Footnote 2:
In these totals students and teachers are counted but once; and
departments are _not_ counted as separate institutions.
In twenty-two years the Freedmen’s Aid and Southern Education Society
has expended in the work of Christian education in the South about
$2,500,000.
The present value of the property owned by the Society in the South is
over $1,500,000. This includes lands—some of which have increased in
value—school buildings, furniture, and libraries. More than one hundred
thousand colored students have been in the various schools, and a
reasonable estimate is, that the preachers and teachers in public and
private schools, from among this multitude, have had under their
influence fully one million of the youth and adults of the South. No
words can adequately express the far-reaching and glorious results
already achieved, and yet to flow, from this ever-widening current of
intellectual and moral power.
THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.
