Scope and Content

This series contains official student registers from the Scott School (or 36th District School) located in the Millcreek area of Salt Lake County. The later registers are in a standardized Utah School Register format and record such information as student names, ages, parent names, residence location, and daily attendance and some scholastic evaluations. Earlier registers also note whether students can read and write and whether their parents are Mormon or not. The registers are generally arranged by school year, teacher, and grade. The registers also include school-year schedules and various school statistics. The 1898-99 register for Ella Wingrove's class includes a list of contributors to a "Lafayette Monument" and the 1902-03 register for Ruth Copp's class includes a "Daily Program of Recitation and Study" and a "Register of Visitors". Several other documents were found tucked in the registers, including a "Roll of Honor" dated 1 November 1886, a description of the topography ofTownship 25 South, Range 12 East (Salt Lake Meridian), student arithmetic test papers, and other notes.

Gaps in Series

Registers for many of the years and some of the grades from the time span of this series are not accounted for. Some of the registers that are missing in the series may exist elsewhere. At least one register (1892-93?) was located along with other items stored in the attic of the Scott School building in 2009 (See Deseret News 19 Nov 2009). This one known register is in the possession of the Pioneer Craft House.
