The school which they attend has been established since the abolition of slavery.
The next morning, we visited the day school.

It was opened with singing and prayer.

The children knelt and repeated the Lord's Prayer after Mr.
M.They then formed into a line and marched around the room, singing and keeping the step.

A tiny little one, just beginning to walk, occasionally straggled out of the line.

The next child, not a little displeased with such disorderly movements, repeatedly seized the straggler by the frock, and pulled her into the ranks; but finally despaired of reducing her to subordination.
