Plainview Academy

By G. C. GEORGE

PLAINVIEW ACADEMY, in Redfield, S. Dak., opened September 16 with an enrollment a little better than last year, and the enrollment has continued to be better, comparing month with corresponding month. Our students are a fine class of young people, generally speaking, and are here for earnest work. At present the enrollment is ninety-two, and others are planning to attend.

Some improvements have been made in our facilities for caring for our stock. A silo fourteen by thirty-four feet has been erected, the students doing the work. This, with our old silo, gives us abundant storage for feed for our stock. We have at present thirty-five cows and young stock, also six horses. The products of the farm are sufficient to supply the stock, and the garden has provided the kitchen with vegetables. We also had four hundred bushels of potatoes more than the kitchen would use, and have disposed of them.

We are installing a bake oven, and plan to make our own bread. A room has been fitted up as a bakery. We also are planning to remodel our carpenter shop, and expect, before long, to have a very convenient place in which to carry on that industry.

The spiritual atmosphere of the school is excellent, and the teachers are working together in harmony. A day was set apart for the Harvest Ingathering campaign. Many students took part, and $107 was gathered.

G. C. GEORGE, Principal.
