Capetown, South Africa, Oct.
23d. In a report of Dr. Viljoen,
Superintendent of Education for
he emphasized the
the difficulties encountered by his
department in securing funds and
preachers.
There are at present in Cape
Providence, under the depart
ment of Education, 2524 schools
for European pupils, 426 schools
for colored pupils, of which 409
are under church mission control,
and 1502 native schools.
There are certain numbers of
Earpean industrial schools in
Cape Providence, which are one
of the costliest branches of edm»
cation. As these schools arejw
der control of the Union Govern
.V*
ment as well as the Provincial
Administration, there has been
difficulty in organizing them on a
uniform basis.
With regard to non-European
education, Dr. Viljoen says there
is an even greater need of re orir
and process than is the ease with
European schools. There are
48,809 colored pupils under the
department, and 117.776 native
pupils. The colored schools in
Cape Town are overcrow deci, so
that in one school plan is being
tried of teaching in “shifts” us

LIFE AT JERUEL
The team work that has been
exhibited by the Jeruel auxilia
ries during the past associational
year brought things to pass. It. was
that that made possible the splen
did reports that were read at the
annual nv eting last week. These
reports were a great relief to Prof.
Lyons and his earnest c rps o 1
teachers the gravity and strain of
whose work only tho e who have
been similarly engaged can un
derstand. A brighter air seems
to pervadethe campus since this
report was made.
The teachers are the same as
last year with one exception.
Their names follow: Prof. C. H.
S. Lyons, principal, Mrs. Ophe

Miss Mattie Morse, Mrs. Julia
