Sir:
In accordance with Cir 17 Series 1867 Hd Qrs Asst Com Dist Va. I have the honor to make the following report: viz: That I visited the Clarksville School for Freedmen August 11th 1868. There was 117 Scholars in attendance. Said school was organized in April the 22nd/68. And the most of the scholars were in alphabet, or easy words at the commencement of the term, I found on examination that there was but four in Alphabet and Sixty Six (66) in easy lessons, the balance (47) were in advanced lessons. These Scholars have made very rapid progress since the commencement of this term. And had a very excellent Teacher.
