Abstract: In the spring of 1863, the Teacher's Institute of Suisun City was to meet at the Fairfield Courthouse where an examination of teachers would take place. Mr. W.L. Ragsdale, who had applied to teach in Green Valley, was rejected. His letter of complaint, printed in the newspaper, drew response from the school superintendent, who disputed Mr. Ragsdale's version.
