HAMBLY, CHINA : Tazeliutsing, S. Chuan, China. Dear Sisters: the time as our most im- portant text book. And isn't it fine that we have the chance to get the children in our schols, where they our Christian ways and ideals and soon they accept the real Christ- ianity, The Bible is a wonderful book when really taught. ; You would be interested in our schools this fall. We are greatly in demand, and our schools are far too crowded, there are any number of peo- Qe who muck prefer Christian schools. e have three boarding schools here in Tzeliutsing (Sil-U-Gin), girls' school, women's school and boys' school, and between us we have turn- ed away 150 this fall. The boys' school never had more than 120, now it has 180. We, the girls' school, determined not to have more than 150, as we have not room. We succeeded fairly well and now have 160. We kept them out by opening a class for day pupils in our hmary school on our own prem- ises here. We call it the "Gate" school. What a change from when we first came here to open the schools. We had to go out to the parents and beg them to let their girls come to the school. This is the first time we have had Higher Primary (5th and 6th years) in a day school. There are 86 in that class, they graduated from our tity day schools in June, am terribly short of funds this year, and next year we are only to get three quarters of our appropria- tions. I gave up two schools, one on the men's board and one in the district under Miss Rouse, and I may have to close some others. Now I have two large schools beside the boarding school. The Park school and the Gate school. The Park school has four teachers with 230 pupils, also the kin- dergarten with 250 pupils. At the Gate school there are four teachers with 200 pupils. What would you think of this kind of management They have one room with 95 divided into two classes. Then the third year class has 31, the fourth year class 36 and the new fifth year class 36 pupils. These are just nice sized classes. There is another smaller room that could be used to divide that class of 95, if I had more seats and money to pay a teacher. Miss Rouse thinks she will have to close one of her schools and let me have the teacher. In that 95 they are not all small, It happens now with this new order of things in China that big girls can go on the streets at will and lots of well grown girls are coming out and entering these first grades. This all shows that they want our Christian schools, I wrote about the Chinese authorities asking ¢ our scholars to go to the county seat for examinations. They won quite a name for our Christian schools. Our higher Primary were examined along with 180 others and of the highest ten, seven were our pupils. The second highest of all was a wee girl of ours, a clever little thing whose mother died of using opium and whose father is away in another city, and she is left to look after herself in school. The father sends money and she gets her owh clothes and manages her affairs well. It behooves us to get letters sent to Canada these times to help our W. M. S., who are finding it so hard to raise money for' our work, and I feel that an interesting letter' might boost things by letting all the dear women s well worth while sending their money, for all these gis are learning Christianity every y, and oh, what a wonderful dif- ference it makes to them, it shines out in their faces so strongly that you would hardly know that a school girl is her mother's daughter. : But our work has grown so fast and there are so few of us, that I burdened with the amount of things to be done that I cannot get the time to write; the days are so full, and oh, if my energy would only last out, So am de; "on you, my sisters, to The Seer and ove a nice let and a lovely lot of Sunday School pictures, so I am boarding |' ye Prince Albert he Seagrave AYER Port Perry ...... for | Nestle 'W.
