Walla Walla College Opens With Large Attendance
We learn by a letter from Prof. C. C. Lewis, the president of Walla Walla College, that that institution opened September 3 with an attendance of one hundred and nineteen, which increased during the first week to one hundred and thirty-eight, including forty in the church school. This is a larger number than has been present at any previous opening, with one exception. Mrs. Lewis has charge of the first four grades of the model church school, in which teachers preparing for church-school work are given special training. Professor Lewis writes: “We are much pleased with our new field of labor, and our hearts are filled with courage in the work, and with thankfulness to the Lord that he has given us a place in the closing message.” This is the second of our institutions to report a most encouraging opening of the school year. We shall be glad to hear from the others.
