimization by rape, sexual assault, robbery,
assault, theft, household burglary, and motor vehicle theft for the
population as a whole as well as for segments of the population such as
women, the elderly, members of various racial groups, city dwellers, or
other groups. The NCVS provides the largest national forum for victims to
describe the impact of crime and characteristics of violent offenders.
Ongoing from 1973; Redesign 1992.

Codebooks and datasets
City-level survey of crime victimization and citizen attitudes. BJS in a
joint effort with the Office of Community Oriented Policing Services
(COPS) conducted victimization surveys in 12 selected cities. The standard
National Crime Victimization Survey instrument was used with questions
about citizen perceptions of community policing and neighborhood issues.
All sampled household residents age 12 or older were included in the
survey. Participating cities were -- Chicago, IL, Kansas City, MO,
Knoxville, TN, Los Angeles, CA, Madison, WI, New York, NY, San Diego, CA,
Savannah, GA, Spokane, WA, Springfield, MA, Tucson, AZ, Washington, DC.
Emergency Room Statistics on Intentional Violence collects data on
intentional injuries, such as domestic violence, rape, and child abuse,
from a national sample of hospital emergency rooms. Through the Consumer
Product Safety Commission's National Electronic Injury Surveillance
System, information is obtained on characteristics of the victim and
perpetrator, victim-perpetrator relationship, alcohol/drug involvement in
the incident, and description of circumstances of injury.
1994.
National Computer Security Survey (NCSS). The goal of NCSS is to produce
reliable national and industry-level estimates of the prevalence of
computer security incidents (such as denial of service attacks, fraud, or
theft of information) against businesses and the resulting losses incurred
by businesses. The first national survey of thousands of businesses is
being conducted in 2006. It is cosponsored by the Bureau of Justice
Statistics and the National Cyber Security Division (NCSD) of the U.S.
Department of Homeland Security. The RAND Corporation is the data
collection agent.
The NCSS collects data on -
the nature and extent of computer security incidents
monetary costs and other consequences of these incidents
incident details such as types of offenders and reporting to authorities
computer security measures used by companies.
Justice Survey Software (JSS)
BJS has developed FREE web-based software for State and local justice
agencies to conduct their own surveys to collect data on topics such as
crime victimization, attitudes towards policing, and other community or
organizational related issues using standardized questions available from
various sources
Justice Survey Software (JSS) Web-based Version, 2.0 is now available.

5. Keep your Jesus off my Penis

Keep your Jesus off my Penis
by Eric Schwartz
lyrics at
http://www.godlessgeeks.com/LINKS/JesusPenis.htm
[Excerpts]
"...So you're screaming bloody murder
'Bout the taliban regime
For subjugating women
And being too extreme
And basing legislation
On some ancient holy book
Does that sound a bit familiar?
Here's a mirror, have a look..."
[...]
But who the fuck are you
To turn your views into my laws?
It's just believers in the bible
That would have abortion banned
Anti-choice agnostics?..."
