Title A name given to the resource Sarah Josepha Hale Collection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1826-1869 Description An account of the resource Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879) was a major literary figure of the 19th century. Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled Northwood in 1827. Northwood advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource. This collection of letters contains the correspondence of Sarah Josepha Buell Hale. It contains letters relating to both her professional and personal life and spans a 43 year period. It also contains a small number of letters between her close relatives. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Text Any textual data included in the document J.R. Underwood presents his respects to Sarah J Hale & informs her that he has read the paper sent him with deep interest. He has long been impressed by the truths it announces & if he could devote the larger part of the public lands to purposes of education he would most readily do it. He fears however that this great fund will be squandered by the selfish schemes of political demagogues & that women & children will reap but few blessings from a wise administration of the public lands.

Title A name given to the resource Sarah Josepha Hale Collection Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1826-1869 Description An account of the resource Sarah Josepha Buell Hale (1788-1879) was a major literary figure of the 19th century. Born in New Hampshire, she was educated at home and by her mother and brother, Horatio. She married a young lawyer, David Hale, who died in 1822. As a result she had to find a way to support herself and her five children. She utilized her literary skills and published a collection of poems with mild success followed by her first novel entitled Northwood in 1827. Northwood advocated the repatriation of slaves to Africa by means of Liberia and called for New England style morality throughout the nation. In 1828 she began editing The Ladies’ Magazine of Boston, the first magazine for women to be edited by a woman. It had its financial difficulties and was united with Godey’s Lady’s Book (the majorly influential women’s magazine of the 19th century) in 1837. Godey’s was based in Philadelphia and she eventually she moved to Philadelphia from Boston to become more involved in her editorship of the magazine. These magazines acted as her platform to promote her moral agendas. She was a major proponent of equal education for women; however she was not a suffragist. She pushed for men and women to remain within their god-given spheres and believed women needed education to be better moral upholders of the home. Aside from being the editor of Godey’s Lady’s Book, she wrote many books and poems while lobbying for educational and social reform. Hale is also the author of Mary had a Little Lamb and the main person responsible for making Thanksgiving a national holiday (it was previously only celebrated in her native New England). Hale died in 1879 and was survived by four children (her oldest son died in 1839). Abstract A summary of the resource. This collection of letters contains the correspondence of Sarah Josepha Buell Hale. It contains letters relating to both her professional and personal life and spans a 43 year period. It also contains a small number of letters between her close relatives. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document Washington, Sept. 16th 1850. Mrs. Hale, Dear Madam, I avail myself of my earliest moments of leisure to give you a reply. By the official School Report of last year, it appears that the whole No. of Teachers in our Public Schools, was 8163. Of these 2426 were males, & 5737 females. It must be stated however, that this statement embraces all the teachers for both the winter & summer school; so that they are substantially reckoned twice. You will see by this that considerably more than half of all the teachers in our Public schools are female. They teach, not merely small children, but large boys, - men grown; & if they have knowledge & dignity of character, they manage young men, not only like a charm, but with a charm. We have one Normal School in Massachusetts exclusively devoted to females, It is near Boston, where objections exist to the attendence [attendance] of both sexes, as such a mature age, (or immature) on the same school. In the country, we have two other Normal Schools, open to both sexes. In Albany there is a very large Nor. School for both sexes. In Connecticut, there is a kind of Normal School, but it is not kept for [the?] same class only ten weeks. In Philadelphia, also there is one; about which you can obtain more detailed information, on the spot, than I can give you. These are the only Public Nor. Schools, I know of in this country, - schools sustained by the state, or, like that at Philadelphia, by the city. There are Normal classes in one of the Schools in New York city, there is a private Normal School in the interior of New York State, & another near Manchester, N.H. kept by Wm. Russell. In the Nor. Sch.s of Mass. we prepare about 150 for teachers each year. I have written not a little, in favor of employing Female Teachers. This sex is advocated in almost all my official Reports, which are published in the Common School Journal. Thro'out [Throughout] the ten volumes of the Journal, while I was its Editor, much was said on this subject, the index will help you to it. I have always advocated their employment in my lectures. I take the liberty to send you a short extract from one of them; I remain, with great regard, Very truly yrs. & & Horace Mann.
