SPRING TERM AT CEDAR LAKE
By J. G. Lamson
THE Cedar Lake Industrial Academy offers to those who desire to obtain an elementary education a three-months' term, beginning February 21 and closing May 15. In many ways this term will be a special one, and every effort will be put forth to give those who attend just the instruction they may need. There will be classes in the fundamental branches; and even older persons, who have not had the advantages of early education, but who have a desire to improve, will find in this school just the place for study. The academy will be in a better position this term than ever before to carry on the work for which the school was founded. The buildings are comfortable, and several different branches of work are offered the students. Several hundred dollars' worth of tents are to be made, the Field Echoes is to be published weekly, a large amount of wood is to be cut, and any amount of farm work is to be done. The expense of attending the academy is comparatively small. By faithful labor a reasonable number of hours, the money expense may be reduced to only eight dollars a month, while one may work less and pay more if he desires. The United Typewriter and Supplies Company, of Detroit, having consented to the writer's release, the academy board at its last meeting asked him to connect again with the academy as principal, and the action was given immediate effect. Elder H. D. Day will remain as business manager, and Mrs. J. G. Lamson will again become preceptress. Inasmuch as the time is very short till the beginning of the new term, I would like to ask that every person interested in the welfare of the Cedar Lake School make an earnest and immediate effort to send students here. If any who read this item know of youth in Michigan who should have the advantages of a training in a Christian school, I hope they will do all in their power to get such to come. I shall be pleased to have friends of the school send the names of those who might be induced to come; and this, too, is a missionary work, in which nearly all may have a part. Remember the date of the new term, and be quick to write. J. G. LAMSON, Principal.
