ady had experience in the mission
schools of the American Missionary Association, having taught in
Chandler Normal School at Lexington, Ky. Her home is in Westfield,
New York. She was reappointed to work in the South, but was ready to
enter this more distant island field. She is well qualified for this
new work.

Miss Katherine M. Rowley comes from Oberlin, Ohio, being a member of
the First Congregational Church of that city. She is a graduate of
Oberlin College and is cordially recommended for this missionary
service by her professors and teachers.

Miss Mary L. Daniels is a member of Dr. Munger's church in New
Haven, Conn. She has been a teacher in the public schools, where she
has attained a high position as a very competent instructor. She
takes with her the regard and confidence of a large circle of
friends and there is every prospect of her abundant success.

Rev. John Edwards, a pastor from Ohio, has been sent out by the

the gospel is greatly needed, and Mr. Edwards' circuit covers a
large area in evangelistic services. He is in eastern Porto Rico,
where there is scarcely any other missionary work.

upon the pioneer work in opening up Porto Rico to an intelligent
gospel. They have gone out with the prayers and sympathy of
thousands of those who have been greatly interested in the important
work in this island territory. The future promises large things in
the building up of Christian character and the establishment of
progressive Christian institutions.

_Where have these missionaries gone?_ They landed first at San Juan,
on the northeastern portion of the island. They established a school
at Santurce, which is a few miles distant from San Juan. From this
field Miss Blowers writes as follows:

"The schoolhouse opens on the street (the military road), where
there is a constant stream of passers by. There is not an hour in
the day that there are not spectators peering in at doors and
windows with idle curiosity or eager interest. Sometimes there ar
