Judging from the number of students at
the State College for the Education of Col
| ored Youths it looks as though the negroes
| of this state do not desire to avail them
selves of the opportunity of an education.
There have been more professors than
| students in attendance since the opening
only two students have been attending
and II has been necessary to hire laborers
school now and it is said that more have
signified their intention to do so. The
professors are disheartened in their failure
10 interest the colored people and secure
students.
