1890-91 Student Employment Records
-
Description
-
In the 1890s, potential students had to have their employers or another person vouch for them when they applied to take classes at the Mechanic's Institute. But some people didn't have employers. Children, like nine-year-old Max Adler, could enroll in weekday classes, or in Max's case, weekend classes, like Freehand Drawing. The students' names, employers, ages, occupations, and courses were recorded in student employment records, like this one from 1890-91.
