From the reports being received, it would appear that the outlook for our church-schools for the coming year is very encouraging, as there seems to be an increase in the number of schools opening.

Elder M. D. Mattson, who has for the past nine years been connected with the South Lancaster Academy as instructor in Bible and history, has accepted a call to a position on the faculty of Union College, College View, Neb., as teacher in Bible.

The Avondale School for Christian Workers is making advancement in industrial education. One of its latest features is the publication of the Australian Good Health, edited by Dr. D. H. Kress. This will afford a valuable educational feature to this school.

We are in receipt of a very neat little announcement of the Pacific Press Training-school, conducted under the auspices of the board of managers of the Pacific Press Publishing Company. In speaking of the purpose of this school, the announcement says, “The object of the school is to develop true Christian workers,—Christians in business, in deal, in work, in business courtesy, in all things which make for the highest manhood and womanhood,—intelligent workers, having the mastery of themselves and of their work in disciplined minds and skilled hands. The design of the school is to make its education highly practical, the best theories and systems, as far as daily work and environments will permit, reduced to faithful, concrete doing.” The object of this school as thus stated, should be that of every one of our schools, and these words may well be studied by teachers and students. May the blessing of God broaden, deepen, and strengthen this new effort.
