Description

16"h x 11 1/4"w x 1 3/4"d brown leather bound ledger with maroon and gold accents and red, brown, black, and cream faux marbling on the inside covers and fly leaves. The spine has four ridges and five panels. The title of the book is in the second panel from the top, but all the other panels are blank. 1909-1912 is hand-written on the middle panel. Cover page 2 has a black and gold label near the top edge next to the ditch (2 1/4" x 4 3/8") in gives the publisher's name, Hoffman Flat Opening Blank Books. There is an index with tabs at the very beginning and the pages are numbered. This book was primarily for teachers' salaries and a few contractors' bills, one page per school. The names in the index were alphabetical by last name. An African-American teacher had "Col'd" by his/her name. If a teacher changed schools, his/her name might appear on more than one page. The election district, school number, teacher name, and location were at the top of the page, so this is one more source to determine the name of a teacher. White schools were always listed first, with African-American, aka "colored," schools listed next. This large book had data for three school years: 1909/1910, 1910/1911, 1911/1912. The book was ruled for two columns and the accountant chose to put two terms in the left column and two terms in the right. The specific date of a check was usually included and often the check number. If a teacher bought wood or approved incidentals during a pay period, reimbursement was included in the check. The teacher earned a dollar for chopping or sawing wood for the stove. Tuition for Institutes was also reimbursed. It appeared that if days were lost, presumably to epidemics or weather, the teacher was paid for those days anyway. If a teacher was replaced during the course of a year, the new teacher's name started its own columns on the same page. Pages 1-56 were the white schools, pages 57-61 were for schools that were out of order, pages 62-64 were blank, pages 65-96 were for colored schools, page 97 was a colored school that was out of the order, pages 98-101 were blank, page 102 was for the free text book fund, including a loose sheet dated July 31, 1911, page 103 was for bills payable that looks more like banking records, page 104 was for construction work, page 105-116 were teacher records, mostly for 1912 in no particular order, page 117 was for construction work. Pages 118-372 were unused pages, which seems a sin and a shame in such an expensive book.
