Shaping Southern Schools collects detailed annual reports on how the Peabody Education Fund supported teacher training and school improvement across the South.

This volume compiles state-by-state updates on scholarships, normal schools, and teacher institutes, revealing how funds were allocated and what results were seen in 1887.
