"Are Teaching Techniques Meant For Children?", 1944
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The Dorothy W. Baruch (1899-1962) Collection includes typed and handwritten manuscripts, articles, editing notes, diplomas, awards, correspondence, a calendar, and other materials documenting Baruch's life as a teacher, children's psychologist, and author of books for parents and children. Included in the collection are four diplomas awarded to Baruch: Kindergarten-Primary School Training School Certificate from Broadoaks in Pasadena, California, Master of Education in Child Research from Broadoaks, Bachelor of Education from Broadoacks, and a PhD. from the Claremont Graduate School in Claremont, California. She was the first person to graduate from Claremont Graduate School - then Claremont University College - in 1937. Aside from her degrees, Baruch's various manuscripts and published articles in the collection make evident the esteemed work she did in her field. The texts illuminate her exploration of child trauma associated with World War II and her goal to bridge cultural gaps through her writing. Included in the manuscripts are two of her children's books: "Kappa and Farmer Shiba" and "Kobo's Wish." The material on "Kobo's Wish" also includes a painted woodblock and film containing illustrations from the text. Also of note in the collection is a medal Baruch received from Parent’s Magazine.
