of whom we have 200, besides the 40 in Howard, Hampton and Berea, who are reckoned as teachers, are usually missionaries as really as those who go abroad, or go South under that title. Of this last class of workers, of whom we have twelve, there are some who are very apostles in the garb of womanly delicacy. They teach mothers and daughters things which belong to their sex; they lead to the tidiness and comfort of home; they gather the maternal meetings and lead in the same; they labor in revivals; they become assistant pastors, being often, as the young pastors testify, their own best teachers and guides. The soldiers of the Union are worthy of all the praise and the gratitude they have received, but here has been a small army of heroines, who, forgetful of the best chances, came after the pomp of war, to serve not for three years, but for ten, twelve, fifteen, seventeen years, growing gray by work and by the anxieties and privations of the field, breaking down in health and wearing out their lives, ostracised and despised by those about them, who ought to have given sympathy and succor, and not sustained as they should have been at home, of whom the world is not worthy, but who must have a large place in the heart of Him, who, in their isolation, has been the companion of each one, and who, at the last, shall say, “She hath done what she could, she hath chosen the good part.” Before the war and since, the wealthy people at the South had a full supply of colleges and seminaries, besides the free use of the best institutions in the North, so that their children were well educated. But there was a class of white people who could avail themselves of no such advantages and for whom there were no free public schools. As a consequence they fell into a distressing state of ignorance and poverty; they lost aspiration; they felt themselves in a hopeless class; and they are just there now. From the beginning our institutions have been open to pupils of all races. As yet the colored youth have been almost alone in entering them. But it is thought that, as they shall be seen shooting ahead, as prejudice shall wear away, many of these worthy white young people will go where they can get an education, a better one, and at a less cost, than anywhere else. A Confederate Colonel says that this will come about in ten years. Already in the medical department of the Howard University, of the 93 students two-thirds are white, while some of the Professors are colored, though accomplished in their profession. In the law department of the Straight at New Orleans there are more white than colored students. Some of the best teachers in the white public schools of Atlanta have visited the class-rooms of our University there, with the purpose frankly avowed of making improvement in the art of teaching. In the country white teachers have gone to those who had been trained at Atlanta to learn their normal methods of instruction and of management.
