   I  have the honor to submit the following report in regard to schools in my Division.
   I have one school located at Salem numbering forty five scholars and having two teachers (both colored).  It is supported by subscription and is free to all.  I  have been unable to get up any others, the Freedmen not feeling themselves able to bear the expense of paying teachers.
Very Respectfully
Your Obt Servt
