The collection records “Children of School Age” that lived in school districts in Blue Earth County. Each census record contains information regarding the school children who lived in each district, their hometown and the legal name of at least one of their parents/guardians. Occasionally some basic attendance information is recorded to the side of the child’s name. At the end of each year, there are a series of reports that go into greater detail on attendance and class performance by district, as well as some financial information. The end of the collection features a series of maps that outline school districts and the surrounding areas.
