The 'RECoRD-UNIoN has not infrequently
taken occasion TO refer to the illiteracy ex-
listing in the State Of Kentucky, and has
also took pleasure in calling attention &c
the more recent movements in that COM
monwealth for improvement Of its school
system. In a recent letter Professor W. f.
c. Wright of the college at Berea, KY,
which is, if We mistake not, the highest ed
ucational institution in the State and is
open alike 10 white and colored students,
being under Northern supervision, speaks
thus interestingly concerning the present
state Of education there among the cOlored
people
The former chattels are rapidly becoming
land owners. The little village Of Lowell,
Garrard county, is in the rich bluegrass
country, and fifteen wears ago had but one
colorcd man within three miles who owned
any land. Now there are thirty colored
families within that distance who own
farms varying in size from five to fifty
acres. They have not been obtained
through charitable aid, but bought with
the proceeds Of labor. No doubt so good a
record is exceptional, but 4 single example
of such -eli-respecting thrift is an inspiring
prophecy of wha; may be hoped for in the
near future in an Increasing number of
communities all over the South. Some of
the old colored preachers in this same COM
munity are inclined to discourage educa-
ton, bat the people instead of accepting
their dintum, have just raised money
among themselves to prolong the school
beyond the time provided for by the State
funds, which j. thing very rarely done in
any of the white districts ofthc State The
younger colorcd preachers are pushing for

Many will prefer, and it is often easier,
to solve the example by taking the interest
for days all the way through. The time is
26GS days The principal, s., '2S3 90, is its
own interest for 5000 days. The inverted
comma performs the same Office that il did
in the preceding example. Since 1928 90
is its own interest for 5000 days at per
cent. per annum, one-third of it, or s., 427 =
6G666, would be the interest for 1000
days at the same rate, If we re-
