Item description from seller

Print on Demand. Published in 1847, this report for the Vermont state legislature conveyed the Superintendent's observations on the progress of education in the state during the previous year. The Superintendent reported on the general condition of the state's schools, as well as the number of districts, students, teachers, attendance and the average length of the school year. The Superintendent devoted considerable attention to the qualifications of teachers and lamented the lack of thoroughly qualified ones. In contrast, the Superintendent was quite upbeat regarding the establishment of teacher training institutes and classes. His report further expounded on teachers' wages and experience, and the attendance of scholars, both regular and irregular. The Superintendent concluded with a call to action, as he sought several modifications to existing school laws, such as changing the basis for apportioning public school funds from being based on the number of scholars to being based on attendance. The Superintendent's report provides a glimpse into the state of education in Vermont in the mid-19th century and reminds us of the long-standing challenges in American education. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…
