This book covers Spring term 1889 to Fall term 1892. One page of instructions is followed by pages ruled off into twelve five-day weeks with a statistical summary section on the right side. A pair of pages was sufficient for a term unless there were more than thirty-five students and this school had the highest census seen so far: 112 in Spring 1889. Care must be used in tracking the student lists--the teacher was often obliged to double back to earlier pages to find room for names.
