BIOGRAPHY

Writer, educator, social worker, and fundraiser, Ida Pruitt was born in Tengchow, Shantung Province, China, on December 2, 1888, the daughter of Cicero Washington and Anna (Seward) Pruitt. Her father, C. W. Pruitt (CWP), was born in Barrettsville, Georgia , on January 31, 1857, the son of John Wesley and Hannah (Rodgers) Pruitt . He was ordained as a Southern Baptist minister at the age of 14 and began his evangelical work by preaching to Native Americans in Georgia. Later he attended the Southern Baptist Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky . In January 1882, he traveled to China as a missionary and was stationed in Hwanghsien where he met his first wife, Ida Tiffany ; she died two years later.
Her mother, Anna (Seward) Pruitt (ASP), was born in Tallmadge, Ohio , on May 16, 1862, the daughter of John Woodhouse and Urania (Ashley) Seward . She traveled west in the early 1880s to teach school in Ojai, California ; her letters about the trip were later published in the California Historical Quarterly (1937-1938). At the end of the decade, ASP decided to travel to China as a Presbyterian missionary and settled in Hwanghsien where she met CWP. They married on February 16, 1888, and had six children: Ida (1888-1985), John (1890-1912), Ashley (1892-1898), Virginia (died in infancy, 1894), Robert (1897-1961), and Dudley McConnell "Mac" (1902-1967). While stationed in Hwanghsien, the children attended school at the China Inland Mission in Chefoo . ASP began a missionary school, and by 1904 CWP had organized the Baptist Theological Seminary for Central China . ASP wrote two books about missionary life in China: The Day of Small Things (Foreign Mission Board, Southern Baptist Convention, 1929) and Up from Zero: In North China (Broadman Press, 1939). After CWP retired in 1936, they returned to the United States and settled in Atlanta where he became the dean of the Baptist Foreign Missions of North America . CWP died on December 27, 1946; ASP, on June 20, 1948.
After attending Cox College in College Park, Georgia (1906-1909), Ida Pruitt (IP) received a B.S. from Columbia University Teachers' College in New York (1910). When her brother John died, IP returned to China to be with her family and became a teacher and principal of Wai Ling School for Girls in Chefoo (1912-1918). In 1918, she came back to the United States and studied social work in Boston and Philadelphia until hired by the Rockefeller Foundation in New York as head of the Department of Social Services at the Peking Union Medical College (PUMC) where she remained until 1938.
While living in Beijing IP adopted two girls, one Chinese, Kueiching [Kwei-ching], the other a Russian refugee, Tania Manooiloff. They were educated in English schools in China, then sent to the United States. Kueiching married Tommy Ho, a radiologist from Canada , in 1940; they settled in Saskatchewan, Canada , and had two children: Timmy and Nancy. Her other daughter, Tania Manooiloff , taught Russian at Swarthmore College . She married Cornelius "Cornie" Cosman , a meteorologist who worked for the US Department of Commerce and served on the Indusco Technical Committee; they had two children: Katia and Hugh. After Cosman's death, she married Mr. Wahl.
During the Japanese occupation of China (1937-1945), IP assisted Rewi Alley (RA) as he organized the Chinese Industrial Cooperatives (CIC; for more information about RA see section on Rewi Alley following). The CIC was formed to organize cooperative factories throughout the countryside to support China's industry. Schools were built to train the Chinese (often crippled or orphaned) to work in and manage the factories. Indusco, the fundraising arm of the CIC in the United States, was formed, and IP served as its executive secretary from 1939 to 1951. In 1946 IP rented an apartment with Maud Russell on West 93rd Street in New York City and remained there until 1951 when she retired and moved to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to be closer to Alan and Adele Rickett, friends from China.
