There is a utility called 'useradd' which comes with the shadow-utils
package. You can use it either interactively or pass it the options
using the command line. The main options for you would be 

useradd        [-p passwd] [-s shell] login-name

You can use this utility in your shell script. Use the shell script to
read a user name from the txt file, use useradd to create the user. If
you try google, I think you may come across scripts which do this.
