The enrolment of the Emmanuel Missionary College on November 11, was one hundred three. The music studio, now building, is nearly ready for occupancy.

Walla Walla College on November 2 had an enrolment of three hundred ten, about one hundred of whom are in the normal department. Prof. M. E. Cady reports that everything in the school is moving along well.

The Department of Education is continually in receipt of inquiries which are well answered in the “Church-School Manual.” Not only will the conscientious teacher find this book of constant help in his work, but parents will also find it useful in meeting the problems that arise in the education of their children.

Brother R. G. Ryan, principal of the Shenandoah Valley Academy, at New Market, Va., reports an attendance of twenty-six, with sixteen in the school home. Every student in the home is a professed Christian. The Missionary Volunteer Society of the school is doing excellent work, and a good spirit prevails in all the work.

The brethren of the Lake Union Conference are raising two thousand dollars for the purpose of better equipping their schools with libraries, laboratories, and other necessary apparatus. Among the things to be purchased is a five-inch telescope for the union college. This money is to be subscribed in shares of fifty cents each. Three hundred shares were subscribed by the college students in a few minutes when the plan was made known to them, and there will doubtless be a general response.

South Lancaster Academy is now lighted by electricity. The exhaust steam from running the dynamo is used to heat the home. This arrangement is proving satisfactory, and is effecting a large saving. A pipe-line is now being laid from the home to the academy, and it is the purpose to heat the academy from the steam plant at the home. It is thought that this can be accomplished with little loss of steam. This school has recently been quarantined for a few days on account of two or three slight cases of scarlet fever, but the quarantine has been lifted, and work is progressing as usual.
