OPENING OF SCHOOLS.
BEREA, KY.
The Fall term of Berea College opens with greater promise than ever before. There are more students, and they bring more money. Two-thirds are colored, if the slightest shade of black is reckoned negro; but, if divided according to predominance of color, fully half are white.
McLEANSVILLE, N.C.
On the 16th of September we closed a two months Normal school, the first ever attempted here. We enrolled 20 pupils, six of whom had taught school, and four were preparing to teach next winter. Most of the others were primary scholars.
Our pupils did good work. Since the school closed, some of our pupils have attended a Teacher’s Institute in an adjoining county, lasting a week. One of them proved to be one of the best scholars present, was commended by the county superintendent of instruction, who conducted the institute, and by him urged to attend the public examination of teachers in October.
