Michigan History for Kids magazine

May/June 2015, Volume 1, Number 2

Grade Levels: 3 – 4

Overview:

Students will use advertisements as a primary source to learn about the mineral baths in Mount

Clemens. They will create an advertisement for a mineral bath in Mount Clemens.

Materials: 1. “Henry Lightbourne: Bath House Owner” and “The Doctor Said Take a Bath!” articles

2. Advertisement Set

3. Advertisement Talking Points

4. Optional: Current, age-appropriate advertisements

Lesson Objectives: 1. Students will use primary sources to discuss the use of mineral baths in Mount Clemens.

2. Students will explain how people used the mineral water from Mount Clemens to help

people and make money.

Standards: 1. 3 – H3.0.2 Explain how historians use primary and secondary sources to answer

questions about the past.

2. 3 – G5.0.1 Describe how people adapt to, use, and modify the natural resources of

Michigan. Examples may include but are not limited to: interdependence of people and

the environment, interaction of people with the environment, appreciation for the

environment, e.g., taking a walk, watching birds, swimming in a lake, fishing, hunting,

photography, harvesting maple syrup.

3. 3 – E1.0.4 Describe how entrepreneurs combine natural, human, and capital resources to

produce goods and services in Michigan.

4. 4 – H3.0.1 Use historical inquiry questions to investigate the development of Michigan’s

major economic activities from statehood to present. Examples of questions may include

but are not limited to: What happened? When did it happen? Who was involved? How

and why did it happen? How does it relate to other events or issues in the past, in the

present, or in the future? What is its significance? Examples of economic activity may

include but are not limited to: agriculture, mining, manufacturing, lumbering, tourism,

technology, and research.

Activity:

1. Ask the students what their favorite advertisement is on TV. You could ask students the

day before the lesson and try and access some of the advertisements to view as a class.

Discuss what is for sale in the advertisements, or what students can learn about a product

from the advertisements. Explain that historians often use advertisements to help

understand a time period and/or location. There are strengths and limitations to using

advertisements as primary sources.

Strengths Limitations Reflect social standards and values of the

time

Don’t always know the creator of the ad or

the date when it was created

Include information on manufacturing

technology, product materials, content, and

use

The main function is to sell, so information

can be biased

Give us a glimpse of aspirations and

desires of the time

Shares prejudices and biases of the time

(this can be valuable to historians)

Often include visual elements Sometimes include contemporary

references that are not obvious to modern

viewers Adapted from Engaging Students with Primary Sources from Smithsonian

2. Read the “Henry Lightbourne: Bath House Owner” and “The Doctor Said Take a Bath!”

articles. Discuss the following questions as a class to check student understanding:

What were some of the different ways the mineral water was used to make people

feel better?

Why did Henry Lightbourne open a hotel and bath house in Mount Clemens?

How about the Haywards and their spring?

Make sure to explain the difference between the water if it was pumped up from the

ground versus being used from a spring. Water pumped from underground was often

murky and had a distinctive odor. When the water came up through a spring, it was

filtered through the rocks and was clear and had no discernible odor.

3. Pass the advertisement set out to the students. The language might be difficult for

students to understand so you may need to look at each example as a class. An

Advertisement Talking Points sheet has been included to help highlight important

information from the various ads. Some suggested questions to ask about each

advertisement are listed below:

Observations Reflections (Inferences) What do you notice first? Why do you think someone made this?

What do you notice that you can’t explain? Who do you think was the audience for this

item?

Are there any numbers, or is it only text? If someone made this today, what would be

different?

What can you learn from examining this? These questions were adapted from the Analyzing Primary Sources Teacher’s Guide from the Library of

Congress.


4. Ask students which advertisement they like the most and why? What did they learn about

mineral baths from the advertisement? Record information students learned from the

advertisements on chart paper or a document camera. Was any of the information listed

from the advertisements also in the articles they read?

5. Have students turn to the activity on page 9. Give students time to select the order they

would follow if they were opening a hotel. Allow students to compare lists. There is not a

“correct” order of events. The student’s ability to defend the order they made is more

important than the order itself. Some steps are obvious, but some could be interpreted

differently.

6. Ask students to create an advertisement for their hotel. Their advertisement should

include information about their hotel and mineral baths and encourage people to want to

come and visit.

Conclusion: Display the advertisements around the room and allow students to observe. Take a class vote on

which advertisement does the best job of explaining mineral baths.


This advertisement was in the 1907 issue of Cutter’s Guide to Mt. Clemens. Cutter’s Guides are similar to tour books or guides that

you can buy today. They listed information about food, hotels, and businesses in a selected area.

The picture is from Julie Kampling.


This advertisement was in a city directory. A city directory was a book that listed the names,

addresses, jobs, and even sometimes the ethnicity of people in a particular town or city.

Eventually, city directories were replaced by phone books.

189ft ^Senator Jones was opposed to thenomination of Mr. Bryan for the presi¬dency. He went to the eonvention tosupport Bland. The famous "cross ofgold" speech, however, won Mr. Jones, asIt did many others who had previouslyopposed Mr. Bryan. He went at once tothe Nebraskan and offered him his sup¬port.

A God-Given Production for the Ills of Humanity

The beautiful lawn and shade trees of Athenian Springs provide a restful place to enjoy the cool,

pure health-giving beverage or drink. The combination of all the different minerals (see

Analysis) helps every organ of the body. The minerals are absorbed quickly and don’t leave

people with a stomach ache or upset stomach.

The next section lists some of the illnesses or ailments that were helped by the use of the

Athenian Spring water. According to the advertisement, people who had difficulties with their

joints (rheumatism), organs (kidneys, stomach, liver), nervous system (nerves), and sleeping

problems could find relief from the spring water.

The water is served directly from the spring and does not lose any of its properties or minerals

when bottled. The water is served hot and cold all year long and is very clean.

Analysis

The analysis was completed by a Chemist, John Meyer. The water sample was taken on May 26,

1908, and the water was 48 degrees Fahrenheit. His report is dated June 15, 1908. The highest

concentrations of minerals were Calcium Bicarbonate (18.328) and Magnesium Bicarbonate

(13.445). The smallest concentrations of minerals include Silica (.665) and Magnesium Chloride

(.687).

Mineral Baths

This section lists some of the ailments that are successfully treated by mineral baths. It includes

difficulties with joints (rheumatism), the nervous system (nerves), and organs (heart, liver,
