to organize an association in this State to look after their school interests. The Balto Assn will expire on the 30th of June. It has only been kept alive the past two years by the N E Branch and they are going to withdraw at that time. The Balto Assn have not handed their schools over to the State and cannot. They have no control over them, and it would be of no use, for the Counties would either shut them up or put white children in them, and exclude the colored. We expect to run all the schools till June 30th and hope to be able to open summer schools. I wish some of our friends could go around with me and see the good their donation is doing. I believe they would help these poor people till the day arrives when they and their friends obtain control of the Legislature and place their schools on an equality
