the building and desks We're new at
that time, no improvements had since
been made and the desks had been
patched over and over again, while
the schoolhouse looked like barn. For
sometime past when it had been neces-
sary to use paper for exercises, he had
Z bought it himself. In connection with
( this he stated that while the Japanese
\ pupils were willing to buy blank-b books
/ and pads, the Portuguese refused to 90
SO. The general condition of things
was due to no fault of the Board OF
