Another young woman was assistant in a school of 80 children. The log school-house had no windows except board shutters; the seats were boards fastened upon blocks of wood; the blackboard was of her own manufacture. The building was so small that in pleasant weather she heard her recitations in a bush-arbor built against the side of the house. Some of the teachers had better accommodations. One young man had an excellent building in a community of thriving farmers. He has taught there for five seasons. Just now he is getting up a club for the _New York Tribune_ and reports ten subscribers. Another young man, a member of the senior class, could scarcely leave his people. A powerful revival in connection with the school had brought many aged people as well as children to confess Christ, and the converts were loth to part with their teacher and friend. The person who went after him does not weary of telling about the tears shed and pathetic expressions of regret. After two years of constant teaching, another writes, “There are so many things in life I can’t manage, I want to go to school again.” The most cheering sign of the year is this growing desire for more thorough preparation for the work of life. * * * * * THE INDIANS. * * * * * BOYS FOR HAMPTON FROM FORT BERTHOLD. Rev. C. L. Hall, Fort Berthold, D. T. In the temporary vacancy of this Indian Agency, we gratefully acknowledge the courtesy of Mr. Hall, who is in the service of the A. B. C. F. M., in writing us the interesting letter which we print herewith: I have had my privilege and my duty to co-operate with your society as represented by Hampton Institute, Virginia, and with the U. S. Government, in inducing a number of Indian youth to go East for education. We thank God that the Government, among other good movements it has undertaken, has taken this “new departure” in the matter of Indian education. The A. B. C. F. M. has for many years been educating Indians with success, and the present civilized condition of the Cherokees, Choctaws, and many of the Sioux, Nez Perces and other tribes, is owing to their efforts, and for some years past the A. M. A. has also undertaken like work with like success. Indian education is no new departure with us; but on the part of the Government it is, and it has given us great pleasure to help on the plans of the Secretary of the Interior and of Commissioner Hayt in this matter.
