Correspondence, 1899-1909.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/313795071

Letterpress copies of the outgoing correspondence of Superintendents of Public Instruction J. H. Lewis (September 12, 1899 - January 24, 1901), J. W. Olsen (January 25, 1901 - December 31, 1908), and C. G. Schulz (January 1-December 31, 1909). Correspondence was also often handled by the assistant superintendents, particularly Andrew Nelson, C. G. Schulz, and C. R. Frazier. The bulk of the letters relate to questions and issues about teacher certification, examination, and appointment; certificate renewals; teacher and superintendent recommendations; and inquiries about salaries, reimbursements, state aid, and the distribution of the budget as it applies to individual school districts. Other topics covered in the letters include pupil age, vaccination, tuition, disobedience, attendance, truancy, and distance from school; book publishers, catalogues, textbooks, and library books; building construction and additions, heating, ventilation, and furnishings; and consolidation and formation of new school districts. Occasionally there are lengthy responses to other educational superintendents or officers around the country detailing the specifics of Minnesota's educational system. The majority are typewritten, some are handwritten, and most of the volumes have an alphabetical index of correspondents in the back.
