I have the honor to report, that the schools in my district have been in successful operation during the past month. We have opened one new School in Charlestown W. Va. with two teachers, one at Woodstock Va. with one, since the beginning of the year '67.
I have not yet received a report from Woodstock, Without it, the number of pupils in our day schools, at Staunton, Lexington, Harrisburg, Fort Royal, (Va.) and Harpers Ferry, Martinsburg Charlestown and Shepherdstown, (W. Va.) is eight hundred sixty seven, - average attendance six hundred thirty six. Average attendance at night schools, three hundred thirty one.
We have met with no oppostion from citizens during the last month, whilst we have urgent applications from different places to open more schools both for colored and white children.- Very Respectfully
Your Ob't Serv't
