The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1898-06-09
An Institution of Which One Can be
Proud.
IS BECOMING WIDELY KNOWN
And is of No Small Importance in the Growth
and Development of this Community.

Next week closes the fourth year
of Weiser Academy. Each year
shows more clearly the value of this
institution to the community and the
state. The enrolment has been fifty
percent more than before, and notwith
standing an epidemic of measles in
the fall, the attendance has remained |
good, and the work accomplished |
satisfactory Marked improvement
has been made in the equipment of
the Academy: Marian Lee Hall has
received over four hundred dollars
worth of new furniture; books have
constantly been added to the library
and, most important of all, two hun
dred dollars worth Of physical appa
ratus has been provided for the lab
ratory, thus enabling the Academy to
offer every needed facility for the
study of physics. Other improve
ments are in contemplation for next
year, which will still further benefit
the school. 1t is the policy of the
school not to stand still, but to make
some signal advancement with each
wear. Word reaches us from the
East that no Western school is more
widely or favorably known, and
Pres Upton is frequently in receipt
of letters from those desiring posi-
tions on the Academy teaching staff
If there ever existed any opposi-
ton to this school in the community
the day for such Il feeling has forever
passed away. The Academy is do
Z ing more for the community than can
81 well be imagined 1t has advertised
Weiser among scores OF thousands
of people all over the country.
Some are contemplating making their
homes here on account of the school.
1t has brought each year about fouI
thousand dollars into the town. TO be
expended among our people. Thus,
Of itself is no small matter in vii
lace of this size And the "Acade
my Young People" are the life anC
pride of the village on every public
'- occasion. If this school were to b
f, removed from our midst, its los
would be nspeakably felt. Othe
places are anxious TO get it, Le
Weiser show her interest in it ant
foster it. 1t is hoped that the Who'll

ment week, and that it will becom
II one of the important annual event
