MKI AnnotationFrancis W. Parker School, 330 Webster Avenue, Chicago, U. S. A. --- "Eine Zeitschrift für Schule und Haus besonders für Schüler auf unseren höheren Schulen" (Nov. 1910) --- Title page verso: "Aus Nah und Fern is the only publication in existence for American students of German."

Nov. 1910 issue includes "Brief aus Kalifornien," by Adele Meyer, Polytechnic High School, Los Angeles. [Adele Meyer was born in Pyrmont, Germany, Aug. 16, 1873, presumably while her parents were visiting her father’s relatives in Germany (her siblings Emma and Charles were born in the United States). She went to Sunday school in the Church of the Unity, a Unitarian church in St. Louis. Her mother moved the family to Coronado, Calif., around 1892, probably after her father died.

She received her A. B. in German at Stanford in 1907. When she moved to Los Angeles, she became part of the Unitarian church there, and was Superintendent of the Sunday school by 1909 (The Pacific Unitarian, vol. 18, no. 3, Nov., 1909).

After graduating from Stanford, she taught German at the Polytechnic High School in Los Angeles from 1908-1912. Adele went to study at Columbia around 1912. She married Irving Erastus Outcault on June 25, 1914; he was a Stanford graduate (1896). They settled in San Diego, and she was the first principal of the Francis Parker School in San Diego, from 1914-1920. She died Aug. 28, 1964.]

Also in the Nov. 1910 issue: "Alt Heidelberg" by Friedrich A. Hamann, Milwaukee, Wis., South Division High School. [Friedrich Hamann was an alumni of the University of Wisconsin in 1908; he lived at 1139 Eighth St in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. He was a teacher of German, a tenor singer, and photographer.]
