Our five girls’ schools—Tokyo, Sapporo, Kanazawa, Osaka, and Shimonoseki—caring for a total of about 1,500 girls, show faithful, solid work, an immense, even incalculable contribution to the spiritual wealth of Japan. p. 178 [speaking of Meiji Gakuin’s dire need for a more spacious campus]

Our Northern Star Girls’ School at Sapporo faces a similar, but far less costly, necessity, inasmuch as Sapporo is not the capital of the Empire. At Sapporo the plan to buy and rebuild on a larger site in the outskirts of the city can be carried through for about $50,000. It is giving as well as receiving in our schools. One of our missionaries in the Northern Star School received a letter from a friend who is a missionary among the mountaineers of West Virginia, in which she told of some of her school children offering all their little savings for a tiny Japanese doll she had received. This was told to the Northern Star girls, and the result was a stampede to sign up either to dress little Japanese dolls for the American mountain school children, or else to provide the dress materials. In November the dolls were collected and an exhibition was held at which 250 pairs of almond eyes took their last excited look at 70 dolls in soft bright kimonos before starting them on their long journey to the Cumberland Mountains. pp. 330, 333-334, 339
