less boy from the city streets, and
putting him in a home where he
will receive a good practical educa-
tion and be surrounded by Chris
tian influences. 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.
