The question is being asked this weel erresnise la the childhood of the are they? Are they maki oven years, the Ricsha Mission has ay interest some to' learn th Going 'a considerable amount, of work fon said lines among the children of ricsha pullers and other waifs and strays of the streets. Two Sunday Schools are held in the Mission Halls with an average attendance of Ages ranging from 2 to 15 years. The older boys, pupils of the Mission Day Schools act as whips for the Sunday Schools, bringing in new, and rounding up old scholars, also help the mission staff in conducting smaller street Sunday Schools, in various districts, From these gatherings many children join the Hall Schools, good results to the children are quickly seen. The street arabs quickly acquire the measure of clean ness and obedience necessary for admi sion to the indoor schools and often turn out well and become instrumental in bringing in others.
We have always admired the work which is being done amongst the ricsha coolies and this view of it is all the more pleasing as it tends to encourage the children to improve on what their parents have done before them.
