UNION COLLEGE SUMMER SCHOOL.
By L. A. Hoopes
In harmony with an action of the Union College Board of Managers, arrangements have been made to conduct a summer school at College View, Neb., in connection with the college and the sanitarium. There are three important phases of our educational work to be considered at this school, which will open about July 23, and close the middle of September. School of Health.—Special instruction will be given to this question, after which a practical illustration will be given by conducting such a school for those not of our faith, in the city of Lincoln. Church School Work.—Much more study must be given the question of church schools in our various churches. There are many perplexing questions to be solved. Much time will be given to the consideration of this subject. Many churches desiring church schools, could have such schools if they could get properly trained teachers, and could have some instruction concerning how to proceed. To this end, we ask for a hearty co-operation of all who have taught in our church schools, and all who contemplate teaching, and of all the churches who desire to have a teacher provided for them. It may be that you already have a State superintendent who looks after this work. That will be so much the better. You can render us valuable assistance. Time will be given to the consideration of the industrial features of our educational work. The cultivation of the soil,—gardening, the growing of small fruits and fruit trees; and general mechanical industries, and how these can be made a part of our educational system, both in small and in large schools, will be thoroughly studied. All these various lines of study will be conducted under thoroughly competent instructors, with good facilities. All contemplating taking a course at this school should correspond with me at as early a date as possible, so that arrangements can be made in due time. L. A. HOOPES, Pres. Union College.
