Excerpt from Transactions of the Manchester Statistical Society: Session 1873-4
The importance attached to the work of the School Board by the public of Manchester was evidenced by the fact, that at the first election there were 44 candidates for 15 seats, and that these candidates represented every prominent sect of religionists, and almost every political and social organization. Further. Proof may be found in the social position and calibre of the men, many of whom would have declined the honours of the City Council, but were willing to devote time and talent without stint to the education of the people.
