content: Both the journal and ledger accounts of the Board of Education, April 1864-June 1865, record the same accounts. Entries in the journal are arranged chronologically by month. Each entry includes the amount of cash on hand and cash expended for teachers' salaries (often including the name and salary of individual teachers), office expenses, carpentry, schoolhouses, books, and other expenses. Numbers in the left column refer to the page numbers of the same account in the ledger. The "cash book" referred to in the journal is no longer among the records of the Superintendent.
