I have the honor to report that in the 1st Div of the 8th Sub Dist, State of Virginia consisting of the counties of Wythe, Bland, Tazewell, Smythe, Carroll & Grayson the condition of schools, so far as those in actual operation, remains the same as per last report.
It gives me pleasure however to be able to report that there is a growing feeling in favor of education & an increased interest felt in the organization of new schools, & we have several applications for funds to erect school houses, also for teachers. Please find within estimates of funds addressed to Mr Manly, Supt. Int. Edu.
Very respectfully &c
C. McDougall
