Work at Cedar Lake.

By J. G. Lamson

We know our many friends throughout the State will be glad to hear something concerning the opening at Cedar Lake. School began Monday, September 9, at 11 A. M. Twenty students were enrolled the first day. It is expected that from ten to fifteen others will join during the first month. The students are an excellent-appearing class of young people, and nearly all of them are here for the purpose of fitting themselves for service in the Master's work. Of those who have decided upon their life-work, about half desire to be nurses, and the others, teachers, business men, or bookkeepers, and one or two are looking toward mechanical pursuits as their life-work.

School begins at seven in the morning and closes at twelve. The afternoons are spent in working upon the farm or in the shop. Two students spend a portion of their time in caring for the printing work, and Field Echoes is the result of their labor. The corn is all cut, and after a little repair work is done, many of the boys will be set at work stumping.

Professor Rogers is opening an interesting course of study about nature, and we are sure that his efforts to increase the regard of young people for agricultural work will meet with success.

Only one class in Bible has been formed, and that is the first year according to the catalogue.

There seems to be a very earnest spirit among the students, and we believe that God will work for us during this coming year. Shall be glad to see our numbers increased to the limit as rapidly as the young people can get through with their fall work. J. G. LAMSON.
