Emulsion and school life in rugged canyon setting
The writer describes Scott's Emulsion as tastier and well distributed by dealers in New York. The narrative then shifts to a month of daily routine at a mission school with dormitory chores, classes, singing, hygiene talks, and Sunday worship. A canyon journey highlights stark scenery, a falls ride home, and notes on a 350 year old school fort with descendants of Richard Olney and local wealth.
