Book excerpt: Excerpt from Public Schools, City of Toronto: Report of the Past History, and Present Condition, of the Common or Public Schools of the City of Toronto As beyond the ordinary Statistical Report annually sent in to the Chief Superintendent, no further informa tion than the publication of the School Accounts has been officially given to the Ratepayers of the City and as nearly all the Cities in the State of New York, and, in fact, some of our own Canadian Cities - particularly Hamilton - have published their School Reports, in pamphlet form; it has been deemed advisable that a Report of the past history and present condition of the City Schools should be prepared and published, under the direct authority of the Board of Trustees.
