"The industrial classes of boys and girls were never so large before, and among the girls the spirit of real work and helpfulness through work seems to be developing true womanly character. In the tool-room there are five classes of from eight to fourteen boys every day. A little printing-press is set up, and one boy has begun to set type. The shop is a busy place when fourteen boys are in it shoving their saws and planes, running the lathes, carving or hammering, and they usually seem very happy. We are looking with anxious longing for that new teacher promised. The number of country students this year makes it imperative if we reach these surrounding counties, as we want to do, but the new teacher must come soon, or we must send away thirty-five or forty scholars, nearly all from the country. This is written that you 'also might know our affairs and how we do.'"
