Subseries 3: Reports of Examinations for Training School Certificates

Scope and Content Note:

Training schools were two year teacher training institutions located in cities and intended to supply the local city school system with elementary school teachers, although certificates were valid in any school in the state. High school graduation was required for admission to a training school. Each report gives the date and place of the examination, name and address of the examiner, and a statement by the school principal and examination deputies that the examination rules were followed. For each statement the following information is given: name; address; date of birth; name of any other institution where training school examinations have been taken; scores in examination subjects such as arithmetic, geography, nature study, history of education, psychology, or kindergarten methods; and certification of entitlement to training school certificate (some restricted to kindergarten). At the beginning of the first volume (1911) are some unbound lists of graduates from 1910 entitled to certificates, and a few pieces of correspondence between students, training schools, and the Education Department concerning issuance of certificates.
