 and a "retail shop to the industrial works,
 if the progress of ihe school should ever
 justify me in doing so. At present 1 do not
 recommend that any more trades should be
 undertaken.             
   The-boys are required to go to such work
 as they are told off for, though in arranging
 the work their known tastes'are consulted as
 far as possible. While at work, every boy
 is expected to obey ihe orders of the Euro-
 pean to whom he is sent; all complaints on
 either side to be made to me. I am told by
• all the Europeans that the boys work very
 well, and very few complaints are made.

                       
          

       INTOXICATING DRINKS.   
  IT is our firm conviction, that the general
  disuse of intoxicating drinks by Christians,
  would by the moral influence thus exercised
  on all within their reach, have the effect of
  saving from ruin a far larger number than
  are  likely to be rescued by  reformatory
  efforts after the path of sin has been trodden.
  To prevent an evil is belter than to effect a
  cure. The use, even the most moderate use
  of ' intoxicants'. by society generally, and
  Christian in particular, lends to conceal the
  peril arising from drinking habits. From
  the ranks of moderate drinkers fall off, from
  day to day, the weak and erring men who in
  due lime sink into the abyss of confirmed
  and helpless drunkenness.—The  Quiver.
