Other so-called colleges have secondary pupils but none in college classes.
Thirty-three institutions do have a total of 1643 students in college classes and 994 students in professional courses, but these same schools enroll more than 10,000 pupils in elementary and secondary grades.

Some of them are attempting to maintain college classes for less than 5 per cent of their enrollment, and the teaching force gives a disproportionate share of time to such students.

Two of these thirty-three institutions have nearly all the professional students, and two have nearly half the total number of college students.

Only three can properly be called colleges--Howard University at Washington, Fisk University, and Meharry Medical College at Nashville, Tennessee.
While several of the Southern States have greatly increased their expenditures for schools since 1910, in some cases more than doubling them, the proportion devoted to negro schools has not been greatly increased, if indeed it has been increased at all.

For example, in North Carolina, which assigns for negro education much more than the average of the States containing any considerable proportion of negroes, the total paid to negro teachers in 1910-11 was $340,856, as against $1,715,994 paid to white teachers.
