County Clerk's reports on common schools, 1821-1822.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/79738808

These reports were submitted by county clerks pursuant to a law of 1819 requiring that they forward to the superintendent of common schools copies of reports received from town school commissioners. In 1821 the office of superintendent of common schools was abolished and its functions transferred to the secretary of state. The first folder in the series contains a draft of the secretary's report to the legislature, probably for 1821.
