We have now at Micadale a very valuable teacher, Miss Mary B. Skellie, who is sustained by kind friends at the north. She conducts admirably the very large Sunday school, and the large day school of this Mission, and she and her friend, Miss Birdsall, are most useful helpers in the church work of this mountain valley.
