The Secretary on December 9 called on F. W. Perkins in Georgetown and on Hugh Mitchell at Governor Dummer Academy, South Byfield. F. W. Perkins was just returning with his lovely daughter after her day's teaching. If there is any more beautiful sight than a father helping a daughter who is doing good work in her field, then I have not seen it.
Hugh Mitchell is very happy in his work in the Governor Dummer Academy, and the boys are becoming very fond of him, as we all expected they would.
Secretary, 57 Grove Hill Ave., Newtonville, Mass.
