Emero^ing from their bondage, the ne- groes in the very beginning manifested the utmost eager- ness for instruction, and their hunger was met bj a corre- sponding readiness on the part of the people of the North to make provision for it. The earliest societies called into existence by the physical destitution of the freedmen, sent teachers and books, and gathered children and unemployed adults into schools. Thus, when General Howard assumed charge of the Bureau, he found many schools already in... existence, in those localities which had been for sometime within the lines of our armies. Those which had b3en established by benevolent associations of the North, though without any systematic protection, nor always enjoying even the sympathy, much less the assistance, of military com- manders, and without adequate buildings or school appa- ratus, were nevertheless carried on efficiently and suc- cessfully, and were rendering a valuable and important service. In some localities, as in parts of Louisiana under Major-Generals Banks and Butler, school systems had been established, the expenses of which were provided for by military taxation.
