Transcription Notes:
Looks like 1860 is printed on the document but the 6 was written over as a 7. an s is handwritten next to teacher so that it is now teachers. The "in grammar" is likely in response to the question "number in higher branches" rather than "{Give reasons for deficiency of time, (if any,) in teaching.}" ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-06-26 00:22:38 strikethrough missing in date, in grammar should be in response to higher branches and not in time, spelling corrections should be written in single not double brackets Spelling corrections always in double brackets - please read instructions - also, unnecessary for simple words that are easy to figure out. ---------- Reopened for Editing 2024-06-26 07:52:49 Spelling corrections should be in double brackets - please read instructions - also, they are superfluous for simple words that are easy to figure out. We are to minimize the use of brackets in general.
