Excerpt from record	"MONTHLY REPORT Sub=Assistant Commissioner (or Agent), District of Murfreesboro State of Tennessee December, 1868 Forwarded January 12, 18689" "SUB-ASSISTANT COMMISIONER’S (OR AGENTS) MONTHLY REPORT on Education of Freedmen and Refugees in Sub-District, State of Tennessee in charge of George E. Judd for the Month of December 1868, is accordance with order contained in Circular No. 5, Bureau R., F., & A.L." [Questionnaire concerns Freedmen's schools in the district of Murfreesboro. It covers quantitative information regarding number, condition, and value of school buildings as well as that of teacher and pupil demographics. The questionnaire concludes with inquiries concerning public sentiment toward the Freedmen's Bureau.] [According to George E. Judd’s responses there were 27 Freedmen’s Schools. This included 17 day schools, one night school, and nine conducted on the Sabbath. The schools were located in the following communities: Murfreesboro, Tullahoma, Shelbyville, Bedford County, McMinnville, and Franklin County. There were 22 teachers, 22 white and 9 ‘colored.’ The average value of the schools was $500. Nearly 100 individuals attended per school. According to the questionnaire there was a need for so many additional ‘colored’ schools that the Freedmen’s Bureau and the government could not produce and fund them. Judd perceived improving sentiment toward the Freedmen’s Bureau. According to Judd, there was nothing further the Bureau could do for educating white ‘refugee’ children.]
