Education in Greece.—The efficacy of the operations of the missionaries in the schools established at Athens, the confidence of the Government and its favor towards them, are confirmed by recent letters from that city. Mr. Hill who has the charge of the female and infant school department, writes as follows, under date of July.

"It is just three years since we commenced actively, the work" which we hoped would shed intellectual, moral and religious light on this People, and it has been made to prosper. We have just been highly encouraged by testimony of the confidence of the king and government, in a "Royal Ordinance" communicated to us and accompanied by a letter from the "Ministre de Instruction Publique et des cultes!" Twelve girls are to be placed at the Institution under our charge, to be educated for teachers, at the expense of the Government. This measure will, we hope, stimulate the friends of the work we are engaged in to greater exertions for its support and extension. There are no bounds to the good that may be done here if the means are provided. The work in Athens alone demands another family."
