Dear Sir,
I have the honor to transmit herewith receipt [[illegible]] Statement of Schools in this State for the month of October 1869. Also list of Teachers commissioned by Northern Benevolent Associations for the next month in accordance with letters from the Commissioner of Oct 6th.
We are using every effort to convince the local authorities of the State to assume the responsibility of the educational work and in some calculation succeed very well; while in most Counties nothing has been done nor can much be done, until those in a decided improvement in public sentiment. In many localities the feeling in regard to these schools has recently improved since the election.
Very Respectfully
