Might want to pick a different cover to show, and keep that one secret.
"An outdoor school where boys learn to think and work"
Current culture can't have that now,
What are some of the other covers and articles.
Backs and fronts.

Published from 1901- 1916 in Syracuse and NYC, at the height of the Craftsman or Arts and Crafts period (think Stickley, Roycrofters, Frank Lloyd Wright)

Okay, so, honestly, given some world history, and some of what I hear from certain people in this country now,,, some of those article titles scare me. When we are combining stuff about state schools, reforming, parents, and farming,,, I'm getting visions of Pol Pot.
What are the articles like?

I'd love to get a copy of them! Maybe you can bring them to the meet-up and I can get a digital copy?
You will find a number of the articles in the magazines various issues that lean toward socialism as that seemed to be the craze at the time. My attraction to it has been to the man Gustav Stickley and the style he advocated, not just 8n furniture but in handcrafts in general. If you are interested you can find pdfs of the mags here:

The Roycrofters lived on a commune style facility in NY making furniture and pottery. The definitely had left leanings, if not outright socialism. This permeated the thinking of the era.
