 It was our pleasure to visit principal Taft's school in Canaan. Mir. Taft is Q gentleman and scholar, and brother teacher that 1t seems good to meet.

They make nice provision for their employees living in respectable houses, and pro- viding medical attendance in case of sick ness. It is truly very humane.
