Interfiled with the annual reports are a quarterly statistical report of the Superintendent of Education for the State of Kentucky and Tennessee, January–March 1866, and three semiannual reports dated June 29, 1867, December 31, 1869, and June 30, 1870. These reports summarize educational developments in the State during the designated periods and provide statistical information on pupils, teachers, and schools. Subjects discussed in the reports include the status of day schools, night schools, and Sabbath schools; the cooperation with the aid societies; the impact of the State School Law, passed by the Tennessee Legislature on February 5, 1867, and revoked on May 31, 1869; and the popular attitude toward freedmen's school.
