I have visited a number of schools during the month.
The progress some of the scholars are making is astonishing.
Teachers are much needed.
Every neighborhood in a circumference say of 6, or 10 miles has a population
of 40 to 100 children.
The children go as far in
some instances as 6 miles to school.

Very respectfully,
Your obt Svt.
