The Next Term of School.
By George Ide Butler
This term will commence January 4, 1875. It will be held in our new school building where facilities are ample for the accommodation of all who will attend. Our new building is a credit to the builders and the town. It is very pleasantly situated on the high grounds opposite the Health Institute. When it is properly filled with students, earnestly engaged in qualifying themselves for usefulness, then, indeed, will the great object of its erection be met. We trust this first term will give good evidence that our people are awake to the great importance of education. We expect there will be the largest attendance, by far, that we have had since our school was instituted. The winter season is, all things considered, the most favorable in which to attend school. In addition to the ordinary branches in our own language, there will be excellent opportunities afforded to study French, German, Latin, Greek, &c. In addition to these, we have secured the services of a competent teacher in the Danish language. This will be a matter of great interest to our Danish and Norwegian people. They can now, not only pursue those studies in English which they choose to take, but become educated in their native tongue, and qualify themselves to labor among their countrymen in this or the old country. Board can be obtained at the rate of $2.50 per week. Rooms in which to board themselves are generally obtainable by students, where they can board themselves much cheaper. It is the aim of the trustees and teachers to make our school thorough in its instruction, and of high moral tone, and every way worthy of the patronage of our people. We hope there will be a large attendance of our young people from all directions the coming term. GEO. I. BUTLER.
