The cost of board at a teacher's training school in 1909 was $2.50 to $3.00 per week

 


The cost of board at a teacher's training school in 1909 was $2.50 to $3.00 per week. This information comes from advertisements in the Pocahontas Times for a Select School at Huntersville:

  • The school offered a 10-week program for teachers preparing for the uniform examination.
  • In addition to board, the tuition for the term was $6.00.

The advertisements do not specify what board included, such as the number of meals provided or the types of accommodations. However, these rates were likely considered affordable for teachers seeking to improve their qualifications.
