Emmanuel Missionary College.
THE number of letters received from carpenters, contractors, and builders who desire to have part in putting up the new school buildings is a source of encouragement to those who have this work in hand. The bluff on which the buildings will be erected has been surveyed, and Brother Parsons, of the firm of Parsons and Son, architects, of Des Moines, Iowa, was on the grounds this week, laying out plans for the various buildings. Work on the first of these will begin soon. Competent overseers will bear the responsibility, while student labor will be utilized as far as possible. There is work on the buildings and work on the farm. The fall term opens October 30. This is the date for entrance examinations, and with the present arrangement of work it is imperative that all students for the fall term be present on the day of opening. The college has been fortunate in obtaining the use of buildings formerly belonging to the county. These are situated in the village of Berrien Springs, and are sufficiently commodious to accommodate the school. Rooms will cost from $1.50 a month, when unfurnished, to $2.50 or $3 when furnished. Meals will be served at the college dining hall on the European plan, and the average student's board costs from $1.25 to $1.75 a week. The amount is regulated by the student himself. Tuition is ten dollars a term. The expense has been reduced to the minimum because the college was established for the express purpose of training missionaries. Its work is wholly philanthropic, and the studies offered are arranged primarily for students of maturity, who have a definite calling and can be speedily prepared. Students desiring to pay part of their expenses by manual labor will be given an opportunity to do so. Those who are obliged to pay their tuition entirely by their own labor, will be given full work by the day; and their wages, over and above living expenses, will be applied on future tuition. While doing full work as industrials, they will have classes in the night school. For this work, full credit is given. In this way a large number may earn their way in school by putting forth well-directed effort. The school is beginning a well-defined policy by which a multitude of workers may receive an education. It is hoped that the churches will heartily co-operate in the present endeavor to train missionaries. Persons desiring a Christian training, it matters not in what department, are invited to consider Emmanuel Missionary College. Calendars sent upon application. Address E. A.
