Forest Home (Wash.) Industrial Academy
By L. I. STILES.
THE first year’s existence of the Forest Home Industrial Academy came to a close June 16, and the closing exercises were held Sunday afternoon, June 18. This school opened last September. It is situated in the northern part of the Western Washington Conference, about seven miles from the shores of Puget Sound, and four miles from Mt. Vernon. The school was dedicated without any encumbrances, and it is the purpose of the management to keep clear from debt. Thirty-seven have been enrolled during the year, and the school has been a little more than self-supporting. Eight of the students were baptized at the last quarterly meeting, and some others are expecting to go forward in this ordinance at the camp-meeting. The school is small, but God is with us. His Spirit has been working, and we trust the results will be large.
