Alison Taylor McCall A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the award of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy September 2013 ii Abstract This thesis examines education and opportunity for girls and young women in mid to late Victorian Scotland. The study involves analysis of girls’ educational opportunities, and an examination of the career and life options available to those who had successfully accessed education to discover whether there was a so-called ‘lass o’ pairts’ - a woman who was able, regardless of her social background, to achieve upward social mobility through educational opportunity and career advancement. This aim was achieved by examining the lives of women at various stages, through school, pupil teacherships, training college, and teaching. Teaching offered women a structured profession, with recognised qualifications and the possibility of promotion. During the period 1850-1901, tens of thousands of young Scottish women sat the Entrance examination to Teacher Training College. To get a representative cross- section of Scottish society, five diverse areas were chosen; Kildonan, Loth and Clyne in east Sutherland, Aberdeen, Dundee, Edinburgh and Govan. Sources such as examination results lists and school board minutes were cross-referenced with census returns to identify the social origins of the girls and women. This confirmed previous research that teachers were drawn largely from the skilled working classes and lower middle classes. Careers were tracked through School Board records of appointments and promotions, whilst social mobility was simultaneously tracked through census returns. Other primary sources used included newspapers, student newspapers and the Educational News, the journal of the E.I.S. Within Scotland, the existence of a separate education for Roman Catholics enabled comparison with the state system and conclusions regarding the two parallel systems to be drawn. The thesis concludes that girls and women could and did access education and careers, which conferred upward social mobility, well-paid jobs and social status. iii Contents Abstract ii Acknowledgements v List of Illustrations vii List of Tables viii List of Acronyms ix Introduction 1 The lad o’ pairts 3 Fictional representation of the lad and lass o’ pairts 15 The Scottish educational system 20 Women’s careers in Victorian Scotland 24 The superfluous woman 25 Conclusion 38 Chapter One – The Five Areas. 46 Chapter Two – Basic Educational Provision. 64 Introduction 64 The situation immediately prior to 1872 64 The School Boards 70 The Provision of Schools after 1872 75 Half-timers 88 Truancy 90 Needlework 99 Conclusion 102 Chapter Three – Female Access to Post-Elementary education. 104 Introduction 104 Staying on at school 106 Monitors 109 Pupil teachers 112 Conclusion 119 Chapter Four – Teacher Training 121 Introduction 121 College Life 129 Entrance Examination 132 Sutherland 137 Aberdeen 137 Dundee 139 Govan 142 Edinburgh 143 The importance of the successful ‘lass’ to local identity. 145 Conclusion 146 iv Chapter Five – Careers in Teaching 149 Introduction 149 Types of teacher 151 Salaries 155 The Impact of Marriage 163 Teaching as a means of transition into other careers 167 Kildonan, Loth and Clyne 173 Aberdeen 176 Dundee 178 Govan 183 Edinburgh 184 Conclusion 185 Chapter Six -Female Teachers in Promoted Posts 187 Introduction 187 Promoted posts 188 Salaries 193 The E.I.S. 202 Marriage 206 Kildonan, Loth and Clyne 208 Dundee 209 Govan 210 Edinburgh 211 Aberdeen 213 Conclusion 218 Chapter Seven – Education of Roman Catholic Girls in Victorian Scotland 220 Introduction 220 Teacher Training 227 Roman Catholic Schools 240 Kildonan, Loth and Clyne 244 Aberdeen 244 Dundee 246 Govan 248 Edinburgh 249 Conclusion 250 Conclusion 252 Appendix One - Schools from which pupil teachers sat the Entrance Examination to Teacher Training College 1894 266 Appendix Two - Students at Dowanhill 1901 census 285 Bibliography 288 Index of Female Names 299 v Acknowledgements Firstly, I would like to thank my supervisors, Prof. Callum Brown and Prof. Perry Willson.
