No full textAbstract: The correspondence, outgoing and incoming, of botanist and author Alice J. Norton of Bristol, Connecticut.Scope and Content Note: The collection contains the correspondence, outgoing and incoming, of botanist and author Alice J. Norton of Bristol, Connecticut. Besides the usual subjects of health and family, the letters cover a much wider range of topics, including plants, drawing, photography, and travel.Biographical/Historical Note: Alice Jeanette Norton, daughter of Gad and Mary Ann Wiard Norton, was born on January 28, 1845, in Bristol, Connecticut. She was an avid botanist and traveled widely. In 1902, she authored
Compounce, 1846-1902, a history of Lake Compounce, the oldest continuously-operating amusement park in North America (founded by her father in 1846 as a "picnic" park). Alice never married, living with her brothers until her death on November 19, 1911

Alice Miel and Democratic Schooling: An Early Curriculum Leader\u27s Ideas on Social Learning and Social Studies
No full textAlice Miel, a nationally prominent curriculum development scholar-practitioner at Teachers College of Columbia University for some three decades (1942-1971), frequently has been overlooked in research on the nature and evolution of the curriculum field and the progressive education movement. Furthermore, her contributions have been overlooked even as attention to women in the curriculum field and in educational history has risen. This study addresses this oversight.
Miel became a leading figure in the curriculum field largely on the basis of her progressive-era advocacy and practice of democratic social learning as a primary goal of schooling in the United States. This study explores major influences on her ideas, her understandings of democratic concepts and principles, and her application of these concepts and principles both in her own college classroom and in her research on childhood education. It also explores Miel\u27s notions of the elementary school social studies :urriculum and situates those notions within the context of the conventional wisdom of her day regarding a discipline-centered curriculum.
In a broader context, this study contributes to the body of curriculum history scholarship. According to Kliebard (1992), for example, curriculum history often deals with the relationship between social change and changing ideas and contains significant social and cultural artifacts of knowledge that have become embodied in the curriculum of schools. Davis (1976, 1977) characterizes curriculum history as a reflective enterprise for curriculum workers that contributes to their understanding of present courses of study and of the professional field by lending a framework for thoughtful deliberation of what the schools should teach. With these observations in mind, Miel\u27s work may be understood as both artifact of curriculum history and as mindful reflection, situated within a particular social and historical context, on democratic meanings and processes. Biographies of Caswell, Taba, Tyler, Schwab, Kilpatrick, Rugg, Bobbitt, Zirbes, Stratemeyer, and others have yielded significant insights. In addition, Seguel\u27s study of early curriculum leaders (1966) constitutes an important theoretical contribution to the field. The study of Miel\u27s life and work adds to this body of knowledge
Coherent J/psi photoproduction at forward rapidity in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pb collisions at root s(NN)=5.02 TeV
No full textThe ALICE collaboration performed the first rapidity-differential measurement of coherent J/psi photoproduction in ultra-peripheral Pb-Pbcollisions at a center-of-mass energy root s(NN) = 5.02TeV. The J/psi is detected via its dimuon decay in the forward rapidity region (-4.0 <y <-2.5) for events where the hadronic activity is required to be minimal. The analysis is based on an event sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of about 750 mu b(-1). The cross section for coherent J/psi production is presented in six rapidity bins. The results are compared with theoretical models for coherent J/psi photoproduction. These comparisons indicate that gluon shadowing effects play a role in the photoproduction process. The ratio of psi' to J/psi coherent photoproduction cross sections was measured and found to be consistent with that measured for photoproduction off protons. (C) 2019 The Author.

Diary of C. J. Sanders
No full textDiary - This document is the personal diary of Constance Jukes Sanders, daughter of Gilbert E. Sanders, Superintendent of the Northwest Mounted Police 1905-1908. The diary begins on August 27, 1910, and ends April 6, 1911. Diary entries include daily activities of C. J. Sanders during her nineteenth and twentieth years, while living in Athabasca Landing with her parents. C. J. spent her days doing housework at the family's home, and often taught Sunday School at the local church. A favourite pastime was having friends over to play bridge in the evening, or riding ponies during the daytime. Church was a big part of the family's week. The women also spent a lot of time cooking, cleaning and sewing. C. J. took a boat over to Europe with her mother and father just before Christmas in 1910. She was very seasick during the trip. While in Europe they visited family and friends in England, Ireland and France (45 pages
