With the coming Of the annual COIN
ncpnent exercises of the AnnGn.
ticn academy. interest centers
pe more on the work ct this great
cati0nal institution, and the eyes
Pine Bluffians are turned toward
work accomplished during the
year. Perhaps nowhere can be
md more complete and reliable
bibition of similar institution s ac
hplishments than the Annunciation
BIRDS its patrons and the public gen
lilly in it's splendid art display. =
kture that. if not peculiar TO this
ECol, has at least the virtue ri h.
a mcst commendable one.
Annunciation academy is distinc
ely an industrial school:
it may be safely stat
that the idea is nowhere
FRIED out to a greater degree of com
eteness and perfection than here,
here the boys and girls are taught
i alcne the value of indusry from an
|onomical standpoint. but also from
mental and even a spiritual stand
)int. Here the pupils are taught to
gard work not so much for its pc
hilary advantages as for it's relation
the better part of mans and wo-
Rns life-life in its higher and no.
FER meaning. They are taught tC love
(eir work. too-love it for its Gwn
Ike. They are taught to regard il as
blessing, not a curse: to love it. not
erely tolerate it,
