Extract

Twenty years of diligent labor on the part of New Englanders in Ohio, the Western Literary Institute, and other groups resulted in the creation by the legislature, in March 1837, of the office of State Superintendent of Common Schools. The resolution of the General Assembly providing for the position stressed the two chief duties of this new official: (1) collecting information on the schools of the state; and (2) seeing that the school laws were being properly observed.
