The feeling upon the subject of education is good and encouraging. there are some three or four colored persons teaching others, evenings, in a private way. no day school taught although the colored people have built a good school house they have no teacher capable of teaching a good school. The best manner they could be assisted would be to send a teacher, and I think a school could be had that would pay one half the price of a teacher at moderate wages.
