As a class they look to them simply to read and write.
They think when they have got that far they know everything; but then there are certain ones who have ambition, just as it is with our own race.

There are some men who have tastes for literature, and receive a better education than others do, but it is not the same proportion of the negro race of course that it is with our own.
