Winter Term at Cedar Lake.
By J. G. Lamson
It is time that all who are intending to enter school at Cedar Lake for the winter term should complete their arrangements, so that they may be able to be present at the first session, Monday morning, at ten o’clock, January 6. An effort will be made at the beginning of the winter term to place each student in just the classes he needs in order that he may be thoroughly established in the common fundamental branches of education. While higher classes will be formed if necessity arises, the main effort of the school will be to give a first-class training in those subjects which lead up to the special lines of preparation for special lines of work. The school has already formed classes in these fundamental branches, and it will not be difficult for students entering at the beginning of the winter term to find a class that will be about where they are able to work. I will be pleased to hear from any in the State who are interested in the school, and are turning their thoughts this way for the next term. The expenses, regulations, etc., will be made known upon application to the principal. We have a most excellent church school at Cedar Lake. It has been running now about six weeks. The children are making excellent progress, and are being blessed abundantly in their work. We would like to call attention to the fact that quite an amount of money has been pledged by the young people throughout the State that has not yet been sent in. We trust that all those who pledged will endeavor to pay as early as possible. This money should be directed to the Cedar Lake Academy. We are much in need of an organ, and wonder if some one does not wish to make us a Christmas present of an instrument for use in training these young people. We also need three cows immediately at Cedar Lake,—we mean cows that give milk, not young stock for beef purposes. The academy stocking is waiting to receive the gifts that may be bestowed, and we hope that the Lord will move upon some hearts to respond to our earnest calls for some of these needed properties. Those who need a special fitting up in the common branches should come to Cedar Lake. Those who have received a training in the common branches, and know that they are proficient in them, if old enough, should make arrangements with the school at Berrien Springs, that they may enter the Lord’s work with all speed. We invite correspondence from any who are interested. Don’t delay, but write immediately.
