Lornedale (Ont.) Academy

By W. E. Hancock

I AM glad to report that this school has made progress during the year. The attendance has not been large, but it has been larger than was expected when school began in January. The brethren thought that there would not be more than ten students attending, on account of changes which had been made and other conditions, but the first week of school brought to us more than this number of students, and before a month had passed, we had about twenty. The enrolment of the school during the whole year was about twenty-five. This was as many as we could possibly accommodate with the facilities we had at that time.

During the last three weeks of school a canvassers’ institute was conducted, at which eight of the students were taking work. Six of them went out after school to sell “Christ’s Object Lessons,” and most of them have been doing exceedingly well. The conference had offered to give a year’s scholarship to the students who would go out and sell one hundred dollars’ worth of books. They have now been out a little more than three weeks, and one of the students has taken enough orders to obtain one scholarship, and more than half enough for another. W. E. HANCOCK, Principal.
