content: The monthly school reports from subassistant commissioners and agents, May 1867–June 1870, are arranged chronologically. They generally contain information on schools in an entire subdistrict, although some are for smaller jurisdictions. Most of the reports were submitted on forms containing 19 questions relating to the number of schools in operation and teachers employed, the need for additional schools and teachers, the efforts and ability of the freedmen and the aid societies to meet the educational needs of the subdistrict, and the public sentiment toward the education of freedmen and impoverished whites.
