Learning from early school records

Article Abstract:

Genealogists can rely on early school records to learn significant things about the past. Although the earliest grammar school in the US is known to have been established in 1635, the oldest account books on record date back to 1676. Dated educational records can usually be found in the archives of libraries and historical societies.
