Pundita Ramabai’s School

A RECENT visitor to the school of the Pundita Ramabai, at Poona, says: "Of the 57 pupils, 43 are widows and 39 are Brahmins. About one half of the pupils attend daily prayers in Ramabai's own room, to which the door is always open and where any may come in, and the shy ones are not noticed until familiarity has done away with the shyness. The Pundita told me that she did not put new pupils at books for some time, but turned them into the garden to learn of

God's wonderful works. Next they were told about themselves and their Creator. Then came the books."—Woman's Work for Woman.
