Excerpt from First Report of the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to the Governor of Maryland, 1866
No provision is made by law for erecting and furnishing School Houses. If done at all, it must be either by Special appropriation of funds by the Board of Commissioners, or by the voluntary subscriptions of citizens interested in the School. The entire School money being needed to pay Teachers' salaries and incidental expenses, it is unreason able to expect any improvement in our School accommodations unless there be some local tax, or our people are aroused to the importance of erecting comfortable houses. From every County we hear the same complaint - badly built houses, no furniture, no apparatus for instruo tion.
