content: The monthly school reports of the district superintendents, January 1866–June 1870, are arranged chronologically by month and thereunder alphabetically by name of the subdistrict. The reports are statistical in nature and were often submitted on a variety of forms. The reports from the district superintendents give essentially the same kind of information as that given on reports prepared by the Superintendent and were evidently used by him in compiling his reports. Beginning in January 1868, a 19–question form is interfiled with the regular monthly school reports. This form is similar in structure and purpose to the 16–question form relating to educational conditions. One additional question was asked, however, concerning public sentiment toward the education of Negroes and impoverished white persons.
