JARVIS CHRISTIAN INSTITUTE. Principal: J. N. Ervin. A small elementary school owned and maintained by the Christian Woman's Board of Missions. According to the report of this board there were 14 pupils and 3 colored workers in 1913-14. The income amounted to $1,712, of which Si,680 was from the Christian Woman's Board of Missions and $32 from tuition and other sources. The plant, estimated value $3,000, consists of 10 acres of land, several small buildings,1 and meager equipment. Recommendation.—There is a present need for this school, but with the development of the public schools it should become part of the public-school system or be combined with one of the largex institutions.
