h in another place. Mr. Ellis also has
charge of the "Alexander High School," which is intended mainly for
teaching the rudiments of a classical education. This institution
has an excellent iron school-house, given by a wealthy citizen of
New York, at the cost of one thousand dollars, and a library and
philosophical apparatus, which cost six hundred dollars, given by a
gentleman in one of the southern States. The library contains a
supply of classical works, probably equal to the wants of the
school for some years. The land needed for the accommodation of the
school was given by the government of Liberia. The number of
scholars appears to be between twenty and thirty, a part of whom
support themselves by their daily labor. The English High School
under the care of Mr. James, had, according to the last Annual
Report, 52 scholars. At a later date, the number in both schools
was 78. Mr. James has also a large Sabbath school; but the number
of pupils is not given.

The second station is at the new settlement of Kentucky, on the
right or north bank of the St. Paul's, about fifteen miles from
Monrovia, and six miles below Millsburgh. The missionary is a
Liberian, Mr. H.W. Erskine. On a lot of ten acres, given by the
government, buildings on an economical scale have been erected, in
which is a school of twenty scholars. A church was organized in
November, 1849, with eight members from the church in Monrovia.
They have since increased to fourteen. Here, too, is a flourishing
Sabbath school. The citizens, and especially the poor natives in
the neighbourhood, are extremely anxious that a boarding school
should be established. To this the Committee having charge of this
mission objects, as the expense for buildings and for the support
of pupils would be great, and would absorb funds that can be more
profitably expended on day schools.

The third station is on the Sinou river, 150 miles down the coast
from Monrovia, where, at the mouth of the river, is the town of
Greenville, and a few miles higher up, the newer settlements of
Readville and Rossville. It is under the care of the Rev. James M.
Priest. The number of communicants, at the latest date, was thirty,
and the field of labor was rapidly enlarging by immigration. The
station is new, and it does not
