Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thirty-Third Annual Report of the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of Michigan: With Accompanying Documents, for the Year 1869 Nearly every report coming from the County Superintend ents mentions especially, the great change in school buildings, more taste displayed in the plan of the house, they are better furnished, many of them being supplied with the best style of seats now used, and having other furniture to correspond. All these things speak most emphatically of the increased interest felt in the prosperity of the public schools. Formerly all this kind of work would have been looked upon as unexcusable ex travagance. The increased interest in the schools is also seen in the increased length of time devoted to the schools. Three months only, were believed by many to be time enough for children to attend school in a single year, or at least this was all that many people were inclined to sustain a school; five or six months were deemed generous in the extreme. In many parts of the State, this plan, which is a most desirable one, is now adopted; dividing the school year into three terms of three months each, giving nine months for school each year, short recesses are allowed between the first and second terms, and also between the second and third, the third term ending early in July, a vacation of eight or ten weeks follows, con tinning through July and August, the fall term commencing the first of September.
