THE SPANISH INSTITUTE.

The Spanish Instituts for the Mexican
evaugelists and teachers Of the Presby-
terrain church, Is still in session In the mis-
sion school buildings, across tho river. The
numbers in attendance ara smaller than
last year, owing to the fact that several
young men who were here then, went from
hore to tho Presbyterian college OF tho
southwest at Dsl Norte, Cob, AMI have
been there throughout the year, as mem
bers of a class OF twenty, who are prepar-
ing themselves for work as ministers aud
evangelists in the Presbyterian church.
All the furniture and furnishings for
boarding students having been removed to
this year 10 Mexican teachers to secure
their attendance, as they could not be &C.
commodated with board. There are. how
ever, enrolled seventeen students, Uiz: Ten
eyengelists, two teachers and fivs others.

suited to their various nesd,, by four in
structors.

a larger institution. as instruction IS given
in reading, arithmetic, geography, Fog.
fish and Spanish languages, algebra, vocal
must c, theology and history.

tiles for boarding Is all that prevented q

be given during the institutes on various
subjects of interest and Importance, three