A keen observer and student of Chinese history, society, and paleo-anthropology , IP was a prolific writer and the author of a number of books, stories, and articles, including several autobiographies ( A China Childhood (1978), The Years Between , and Days in Old Peking: May 1921-October 1938 ) and several biographies ( Daughter of Han: The Autobiography of a Chinese Working Woman (1945, 1967), Old Madame Yin: A Memoir of Peking Life, 1926-1938 (1979), and Tales of Old China ). She also translated and edited many works, including Yellow Storm by Lao She (1951), The Flight of an Empress by Wu Yung (1936), Little Bride by Wang Yung, and Beyond China's City Walls by George A. Hogg, et al.
In addition to her writing, IP filled her retirement years with travel, talks, and political activism. She returned to China twice (1959, 1972) despite a State Department ban and remained a strong proponent for U.S.-China relations throughout her life. IP died on July 24, 1985, in Philadelphia.
Brief chronology of the life of Ida Pruitt:

Chronology

OTHER PRUITT FAMILY
John Pruitt studied at Mercer College in Georgia and then worked in Ohio, where he contracted typhoid and died. Robert Pruitt, who, at age ten, was accidentally blinded, attended the University of Pennsylvania (A.B., 1920) and Harvard University (M.A., 1921). He returned to China in 1921, and his fiancée Evelina Rometsch joined him in 1922.

REWI ALLEY
Named for a Maori chieftain, Rewi Alley (RA), Indusco's China representative, was born December 2, 1897, in Springfield, Canterbury, New Zealand. His parents were both activists; his father in the rural cooperative movement and his mother for women's suffrage. In 1916, he enlisted and fought with the New Zealand Expeditionary Force (ANZACS) in France. At the end of the war, he and a friend bought a farm together; when this failed, RA sold out and headed for China.
Arriving in Shanghai in 1927, during the Kuomintang revolution , he was hired by the Shanghai Municipal Council as factory inspector of the Shanghai Fire Brigade (1927-1933), then as chief factory inspector of the council's Industrial Department (1933-1938). In 1929, and again in 1932, he took extended vacations in the Suiyuan Province helping the China International Famine Relief Commission . Many of his later vacations were also spent in various relief works in the countryside.
A year after the Japanese invasion in 1937, Helen Snow [ Nym Wales ] and Edgar Snow enlisted RA's help in planning a nationwide movement to organize thousands of cooperative factories in the countryside. RA became the field secretary for the Gung Ho movement as it was known in China, with Madame Song Quingling [Soong Ching-ling] its leader.
By 1942, RA began setting up schools that were named after his friend Joseph Bailie (an American missionary) to train Chinese youth in the skills needed to manage and work in the new factories. The first one was established at Shuangshipu, Shaanxi Province. RA appointed George Aylwin Hogg as an instructor. In 1944, with the Japanese advancing closer, RA and Hogg moved the school to Shandan, Gansu Province, and renamed it the Shandan Bailie school. Hogg became the president of the school until his unexpected death in 1945; thereafter RA ran the school.
During his time in China, RA traveled extensively and was a prolific writer, capturing in poetry the events and the people. He never married but adopted two Chinese orphans, Alan and Michael, in 1929 and 1932 respectively. RA died in Beijing on December 27, 1987.
TALITHA A. GERLACH
Talitha A. Gerlach (TAG) was born in 1896. She met Ida Pruitt in China while working for PUMC. TAG worked for many years for the International Committee, which coordinated overseas fundraising for the CIC movement in China, and headed the China Welfare Appeal. She remained in China for most of her life.

SCOPE AND CONTENT

This collection consists primarily of the papers of Anna (Seward) Pruitt and Ida Pruitt, the correspondence and writings of Rewi Alley, and the papers of Talitha Gerlach. There are also photographs from ASP, IP, and RA.
The collection is divided into nine series.
