A Way to Earn a Year's Schooling
By C. B. Hughes
THE Southern Publishing Association, Nashville, Tenn., offers to pay the expenses of a student in Keene Academy for one year of eight months if the student will sell subscription books to the amount of one hundred and ninety dollars, and pay that entire amount to the association. The books must all be obtained from the Southern Publishing Association, and the full retail value be returned to them. While canvassing and delivering, expenses could be paid by taking orders above this amount, selling helps, or securing assistance from friends. Before taking up this work, some canvassers' institute should be attended. There will be such an institute held at Keene Academy just before the close of school. This will be especially for the students of the academy, but others are welcome. This certainly ought to appeal to those who wish to enter Keene Academy, but are not financially able to do so. It is now about eight months until the next academy year begins. This will afford ample time for those who begin at once to sell the required number of books. The past year has been a very prosperous one for our academy. Our debt has been paid, some important improvements have been made, and others will be completed before another year begins. We offer still more advanced work than we have in the past, and it is the plan of the managers to continually strengthen our school; so we can confidently say that we offer more advantages the coming year than ever before. This school is the training-school for the Southwestern Union Conference, and we shall endeavor to make it just what such a school ought to be. A great tide of immigration is pouring into Oklahoma and Texas at the present time, which makes the territory of this union conference a good field for labor. Any who are interested in the offer stated above are invited to correspond with the writer, at Keene, Tex. C. B. HUGHES.
