SHENGAY NIGHT-SCHOOL, BOMPHETOOK, ROTUEUNK. 
This school was organized early in February, in 
the dining-room of the mission-house, with twen- 
ty-one scholars. The second night the room was 
crowded — chairs and benches all full ; and many 
sat on the floor, so that it was difficult to get about 
to teach them. So many continued to attend that 
it was necessary to remove the school to the 
chapel. There are now sixty scholars enrolled. 
Willie Caulker, the chief’s son, is assistant teach- 
er. His wife is in one of my classes, and is an 
interesting woman. Several women attend the 
school.' Some bring their babies with them. 
These are placed on the floor and left to amuse 
themselves while their mothers study. The little 
ones are usually very good, and seem as happy in 
school as their parents. Could the friends of the 
Woman’s Missionary Association witness these 
Sherbro women poring over their books, they 
would no doubt feel greatly encouraged to press 
on in their efforts to enlighten and save them.
