Raphia and Reed Weaving
A practical course for primary and elementary schools, RAPHIA AND REED WEAVING Elizabeth Sanborn Knapp was published in 1920 by Milton Bradley, Springfield MA. The 132-page hardbound book features figures throughout that accompany the text in construction of dozens of projects.
Weaving technique is taught, starting with construction paper, then to cardboard and raphia and reeds. Following the third year of study, says the text, the boy is eager and well-fitted to take up bench work, and the girl to be initiated into the cutting and marking of dolls’ garments.
The book is in Good condition, although ex lib with the usual library markings. The covers show edge/corner/spine end wear. The spine is somewhat discolored. Inside pages show some edge wear, but are complete, readable and utterly fascinating! (6220/r34)

1896 Packard Commercial Arithmetic
The New Packard Commercial Arithmetic is a great example of the mathematics coursework required in many of the late 19th, early 20th century business schools!
Written by S. S. Packard, president of Packard's Business College in New York, and Byron Horton, principal of the Packard College Mathematical Department, the hardbound book was published in 1896 by S. S. Packard.
The name 'Capital City Commercial College, Des Moines, Iowa' is imprinted in gilt on the front, along with the book's title.
This revised edition was a 'complete Commercial Arithmatic' because it included not only business applications, but many of the fundamentals of mathematics. A large number of practical examples are used.
Topics covered include the basics of roman notation, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, U.S. money, properties of numbers, fractions, decimals, denominate numbers, the metric system, aliquot parts, percentages, profit and loss, discounts, bills, commission and brokerage, interest, present worth and true discount, compound interest, commercial paper, bank discounts, partial payments, ratios and proportions, insurance, exchange, equation of accounts, accounts current, stocks and bonds, taxes, duties, partnership, national banks, savings banks, life insurance and more!
The information in many cases is dated, of course, but much is also still relevant to today's business world.
Any collector of historical business records or textbooks from another era will find this one interesting! It's in Good condition with some scuffs and edge/corner wear on covers, some yellowing of inside pages, quite a few pencil notations in margins and on endpapers. The front endpaper, with previous owners' names and dates of ownership, is loose, but still present.
It's a nice old-timer! (1625)

1910 Health Lessons, Book Two
Alvin Davison, professor of biology at Lafayette College, is the author of HEALTH LESSONS, Book Two, published in 1910 by the American Book Co., New York. His goal was to present the subject of personal and public health so it would appeal to the interest of boys and girls and fix in their minds the essentials of right living.
In fact, the 288-page hardbound book covers a great deal of the then-latest knowledge of health. Terrific drawings illustrate many of the subjects covered.
Some of the topics include: human body as living machine; plant/animal health; food for the body and how it’s used; care and cooking of food; drink and health; tobacco and other narcotics; blood and its passage through body; breathing, air and health; cleanliness and warmth; clothing and colds; bones, muscles, nervous system; causes of sickness; medical inspection in the schools; help for injuries; hospitals, sanatoria and dispensaries; adulterated food and drink; saving of health and life. Some of the approaches to these topics are almost humorous when compared with today’s knowledge!
Condition of the book is Good+ with slight edge/corner/spine end wear and light soil to the covers. Inside pages are clean, crisp and without apparent defects. Want some insight into how your grandparents learned human biology? Here’s a beauty!
