The freedpeople in the District are very indifferent in regard to education.

There has formerly been two freedmens schools in existence here and owing to non payment they were compelled to close.

The freedpeople are making no effort in in regard to establishing schools.

They may be assisted by furnishing a School house and paying teacher.
