Beechwood (Ind.) Academy

By C. L. Stone

NINE school days have passed into history at this writing, since the opening of Beechwood Academy, and they have been days filled with work, but withal pleasant ones.

The enrolment up to the present is forty-six, with a larger per cent in the Home than at any previous time in the school's history. Some of the resident students finished the school last year and year before, thus cutting down to a considerable extent the resident attendance. Our Home is comfortably filled, and the boys' dormitory is filled to its capacity. Many of the best students of last year returned, so that the atmosphere of the Home was easily revived.

Not a large per cent of the students worked for a scholarship the past season. However, six earned more or less toward a scholarship. Some spent a large part of the summer at camp-meetings, or at the Mount Vernon Convention, or were engaged in other pursuits during the canvassing season.

The faculty feel especially thankful for the good class of students the Lord has sent to us, and have bright hopes for the success of the year's work. The prospect is good for a much larger attendance when the fall work is done.
