NameMcCoy, Emma A. (Recipient), Shaw, Anna H. (Correspondent), New Brunswick Free Public Library
Date Created1911
SubjectLocal Women, New Brunswick (N.J.)
DescriptionLetter from Anna H. Shaw, President of the National American Woman Suffrage Association, in response to Miss McCoy's letter asking for assistance.
NoteMiss McCoy was Supervisor of Drawing at New Brunswick High School which was the school which she graduated from in 1883. She was actively engaged in the New Brunswick community during her lifetime. The collection reflects her activities and interests on both the local and national arenas.
NoteMy dear Miss McCoy,
Your letter of the 31st-July is at hand and I am going to try to help you. I readily understand the difficulties with which you are confronted and I hope to be of some assistance. The attitude of the average teacher is difficult to explain or to understand in the face of all the obstacles which are put in her way and the lack of incentive for the best work of which she is capable.
It will take many years for her to learn the value of justice both as an incentive for her self and a basis of respect for her worth and on the part of her pupils.
My duties increase constantly and I have so many calls for work that I find it impossible to fill them, so that I have at last determined to select only those in which I can be of most use. I think your case is one of these. To teach teachers one can reach a large field, so if all goes well and no complications arise in my work to prevent me from keeping the engagement and I know of none at present, I will be with you at your last meeting of the year. You say April 1913, do you not mean 1912?
Please when you fix the date and it would be well to do so as soon as possible as I shall have to have it included in my engagements. I will let you know positively.
I am glad you are with the advancing tide of self respecting womanhood.
If I can be of service at any time let me know.
Faithfully,
Anna H Shaw.
