LAST week we promised “to speak” of this matter more definitely. We now wish to say that our next term will commence, if there is no preventing providence, Monday, Dec. 15, 1873. Owing to the fact that the present term commenced so late, and was hindered nearly two weeks by the Conference, we shall have no vacation, and probably none through the holidays. The next term will continue twelve weeks, and will be the most important one by far, that has been held. Our advantages are much improved on account of the new building in which the school is at present domiciled. Bro. Sidney Brownsberger, a graduate of the State University of Michigan, and a successful teacher, will instruct the higher classes. Bro. G. H. Bell, an experienced teacher, well known to those who have attended school here in the past, will teach the more common branches. Other teachers, if necessary, will be provided. The languages will be taught, if desired. Bro. Uriah Smith will give Bible lectures if there are those who wish to qualify themselves for the work of teaching the truth. And we trust there will be many such who will come from different parts of the country. The winter season is the most favorable portion of the year to devote to mental improvement.
