refused to deliver up the fugitives, calling them
"contraband of war" and where city of refuge

MEETING IN BEHALF OF EDUCATION AT THE
SoUTH.-About thirty-fye of the prominent
men of the city, and also several ladies, inter
ested in the matter of education for the negroes
at the south, met Gen. S. c. Armstrong, at the
Bay State house, Saturday evening, and listened
with interest to statement from him of the
history, object, prospects and needs of the
Hampton Normal and Agricultural institute,
which is located in Hampton, Va. Hon. Geo.
F. Hoar presided, and in brief remarks COM
mended the general and his worthy object most
heartily to the attention of those assembled.
General Armstrong is principal of the insti-
tute, and is closely identified with the success it
has already given evidence of. The amount of
work he is at present doing for its advancement
and future prosperity can hardly fail to makeita
school such as will exert marked influence
upon the freed slaves of the whole south; and
in elevating the standard of morals, industry
and education of that class, the influence will
naturally manifest itself for good to the entire
population. 1t is the purpose of the institute
to provide a means by which the youth-such
of them as have the desire and ability-may
earn an education. 1t is the only institution
south of Washington where INDECENT youth can
earn an English education of high grade, and
at the same time gain industrial knowledge and
experience, such as will be invaluable to them
and their race. For this, of course, the most
intelligent and promising Of both sexes are
the most desirable pupils, and also are the ones
most likely to incline toward an education. To
such chance is given to labor in payment for
tuition, ii the means of the pupils require it.
The farm contains 1875 acres, upon which the
boys work, while the same opportunity is
offered to the girls by an industrial room, in
which clothing is made for the students at n
cost greatly below the prices of the clothing
trade. The matter of boarding has been brouoht
to system by which the cost is but AZ IN ner
month, and for the three wears course tha
entire expense to the pupil is but 5000. nearly
all of which may be paid for in labor. M nr;ccs
varying IRON I'VE to ten cents per hour. But
with all the prosperity thus far ATTENDING
means are needed 10 carry forward the goosd
work and give more poor boys and girls chance
TO prepare Tor the work of teaching. With the
object OF obtaining scholarships from benevo
lent friends of education, Gen. Armstrong vic.
tied Worcester, and has thus made known
the plan Tor giving instruction to intelligent
youth, such as will fit them to become teach.

their own color in the south. More funds are