The original filing system was created by IP and Marjorie King (MK), a researcher who had written her dissertation on IP and ASP and had the use of the collection for several years before it was given to the library, and her graduate assistants. The processor has created the series and folder arrangement, but folder headings and contents are as originally received, unless otherwise stated. Loose material was refoldered and incorporated into the arrangement. Folder headings created by the processor are in brackets. Also in brackets is the Pinyin form of Chinese terms that may appear in earlier romanization systems as well as alternate versions of names.
Notes by MK found on folders or individual items referring to IP's previous organization or the identification of individuals or documents have been retained; a notation has been made in the folder heading: "note by researcher (MK)." Often the notes are unattributed and a question mark is used: "note by researcher (MK?)." One group of IP's papers worth mention are those marked "from 'worthwhiles' envelope." MK and her assistants dispersed these papers based on their subject. The processor left them in their current physical locations and made a notation in the folder heading to signify IP's original organization and importance of these materials.
There is some overlap in the collection. While IP's correspondence is mainly in Series III, it can be found throughout the collection, with significant portions in Series IV, VII, and VIII. Where possible, correspondents are pointed out in the folder headings. Material regarding Chinese cooperatives can be found in Series IV, VII, and VIII. Photographs found filed together in separate cartons have been placed together in Series IX; there are photographs scattered throughout the collection as well. Items in Chinese were identified and/or dated by members of the Schlesinger's Chinese-American Oral History Project Chinese-American Oral History Project and by Yan Xu, a Harvard student working at the Library.
Series I , Early family records (#1-95), is divided into two main sections: the papers of C.W. Pruitt and those of Anna (Seward) Pruitt. CWP's papers include autobiographies, a diary, wills, obituaries, writings, etc. The bulk of this series contains ASP's papers, including biographical sketches, scrapbooks of their life in China and family in Ohio, outgoing letters (1891-1949), diaries, writings, etc. The series also contains some miscellaneous files relating to genealogical material on the Pruitt and Seward families and papers of other family members.
Series II, Biographical and personal (#96-350), is divided into two sections. The Biographical section (#96-129) contains biographical sketches, an obituary, death mask, a biography about IP by John Russell based on interviews (# 108-120), FBI files, etc. The Personal section (#130v-349) revolves mainly around IP's notebooks and travels. Also in this section are a few diaries, booklists and orders, IP's memberships, address and appointment books , her financial and medical records, a collection of Chinese papercuts, etc.
Her extensive run of notebooks (1932-1973) contain lectures, appointments, reflections, notes on family, and readings, etc. Most of the notebooks in the collection were written front to back and then turned over and completed from back to front. IP's travels cover two trips she took to China (1959, 1972). Her 1959 trip was made primarily to see what was happening with the development of the CICs and the changes in Chinese society under communism. She visited and took extensive notes of her observations of kindergartens, hospitals, schools, prisons, collectives, factories, museums, opera, theatre, tombs, temples, archeological sites, housing projects, etc.
Series III, Correspondence (#351-697), is divided into two sections: Personal correspondence and "ICO" correspondence. The Personal correspondence section (#351-432) was created by the processor from folders and letters found loose throughout the collection and has been arranged chronologically. It contains correspondence primarily with family and friends, a series of "special letters" (IP's designation), and Christmas and birthday cards. The "ICO" correspondence (#433-689) is a group that was found together in one alphabetical arrangement. Most of the folders in this alphabetical group were identified as "ICO" - possibly for the International Committee Office. This section contains both personal and business correspondence. The largest family series in the ICO section belongs to IP's adopted daughter, Kueiching Ho, and includes a letter discussing Kueiching's view of her childhood as depicted in A China Childhood (#537).
Series IV, Professional work, activities, etc. (#698-1027), is divided into six main sections: Peking Union Medical College (PUMC); Indusco years; Shanghai Refugee Research Association (SRR); Speeches and talks; Teaching and classes; and Politics, activities, etc. Most of the material in this series is arranged chronologically. PUMC material (#669-746) includes articles, case notes and files, correspondence, notes for later writings, stories re: refugees, etc.
