One of these houses had been provided by the Administration to accommodate young chiefs from Busoga, for whom it was considered important that they should be removed for a time from undesirable home influences, and trained in a way more likely to qualify them for taking their part worthily in the government of their country. The work of these boarding-houses is now in full swing, and they must form a very valuable adjunct to the day school. We shall not soon forget our visit to this latter institution. The large grass-thatched building was well filled, and all the boys seemed to be working keenly at their lessons, while the teachers were throwing themselves heartily into the work of imparting knowledge. The most interesting class was a gathering of senior boys, many of them practically grown up, who were receiving systematic Bible-teaching from Mr. Hattersley himself.
