This is disputed re: Orphan status. Needs a photograph. Robco311 15:15, 23 April 2015 (UTC)

Think I know what she looked like, in most of the class pic, round eyeglasses, teacher type at the back of the classes, usually centered.

need for an editor with tools access to look at a orphan

Louise Leonard McLaren needs a page patrol to relieve it of orphan status, can you help?

Thanks

Mary C. Barker had an archive at emory university that yeilded every thing on the southern school but a photo of Louise. I would remove the orphan designation myself but IDK, is that allowed, for the editor of an article to remove such templates?

The orphan tag refers to the number of other articles that link to Louise Leonard McLaren, not the quality of the article itself. Currently, the only incoming link is Columbia University. Are there other articles where it would make sense to mention McLaren?

And yes, any editor is free to remove tags that no longer apply at any time. --ThaddeusB (talk) 21:00, 25 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for getting back to me, I think there are other links in the article that make this notable. Hilda Worthington Smith pioneered 'Workers' Education' at Bryn Mawr in 1921 and after the FDR administration declined to add dollars to the She-She-She camps in 37', instead putting the money into high school students; she was given the Workers education service, which the administration saw the value of. This was her goal and she ran with it. So the link to HWS pays off with the title of Workers' Education, which links the two, along with Affiliated Schools for Workers (1927–1939), HWS had integrated the summer schools up north, this wasn't possible down south at the time and those were the schools LLM did in the mountains of Appalachia. Remember, the big bugaboo back then was poor people mascarading as 'commies' and demanding handouts. HWS ran a soup kitchen in NYC after initiating night classes for the black gardeners and kitchen staff at Bryn Mawn and she had strong ideas, but for a woman, putting these ideas out was just carrying a sign that said "Troskyite!!" Workers' Education, if you read the life philosophy of HWS, wasn't a socialist issue, it was a women's rights issue, but at the time it was labeled in the media as socialist, leftist, pinko or any of the sobriquets they choose to tag it with back then because it was a women's issue.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Workers%27_Education_Bureau_of_America, 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hilda_Worthington_Smith, Contemporary Adult Labor Education Journal and teacher 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Labor_Forum and the whole labor movement of the Workers educational bureau of the CIO, now known as the AFL-CIO.

I didn't know how to add the references into the story but they are all there, did I miss something... Wait, maybe I did the edits after... HWS is the catalyst behind worker' education, which the unions backed and is the basis for unionism today.

Also, HWS remained a lifelong friend of Eleanor Roosevelt, who used Heartsease (The Hudson school across the river FDR's compound) from to announce policy to the press on many occasions, her friends, by default, also were a part of Eleanor's entourage whenever she was in their neck of the woods... — Preceding unsigned comment added by BeeCeePhoto (talk • contribs) 02:45, 26 April 2015 (UTC)
