"Report the disposition and feeling of the white people towards the freed people, as expressed by words and actions."

This month, from the actions of the People, I am compelled to differ from my previous reports, and say "Bad"

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, &c."

The Freedpeople have been very careless in sending their children to school. The Teacher Mr McInerny requiring the fee in advance, it not, having been the rule of his predecessor, Many not having the money ready did not send their children. This I believe to be the principal cause of their laxity.
