RARE piece of historical ephemera for this school founded in 1883 by Margaret Bancroft [1854-1912] Thank you to the New Jersey Women's History website for this information: Founded in 1883 under the original name “The Haddonfield School for the Mentally Deficient and Peculiarly Backward”, Bancroft’s institution hoped to develop innovative ways of teaching developmentally disabled children. Bancroft created a specialized program for the physical, mental, and spiritual growth of each particular student. She valued the importance of proper nutrition, personal hygiene, exercise, daily prayers, sensory and artistic development, and lessons suited to mental age. Students were also treated to different forms of recreation, which included trips to the circus, theaters, museums, and concerts. Renamed in 1904 the institution became known as the Bancroft Training School. small ad size approx. 2" x 2 3/4" (ruler for ref. only and is not included)EXCELLENT condition for being WELL OVER 100 years old!!from smoke-free homeNOTE: I have OODLES more interesting old ads listed, so be sure to check'em out and $ave with combined $hipping!ENJOY! & Thanks for stoppin' and shoppin'! - Kari :o) SHIPPING NOTES: FAST shipping is always a TOP PRIORITY!
