SOUTH LANCASTER ACADEMY will hold an institute for church school teachers, Bible workers, and others, for four weeks, beginning July 7 and ending August 3. It is the purpose of the managers of the academy to do all that they can to make it possible for every church school teacher and Bible worker in the Atlantic Union Conference to attend this institute. There are many young people who are teaching in the public schools, or who are engaged in some other pursuit not directly connected with the cause, who by availing themselves of the benefits of this institute might be able to enter directly into the work of the Master.
Elder H. W. Cottrell, Elder and Mrs. S. N. Haskell, together with members of the academy and sanitarium faculties, will act as instructors in this institute. Bible studies on Daniel and Revelation, the sanctuary, and other doctrinal points, will be held, and courses of instruction will be given in Bible work, pedagogy, child study, methods of teaching, various ways of making the Bible the basis of school work, sloyd, cooking, sewing, simple treatments, music, and other lines of study and discussion which will benefit those engaged in the work. It is designed to arrange the work so that each one may have the benefit of all the instruction given.
Those in charge of the work are so anxious that every one who desires may have the advantage of the school, that the academy home will be opened, and no charge will be made for room and tuition. A charge to cover the expense of board will, however, be made. This23will be about three dollars a week. If more attend than we have rooms for, we will endeavor to make provision for them in the academy building, or in tents which may be pitched.
We desire that this institute shall be attended by many people who have home duties, and yet who can by such a course of study qualify themselves to do work for the Lord in their own neighborhoods.
Further announcement of the institute will be made, and we shall be glad to correspond with those who may think of attending. We desire all to file applications, and blanks for this purpose will be sent upon request. Address Frederick Griggs, South Lancaster, Mass.
