I sin corely hope sume way may be found to give perianenee to the statement which has been prepared at no small expense of time and As corrections are called for I would to uive the following in regard to the w of the American Presbyterian Mission. In addition to our Boarding Schools at the South Gate, we have Seven Day-schools two inside the Native City, and five in the South-eastern suburb, The actual cost of our two Boarding Schools, including teachers, salaries, and food and clothes for the pupils during the last year hay been $2,034.
Our country" work includes three out-jons, where we have five Day-schools. The Church at the South Gate support their Pastor. They also own the Chapel which the Mission occupies, rent free at Sungkiang.
There is a stone carriage road, leading fron Rodewald's corner on the Si-ka-wei road to our premises outside the South Gate. We would be lad to receive visits of inspection from those interested. Our afternoon Sunday-school at 3 o'clock would. well repay a visit.
