“Seth material” search engine (Jane Roberts)

(As stated, the object is an article taken from The Saratogian of September 1950. Jane wrote it, since she had a part-time job with the newspaper while attending Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, New York. The object concerns the election of Jane as president of the Day Students Council in her junior year, and the photo at the top of the article shows Jane and the other three female members of the council. They wear the “uniform" in style then—blue jeans.

(“A circumvention.” My interpretation involves the article on the back of the object. See page 169, and my insert, originally omitted and added with this typing. The news article concerns the Feinberg Law, which spells out the intent of the New York State Legislature in the Education Law, concerning the removal of any school employees for treasonable or seditious acts. The pertinent lines in the story being: “This law in no way violates the constitutional rights of freedom of speech, press or assembly. The Constitution was meant to preserve our gov’t., not to serve as a protecting screen for those who would seek to destroy it…”

(“Connection with a barrister or lawyer.” The whole of the news story indicated on the back of the object, as shown on page 169 concerns law, statues, the Constitution, overthrow, rights, government, etc., plus the mention of two names: Feinberg, and Aronowitz. Feinberg sponsored a law bearing his name, and possibly is, or was, a New York State legislator. We do not know the profession of Mr. Aronowitz, who is quoted in the article via a lecture delivered about the law. Evidently he is connected to New York State in some official capacity.

(“With civil, or civil rights.” Again see the article on the back of the object, shown on page 169. The whole tone of the news story about the Feinberg law and the Education Law of New York State concerns the protection of civil rights, and protection by the Constitution; but without using the constitution as a hiding place for subversives, etc. We regard this as excellent data.

(“Distant connection with a train.” We are not sure. If train means travel, the article on the front of the object mentions that one of the newly-elected council members, Frances Donahue, has returned to Skidmore after two years practice nursing in New York City.

(“and also with a serial number.” Again not sure. On the back of the object, in the Globe electrical ad, there are two series of numbers: 449 Broadway, and phone 1505. In the news article above, is a mention of section 3021 of the New York education law.
