Design, according to Adrian Forty, encompasses not just how things look, but how they are made and marketed as well. In a very readable and well-illustrated book, Forty shows how design reflects and changes culture. His fascinating historical accounts show how modern consumer society developed. Victorian pocket knives, for instance, mirrored and reinforced that era's strict social structure. In another example, Forty reaches back to the 1750s to show how Wedgewood china introduced revolutionary changes in industrial manufacturing, design, and marketing that made the industrial revolution possible.

Extractions: Introductory Comments by D. Bruce Ayler The following website is a collection of magazines, books, newspapers, newsletters, photos, and interviews. Most of them have been published in one form or another. Where the original source is known, it is specified. The purpose of this site is to help educate the American Public about this chapter of American History. This is one part of our heritage that has been ignored. There are those who will claim that it never happened. Over the years, I have met many living witnesses to these events. These are their stories. There are too many similar stories to be ignored. This is no where near a complete listing of all those children. For every story documented, there are ten more that are not. The majority of these children have grown up, contributed to the welfare of America, had their families, and passed on to their reward. Although there are still many living witnesses, they are in their 70s and 80s. Soon, the living witnesses will be gone. A much more complete listing is kept at OTHSA National Headquarters in Concordia, Ks. To protect their privacy, all personal contact with these Riders, must be cleared through the National Office. See the top of this page for contact numbers. There has been a debate as to re-establish the Orphanage system. This collection includes comments from both sides of the debate. Some surprising comments come from orphans themselves. These articles are included to stir some thoughtsnot to express the opinions of OTHSA organization.

http://www.system.missouri.edu/upress/spring1997/patrick.htm

Extractions: As an "orphan train" crossed the country, it left part of its cargo at each stop, a few children in one small town and a few in another. Even though farmers needed many hands for labor, most of the small farm communities could not or would not take all of the children on the train. As the train moved to its next stop, those children not taken feared no one would ever want them. Early immigration laws encouraged the poor of Europe to find new hope with new lives in the United States. But sometimes the immigrants exchanged a bad situation in their native country for an even worse one on the streets of New York and other industrial cities. As a result, the streets were filled with crowds of abandoned children that the police called "street arabs." Many New York citizens blamed the street arabs for crime and violence in the city and wanted them placed in orphan homes or prisons. In 1853 a man by the name of Charles Loring Brace, along with other well-to-do men in New York City, founded the Children's Aid Society. The society planned to give food, lodging, and clothing to homeless children and provide educational and trade opportunities for them. But the number of children needing help was so large that the Children's Aid Society was unable to care for them, and Brace developed a plan to send many of the children to the rural Midwest by train. He was convinced that the children of the streets would find many benefits in rural America. In 1854 he persuaded the board of the society to send the first trainload of orphans west. With this, the orphan trains were born.

http://eduscapes.com/42explore/orphan.htm

Extractions: The Topic: Orphan Trains Easier - Beginning in 1854, for seventy-six years thousands of homeless, neglected poor children from New York City were moved west to rural towns and farm communities. They traveled by rail. Families took them into their homes. Some became foster children or were adopted into a family. Others lived as boarders, apprentices, or live-in laborers. Some found good homes; others found a new life of indentured service or even abuse. Some loved and were loved in their new homes. Others ran away or moved on to another family. Harder - From 1854 to 1929, orphan trains from New York "placed out" 150,000 to 200,000 destitute children, mainly to homes in the farming communities of the Midwest. Some of these children, young infants to age 15, were orphans. Many were homeless street kids, and others were given-up by parents unable to provide for their well-being. Some had been abandoned by their families, were runaways, or had been removed from abusive homes. Children on the orphan trains came from the street gangs and orphan asylums of the city. During the orphan train trip, children were accompanied by a placing agent. The trains stopped in scheduled locations. Children usually lined up in front of prospective takers on a platform or at a meeting hall. They were encouraged to look and act their best. Inspection sometimes involved poking and prodding; an attempt to ascertain their value as workers on farms or in local shops and businesses. Children that were not selected returned to the train to travel on to the another stop.

http://www.history-us.com/Emancipation_and_Reconstruction_18621879_The_American_

Extractions: Author and Historian, Michael Perman, wrote this short but very factual book dealing with the Emancipation and the Reconstruction era including the Emancipation Proclamation ranging from 1862 throughout 1879. Perman gave a broad picture giving a great number of details and government views in the 19th Century. The particular interpretation of the emancipation brought to me, a very up-front explanation that was full of facts but the same time was very interesting. Emancipation and Reconstruction examines the ways in which historians have interpreted the major events and issues of the era. The book also introduces previously neglected areas of interest that have assumed new significance, such as the nature of the southern labor system after slavery and the role of blacks in Reconstruction politics.

http://www.alumni.caltech.edu/~rbell/OrphanAbduction.html

Extractions: In 1904 the New York Foundling Hospital, an orphanage run by the Little Sisters of Mercy, an order of Catholic nuns, placed 40 children for adoption with 'good Catholic families' (New York state law allowed the guardians of children to require that adoptive families meet religious requirements) in Clifton, Arizona, a copper-mining town in southeast Arizona. In 1904 protestants often placed children out for adoption without arranging adoptive families first: the train arrived at a station and prospective adoptive parents picked through the children looking for a likely child; sometimes they reserved the right to return children who did not work out. In Clifton in 1904 only 'Mexicans' (either American citizens of Mexican heritage or Mexican emigrants) attended the Catholic church; the few 'white' Catholic families in town did not because they would have had to associate with 'Mexicans'. In such a small town everyone knew about the daily arrival of the train and all knew about the orphan train. Since the 'white' families did not associate with 'Mexicans' they did not know that the priest had placed all the children with specific families - they expected the baby auction that most protestant organizations sponsored (though none had ever arrived in Clifton it happened often enough elsewhere that most had heard about it). 'White' women who wanted children ('white' women had a fertility rate of 1.7, lower than the average American woman today, not because they did not want children but because Clifton did not have a sanitary water supply or method of disposal of sewage and the mine's smelters put a lot of sulfur into the air) met the train, chose children (aged 2-6, most about 3-4) that they liked. When the priest took them away and gave them to the parents with whom he had arranged their adoption they became irate.

HISTORY OF VARIAN FRY

http://www.almondseed.com/vfry/fryhist.htm

Extractions: An American Hero. . . Varian Fry found his courage when called upon to act in a moment of extraordinary historical and personal challenge, saving thousands of lives during the Second World War. After Germany's invasion and partition of France in June 1940, Varian Fry, a young editor from New York, went to Marseilles, France, as the representative of a newly formed, private American relief committee. In Marseilles, Fry offered aid and advice to anti-Fascist refugees who found themselves threatened with extradition to Nazi Germany under Article 19 of the Franco-German Armistice the "Surrender on Demand" clause. Working day and night, in opposition to French and even obstructionist American authorities, Fry assembled a band of associates and built an elaborate rescue network. Convinced that he could not abandon the operation while desperate refugees needed him, Fry extended his stay into a 13 month odyssey carrying on without his passport, under constant surveillance and, more than once, questioned and detained by the authorities. Establishing a legal French relief organization, The American Relief Center, Fry worked behind its cover using illegal means black-market funds, forged documents, secret mountain and sea routes to spirit some 2000 endangered people from France.
