It is intended that the boys should work two hours every day, study two hours, and play two hours. They have the privilege of e&rning pocket-money by working over-time. The farm contains five hundred acres of land, and will furnish - employment for “many more boys than are new there. On the day of the opening of the school a Boston gentleman agreed to erect a chapel as soon as plans were completed. The girls’ school contains two hundred and fifty scholars, and will hold its first gra duating exercises next year. On the farm where the girls’ school is located there are about one hun dred cows which are cared for by the boys; the butter is used at the two schools. IE is intended that the farm at the boys* school shall contribute food to the girls’ semin ary, which is five miles away. Mr. Moody, who has great faith in this work, intends to get material aid from his friends in England; and there is no doubt the friends in this country who have contributed largely in the past will continue to contribute to the support of this most excellent enterprise. ------------------------- ♦ « ♦■ ■ ■---------------- :—.
