Forest Home Industrial Academy
We have received a copy of the annual announcement of the Forest Home Industrial Academy, located at Mt. Vernon, Wash., for the coming school year, giving the history and purposes of the institution, description of the grounds and buildings, and other suitable information. Among the industries mentioned are, clearing and cultivating land, bee culture, and carpentry. “As fast as ways and means are provided, it is expected to establish such industries as fruit canning, broom making, blacksmithing, shoemaking, etc.” This is the first of our denominational industrial schools to be established in Washington. It is located in the midst of abundant natural advantages which should contribute much to the success of such an institution.
