Cedar Lake Industrial Academy Fourth Annual Announcement
The fourth annual announcement of the Cedar Lake (Mich.) Industrial Academy is attractive in appearance, being well illustrated, and gives the necessary information to those who wish to know of the general plan of work and the specific conditions and arrangements. The following apt quotation is made, to express the aim of the institution: “Students shall go forth with educated efficiency, so that when thrown upon their own responsibility, they will have knowledge that they can use, which is essential to practical life.” The courses of study are something of a departure from the stereotyped plan, in that the general field of work is laid out, but there is no rigid limitation of the subjects to specific times of the year, and to a certain number of weeks. It is evidently the purpose of the management to deal as far as possible with the individual student. We commend this plan as an excellent one. The parents and young people in Michigan especially ought to secure a copy of this announcement. Address the principal, J. G. Lamson, Cedar Lake, Mich.
