This addition to MSS 16758, the University of Virginia Collection on the History of Childhood, Parenting, and Family Building, contains a 9.5" x 6.5" wooden puzzle with a wooden frame and a glass window titled the Silver Bullet: Or the Road to Berlin.

Original metal ball and elements intact. Directions on the verso of the game. British dexterity puzzle for a juvenile audience, made of wood and glass. The game's object is maneuvering a metal ball through a winding course, avoiding holes, to the Berlin area. Although the topography of the play suggests the trenches of the Western Front, at the time of the game's creation, the troops had not "dug in." The title, Silver Bullet, suggests a quick victory and supports the view that the British public believed the war would be over by Christmas 1914.

This addition to MSS 16758, The University of Virginia Collection on the History of Childhood, Parenting, and Family Building, contains two items relating to scouting. The first is a broadside printing of the ten Girl Scout laws set among art nouveau illustrations from the 1930s. The second is a photo album compiled by a boy at Kerrville, Texas, with images of playing in the streets, swimming in the Guadalupe River, playing baseball, hiking, marching, and being at a local Boy Scout camp. The black cloth photo album contains fifty-two black and white photos, measuring 10 x 7 cm, with a caption on the album leaves.

There is a photograph of an African American man. (Caption reads, "Uncle Allen").

African Americans were often referred to as Uncle or Aunt even though they were not a family relative.They were denied use of courtesy titles."Aunt," as in "Aunt Jemima," was the term used for older enslaved women in the South who were not allowed by their white owners to use the term Mrs or Miss. The same was true for Uncle, as in Uncle Ben's Converted Rice. Uncle was used for older enslaved men because they were not allowed by their white owners to use the term Mr. The African American in this photograph is referred to as "Uncle Allen." It is important to recognize the use of these terms and confront the racism that is embedded in these white cultural terms.

MSS 16758, The University of Virginia Collection on the History of Childhood, Parenting, and Family Building Addition 8, Albert and Shirley Small Special Collections Library, University of Virginia Library.

Addition 8 of MSS 16758,The University of Virginia Collection on the History of Childhood, Parenting, and Family Building, contains a signed broadside print (11 X 8.5 inches) titled "My Life Matters" by the artist and muralist LMNOPI.

The signed print based on muralist LMNOPI's wheat-pasted street art, is originally produced in response to the Ferguson protests. Artist LMNOPI writes: "This painting was inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement which originated in Ferguson, Missouri last year in response to the police murder of Mike Brown. I have been doing a series of street paste ups around this movement."

LMNOPI found this image of a young protestor online, eventually identifying the child as a boy named Myles. The image of Myles warily clutching his protest sign (#DontShoot #Ferguson #YourLifeMatters), pasted up on the door of an a condemned factory in Bedford-Stuyvesant, became part of the community: "The wheatpaste of Myles was much loved by local residents. Often I would observe people taking photos of it on their way to work. I saw many people post it on Instagram. It even survived a local graffiti bomb squad who came through last winter during a snowstorm. They tagged up the entire wall, but did not touch Myles."

A small pocket mounted inside the back board holds five cards printed with Samuel Rogers' poem "To the butterfly." The pocket is stamped with "Address to the butterfly, Samuel Rogers."
