The Western Slope Academy

By A. M. Woodall

The Western Slope Academy is located in one of the most pleasant little towns in the west, Palisade, Colo.

This academy opened Wednesday, Oct. 2, 1907, with fifty bright young people and children.

The school board has done all that is necessary to make the building, seats, and surroundings comfortable. And the desire of the teachers is to teach and impress the principles of Christian education upon the minds of the pupils until the image of God is restored in the soul. We expect to hold up before our students the importance of a special training that will quickly prepare them to help carry this message to the world in this generation.

We have made some changes in the books, and we expect to use only the text-books that are recommended by the educational convention. We are desirous of having our school on a higher plane year after year. This year we have grades from one to ten, and higher work can be obtained if desired.

We have arranged to have a class in Christian education, and before the close of the year we will take up “methods,” so any one in the conference who expects to teach next year, or in the near future, will no doubt find it helpful to come and join us in our study. Those taking this class will be expected to take practise teaching in the primary.

We shall be glad to correspond with those who desire to enter school.

A. M. WOODALL.
