Le Jeune hopes much from the hospital for the In dians, which some pious friends at home are propos ing to establish in Canada.

He also desires to establish at Quebec a semi nary for the youth of both races - the native schools at Notre Dame des Anges being too remote from the settlement, to be available for the children of the colonists.
