Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The collection contains one solicitation letter from Shackelford, president of the State Normal School in Troy, Alabama, recruiting teachers who have not attended college and received "special training" to attend the school as a means of securing their teaching positions in the future. Shackelford offers the influx of men returning from World War I and the increase in the number of teachers who were attending college as reasons that school boards would be increasingly more selective in the hiring process and, therefore, why it was essential for them to receive college training.
