Scope and Content Note

This series consists of reports submitted by town school commissioners pursuant to legislative act. The reports were submitted to county treasurers who transmitted them to the secretary of state. The secretary then transferred them to the legislature.

These reports give the following information about each school in the town: name of school master (teacher); number of children taught; and number of days of instruction provided. This series was partially burned in the State Capitol Fire of 1911 and is incomplete.
