Gen. Banks has issued an order for the instruction of Negro children. Schoolhouses are to be built or rented and Teachers hired for this purpose, and the farmers and planters are to pay the Taxes in support of this.

Do not read, as children do, to amuse yourself, or like the ambitious, for the purpose of instruction. No, read in order to live.

You don't pay taxes - they take taxes.

It really was a non-issue. The teachers were more concerned with making sure they got the support materials they needed.

Teachers are the backbone of the system. He wants to be there to give them the support they need to get the job done.

(The academy) offers brand new teachers the support they need to get through that very difficult first year. It is a brand new experience and most of what you learn in college is straight from a book. That (classroom) experience is really quite different.
