Infant schools have changed little in their objectives and guides since then. They were established in Britain to teach children between the ages of three and six, and while this is now five to seven years, the basic premise that the schools should 'amuse, interest and instruct' has little changed. When established it was realised that elementary instruction should be simple, pleasing and as much as possible imparted by means of models, pictures and singing. Research Infant School
The Oberlin-Wellington Case was an American criminal case which occurred in 1858. A negro named John Rice was captured near Wellington, Ohio, by Kentucky kidnappers. An Oberlin College student gave the alarm, and the kidnappers were pursued by a large crowd, who rescued the negro. For this infraction of the law thirty-seven citizens of Oberlin and Wellington were indicted. During the progress of the case the greatest excitement prevailed over the entire country, however no severe penalties were imposed upon the offenders. Research Oberlin-Wellington Case
Oberlin College is a privately controlled non-denominational institution of higher learning, in Oberlin, Ohio. It was founded in 1833, and known as Oberlin Collegiate Institute until 1850, when its present name was adopted. Oberlin was the first co-educational college in the USA. Two years after its founding the college admitted students 'without respect to color', becoming the first American college to do so; before the American Civil War it was known as a centre for anti-slavery activities. Charles Grandison Finney, professor of theology and president of Oberlin from 1851 to 1866, first promulgated at the college his doctrine of evangelical Calvinism known as OberlinTheology. Oberlin has two divisions: the College of Arts and Sciences and the Conservatory of Music. The college awards the bachelor of arts degree in the humanities and the natural and social sciences; the master's degree in art history is also granted. The conservatory awards the bachelor of music, as well as master's degrees in conducting, music education, opera theatre, performance on historical instruments, and teaching. Research Oberlin College
