Lucy Sprague Mitchell
Lucy Sprague Mitchell (2 July 1878 – 15 October 1967) was an American educator and the founder of Bank Street College of Education.
Mitchell attended Radcliffe College from 1896 to 1900, graduating with honors in philosophy.
During her time at Radcliffe College, Mitchell lived with Alice Freeman Palmer and George Herbert Palmer on Quincy Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Because of the college's strict codes of gender segregation at the time, Mitchell had to circumvent the all-male Harvard Yard in order to reach Harvard University's Museum of Comparative Zoology, where she worked in the Radcliffe Zoological Laboratory.
Mitchell was the first dean of women at the University of California at Berkeley, where she lectured in the English Department and promoted educational and career opportunities for women students from 1903–1912.
In 1916, influenced by the work of John Dewey, Mitchell founded the Bureau of Educational Experiments (BEE) in New York City to study and develop optimal learning environments for children.
The BEE evolved into the Bank Street College of Education.
Alain Lance
Alain Lance( born in Bonsecours, 18 December 1939) is a French writer and translator.
He has been acknowledged for his translations of German authors into French: Volker Braun, Franz Fühmann, Ingo Schulze and Christa Wolf.
He lives in Paris.
Sagar Mitchell
Sagar Jones Mitchell( 28 October 1866 – 2 October 1952) was a pioneer of cinematography in Blackburn, Lancashire, England.
The son of John and Eliza Mitchell, he was educated at a private academy and apprenticed as a cabinet maker.
In 1887 Sagar and his father John founded the firm of S.& J. Mitchell, a photographic apparatus manufacturing and dealing business.
Although associated in partnership with James Kenyon since 1897 little is known of their film production until 1899.
The success of their early films encouraged Mitchell to give up his shop and in September 1901 Mitchell and Kenyon moved into premises in Clayton Street, Blackburn, to concentrate on film production.
Mitchell and Kenyon used the trade name of" Norden", the company became one of the largest film producers in the United Kingdom in the 1900s, producing a mixture of" topicals"( films of street scenes, sporting events, rides through towns on the top of trams, and ordinary life, which were extremely popular as people loved to see moving pictures of themselves), fiction, and fake war films.
Many of these films were produced for travelling showmen.
In May 1907 Sagar Mitchell resumed possession of his original business S.& J. Mitchell, at 40 Northgate, Blackburn.
The volume of film production seems to have tailed off from this date, and from 1909 was increasingly restricted to local events.
The last surviving film dates from 1913.
Mitchell was joined in his business by his son John in 1921.
His partnership with Kenyon was formally dissolved around 1922 and Kenyon died in 1925.
Mitchell carefully stored the film negatives away in the basement of his shop.
He lived to the age of 85, and died on 2 October 1952.
John continued to run the business until he retired in 1960.
Over the years film historians had traditionally regarded Mitchell and Kenyon as minor contributors to film history, known principally for the fake Boer War films that had survived.
Then in 1994, during building alteration work at the premises in Northgate, three large sealed steel drums were discovered in the basement.
On examination, the drums were discovered to contain the original nitrate negatives of 800 Mitchell and Kenyon films in a remarkably good state of preservation.
These eventually found their way in 2000 to the National Film and Television Archive, where they extended the holdings of films of the 1900- 1913 period by 20%, giving a new and fresh view of Edwardian England and an important resource for historians.
A further 65 fiction films are preserved in The Cinema Museum, London.
The survival of these films has allowed Mitchell and Kenyon's place in English film history to be reappraised.
In 2014" The Life and Times of Mitchell and Kenyon" was produced at The Dukes, Lancaster and the Oldham Coliseum, with video elements by imitating the dog.

Harriet Merrill Johnson
Harriet Merrill Johnson( born 1886 in Bangor, Maine), graduated from the Massachusetts Homeopathic Hospital and began working as a district nurse at the Henry Street Settlement.
While working as a district nurse, Johnson became interested in the needs of children.
She, Lucy Sprague Mitchell, and Caroline Pratt formed the Bureau of Education Experiments in 1916, now known as Bank Street College of Education.
Their aim was to bring various specialists and researchers together for the purposes of studying experimental education.
Johnson was the founder and first director of the bureau's nursery school, which was later named in her honor.
This nursery school was the direct predecessor to Bank Street's School for Children, a private elementary school operating under the college's umbrella.
Johnson was the author of several texts on education:
Harriet Johnson Nursery School
The Harriet Johnson Nursery School opened in 1918 at the Bureau's new quarters in a series of houses on West 12th and West 13th Street.
The staff included teachers, psychologists and researchers who worked to discover the environments in which children grew and learned to their full potential.
The staff observed how children learned, and they began documenting the learning process in order to determine the environments and educational practices best suited to foster the growth and development of children.
Their findings contributed to a fundamental reform in the way children were taught.
Graduates from Johnson's Nursery school went to Caroline Pratt's City and Country School.
The nursery school also educated teachers and others on how to create these environments.
Children at Johnson's Nursery school were given opportunities to draw, paint and model in clay.
These were unusual forms of expression in schools at this time.
A child's education was recognized as something other than prescribed curriculum.
The children here and at Caroline Pratt's City and Country School, under the support of the Bureau, had all of New York City as their classroom.
They were able to ride ferries, visit zoos and look at bridges.
