In raising this last amount 675 Sunday schools and 1082 Young People's societies co-operated with 3591 Women's societies.
To the women, almost entirely, is due the establishment and maintenance of most of the boarding schools now supported by the board. The names of some of the most consecrated workers and liberal contributors have been commemorated in the names of most of these institutions. That this fact may be noted and as a matter of general information, the following list of twenty-four of them is given.
