BOARDERS’ UNION.

By Uriah Smith

WITH a view to the best interests of the school, those of our brethren and sisters who board, or rent rooms to, those attending the college, have organized themselves into an association under the name of “Boarders’ Union.” In their articles of organization, its object is stated thus:— “The purpose for which this organization is formed is, (1) to aid in maintaining proper discipline among the students attending Battle Creek College, (2) to enable us to have one standard by which we, who room or board students, may be governed, and thus be better prepared to co-operate unitedly with the Board of Trustees and the teachers in the school in maintaining discipline.” Among the regulations, it is stated that the members of this union shall have oversight and special care for students, and give the same attention to their general good, that they would receive from their parents at home. The object is to see that the time of the students out of school hours shall be properly spent, and correct deportment be maintained. We believe this is a move in the right direction, and that it will result in good.
