Buresala (Fiji) School

By A. G. Stewart

WE have every reason to be encouraged. The enrolment continues to increase each year, and we are continually receiving more applications to enter the school. Should we open our school to all the children that we are asked to receive, we would have a very large attendance. But to rightly care for them would mean a great deal of responsibility, which, with our present staff of teachers, we do not feel like undertaking. However, we are opening a girls' department in our school, which bids fair to be a great blessing to our young women, and eventually to our work. We are now having the home for matron and girls built by student labor.

In our industrial work we have two students working regularly in the printing-office, and more at times. With careful training, they become very useful in typesetting, etc. They also put up most of their own houses, sail the boats, and raise all their own food. A. G. STEWART.
