This directory, originally published in 1908, offers a fascinating glimpse into the educational landscape of early 20th-century New York City. "Directory and Subjects of Instruction in the Vacation Schools, Playgrounds, and Evening Recreation Centres" provides a detailed overview of the curriculum and activities offered in the city's vacation schools, playgrounds, and evening recreation centers.
Compiled by the New York Board of Education, the book offers insights into the subjects taught, the methods of instruction employed, and the overall organization of these supplementary educational programs. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the history of education, social reform efforts, and community engagement during a transformative period in American urban history. This directory highlights the progressive movement's emphasis on providing enriching experiences for children and adults outside of traditional school settings.
