Transcript (If available)

Content Arriving in Oorfa in September, 1900, she says, “The
land never looked so drear, or the home so in need of paint
and polish, but I am exceedingly happy in being here; glad
to find my helpers all well and the children—how they have
grown!”

She had, however, a real disappointment in failing to
bring with her a trained and efficent young man to take
charge of the boys and their work, and it was not until four
years later that she found the man needed—Mr. George
Gracey of Belfast, Ireland. Now began systematic work
with the boys. A tailor shop and shoe shop were opened, also
shops for carpentry and iron work. ‘The boys were allowe
small wages for their work which was paid to them when
they graduated and was often suficient to start them in
their trade,

Many times manual labor roused the boys to better
intellectual work, while working together also helped to

ce prejudice, as there were Moslem apprentices
in the shops and occasionally a Hindu

Farming was an important part of their training, for
the people of that region needed to be taught how to culti-
vate the soil. Considerable livestock was owned and cared
for by the school, and the extra buildings necessary were
put up by the boys

‘That Miss Shattuck was a woman of strong faith and
wide vision is shown in a letter concerning the industrial
work. She wrote, "I feel the great need of bringing forward
the common people more, although the thought of others is
for educated strong leaders in school and pulpit work. I
favor that heartily, but feel we need also skilled workmen to
support such leaders and appreciate them. I would like
manual labor not to be so despised by our college graduates
