content: Reports from school directors concerning the sale of tuition tickets, February 2, 1866-July 27, 1867, are arranged generally chronologically by date of transmittal. Tuition tickets were purchased by students in order to be admitted into the freedmen's schools; the money collected was then used to finance the schools. The series includes semimonthly and monthly narrative and statistical reports that list the names of the schools, the cash value of tickets received and sold, the amount of money turned over to the Superintendent, and the selling price of the tickets. The reports for 1867 are primarily from the district of New Orleans.
