Yes, except the children in St. John's, most of whom were free before.
5. Are the teachers negroes, colored, or white?
One white, four colored, and sixteen black.[[A]]
[Footnote [A]: This number includes only salaried teachers, and not the gratuitous.]
6. How many of the teachers were slaves prior to the first of August, 1834?
Thirteen.
7. What were their opportunities for learning?
The Sunday and night schools; and they have much improved themselves since they have been in their present employment.
8. What are their qualifications for teaching, as to education, religion, zeal, perseverance, &c.?
The white and two of the colored teachers, I presume, are well calculated, in all respects, to carry on a school in the ablest manner. The others are deficient in education, but are zealous, and very persevering.
