Laurelwood Industrial Academy, Gaston, Ore.
By R. W. Airey
ACCORDING to announcement we began another year's work in the Laurelwood Academy September 25. The prospect at the beginning is the most encouraging in the history of the school. We have about fifty as bright and interesting young people in attendance now as ever entered the school, and many others expect to enter soon who are detained either by fruit picking or by the finishing of their canvassing work. Erelong we expect to have all we can accommodate. The members of our canvassing class have done excellent work this year, and they are coming back full of zeal and enthusiasm. The general agent told me that they had done better than any other class in this union conference. The most important and significant fact to me, however, is that the majority of those who have entered have a definite purpose in mind; and that is to prepare for some place in the Lord's work. Our daily prayer is that the Lord will give wisdom so that they may be directed aright. R. W. AIREY.
