The School.

By James White

There are daily arrivals at Battle Creek of students to attend the fall term of our school. The whole term is seventeen weeks, thirteen of which remain. It is expected that all those who design to attend any portion of the fall term will come immediately.

The new building is progressing finely. The brick work is above the windows of the third story. The roof will soon go on. And the building will be ready for the next term of the school, to commence January 4, 1874—

Provided that means can be promptly furnished. The Publishing Association has furnished $10,000 for the building, and can spare no more. The Directors of the Health Institute offer $2,000, which will soon be used up, as receipts for the school now fall far behind expenditures.

The work must not and will not stop here. We appeal, first, to those who have pledged for the school to not only pay pledges which are due, but to advance on pledges that are due next January, as far as possible; and, second, to those who are able to do so, to loan without interest to the school in sums not less than $100 each.

Now is the time for prompt action on the part of the friends of our school. Our friends who have cash at their command which they can lend to the school for a few months are urgently invited to pass it in to help just now, and receive it back when all have paid their pledges. The work of building is progressing in the most satisfactory manner. Help, friends, and help now.

JAMES WHITE, Chairman of School Board.
