They are white children. You hardly ever see a negro in the Cumberland Mountains. They are un- usually bright children. Mrs. Mary Hoge Wardlaw, and, indeed, all our mission teachers, say they are the brightest children that they ever saw. I have known many of them to memorize three or four Catechisms in one summer, and pages of the Bible; though they could not read a word. The questions and answers were sim- ply repeated to them. Many of them never saw a church, or school, or Bible. The schools... they have are generally very poor, and many who go to them never learn to read. Most of them are what are called "blab schools" where all the children study out loud. They are generally very poor. Many go barefooted all winter, and most of them never have a good suit of clothes We send hundreds of garments to them every year. I have known some half grown boys to have no garment but a long shirt. Some girls go barefooted until they are grown. Their houses are generally very poor and cold, and only have one or two rooms.
