"Gladly given for the cause": New Brunswick Teacher and Student Support for the War Effort, 1914-1918
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This article examines the efforts of New Brunswick’s public school teachers and students to support the First World War. Along with participation in the Teachers’ Machine Gun Fund, they were involved in gendered activities such as Home Efficiency Clubs, Cadet Corps, Military Drill, and the “Soldiers of the Soil” movement. Students—male and female, young and old, Anglophone and Francophone—as well as their teachers, also took part in a variety of fundraising efforts that served to reinforce discipline and inculcate patriotism, meeting the state-sponsored definition of a good citizen. By drawing on archival documents, this article highlights the ways that New Brunswick’s teachers and students were inculcated in voluntarism, patriotism, and militarism as they responded to the demands of the war and contributed “for the cause.” Resume Cet article fait le bilan des efforts des enseignants et des eleves des ecoles publiques du Nouveau-Brunswick pour appuyer l’effort de la Premiere Guerre mondiale.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
