To the Editor of the "Norra-Cuina Dainty News."
Sir,—Will you allow me a small space in your paper to draw the attention of your foreign readers to that admirable institution "The Moore Memorial Church Educational Classes for Workmen These classes are principally meant for household servants and so as not to interfere with their duties the hours of instruction have been fixed from 2.30 to 4 p.m. five times weekly, Saturday and Sunday excepted.
The subjects taught are English, Chinese and simple arithmetic and for this quite comprehensive course of instruction only one dollar per month is being charged.
One of my own servants has attended the classes regularly with excellent results. As understand that the pupils are not very numerous I would like to appeal to all foreigners who are interested in the education and mental improvement of their servants to send them to this admirable school of which I cannot speak too highly. I may say, so as to avoid any misunderstanding, that not only have I written this appeal without the request, even without the knowledge of the Moore Memorial Church, but I am without any connexion whatever with the institution in question and unacquainted with anyone belonging to it. However, knowing the splendid qualities of our Chinese servants—at least of my own servants—I think that I ought to draw the attention of those who have the welfare of their servants at heart, to this very modest, but extremely efficient educational centre.
With my best thanks in anticipation for giving the necessary space for these lines.
