The American Missionary — Volume 32, No. 12, December, 1878

The educational work of the Association has been vigorously sustained, with increasing numbers, and at the cost of great self-denial on the part of both teachers and pupils. New buildings have been erected for the Emerson Institute at Mobile, Ala., for the Lewis High School and Norwich Chapel at Macon, Ga., for the Straight University at New Orleans, La., and for the Beach Institute at Savannah, Ga., under the supervision of Prof. T. N. Chase, of Atlanta. They are simple but commodious, and admirably adapted for their uses, better located than formerly, and cost no more than the insurance received for the buildings which they replace. The institutions of the Association are excellently located.
