                      EDUCATION.
"Report the feeling upon the subject of education; what steps have been taken to promote the same; what efforts the freed people are making in that direction and in what manner they may be assisted, etc. etc."
The white people are indifferent as to the Education of the freedpeople. 
   One Dr. L.L. Roberts, has presented the freedpeople with two lots in San Augustine for the purpose of building a school and meeting house. I am sorry to state, that the colored people show a deplorable indifference in regard to the education of their children. The school teacher at San Augustine will be compelled to give up teaching, as he has not been paid a single Dollar for tuition by the colored people. 
    The other school-house (the old Union school-house) was burned down on Sunday, Decbr the 1st 1867.
