TEGUCIGALPA.—Our small boarding school is progressing nicely, and is receiving favorable comment from all who visit us. The outdoor relief maps on a large scale, are a source of much surprise to the people of this country. Our students are rapidly becoming familiar with the geography of the world. The “Gospel Primer” and “Christ Our Saviour” are valuable helps. One of our students who lives at home is persuading her father to read in the Bible the passages of Scripture referred to in her lesson texts. All the children join in “morning and evening devotions, both in the songs and in prayers.”

We could distribute all the papers that might be contributed to us, to the visitors who come. I have tried to persuade some to buy the papers or order them, but so far without success. But when I shall be able to get away and canvass or visit the people in their homes, I hope for results. At present we need all our energies to put our school on a more extensive basis. The Lord is with us in all our work, and we trust him.
