Transcription of diary of Rosena Craig Foster Whitlock by her granddaughter and donor of her diary.
Ohne TitelLetter from Lowell Johnson, Director of Physical Education Department at Roosevelt High School in Dunellen, New Jersey, complimenting Haskell on "Listener Speaks Program" radio show.
It is not known whether or not, or where, Ida Totten might have attended a Normal School or received teacher training, but in the fall term of 1883, she began a diary to record her first experience of teaching in Greenville (now called Greendell) School, in Sussex County. She described her frustrations with named children in her class and the challenges of disciplining them, as well as her activities at home on the weekends including attending temperance meetings and church. The final pages of the diary are from May 1884 and contain notes from Page’s Theory and Practice of Teaching, so perhaps she was continuing her teaching education, or had not yet graduated (if she did).
Some of the names mentioned in the diary include: Catherine or Kate Ayers Rutan, Sarah Grace Batley Coleman, Louis Berry, Elsie F. Howell, Abraham or Abram Hubert, Rosie Kinney, Irving Labar, Anna or Annie Longcor, Cora Longcor, Daniel Longcor, William K. Longcor, Stella R. Morris Emmans, Mr. and Mrs. Redding, J. Stackhouse, Annie Stackhouse, Benton Stackhouse, Cassius Stackhouse, Albert Stang, Anson Stang, William Stang, Dr. Sidney Brian Straley, Benjamin Totten, and Jacob or Jake Wolf.
The handwritten diary of Mary Jane Sergeant (Larison) contains a series of journal entries from 1855-1856 describing her experiences and studies while attending the New Jersey State Normal School in Trenton, New Jersey. The diary encompasses the first term of the Normal School and provides a glimpse into the earliest days of its opening years, highlighting the variety of subjects studied including Latin, arithmetic, climatology and cartography and reflecting theory and practice in teachers' colleges in the mid-19th century. Some entries in the latter half of the diary appear out of chronological order. The diary makes mention of the laying of the cornerstone of the first permanent building at the Normal School, the first Principal Willian Phelps, as well as several instructional texts for teachers' education of the period.
