# Edith Young

Edith Young (10 September 1882 – 10 February 1974), was an Irish suffragist organiser and activist.

## Life

Edith Mary O'Connor was born on 10 September 1882 to John O'Connor, a clerk in the Four Courts, and Lizzey Morrissy in Dalkey, County Dublin. Young married Joseph Samuel Young on 25 November 1902. She was a Catholic and he was a Protestant, a mineral-water manufacturer. They married in the Church of Ireland parish church, St George's of Dublin. From then on Young lived in Galway.

## Suffrage activism

Young was involved in various groups from her time in Galway, by 1911 publicly a member of the Irish Women's Franchise League. Her husband was an Urban District Councillor and Young worked to secure supporting resolutions for the 1911 parliamentary conciliation bill. Young's husband spoke in council against the system which allowed women to pay rates but denied them a vote in national elections while any man, rate payer or not, was entitled to one. The local solution was to endorse the women's vote if they qualified through property values of a minimum of £10 and as long as they were not married.
Galway suffragists were considered conservative and middle class which spoke to their preferred solutions despite being mobilized by this typically more militant group. The support died away somewhat when the conciliation bill failed and these more militant suffragists began using illegal methods of activism. Young established a non militant suffragist society in Galway representing the more moderate wing. She was elected president of the Connaught Women's Franchise League, part of the Irish Women's Suffrage Federation. The organisation concentrated on education and propaganda through newspapers and monthly meetings. Young held these in her home. They convinced opposing newspapers to give them regular space for coverage of the issues including papers by the members read at the society meetings. Young often shared the platform with leading English suffragists such as Christabel Pankhurst.

## Other concerns

In 1914 the group protested education bills which included unequal pay for women teachers and did not provide for women inspectors for the girls schools. Young believed in the broader feminist sphere than just working for the vote and worked on the committee for the Women's National Health Association with Lady Aberdeen. Young performed on stage and was known for her involvement in the arts, usually through fund raising and charity work. During the First World War the women's vote took a back seat to supporting the war effort and Young was active in the Galway War Fund Association. She remained a prominent worker for charities and social activism. In 1920 Young became the first woman to be elected as a Poor Law Guardian in the city. She remained in Galway until some years after her husband's death in the 1958.
At that point Young returned to live in Dublin where she died on heart failure in 1974.

# Edmund Moster

Edmund Moster (24 August 1873 – 1942) was a Croatian Jewish entrepreneur, industrialist, inventor and co-founder of the "Penkala-Moster Company" (now TOZ) in Zagreb.

## Biography

Moster was born and raised to a Jewish family of Hinko Moster and Terezija Lederer, with nine siblings in Sveti Ivan Žabno near Križevci. His father was much respected tradesman and steam mill owner in Sveti Ivan Žabno. The Moster family's wealth had been earned by diligence and shrewdness. Moster was married to Klara Breitenstein. In 1911, Moster and his brother Mavro collaborated with Slavoljub Eduard Penkala to open the "Penkala-Moster" pen and pencil company in Zagreb. Moster and his brother owned 66,6% of the company, and Penkala 33,3%. Moster would later open another company, in Berlin, Germany, which was headed by his other brother, Alexander Moster. Moster held 3 patents: improvements in refill lead pencils in 1916, improvements in or relating to paper-board heels for shoes and boots in 1936 and improvements in or relating to bottle closures in 1938. Moster later developed the production of the Winner Records in Croatia. As a Jew, during World War II, Moster was deported and imprisoned at the Jasenovac concentration camp where he was killed in 1942. His brother Bernard was also killed during the Holocaust in 1942, at Rab concentration camp. After the war "Penkala-Moster Company" was nationalised and renamed to "TOZ Company" by the regime of newly established SFR Yugoslavia.
# Edmund Gregory (author)

Edmund Gregory (born c.1616), was an English author.
Gregory was born about 1615, the son of Henry Gregory, rector of, and benefactor to, Sherrington, Wiltshire. He entered Trinity College, Oxford, in 1632, and proceeded B.A. on 5 May 1636. He wrote: An Historical Anatomy of Christian Melancholy, sympathetically set forth, in a threefold state of the soul. With a concluding Meditation on the Fourth Verse of the Ninth Chapter of St. John, London, 1646. To this work is prefixed a portrait of the author in his thirty-first year, engraved by W. Marshall. As he is not depicted in the habit of a clergyman of the church of England, Wood is probably wrong in his conjecture that he was episcopally ordained.
He is not the Edmund Gregory, resident of Cuxham, Oxfordshire, and described as an "esquire", and who died at Walton-on-Thames, Surrey, in 1691; who was a graduate of Merton College, Oxford.
# Aachener Bachverein

Aachener Bachverein (often abbreviated as ABV) is a German oratorio choir of the Evangelical Church in the Rhineland in the city of Aachen that was founded in 1913 by Heinrich Boell. Although the chorus sings a varied repertoire that encompasses music from all historical periods to new compositions, the ensemble is particularly known for their historically informed performances of baroque and classical period music that are often made in conjunction with internationally renowned instrumental ensembles and orchestras. The choir frequently tours, has had several of their performances broadcast on German radio, and has recorded a number of cantatas by J.S. Bach.

# Eduardo Sánchez de Fuentes

Eduardo Sánchez de Fuentes (3 April 1874, in Havana – 7 September 1944) was a Cuban composer, and an author of books on the history of Cuban folk music.
The outstanding habanera Tú, written when he was sixteen, was his best-known composition. As an adult, he composed the scores for the opera Yumurí, the ballet Dioné, the oratorio Navidad and the cantata Anacaona.
His writings are still charming and informative today, though their standing has suffered from an accurate criticism by later musicologists. They realized that he had systematically underestimated the contribution of the Africans in Cuba. He insisted, instead, on the supposed contribution of Cuba's original aboriginal population, which was subsequently disproved.
    "It is a shame that a succession of errors should have spoilt the greatest work of a man who had carried his musicianship for almost half a century with rare dignity. Because in the end...Sanchez de Fuentes will remain, above all, a composer of habaneras and songs. In a hundred years his Cuban melodies will occupy a place of honor in our traditions..."

# Edward A. Krug

Edward A. Krug (September 26, 1911 – July 30, 1979) was the University of Wisconsin–Madison's first Virgil E. Herrick Professor of Educational Policy Studies.
Krug attended Northwestern University, receiving a B.A. in 1933 and M.A. in 1934. He then taught social studies at Evanston Township High School until 1938. In 1941, he received his Ph.D. from Stanford University thereafter accepting a temporary appointment as assistant professor. In 1943, he became a visiting assistant professor at [the University of Montana (www.umt.edu/)]. In 1945, Krug became the Wisconsin State Curriculum Coordinator and held a concurrent position as Associate Professor of Education at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. In 1947, he returned to Stanford as an associate professor, but returned to Madison the next year.
Krug's early works dealt with US social life. Beginning in 1950, Krug began a long publishing career on the history of US education. In 1950 he published Curriculum Planning and, a decade later, Secondary School Curriculum. He also wrote Charles W. Eliot and Popular Education (1961) and Salient Dates in American Education (1966). He collaborated on Schools and Our Democratic Society (1952), Multzple-Period Organization in Wisconsin Secondary Schools (1952), Administering Curriculum Planning (1957) and The College-Preparatory Function in Wisconsin High Schools (1959).
His legacy, though, was established by a two-volume study of the American high school, The Shaping of the American High School (vol. 1, 1964; vol. 2 1971). This text is recognized as the standard history of this institution.