The Indusco years section (#747-913) contains large clumps that relate to the Shandan Bailie School and the Gung Ho movement. Included are correspondence (some re: personnel difficulties within the CIC), memos, minutes, reports, printed matter, FBI files re: Indusco, etc.
SRR papers (#914-922) contain abstracts of documents, articles, correspondence, notes, reports, and include letters requesting Tania Cosman's removal to the United States for safety and lists of IP's belongings. Speeches and talks (#923-953) are primarily about Indusco, China, women in China, etc. This section includes correspondence, clippings, flyers, etc. The largest group is about the difference in definitions of "sin" and "guilt" in China and the United States. Teaching and classes (#955-964) is a small section primarily about anthropology and archaeology courses, but also about writing and women in China. It contains correspondence, notes, course descriptions, syllabi, etc. The last section, Politics, activities, etc. (#965-1026) mainly covers IP's activities after her retirement from Indusco, and contains correspondence, flyers, mailings, papers, etc.
Series V, Writings by IP (#1028-1325), is divided roughly in half between Autobiographical writings and Biographical writings, with two smaller sections, Fiction and Essays, at the end. Most of IP's writing took place either in the 1920s and '30s while she was living in Beijing, or in the 1960s and '70s after she retired. During this second period, IP often wrote on the back of mailings, old letters and memos, flyers, etc. Not all of her works were identified by IP; unidentified works have been put with like material by the processor. IP also used several working titles for some projects.
In Autobiographical writings (#1028-1223), the works are arranged chronologically by time of events covered, although there is some overlap between them. This section contains various drafts of her memoirs, notes by IP, correspondence with publishers and friends, and publicity. The first work, A China Childhood (San Francisco: Chinese Materials Center, Inc., with foreword by John K. Fairbank, 1978), covers Pruitt's life from 1888 to about 1900 when the family left China during the Boxer Rebellion; Years Between spans from 1900 to the early 1920s; and Days in Old Peking: May 1921 to October 1938 chronicles Pruitt's experiences and observations living in Beijing and working at PUMC, and ends with her introduction to Rewi Alley and the Chinese Industrial Cooperative movement.
Her Biographical writings (#1224-1283) are arranged by title and include drafts of stories, notes by IP, publisher correspondence, and publicity. They include: A Daughter of Han: The Autobiography of a Chinese Working Woman (New Haven: Yale University Press, 1945; Stanford University Press, 1967), Old Madame Yin: A Memoir of Peking Life, 1926-1938 (Stanford University Press, 1979; this material was originally conceived of as part of Tales of Old China, but was separately published), and Tales from Old China. The Fiction section (#1285-1307) is arranged alphabetically by title. The designation "fiction" was taken from the original folder headings and based on notes by MK. The last section, Essays (#1308-1324), is also arranged alphabetically.
Series VI, Writings by others (#1326-1450), is divided into two sections: IP as translator and IP as editor or agent. The folders in this series contain drafts of translations, some originals (in Chinese), correspondence with authors, friends, and publishers, IP's notes, etc. The first section, the translations (#1326-1431), is arranged alphabetically by author; works with unknown authors are placed at the end. These include Yellow Storm by Lao She (Harcourt Brace, 1951), Fifth Watch by I-mei "Amy" Ssutu [Yimei Feng], various works by Yuan Ssutu [Situ], Little Bride by Wang Yung, Flight of an Empress by Wu Yung (Faber and Faber, 1936), etc. The second, with IP as editor or agent (#1432-1449), is arranged alphabetically by author as well, and includes George Hogg's Beyond China's City Walls, works by Feng Ching, George Leung, et al.
Series VII, Rewi Alley Papers (#1451-1572), is divided into three main sections: Biographical and personal, Correspondence, and Writings. Biographical and personal (#1451-1465) contains biographical sketches, a play re: RA, clippings, diaries, etc. Correspondence (#1466-1516), arranged chronologically, is primarily with IP and covers wide ranging topics including CIC, writing, friends, memories, politics, archaeology, mythology, readings, health, and growing old. Most folders include poems written by RA, lists of "printed matter received from IP," and book subscriptions.
