Sir
I have the honor herewith to transmit "Montly Educational Report" for the month of March with the questions answered as correctly as could be from the data at my command.
I would further report from the observations made during my visits to the schools that the teachers of my Dist with the exception of Isaiah Hankinson (Colored) are totally incompetent and unworthy their positions, unless the people go upon the principle that it is better to have their children "wrong taught than untaught," the sooner they are discharged and their places filled by "live teachers" the better.
I have the honor to be Sir
Very respectfully yr obt svt

PS A good school can be had in this place by sending a good teacher and having a house.
