class. The teacher had given the seven girls comprising the class the
privilege of getting a dinner and each one inviting a guest. One of the
lovely things about the affair was that the guests were the mothers and
teachers of the girls. So at three o'clock one day a company of eighteen
sat down to a dinner that was all cooked and served by these girls. The
white, puffy biscuits, well-cooked meat and vegetables, and the quiet
lady-like serving, all testified to the excellence of the instruction
received. Prouder mothers I never saw than those who then partook of
their daughter's cookery. I was told that every Saturday it had been the
custom for the girls at home to repeat in their own kitchens the work of
the day previous, as it had been done under their teacher's
instructions.
We hope next year with our boarding pupils to do more than we could with
only day pupils. Our sewing classes are this week finishing their work
for the year. There has been sewing in five rooms. The primaries have
pieced blocks for outsides for two quilts, over-hand work. The next
grade has put together four outsides (running). The upper classes have
made fifty pillow-cases, twelve sheets, forty aprons, hemstitched three
tray cloths, outlined one tidy and made three night-dresses. Darning,
button-hole making and hem-stitching were taught in one class. The girls
in another room have tied six comfortables. The boys in the carpenter
shop are doing excellent work, and they like it very much. One class of
five or six come every morning at seven o'clock, and they do this to get
more instruction. Most of this class are country boys who cannot stay at
school all of the year. In one of the primary rooms, we have the
kitchen-garden material. There, with the twenty-four sets of toy dishes,
the little ones are taught how to set and clear off table, and a great
many useful things in reference to table manners and customs.
Our general school work goes on like clock-work. The children and young
people are growing in their power of concentration and self-control, and
we feel greatly encouraged, as we look into the future for them, to hope
that at no very distant day a well ordered home, where three meals a day
shall be served in a refined, orderly manner, shall not be so rare a
thing as it now is. We are more and more convinced that the home life of
these people must be changed, if they are ever to be what we want them
to be, and what, for the interests of our country and for the coming of
Christ's kingdom on earth, they must be.
And now I will close in the usual way by telling you some of our needs.
For the new boarding department, we shall need bedding of all kinds. I
especially want that each mattress shall be furnished with a quilted or
padded cover--that is, something as large as the mattress on top.
Towels, table linen and such things as are needed in every house are
always acceptable. If any one wants to furnish carpets for teacher's
rooms, we do not say them nay.

WORK AMONG THE CHILDREN.
BY MRS. L.R. GREENE.
I have spent nearly five years in teaching the little colored children
in this Southland. In my department there are over ninety bright,
enthusiastic little folks between the ages of five and thirteen. I have
often wished that the anxious inquirers as to whether the colored
children were as bright and smart intellectually as white ones, could
visit my room, and the little people would answer the question
themselves.
My pupils, with one exception, being day scholars, I have had an
excellent opportunity to know the colored people. I go to their homes;
some I find as cosy and prettily fitted up as the average home at the
North, while others are miserable apologies for the name.
I often, Sunday afternoons, take a bundle of papers and go through some
of the streets where I find boys playing ball or marbles, and flying
kites. When I ask why they haven't been to Sunday-school, or at home
reading, they tell me they have no clothes, and that they have nothing
to read at home; as I distribute the papers, they lay down bat and ball
and eagerly devour the stories and study the pictures.
I find some very bright little fellows among them. I asked one little
boy, "Won't you come to my Sunday-school?" He replied at once, "Oh yes."
I said, "Do you know where I teach?" The ready answer came at once, "Up
at the big college yonder," The next Sunday, as I went in, the first
child I saw was Dan. He sat with eyes and mouth wide open as we talked
about Joseph, sung our little hymns and repeated the commandments--
things he had never heard before. The next Sabbath he was there as
interested and eager as on the first, his bare feet hanging from the
chair; but the third Sunday as I went out the gate, there stood Dan,
forlorn enough. I said, "Aren't you going to Sunday-School?" He said,
"I can't go; my sister is married, my mother has gone crazy, and I
haven't a clean shirt." It would have melted the stoutest heart to have
heard his sorrowful tale. I found him soon after, and through the
kindness of a Northern friend in paying his tuition, I had him in my
school, where he proved himself bright and interesting.
I might cite many such instances that have come within my observation,
if time and space would permit. I long for much that is wasted at the
North to help many such bright, interesting, needy little children.
