Notes:

A Board of Trustees of Colored Schools for Washington and Georgetown was constituted by Congress in 1862 � their successors being appointed by the Secretary of the Interior. The municipal authorities of the two cities are required by law to pay over to these Trustees �such a proportionate part of all moneys received or expended for school or educational purposes in said cities, as the colored children between the ages of 6 and 17 years, in the respective cities bear to the whole number of children, white and colored, between the same ages.� The fund thus far received being inadequate for the purpose, the Trustees have invited and obtained the aid of Educational and Missionary Associations at the North, in providing schools for the colored population. Sixty free schools are now maintained, in which sixty-two teachers are employed, supported as follows:

By Trustees of the Colored Schools: 31 teachers; by New York Branch, American Freedmen�s Commission: 10 teachers; by Pennsylvania Branch, American Freedmen�s Commission: 9 teachers; by New England Friend�s Mission: 4 teachers; by Reformed Presbyterian Mission: 2 teachers; by other parties: 4 teachers. Total 62 teachers.

The total number of pupils belonging to the schools is about 3,000.

The Trustees have four large school buildings (two of them substantial brick structures) with eight rooms each, and one building with four rooms, making 36 school rooms in all. The remainder of the schools are held mainly in temporary buildings belonging to the Government.

The management of the schools is entrusted to a superintendent employed conjointly by the Trustees and the New York and Pennsylvania Commissions.
