Maplewood Academy

By O. O. Bernstein

THE Maplewood Academy has now closed its second year's history. The school was in progress about thirty-five weeks, and during this time one hundred and two were enrolled. Among these the following nationalities were represented: English, thirty-three; German, nineteen; Swede, seventeen; Norwegian, twelve; Danish, five; Irish, four; Bohemian, three; Dutch, two; French, one; Polish, one; Scotch, one; Mexican, one; Swiss, one; and African, one.

The enrolment exceeded that of the first year by forty, and the outlook for our future is very encouraging. But unless our quarters are enlarged it will be utterly impossible to provide for the growth which we may consistently expect. We may be obliged to limit our attendance this coming year.

About ten of our students will be connected directly with some line of gospel work this summer. It has taken two of our students only one month in the canvassing field to earn their scholarship for this next year. Each of these boys have since taken as high as seventy-five dollar's worth of book orders in a single week.

It seems to me that from all of our intermediate schools, as well as from our colleges, we ought to find recruits for the canvassing field. Surely our boys have demonstrated that “the canvassing work is to be revived.”

We have all felt that God has greatly blessed our work as an academy, and this second year's history can honestly be written in the one word, “Success.” Those desiring our catalogue should address Maplewood Academy, Maple Plain, Minn. O. O. BERNSTEIN.
