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."]
