May 27" 67. " Although Mr. Doherty professes no plan for the establishment of a Normal school in this State, the immediate and pressing need for a school in which the negroes can be fitted for teaching is so great that I cannot find terms strong enough in which to urge the speedy adoption of some plan by which this result may be attained. At this time sixty more teachers could be advantageously employed in this State: in many places they would be furnished with school houses and paid, either by the freedmen themselves, or their employers or both."
