Excerpt from The Township High Schools of Ohio, Vol. 7From 1825 to 1838 there were Examiners of Schools, whose duties were to visit the schools and to examine teachers. From 1838 to 1853 the township clerk acted as township superintendent. One county Ashtabula - had a county superintendent appointed by the county com missioners under the law of 1847. During this and the succeeding twenty-five-year period - to 187 3 - there was a very rapid increase in the number of academies and colleges.In 1847 the famous Akron law was enacted. This law permitted the city of Akron to levy a tax for the improvement of its schools. From its passage dates the beginning of the graded school system in Ohio. In 1853 a general law provided for establishing schools of a higher grade than elementary schools. By this act, Township Boards of Education could establish a high school if the people so decided by vote. Practically the same law remained in force until 1873, when it was so changed that a township high school could be established by a majority vote of the board of education. Only two mills could be levied for high school purposes.The Bill of Rights of 1802 contains the following provisions: No law shall be passed to prevent the poor in the several counties and townships in this State from an equal participation in the schools, academies, colleges, and universities, within the State, which are en dowed in whole or in part fron. Revenues arising from the donations made by the United States for the support of schools and colleges, and the doors of said schools, academic, and universities shall be open for the reception of scholars, students, and teachers of every grade without any distinction whatever.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
