All the pupils have had familiar lessons on Church History in Arabic, and some of them have begun an abridged work on Moral Philosophy.

Much effort has been bestowed upon the cultivation of a taste for the reading of profitable books, and a number of the girls have read the whole of "D'Aubigne's History of the Reformation," and other history with Mrs.De Forest in the evening class, the atlas being always open before them.

Mrs.Smith has given some instruction in the rudiments of drawing to a part of the pupils, and Mrs.Bird and Mrs.Calhoun have given lessons in vocal music, for which some of the pupils have considerable taste.
"After completing the 'Companion to the Bible' in Arabic, the whole school were engaged daily in a Harmony of the Gospels, and other Biblical and religious instruction has been continued as heretofore.

We have ever kept in mind the necessity of not denationalizing these Arab children, and we believe that this desired result has been attained.

The long vacation of six weeks in the spring, and the same in the autumn, the commencement of all instruction in Arabic, and the preponderance of Arabic study in the school, have contributed to this result.
