You wonder how they get time to study, with so much work to be done; that is all nicely planned for them. Half the pupils go to school in the morning, while the other half are at work in the sewing-room, the pantry, the harness shop, the printing office, the carpenter’s room, and the like. In the afternoon these two divisions change places; the students work, and the workmen turn students.
Think what a little while ago these boys and girls were roaming through the forests, sleeping on the ground, their only dress old blankets wrapped about them; learning to be dangerous enemies to all the white race! Now some of them are Christians, and all are well-behaved and industrious. Who will remember to pray daily for the Indian School at Carlisle?

My dear Blossoms:
I have a very nice plan for the year. I wonder who of you will join me? A Bible Band. That is what I now want to form. I will select and have printed in each Pansy a list of readings for each day in the month. How many of my Blossoms will engage to read the day’s portion with me, and write out in little blank books prepared for the purpose, answers to the following questions:
1. What is there in this reading that I ought especially to remember?
2. Is there a direction for me to follow, if so, what?
