THE NEW YORK TIMES, May 19, 1927 

* Bath, Michigan school explosion disaster 

The front page has a two column headline: "MANIAC BLOWS UP SCHOOL KILLS 38, MOSTLY CHILDREN; HAD PROTESTED HIGH TAXES" with subheads that include: "33 Pupils Among Victims" "Children Pinned in Debris" and more. (see) Lengthy report continues on page 2. First report coverage on Bath, Michigan school disaster. Always nice to have notable events in history reported in this World famous publication.
Other news, sports and advertisements of the day. Complete in 56 pages, this is the rare rag edition that was produced on very high quality newsprint, with a high percentage of cotton & linen content, allowing the issues to remain very white & sturdy into the present. Given the subscription cost, libraries & institutions rather than individuals were the primary subscribers of these high-quality editions. a few binding slits along the spine, nice condition.
