Forty-fourth Legislature. Senate. No. 17. Report of the Committee on Education upon the subject of the State Superintendent. The ten man
Committee was directed to see if that office could be abolished. The Committee said absolutely not, but the system needed work and offered: An Act to
establish the Department of Public Instruction, 1865. The new department would be directed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction, elected by the
Legislature. He had many duties: look at all the statistics and write reports explaining it all, identify needed changes in education laws, hold a
teachers' institute in each county every year, consider the financial situation of all branches of education, consult on building construction, etc. Each
county was to have a Board of Public Instruction and a Superintendent to cooperate with the state officer. The act described the content of
teachers' institutes. There were two teachers' certificates: elementary and high school, with qualifications for each listed. No mention was made of any
other members or employees of the State Department. The State Superintendent would make $1500/year, with a travel allowance of $300; the County
Superintendent would make $2/day, with $1/day for travel. Digitized from a microfilm copy of title originally held by the Maine Historical Society
