North Carolina spent last year for Negro education approximately $3 million. About $600,000 was invested in additional buildings and equipment at the three Negro Normals, $115,000 was put into the State A. & T. College, and $330,000 was invested in 81 Rosenwald school buildings. A $60,000 colored high school was recently dedicated at Salisbury, and a similar plant is now under way at Greensboro. In the appropriations for 1923 the A. & T. College comes in for nearly half a million dollars for further expansion. The Negroes of the state have been greatly encouraged by this liberal policy and are contributing form their private funds more than $100,000 a year to aid in building schools and lengthening the term.
