      <image:title>Stories - Cora Jeffers: A Visionary in Education and Beyond</image:title>
      <image:caption>Charles Doolittle and his wife, Martha (Dole) Doolittle, lived humbly as farmers in rural Wheatland Township, Michigan, when their daughter Cora was born on April 1, 1871. Wheatland Township, about 60 miles north-east of Grand Rapids, is still a small area but when Cora was a child, it would have been incredibly rural, with no incorporated villages and only sparsely populated farms and rough dirt roads. The family would have been self-sustaining through the intense work of gardening, farming, canning, taking care of animals, etc. This hard work included the children, and they would have done jobs around the home and farm from the time they were small, which certainly gave Cora the foundation of discipline she showed later through her many accomplishments. Cora, along with her siblings Martha, Inez, and Stewart, attended a small schoolhouse nearby, as many Michigan schoolchildren did at the end of the 19th century. As there was not yet any formal education structure or rules on compulsory education in Michigan, there was no high school available for Cora to attend from her isolated farm. She had to stop school sometime before completing a diploma, which must have devastated the curious and bright young woman. Showing her ambitions early and, because she could no longer be a student, she instead became a teacher in a local schoolhouse at only 16. There, in the schoolroom amongst students, Cora knew she had found her place. After taking an assortment of entrance exams in subjects such as Grammar and Geography due to her lack of diploma, Cora joined the Michigan State Normal School (which later became Eastern Michigan University) in the fall of 1887. It would have been a big adjustment from the farmhouse to the busy streets of Ypsilanti, but 16-year-old Cora was determined in her decision to become an educator.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>It is unknown when the relationship between Fred and Coras became romantic, but the earliest indication of pair knowing each other was that they both are listed as participants in the school debate club. In May of 1890, the school held its “Normal News Oration Contest,” and both Cora and Fred gave persuasive speeches. Cora’s “The Awkward Squad,” an allegory about American being a ship sailing through rough weather, was not selected as a winner but Fred’s “The Pen is Mightier Than the Sword,” self-explanatory, received second place in the men’s category. Both graduating cum laude, Cora and Fred were each selected to speak at the 1891 Michigan State Normal School commencement ceremony. Cora’s address was titled “Knighthood” while Fred’s discussed “The Impatience of Modern Civilization.” Cora, a farm girl without a high school education, had completed an impressive four-year teaching degree before the age of 21. The Ypsilanti Commercial noted in their coverage of the event that “[the speakers] acquitted themselves so well that it was the almost unanimous opinion of the immense audience, that the Normal Commencement never went off so well before.”</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Cora’s tenure in Sault Ste Marie was short-lived but successful. She became principal during her second year there, from 1892-1893. This is an impressive accomplishment for a 22-year-old woman even now but was even more unusual at a time when women did not hold many positions of power in education. She retained her title when moving across the Upper Peninsula to Atlantic Mine, where she moved to join her new husband Fred in 1894. A position as superintendent had been created for the impressive new principal who had been able to get a handle of the rowdy boys of the school. The Board of Education was eager to hire his new bride, whom they were undoubtedly also impressed by. The couple would continue to teach together “shoulder-to-shoulder,” as many sources explain it, for the next 55 years.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Cora and Fred quickly recognized that the township needed a more central secondary school that could serve the growing population of mining families scattered across Atlantic Mine, Painesdale, Baltic, Trimountain, and the surrounding locations. By the early 1900s the Copper Range Mining Company had expanded to Painesdale, a town a few miles west of Atlantic Mine. It was decided that the new central high school should be built in Painesdale. Painesdale High School, along with a home for the superintendent and principal across the street, was completed in 1909. The new railway depots available there and in the other township towns created the idea for a Copper Range railway school train. Students from places like Freda, Beacon Hill, Edgemere, Stanwood, Redridge, Salmon Trout, and Obenhoff, all needed to get to the high school in Painesdale for class in the morning and return home each evening. According to Copperrange.org, “This special school train was the first and only one in the nation and carried about three hundred children [daily].” It ran until 1942, when transportation was changed to bussing due to cost.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>In 1909, Cora received an honorary Master of Pedagogy (the study of teaching) from Eastern Michigan University. Always aiming to further grow as both a person and as an educator, she then took a sabbatical to the east coast to learn more about physical education. Physical education, sometimes called “rhythmic movement” then, was a new subject area and Cora was extremely interested in bringing its benefits to the students of Adams Township. First, she studied dance and physical education instruction at the impressive Sargant School, which is now part of Boston University. After completing the program in Massachusetts, she continued on to New York and took rhythmic work classes with the ballet of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Upon her return to Painesdale, she soon had the students doing synchronized military drills and calisthenics. For the next four decades in her role as Principal, she would create and teach many physical education classes. In the 1920s she released a P.E. textbook, Rhythmic Work, which was acquired by the state of Michigan to distribute to schools across the state. The book was so successful that “physical education teachers from miles around… came to view and learn from carefully choreographed routines presented by… her students;” these routines included “gymnastics, dance, and precision marching” (Rugani).</image:caption>

