Two of the older graduates were teachers of self-supporting schools at Nicomedia; another, whose parents lived at Trebizond, taught at Marsovan; a fourth, since married to a graduate of the Bebek seminary, devoted herself to teaching the girls in a day-school at Adabazar, in charge of the native pastor; another was mistress of a school of forty pupils at Baghchejuk; and still another had a school of forty-five girls at Diarbekir, and was otherwise a shining light.

Five were wives of pastors,--at Constantinople, Broosa, Bilijik, Harpoot, and Diarbekir; three of preachers,--at Nicomedia, Bandurma, and Aidin; and several of helpers in different places.

The school was located successively at Pera, Bebek, and Hass-Keuy; and its teachers were Miss Lovell, Mrs.Everett, and the two Misses West.
The summer heat at Adana was supposed to be too intense for the health of a missionary family.

Mr.Coffing was therefore commissioned, by his brethren, to explore the Taurus Mountains, west and north of Marash, for a suitable summer residence.

He performed this service in the autumn of 1860, accompanied by Mrs.Coffing and Deacon Sarkis.
