Mobile, Ala.—School overflowing. If we have room and teaching force enough, we shall have three hundred in attendance by February 1st. Without increased room and help we shall be obliged to turn away many that would enter the intermediate and normal departments. We have already begun this at the primary door.
Atlanta, Ga.—Mr. A. W. Farnham, late principal of Avery Institute, has become principal of the Normal department of the University, to assist in making the best teachers possible for that region.
Fisk University.—The number of pupils is rapidly increasing, and there is a prospect that the students will be too many or the accommodations too few.
Woodville, Ga.—Our school is crowded. If you had not built the parsonage, the pupils could not have been accommodated. You have done a great deal of good for the people at this place. Almost every day, children are refused admittance, because we are so full. The only hope of our church, so far as I can see, is in the children educated in our schools.
New Orleans, La.—“I wish you could have heard some of the expressions of gratitude to the A. M. A. in our services during your Annual Meeting in Chicago. The church observed the day by remembering the Association in their Tuesday evening prayer meeting.”
