he was safe in saying that within two
years the school will have an endowment
of several hundred thousand dollars. Upon
these figures the management bases it's as
sertion that within few years the school
will become one of the greatest institu,

work his way through the school. A
number of scholarships have already
been provided in anticipation of the open

offered by John Willis Baer, of Boston,

Society of Christian Endeavor. Other
offers nave come from all parts of the
country.