      <image:caption>It cannot be overstated how instrumental Cora, along with Fred, was in the suffragist movement in Houghton County and beyond in the Upper Peninsula. Not only was she Chairman of the Houghton County Equal Suffrage Committee, but she and Fred both used their impressive public speaking skills to create hope within as well as educate the citizens of the Copper Country on the women’s right to vote. In 1912 an article in The Calumet News explained that Cora had given a “masterly address” about women’s suffrage at a meeting of the Calumet Women’s Club. Cora told the crowd of women and “one male reporter” that women’s ability to vote was not an option, but a right. She was confident that, like the end of slavery, women gaining the right to vote was inevitable.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Cora Jeffers: A Visionary in Education and Beyond</image:title>
      <image:caption>Fred Jeffers also lent his authority and charisma to the cause. A 1914 article in The Calumet News reports that Fred gave a stirring speech at the Northern Michigan Normal School (later Northern Michigan University) in support of the suffragist movement. He was opposed to the British suffragettes using more militant tactics and told the crowd that their core message is not affected by their comrades’ violent strategies, echoing his speech about the pen being “mightier than the sword” that he had given at the oration contest decades earlier. In 1918, when the men of Houghton County voted in favor of women’s rights to vote, Cora wired the election office in Detroit herself. “Victory for Houghton County!,” she wrote. In 1920, Cora was the first woman in her precinct to register to vote and she “never missed an opportunity to cast her ballot” (Rugani).</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Thanksgiving in the Copper Country - “That Thanksgiving Turkey”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Transcript: “Uncle Sam’s pocketbook bows in homage to the lord of the feast at this season. There are no absolute figures extant showing the vast number of turkeys slaughtered each year for the table, but it is estimated that the last census will show a total of 65,000,000 turkeys raised this year in the United States alone. It is safe to estimate that of these 30,000,000 will be consumed between November 25 and January 1. This amounts to practically one turkey for every three per­sons enumerated on Uncle Sam’s census roll. If these 30,000,000 turkeys were all shipped in one continuous train the cars would extend in one line from New York city to Buffalo. Over $60,000,000 will be spent between now and January 1 for turkeys in the United States. To Benjamin Franklin is credited the sage observation that the turkey instead of the eagle should have been selected as the emblem of the republic. As a matter of fact, it was the emblem of the Roman republic through its career of conquest and the emblem of France in the arrogant days of the Bonapartes. It is still a part of the emblems of Prussia, Austria and Rus­— The turkey was first introduced into Europe by the Spaniards in the sixteenth century. The origin of the name is obscure, but among all parts of the orient were at one time loosely spoken of as Turkey, it is thought that the bird imported from the orient derived its name in this manner. It is generally believed that the red head of the male bird suggested the red cap or “fez” worn by the Turks today.” The Calumet News Wednesday, November 23, 1910 · Page 1</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Thanksgiving in the Copper Country - “Nearly $9000 for Turkey”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Transcript: “According to local meat dealers the Thanksgiving turkey is going to cost local consumers from 28 to 30 cents per pound. This is a matter of about five cents per pound more than was paid for the turkey last year. There seems to be a scarcity, and this will inflate prices. Last year Thanksgiving turkeys sold at from 24 to 25 cents per pound, and other kinds of poultry at proportionate prices. But despite the announcement that turkey will be considerably higher this year, it is believed fully as many pounds of turkey will be sold here as last year. There are fourteen meat markets in Laurium and Red Jacket. It is estimated that these markets will average 2,000 pounds of turkey each for retail purposes. If this average is correct, then at 30 cents per pound, supposing the 28,000 pounds is disposed of, Calumet will pay for its Thanksgiving dinner something like $8,400, not counting other commodities that go to make the holiday feast. Cranberries are reasonable in price in this district, and they seem to be plentiful. They can be purchased at 15 cents per quart or two quarts for 25 cents. Local dealers are stocking up in anticipation of an increased demand for the almost indispensable berry, and a good sale should result.” The Calumet News Wednesday, November 13, 1912 · Page 7</image:caption>

      <image:title>Stories - Thanksgiving in the Copper Country - “No Thanksgiving Dinner for the Poor This Year”</image:title>
      <image:caption>Transcript: “Unless something is done at once, Thanksgiving will be no day of feasting for the poor people of Calumet this year. Inquiry at the office of the Calumet Associated Charities and of officers in charge of the Salvation Army elicited the information that no preparations have been made for the distribution of good things to the poor. Miss Clarice Jones, secretary of the Associated Charities, stated that the Association finds its resources taxed in providing absolute necessities for the poor and even then is unable to meet all of the need. The names of poor families are kept on file however, and any residents desiring to do a private charity may secure information as to those in need. Miss Jones regrets that the association is unable to supply a Thanksgiving dinner for the poor and hopes private individuals will act. The officers of the Salvation Army stated that they are making their usual preparations for a Christmas dinner for the poor but will be unable to provide any good cheer on Thanksgiving day as the Christmas effort is all that can be undertaken.” The Calumet News Saturday, November 23, 1912 · Page 8</image:caption>
