MY Dear Miss Emory.-In trasmit-
ing 10 you the list of books and house
hold articles which are now needed ot
ST. Margarets School for Girls. nj
Boise, 1t is necessary to add a word of
explanation. ST. Margarets was built
during the Episcopate of Bishop Tai
Dot on block of land set apart years
agU during Bishop TUtt1e-s carly FInIs-
copate The school is admirably loca-
ted, and is having a wonderful influ
ence In moulding the lives and ennob
ing the characters OF the young girls
Of Idaho. Wyoming. and Montana.
There are about twenty boarders and
twenty day scholars in this Church
school now and noble work is being
done. What could be n more laudable
OBJECT for commendable benevolenco
than to lead these young daughters Of
the frontier land from narrow and iso
lated homes where they are cut off
from ennobling influence into the re-
fined and Christian environments of
home where they may get a vision of a
true and Christlil1e life. and go back to
the centres of influence for good
through all the coming years? We
earnestly pray that this school for girls
on the frontier of the far West may be
near the hearts of the women of the
Church. and that God in His provi-
dence may raise up true friends. who
will help to endow it and pcrpetuatc its
influence. or at least may be found to
assist in supporting scholars and
equipping the school.
Faithfully yours
(Signed) j. B. FUNSTEN.
