ADAMS’
SCHOOL REGISTER

Fairfield School, Fairfield Township

For the Use of
Public & Private Schools, Academies & Seminaries.

 
     
Note: in all of the following rosters, “Last day” refers only to the current term – students often came back the next term or later.  Names are printed as spelled by the teacher. Attendance marks have been totaled for each term – space does not allow showing day by day attendance.
Session::   A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O
Index:   A-C D-L M-P R-W                      
 
Teacher: Anstis G. Gates May 11, 18686 through  Sept. 4, 1868
     
J.   Attendance [Term had 80 days.]
Scholars   [*means data missing]

[Note: Mr. Gates did not write the dates over the columns of the register so all dates are estimated except the beginning of the term (May 11) and the end of the term (Sept. 4). There were not enough columns for all of the calendar dates in this term . Evidently there were some days off during this term – probably an August break seen in other summer rosters. One would need to know the school calendar to more accurately date each column. ]
