SCHOOL OFFICERS' GUIDE, FOR THE STATE OF OHIO; ་་., CONTAINING THE LAWS ON THE SUBJECT OF COMMON SCHOOLS, THE SCHOOL Educ 1485.4.15 KARVARD COLLEGE LIBRARY In Exchange. Western Reserve Hist. Society PREFACE. THE undersigned, in obedience to the requisitions of the 9th and 10th sections of the act entitled "An act to amend the act entitled 'an act for the support and better regulation of common schools, and to create permanently the office of Superintendent,' passed March 7, 1838," passed on the 7th day of March, 1842, has performed the duty enjoined upon him by that act in the best manner the limited time, within which it had to be done, would admit. This edition, prepared amid the pressure of other official duties, at the most busy season of the year, he has not the vanity to flatter himself will be found every thing which the public may desire; but he does hope, that when it is placed in the hands of every school officer, it will do much towards insuring punctuality in the performance of their various duties, and thus infuse energy into the general system. In the preparation of the instructions and forms, contemplated by the law, the undersigned takes great pleasure in saying that, in respect to the latter, he has derived much assistance from the "School and Township Officer's Manual," by WARREN JENKINS, Esq'r. The favorable consideration which the common school system received at the hands of the legislature, during its last session, and the liberal appropriation made for publishing the present edition of the laws, afford an earnest that a disposition prevails to render it as perfect as possible. It has therefore been thought advisable to embody, in this publication, all the laws now in force having any bearing upon the subject. SECRETARY OF STATE'S OFFICE, J. SLOANE.
