Excerpt from Second Biennial Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of California: For the School Years 1866 and 1867
In the smaller districts, having less than 100 children and less than taxable property, free schools were maintained three months in the larger districts, having more than 100 children and taxa ble property, free schools were kept Open five months.
More than pupils attended free schools during the entire school year of ten months.
I am glad that in this, my last official report, I can say that a system of free schools, supported by taxation, is an accomplished fact.
When I assumed the duties of this office, five years ago, I saw clearly that it was useless to expect to improve the character of the public schools to any considerable extent without a largely increased school revenue, derived from direct taxation on property.
