The Next Term of School.
By Geo. I. Butler
It is now time to speak in the paper to those who are anxious to attend the next term of school. As this is the winter term, and as that season of the year is the one when persons can best find time to devote to study, we expect a large number will desire to attend. We are most happy to say that one of our greatest difficulties will now be obviated. Heretofore we have been obliged to convene our school in the meeting-house, a building not well adapted to school purposes, but which was the best we could do under the circumstances. This has been furnished for several terms by the kindness of the church here. But now that the new Office building has been completed, we can enter much more suitable quarters. We have seated the two main rooms, and we do not see how we could have more pleasant quarters. They will comfortably seat 125 scholars, and there are several smaller rooms, also, which can be used if necessary. Our present term ends Dec. 14, and the next term will commence soon after, we are not prepared to state the exact time in this article. We expect religious lectures will be connected with the next term. Opportunity will be given for the study of the languages as well as for all the branches usually taught in our high schools. We expect to have a first-class school, in which there will be a high tone of moral sentiment, and great opportunities for mental discipline. We are determined it shall be second to none. There are many of our young men who are busy in the summer season who could profitably spend a few months in school, to prepare them for greater usefulness in the cause of God, as well as the business of this world. Board will be reasonable. We will give more particulars next week. Battle Creek, Mich., Nov. 23, 1873.
