The Report should always be forwarded in a LARGE ENVELOPE, without unnecessary folding. Forwarded June 2nd 1866. Received June 2d 1866. FREEDMEN'S SCHOOLS. STATE OF GEORGIA. Teacher's Monthly Report. [[stamp]] THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES OF THE UNITED STATES [[/stamp]] Yonkers School, at Savannah for the month ending May 31st 1866. J.S. Fortune Gertrude Fortune Teachers. Suggestions. 1. The importance of regular, accurate, and full reports is not easily overestimated. 2. The report is to cover the calendar month in which the teacher is employed, or fractional part of a month, ending with the last calendar day. 3. The report will not be considered regular, unless it is finished and mailed on the last day of the month reported upon. 4. Every subdivision of the report is to be attended to. Every space is to be filled with a cypher, if not with significant figures. A blank signifies a defective report, and nothing more.] 5. When precise data are not at hand, approximate figures should be entered, and noted in the margin as such. 6. It is evident that an accurate report can only be derived from an accurate Daily Register. 7. The formal report is not to take the place of familiar correspondence, but to serve as the text which the correspondence shall explain and illustrate. The teacher should regularly discuss the general progress of the school, the chief obstacles encountered, and the method of meeting them; adding observations bearing upon the welfare of the school, and information in regard to the condition of the freed people at large in the vicinity. 8. The usefulness of the schools is in the keeping of the teachers. Too conscientious a regard for one's own prudence of behavior can hardly be entertained. 9. All reports must be addressed to G. L. Eberhart, State Superintendent of Freedmen's Schools, Augusta, GA.
