is married now and is still one of its beloved teachers.
She loves the work of teaching the negroes better than her own life and
all that she has in Maine. God bless those dear teachers, as they labor
there for my own dear people whom God has blessed in getting an
education.

Miss Lulia Brackett married a Mr. Loughtner, who is a school master for
the whites at the Ferry, and who is a fine school teacher and whom the
people like very much. It is a joy to meet him on his way to his
school-house.

Mr. William Bell is one of the the teachers whom we all love dearly, and
he taught school outside for a while before he came to teach at the
college. He had the greatest success as a teacher. May God bless those
faithful ones as they are far from their homes, family, friends and
loving ones.

I had the pleasure of working for a fine family in Brooklyn by the name
of Davis, and I found them all a lovely family. I had the pleasure of
going away in the country one Summer to a place called Flemington, N. J.,

had a dairy farm and all of the nice things that one finds in the
country. I was not well while there as it was low land, and one of their

public school I taught a pay school for the Summer and had a large
number of scholars, and they progressed well. Some of them would go
without their food all day to study extra lessons.

It would be all of a joy to the whole world to have seen how well all of
the girls, boys, young men and young ladies did in all of the schools
where I have had the pleasure of teaching.

I have never taught in any school with any other teacher or teachers,
and I was so much more blessed, for all teachers have a way of their
own. The new teacher always makes so much change in a school and in the
pupils, I found that to do good work in school I should stay long in one

that I could to help forward the great cause of education in those parts
where there was so much need.

I have just learned that the Rev. J. D. Fulton has
