Weather effects on European agricultural output, 1850 1913

This paper compares the effects of weather shocks on agricultural production in Britain, France and Germany during the late nineteenth century. Using semi- parametric models to estimate the non-linear agro-weather relationship, we find that weather shocks explain between one and two-thirds of variations in agricultural production. Given the large size of the agricultural sector during this period, the high variance of agricultural production and the cyclical nature of weather shocks, the agro-weather relationship transmitted large effects on macroeconomic fluctuations over much of the period

Intelligence of school children: Los Angeles as a case study 1922-1932

In an effort to construct the most advanced school system in the nation, Los Angeles school administrators and educators initiated a new scientific method of group intelligence testing. Almost immediately educators discovered serious limitations with the process and resisted its exclusive use. This study examines the reception of this new technology in Los Angeles between 1922 and 1932. Many historians have seen those associated with I.Q. measuring as bulwarks supporting the hegemony of Anglo-Saxon upper-middle class society. While their criticism has brought some non-equitable aspects of twentieth-century public education to surface, it has not led to our understanding of how educators interpreted the tests. An analysis of the sources, including reports published in the Department of Psychology and Education Research Bulletin of the Los Angeles City Schools, the Teachers' and Principals' School Journal, and the Minute~ of the Board of Education, provides insight into how Los Angeles educators viewed standardized testing

Expanding transnational networks : the impact of internal conflict on the feminist press in Dokumente der Frauen (1899–1902) and Neues Frauenleben (1902–17)

This article examines the interpersonal tensions between co-editors Auguste Fickert (1855–1910) and Marie Lang (1858–1934) to show how internal editorial conflict can stimulate transnational editorial relations. By placing the disagreement within the larger context of the international women’s movement at the turn of the century, I argue that Fickert’s vision on women’s organizations differed from Lang’s: Fickert fostered the transnational role of the periodical press, whereas Lang invested in a local approach. Although conflict has been considered a constitutive aspect of the periodical press, it has not been examined before in light of German feminist periodicals, such as Dokumente der Frauen (1899–1902), which Fickert co-edited for some time with Lang and Rosa Mayreder (1858–1938) and Neues Frauenleben (1902–17), of which she was the sole editor from 1902 to 1910. This article traces Fickert’s transnational collaborations. More specifically, it takes her connection to Finnish-born female editor Maikki Friberg (1861–1927) as a case in point to demonstrate how her personal and professional relationship with Friberg resonates through the pages of Dokumente and increasingly so, Neues Frauenleben. I will show how Fickert’s new periodical, Neues Frauenleben, benefited from her collaboration with Friberg especially, and resulted in a myriad of transnational connections that were mainly — but not only — Nordic. By taking the periodical as a locus of personal and professional conflict and collaboration, this article thus shed light on an under-researched link between female editorship and transnationality

Johannes Volkelt i Mścisław Wartenberg – neokantowska filozofia Kanta w Polsce

The paper is devoted to an issue of Polish reception of Kant’s thought and an history of Polish research on this philosophy. It concerns the impact of Neo- Kantianism to assimilate the ideas of Kant in Poland. Its subjectis the comparison of the philosophical ideas of the twothinkers in different ways related to Polish: Johannes Volkelt (1848–1930) from Lipnik (now part of Bielsko-Biała) and professor of philosophy at the Jan Kazimierz University of Lviv Mścisław Wartenberg (1868– –1938). Philosophically connect their research on the thought of Kant and the defense of the scientific nature of metaphysics. The purpose of this comparison is to identify the border between the literal reading of Kant’s philosophy and the spirit expressed in a new way by the Neo-Kantians.Narodowe Centrum Nauk
