Description: R.D.W. Connor, with the North Carolina Dept. of Education, compiled this bulletin about the function, goals, and achievements of the Woman's Association. It begins with a message from J.Y. Joyner, N.C.'s Superintendent of Public Instruction, highlighting the Woman's Association's influential role in the recent school improvements across the state. The association's goal was to garner the support and participation of women across the state to work with teachers, school trustees, and their communities to improve the interior, exterior, supplies, decorations, and libraries of schools in their areas. Includes a list of current officers, the organization's constitution, history and overview of the purpose, plans, and notable results, information specifically about county and local associations, including how they are formed, sample constitutions, and a sample annual report. Concludes with reports from the field.
