Abstract:

Records of the Nelson Dewey elementary school P.T.A., organized in 1921 “to promote child welfare...to raise the standards of home life...to bring into closer relation the home and the school...[and to] secure for every child the highest advantage in physical, mental, moral and spiritual education.” Included are the constitution, bylaws, minutes, annual reports, financial records, membership records, directories, clippings, awards, historical information, correspondence, and scrapbooks containing clippings, photographs, scattered reports, minutes, financial information, and membership records. There are also records documenting the Junior Garden Club (ca. 1934-1941, a student club at the school) and a typed reminiscence by Gov. Nelson Dewey's cook titled “Our First Governor Liked Plain Cooking.”
