In 1836 Mrs.Hebard and Mrs.Dodge carried on the work which Mrs.Smith had so much loved, and which was only temporarily interrupted by her death.
In 1837, Mrs.Whiting and Miss Tilden had an interesting school of Mohammedan girls in Jerusalem, and Mrs.Whiting had several native girls in her own family.
In reply to certain inquiries contained in a note I addressed to Miss T.
she writes: "I arrived in Beirut, June 16, 1835.

Mr.and Mrs.Whiting in Jerusalem were desirous that I should take a small school that Mrs.
Whiting had gathered, of Mohammedan girls.

She had in her family two girls from Beirut, Salome, (Mrs.Prof.Wortabet,) and Hanne, (Mrs.
Reichardt.) There were in school from 12 to 20 or more scholars, all Moslems.

Only one Christian girl could be persuaded to attend.

I think that the inducement they had to send their daughters was the instruction given in sewing and knitting, free of expense to them.
