Lodi Academy

By J. H. Paap

Another school year has opened at the academy, and the attendance is encouraging. In the academic grades there are 96 enrolled, and in the lower grades 71. This is better than last year.

In industrial lines we offer agriculture, carpentry (four years), sewing, cooking, wickerwork, drawing, and wireless telegraphy. This last subject is offered for the first time this year.

We are gradually approaching the standards set by the council at St. Helena. Our science department is being added to each year, and last summer we spent over $300 in new laboratory equipment. Our library is gradually growing, two hundred new books having been added the past year. The dormitories have been painted, and the academy building is being painted now. We now have fiber runners in the chapel aisles and hallways. This is a great help in keeping the building quiet. We are looking for and expecting a successful year. J. H. Paap.
