| This
series consists of various school district reports submitted to
Mercer County Superintendent of Schools Joseph M. Arnold during
the period 1910-1911. Represented are all Mercer County districts
outside the jurisdiction of the Trenton Superintendent of Schools.
While the reports were apparently planned as an annual filing required
from each district, they were completed or have survived only for
the fiscal years 1909-1910 and 1910-1911. Most numerous among the reports--and present for all nine districts--are those entitled "Report on School Houses." These record the following information for each district school building: school name and number, value of property, lot dimensions, construction material, date erected, number of stories, whether an assembly room was included, whether fire escapes were present, how heated and ventilated, type of toilets, whether owned or rented, number of classrooms, and number of pupil's desks. Next are the reports of "Evening Schools, Lectures and Library and Apparatus" (present for five of the nine districts). These record data on district evening schools and lectures offered (e.g. number, attendance, expenses involved), and on expenditures for library acquisitions, equipment, "educational works of art," etc. Finally, included for the Ewing Township District only are several additional financial reports for the fiscal year 1910-1911. |
