All the instruction they obtained after that age, was got at night--a very unsuitable time to study, for those who worked all day under an exhausting sun.

It is manifest that the instruction received under six years of age, would soon be effaced by the incessant toil of subsequent life.

The account given in a former connection of the adult school under the charge of Mr.Morrish, at Newfield, shows most clearly the past inattention to education.

And yet Mr.M.stated that his school was a _fair specimen of the intelligence of the negroes generally_.

One more evidence in point is the acknowledged ignorance of Mr.Thwaites' teachers.
