Inspectors, mostly Protestant ministers, note early building standards, lower teacher training quality, and sporadic attendance due to farming and seasons. Reports detail new schools, locations, and conditions across multiple counties and towns, including Belmont near Nelson, Bradley near Emerson, and Birtle, with total building costs around 8 000 dollars for several facilities.
