Southern education reform and women’s school aid drive
The South embraces a public role in teacher training, led by women via School Improvement groups in North Carolina and Virginia. The move seeks to fund schools through local taxation, build community support, and overcome constitutional limits, with the Southern Education Board steering a campaign chaired by Dr. Edwin A. Alderman and a board slate.
