Departmental State Papers, Monterey, tomo I–VIII · BANC MSS C-A 43, document 774

A compulsory-schooling proposal: parents who fail to send children to school pay $2–$10 (1st offense), $10–$50 (2nd), 6 months of *obras públicas* (3rd); the director to send weekly absence lists; the alcalde to verify. J. R. Estrada (27 Apr) softened it — the ayuntamiento admits only the weekly notice, reclaiming absentees 'por vía de amenaza.' Education/social history.
