THE school year in Guatemala lasts eleven months; but, after all, no more days of school are taught here than in the United States in a nine months' session, for there are many holy days and holidays, and even whole weeks of vacation. The patrons pay tuition by the calendar month for the entire twelve months.
It is customary here that the girls and boys attend separate schools. We, however, have both in our school, but for the most part they are kept in different classes and rooms. The Spanish children are very quick to learn the English. The school has become self-supporting, and perhaps this year will yield a little increase. Many opportunities for good are presented to the Christian teacher in these lands.
