Schools
At Meridian Miss, two schools, two teachers and (136) one hundred and thirty six. scholars Lauderdale Ave School one teacher and (60) sixty scholars. Enterprise Miss one teacher one school and (43) forty three scholars. The schools are all in a fine condition - the teachers are laboring diligently, and seem to be fully alive to the importance of the work. The school house at this Post is not sufficiently large to contain the scholars - as they should be seated. And I fear it will be difficult to obtain more lumber, for building purposes.
