From the Schools

THERE were over two thousand more pupils enrolled in our church-schools last year than the previous year.
SOUTH LANCASTER and Keene Academies are both equipping new normal buildings, which they hope will be ready for the winter term.
PROF. C. S. LONGACRE says that South Lancaster Academy began with a larger attendance than last year, and that the school will be full to overflowing.
PROF. FREDERICK GRIGGS writes: “Our school is opening up in good form. We have more students in the home now than we had at any time in 1911-12. We may not be able to reach our four-hundred mark in students, but we are certainly endeavoring to do so.”
PROF. O. J. GRAF writes: “School opened last Tuesday with an unusually large attendance, notwithstanding the fact that it was early in the week, and also early in the month. We had the largest opening enrolment in recent years,—175 against 102 of last year. At present we have 175; at the same time last year, we had 116. And what gives us more encouragement than the increase in numbers is the excellent character of the students. Our first Friday evening vesper service was one of great inspiration. Dozens were standing, waiting for an opportunity to express their determination to make this school year the best in their lives. The Sabbath service was so well attended that we had to seat a part of the congregation on the choir platform, to make room for all. We thank the Lord for his blessing to us.”
