Subseries 2: Reports of Examinations for Teachers Special Certificates

Scope and Content Note:

Special certificates were issued after two years of professional training and successful completion of examinations. These certificates, first issued in 1896, entitled the holder to teach a single subject only, such as art, commerce, home economics, music, drawing, physical education, or kindergarten. These volumes contain examination results of candidates for these certificates. Each examination report gives the date and place of the exam, the name and address of the examiner, and a statement signed by the school district superintendent and examination deputies that all examination rules were followed. The following information is given for each candidate: name; address; and scores in examination subjects such as history of education, school management, kindergarten methods, agriculture, drawing, typewriting, and shorthand.
