It is said that the deficiencies in the public expenditure for the

education of colored people largely explain the active campaign for

private and higher schools since the Civil War. These schools not only

represent the effort of the colored people and their friends to provide

higher training for their children, but also to make up for the

inadequacy of the elementary public schools.

According to the recent report of the Bureau of Education, there are 625

private schools for colored people in the United States. These schools

have property valued at $28,500,000, an annual income of $3,027,000,

4,600 teachers and an attendance of approximately 100,000.
