INDEX TO REPORT FOR 1873.
[The report proper of the Commissioner has been indexed with minuteness; the appendix has been
indexed by general topics. Plentiful cross-references have been inserted.
Education, teaching, instruction, school, and a few other words of like character, will not be found
among the topics; e. g., instead of "Instruction in music," look for "Music, instruction in."
In indexing the abstracts of State-school-reports (pp. 3-468), the schedule on p. 2 has been followed
for the arrangement as nearly as possible.]
