New Location for Southern Training School

A RECENT number of Field Tidings announces that after careful search through different sections of Georgia, Alabama, and Tennessee, a farm about one and one-half miles from Ooltewah Junction, Tenn., has been chosen as the new location for the Southern Training School. Elder W. H. Branson says: “This farm is situated in a beautiful little valley bounded on three sides by small mountains. The land has been inspected by agricultural experts, who pronounce it good. There are two large springs of pure water on the place, which will furnish an abundant supply the year round. Railroad facilities are excellent. There are several buildings on the place. One of these is a large ten-room house, which is in good repair, and will furnish accommodations to twenty-five or thirty students. The other buildings, which consist of several cottages, barns, shops, etc., can be utilized in some way. Ooltewah is a little village of about five hundred inhabitants, fourteen miles north of Chattanooga. The people of the village welcomed the news that we planned to establish our school near them, and are making efforts to raise money to help in the enterprise. Our great need now is funds with which to buy this farm and begin work. We trust that the Spirit of God will impress many to give of their means to help this important movement.”
