COMMENT  BY  STATE  BOAKD  OF  CONTROL.
This  school  has  grown  so  rapidly  that  it  has  been  almost  impossible
to  furnish  capacity  to  meet  the  increase  in  the  attendance  of  students.
It  has  done  a  great  work  for  the  education  and  culture  of  the  colored
youth  of  the  state.  The  reports  herewith  printed  of  the  Principal
and  of  the  Business  Manager  give  in  detail  the  improvements  and
additions  made  during  the  period  covered  by  this  report,  and  also
state  in  detail  the  needs  and  things  desired,  so  that  it  is  not  neces-
sary for  us  to  go  into  these  matters.
