content: The monthly statistical reports of schools, May 1866-January 1869, arranged chronologically, are labeled "District Superintendent Reports," although they were signed by subassistant commissioners. The reports, prepared on forms, include the names and locations of schools; an indication of whether each school was a night or day school; degree of literacy of students; number of students over age 16, number of each sex, and number taking each subject; number of students free before the war; amount of tuition paid by freedmen; origin of financing of school building; expenses of the school paid by the Bureau; and names of sponsoring societies (often just "freedmen"). At the end of the report, the subassistant commissioner commented on public sentiment toward the schools for blacks.
