Student reports are letters written to Allen by Model School students, usually on a weekly basis, critiquing their own lessons, attendance, and behavior, and often including future plans or other personal notes. A few reports were written by Allen's student teachers. Beginning in January 1851, when Allen traveled to the southern United States for his health, students included more news of the school and its members in their reports.
