CONTEXT
Administrative/Biographical history:
The first Principal of the London Day Training College, opened in 1902, was Sir John Adams. The Principal was also a University of London Professor of Education until 1945. Percy Nunn and Margaret Punnet acted as Master and Mistress of Method who had the 'personal oversight of the men and women students respectively, will give lectures on method and school management, will supervise the attendance of students at practising schools and preside at criticism and model lessons and generally act as tutors and directors'. In 1905 these titles were replaced by those of Vice-Principal. Percy Nunn succeeded Adams as Principal in 1922, and Miss Punnett became the sole Vice-Principal.
CONTENT
Scope and content/abstract:
Carbons of outgoing correspondence from the Principal's office, including general letter books, 1906-1925; London County Council letter books, 1907-1925; Vice-Principal's letter books, 1925-1926; and 'Education letters', 1925, which seems to be part of a lost sequence of correspondence with London County Council education officers.
