Teachers are earnestly requested to keep their Register carefully, and punctually at the close of each calendar month to fill this blank and send one copy to the local Superintendent and a duplicate to this office, together with a written statement of the work for the month. Whatever interests the teacher, is always interesting and important to us: therefore the more full the account of labor among families, of progress of pupils, and of the trials and success or disappointments of their teacher, the more valuable will be the statement. Suggestions of changes and improvements in our work from our fellow laborers in the field will be thankfully received. This monthly written Statement is very important, and it is hoped the Teachers will allow no ordinary hindrance to prevent its regular coming to the Rooms of the Association.

The Teachers are requested to make such observations and inquiries as will help the Superintendent in forming an estimate of the number who have learned to read since Freedom, and the number who have been hopefully converted during the year.

This Report is not a substitute for that asked by the officers of the Freedmen's Bureau. The Blanks furnished by them should be filled and punctually forwarded according to their directions. Any teacher failing to receive such blanks from the Bureau is requested to notify this office.

Address correspondence relating to Schools and Mission Homes, to the General Field Agent, EDW. P. SMITH, American Missionary Association, N. Y.
