Abstract: Recently uncovered 1906 Virginia teacher-salary data allow for more precise and consistentestimation of marginal returns to certification and formal education than available in previousstudies. Virginias separate but equal educational system paid black teachers in rural countieslower wages than it paid white teachers and on average paid a lower premium to blacks forcertification and formal education that it paid to whites. In incorporated cities, returns tocertification and normal school education were about the same for black teachers and whiteteachers, although average salaries were lower for black teachers.
