- "The Capron Hall School was the first school in Madura, Tamil Nadu; begun in the early 1800s, it focused on women's education and was named for American founder Sarah Hooker Capron, a 40-year missionary in India. The conversation is a clever exchange between two girls that describes what it was like to live there, the courses of study, recreation, how one girl got her parents to let her attend, their fears and so on."--Vendor's description.
