West India Education. —Governments are, it is understood, adopting a plan for establishing and maintaining schools for the negroes and other inhabitants of our African, West-Indian, and other colonies. It appears that there are funds which were formerly provided for the redemption of Christians from slavery in Algiers, Morocco, and the other states of Barbary, which in consequence of the extinction of Christian slavery in those countries have accumulated to a considerable amount; and governments now conceive that these funds may be applied to the education and mental liberation of the descendants of slaves.
