But If the missions have ceased to
be schools for the full.blood Indians
they have been great aids to the poor
whites or renter class. To meny OF
these the mission schools. particularly
that at Park Hin, has been a great
blessing indeed. Many a poor girl and
boy from the villages and mountains

school such measure of education

labor in the cotton field. or some other
