content: The State Superintendent of Education's monthly school reports, January 1866–May 1870, are arranged chronologically. Evidently compiled from reports submitted by teachers and subassistant commissioners, they contain similar information consolidated for the state as a whole. The reports for January–May 1866, are narrative. For the period January–April 1869, there are also reports of schools, teachers, and buildings that were requested in Commissioner Howard's circular letter of October 6, 1868. These reports list the names of teachers and their patrons and the number of buildings and their owners. For the months of October and November 1868, December 1869, and January 1870, there are lists of teachers showing the locations of their schools and the owners of the school buildings. Filed at the end of the 1869 reports is a list of freedmen's schools that had been compelled to suspend their operations for lack of means.
