7 _a.m._—The boys would be told what manual work they had to do: either they would weed the paths, or cut the grass, or work at their different vegetable gardens. Sometimes they would go out into the jungle to get firewood. At Temudok, where the soil was good, the schoolboys had excellent vegetable gardens. 8.30 _a.m._—A gong would be struck to let them know they were to stop working and have a bath, after which, at 8.45 _a.m._, there would be a short service. 9-11 _a.m._—Morning school. 12 _noon_.—Midday meal. 2-4 _p.m._—Afternoon school. 5 _p.m._—Evensong, to which some of the Dyaks from the village would come. 6 _p.m._—Evening meal. 7-8 _p.m._—Preparation for next day’s lessons. 9 _p.m._—Two or three short prayers and one verse of a children’s evening hymn, after which the boys would go to bed. On Saturdays there was no school. The boys did their washing on that day, and often went into the jungle for firewood, but they had most of the day for play. The children were taught to read and write Dyak, and a little arithmetic. They were also taught the elements of the Christian religion. They were always encouraged to ask the schoolmaster or myself any questions they liked. I have learned from conversations I had with my boys what were the special points in Christianity that needed explanation to Dyaks. Living with me as they did, I got to know my boys very well, and through them I learnt to know their parents and friends. They did not have many lessons to learn; there was plenty of time for play and work. It was not so much what they learnt from books that did the boys good, as their being separated for a time from the customs and superstitions of the Dyaks. We have had many instances of families becoming Christian through some children of theirs coming to school. Most of the boys in the school were Christians, but all, whether Christians or not, attended the services and were taught about God. Some of the bigger heathen boys, after being in the school some time, have asked to be baptized. The following schoolboy reminiscences may be of interest to my readers:— When I was visiting the different villages in the Saribas River and teaching the people in the evening in the public hall of the Dyak house, very often some boys would say they would like to join my school. Then I would speak to their parents, and if they agreed to it these boys would go back with me on my return to the Mission House and attend my school. I must relate an incident which occurred when I was stationed at Temudok on the Krian River. I paid my usual quarterly visit to Saribas, and when I was at Stambak a boy named Usat, about twelve years old, said he would like to attend my school. In the evening, when we were seated on mats in the public part of the house, the headman, who was a great warrior, and had a very gruff manner, said to me:—
