the people known today as the Kikuyu.]

First out-school built from Kinyona station
[I.20. The man on the far right is probably Jesse Raynor. Facilities
which were maintained by the mission staff but which were some
distance from a major mission station were called out-stations, out-schools,
etc. Collins wrote in 1912, "We have two out-schools now from our station
at Kinyona, at distances of one and one-and-one-half hours respectively.
The two boys in charge of them are our only baptized boys. They are our
only married boys too . . . . They and their wives constitute our little native
church. We hope soon to have others."]
