The Academy in Nova Scotia

By J. S. Washburn

CANADA and the British provinces north of the United States have but very few institutions, educational or otherwise, connected with our work, and it is certainly not extravagant that two thousand dollars from the $150,000 fund should be appropriated to the Williamsdale Academy.
Two hundred acres on a hillside, with a beautiful stream running in front of the building site, about twelve miles from Oxford Junction, has been purchased for this purpose. Already they have constructed a dormitory accommodating about thirty students, with a schoolroom. With proper care, the land will produce vegetables and grains. There is considerable timber on the place, which can be converted into lumber and wood.
The Maritime Provinces have between two and three hundred members, and this little institution is the only one in the conference, which embraces New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island. Surely every one will regard this as a worthy part of the $150,000 fund. J. S. WASHBURN.
