Mount Vernon Academy

By W. E. Howell

A VERY encouraging report has come in from Prof. N. S. Ashton on the opening of Mount Vernon Academy. In his letter he says:—
“We have a very fine school this year. The school home is fuller than it has been for a number of years, being taxed to its capacity. Other students are coming, and we may have to place some of them outside the home. The class of students this year is especially good.
“We have now three more tables in the dining-room than we had at any time last year. The enrolment to date is 150, and a number of others are coming. We have fourteen students taking the eighth-grade work and one hundred and thirty-six above the eighth grade. Prospects for the year are bright.”
On account of the release of some teachers for the foreign field, it has been necessary to add two new teachers this year: Prof. Arthur Robbins for the science department, and Professor Miller for the music department. Principal Ashton reports that these new teachers are well received by the students, and are building up their departments with good success.
