Introductory training course for matrons, 1945.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/78174892

The series consists of a copy of an introductory course manual for matrons of custodial institutions, prepared by the Central Guard School of the Department of Correction with cooperation and assistance of the superintendent and staff of the Albion State Training School. This is apparently a copy of the manual used at training sessions at Albion. As product of the first organized training course for female personnel, the manual represents the start of providing in-service training for all corrections workers. Organized personnel training in the Department of Corrections dated from about 1930, when a brief training course for guards was given in various institutions.
