Sheyenne River Academy, Harvey, N. D.
By N. W. Lawrence
THE school has opened with a larger attendance from the start than ever before, and with a much better grade of students as a whole. We have an enrolment of forty-five, with forty-three in actual attendance at the middle of the second month of the school year. Forty-five crowds our building, yet we are going to place the limit this year at fifty. In so doing, we shall be obliged to cut off some who would like to come; but it is too much to ask students to crowd in closer—with us even fifty means three in all rooms, four and five in some. But the students themselves are willing to do so till another dormitory can be provided. The spirit of industry and gentility prevails, and a live regard for the work of the message is prominent. We are, however, poorly located for much house-to-house missionary work, but correspondence is being taken up by the two Young People's Societies, together with special work with the Signs. I presented the matter of the Latin field training-school to the school family this week, and they voted to raise their proportion29for this enterprise. So the Department of Education may count on from forty to fifty dollars from the Sheyenne River Academy in the course of a few weeks. While this institution is among the least of the rapidly growing sisterhood of schools in our work, yet we feel that God continually favors us by his Spirit, and by blessing our every effort for good.
