Se EDUCATION NEEDED AT THE SOUTH. ‘There are about 80),w colored children in the Seuth old enough to attend school: nearly an equal number of white children who are grow- ing Up without education: and at least 600,0:0 adults who cannot read and write. Not uatil this state of things is changed can the South. era people hope to develop their great resources and <ompete with their Northern brethren in the race of progress. Skilied and intelligent isber is pecessary for theadvancement of their material prosperity. amd education wiil do Tore than sught else to dispel the prejudice, bigotry and conceit which brought about the date rebellion, and tend to perpetuate the disaffectom to the Government. Leading Southerners realize these facts and many of them, who are the true friends of their section, because they do not wish the maternal inter- ests of the South sacrificed to the abstract ideas ef caste and color which naturally grew out of the peculiar institution, are now ear- Hestly co-operating with the friends ot eda. cation st the North.

Qus missionary and denominational Societies; that they instracted 150,000 pupile and that in ail the schools the pupils have made @dmir- able progress. And yet, considering the nam- ber to be educated, 150,000 is, after all, but a small proportion.
