Bible women. They expressed their ap

ing and received much help. Could
our women in the homeland realize
the contrast between women who have
not studied in schools and the young
women who have studied from child,
hood and graduated firm our schools
in Seoul, they could see the value of
putting great stress upon educating
the girls of Korea. The women in the
country are delighted with and great,
ly respect those who come to them as
teachers from either Ewha Hagtane
of the Women's Bible Training School
Day Schools on the District.
There are three day schools on the
District with total enrolment of 120
girls. have been pleased with the
advance the schools have made The
Tumpo schools has had a change in
teachers and we have success cd in
getting a man and his wlIe ~ leach.
The pitiable thing about it is that we
only get salary for one teacher and it
is continual struggle to keep the fl
nancial side of the school running. We
have an enrolment of nearly fifty girls
and should have, besides the two who
are teaching, a Japanese teacher in
the school. Then, too, we have no
school building and have to have
school in the church, which is most in.
convenient. We believe if we could
erect a school building in Tunpo for
girls only, our enrolment could reach
one hundred. There is no Government
school within radius of twelve miles.
Think of the possibilities awaiting
these girls if We only had the means.
Three of our graduates this spring are
resuming their studies in Seoul, two
at Ewha Haktang and one at the BIZ
BILE School.
The results from the Yang Dae
School this year are excellent. The
teacher has not only worked hard to
make the school success, but has
conducted a Sunday School for both
Christian and Christian children
on Sunday forenoons, and in the after
Moons taught the women. She has al
so held a weekly prayer-meeting for
the women of the church.
The Kuimikol school is doing good
, work, two of the girls who finished
there, went to Saoul for further study
Among all the schools there is an
atmosphere of wanting to achieve
greater heights.