RA's writings are further broken down into two sub-sections: Poems (#1517-1539) and Essays and books (#1540-1570). The poems describe RA's travels, thoughts on events and people, his work, etc. His essays and books (IP acted often as his editor and agent) include A Highway and the Old Chinese Doctor, One World Long Ago, and The Pig, the Fish, and the Boy: Three Fertility Symbols, etc.
Series VIII, Talitha A. Gerlach files (#1573-1645), was found organized in a separate series and identified as the "TAG files." They are divided into two main sections: CIC and Correspondence. CIC papers (#1573-1609) are arranged chronologically and contain reports, memos, minutes, correspondence, etc.; most are annotated by TAG. Correspondence (#1610-1639) contains letters to IP, but also some with Gertrude Grimes, RA, and various Gerlach family members. The series also contains book request files, financial papers, etc.
Series IX, Photographs (#1646-1965), is divided into three main sections: Early family photographs, IP's photographs, and Rewi Alley's photographs. The Early family photographs (#1646-1709a) were collected primarily by ASP and range from c.1850 to c.1940. There are daguerreotypes and ambrotypes, a large range of family snapshots and portraits, group portraits of missionaries, school groups in China, and everyday scenes in China. There are numerous photographs of the Pruitt's extensive family, and groups of both Anglo and Chinese friends. Many of the pictures of Chinese life are in several family albums and include the family's Sung Kiatan home and the primary school in Hwanghsien. There are also pictures of grave sites, beggars, city scenes, and wedding processions. Also of note are several group photographs of Chinese Christian and bible students.
IP's photographs (#1710-1942) are divided into Portraits of IP; Family photographs (Kueiching Ho's family is the largest group); Friends (arranged in three main groups: alphabetical, Chinese friends, and unidentified arranged by subject; and include a few of IP at school in Georgia); a group of subjects loosely paralleling her autobiography, Days in Old Peking: IP's home in Beijing (family, friends, servants, etc.), Beijing (places and treks in and around Beijing, funerals, etc.), People (arranged by subject: beggars, children, working, etc.), Work (PUMC: patients, staff, building; Refugees: women, children; relief work; CIC/Indusco: cooperatives, children, workers, buildings, etc.); Travel while in China (treks are divided into two groups: identified sites, arranged alphabetically; and unidentified, arranged by subject: city scenes, industrial sites, ruins, etc.); Return trips to China (1959-1960 and 1972 trips: schools, CICs, friends, hospitals, etc.); and Events and people in the U.S. (post 1940; includes anti-war protests). Most of IP's photographs were not identified and found arranged by size in a variety of enclosures (envelopes, 4-flap boxes, etc.); some attempt has been made to identify where possible and to organize by place or into broad topics.
The last section in this series, RA's photographs (1943-1965), contains photographs, slides, films, negatives, etc., of cooperatives, children, RA and friends (including George Hatem), RA receiving acupuncture treatment, and illustrations for his books that were sent to IP over a period of years.

Related Material

Papers of IP housed in other repositories include IP's papers re: the Chinese Industrial Cooperatives at the Special Collections at Columbia University and three folders of Ida's correspondence (1938-1952, undated) in the Maud Russell collection at the New York Public Library. The latter contains correspondence that IP left in the apartment when she moved to Philadelphia. They include letters of "introduction that Pruitt brought with her to the U.S. when she left Beijing in 1938, Indusco-related correspondence, and letters from her mother, Anna Seward Pruitt." Some related material can be found at the Rockefeller Archive Center in New York, which has records of the Peking Union Medical College and the China Medical Board (other records there relating to IP are in the Foreign Mission Fund and the Department of Religious and Social Work).
