The work was completed about the 18th of August and opened by Viceroy Tiên on the 21st. The following day, my colleague, the only two representatives of the missionary staff in the city for the moment, were invited by the governor of the College to pay a visit of inspection. We were mitch struck by the really fine new en trance to the buildings; these I might say are built on the bank of a branch of the Cassia River, and thus lend themselves more readily to the builder's art A row of trees has been planted along the front, and a good stone parapet running along the river bank puts a finishing touch to a good promenade. The entrance is wholly foreign in nature, the gate itself is about eight feet high and is a fair copy of a foreign open-work gate, and is flanked by iron palisading. A broad cement path, with flowers and shrubs on either side, leads up to the door under the clock tower, which is the entrance proper to the school buildings.

On the right and left are nice rooms with glass windows. One room is for the sale of books for the students, another is for the College treasurer Opposite the entrance door is a fine building, built in foreign style, and baving glass windows and doors. This is the reception room, and here we were receiv ed by the genial "head," who seized our um. brellas as we entered and promptly deposited them in a stand just inside the door, and then

boys, the latter ranging from twelve to sixteen years of age. All have to agree to stay for four years. They are allowed their rice and two suits of clothes a year.
