Scope and Content Note

This bound volume contains a record of certificates issued to schools when they advanced (or occasionally lowered) their grading sequence. The volume provides the following information about each advance (or lowering) in grade: name of school, certificate number, location of school (usually), dates certificate issued and sent, advanced grade and often former grade, occassionally the school principal's name. The volume begins with certificate number 969; it is unknown whether records of earlier certificates exist. After 1967 the issuance of advance-in-grade certificates was discontinued. At the end of the volume are several lists of syllabi revision committee members, ca. 1911 - 1918.
