Thirteen composition books belonging to Maude Spitler are included in this collection. These books appear to be notebooks from classes Spitler took. Some of the classes include English, composition and rhetoric, science, mathematics, chemistry, and geography. The handwriting is clear. The inclusive dates appear to be 1892-1984. Spitler attended an academic institution identified only as C.H.S. near Dayton, Ohio. In addition there is a 1892 report from the Covington Protestant Children's Home of Covington, Kentucky, as well as assorted publications by John William Lloyd.

The documents are arranged by record type.
