Rev. Dr. Up. Mendes was sent for by the
ladies to present a handsome gold watch
to Miss Lenora Amram, who had been In
charge of the mission school. So success

a mere matter of salary could not reward
her for the excellent work she did. DR..

teacher and the satisfaction it gave them
to present the watch.
