Strode (Kan.) Industrial Academy

By N. W. Kauble

THIS school opened September 16, with an attendance of seventy-three. Since the opening, the attendance has increased to nearly one hundred.

God's blessing has been in evidence from the start; and while we have been laboring under disadvantages in many ways, no word of complaint has come to us from any student. We are now quite comfortably settled. The furniture is all placed, and stoves are connected, so that some of the disadvantages do not now appear. We were able to rent a building close to the school, where other young men can find rooms; so there is still room for more. We can also provide for several young ladies in another building near the school.

In more than thirty years' experience in school work, as teacher and otherwise, we never have met a more promising class of young people. It is a constant pleasure to us to labor for those who are so anxious to please their teachers, and who so earnestly strive to please God.

It seems like home to us to be thus connected with the work, although sometimes it is apparent that the family has outgrown the home.

The spiritual interests, as well as the intellectual work, are encouraging indeed. We need the prayers and co-operation of all.—N. W. Kauble, in Kansas Worker.
