COLLEGE OPENS.
The Second Term Begins Next Tuesday,
January d.

The first term which closed little
more than a week ago was remarkable
in several ways. 1t Furnished the most
splendid testimony of the confidence OF
the people. When Cornell University
was afflicted with typhoid fever, about
one third of the students failed to re-
turn; when the same affiiction came
upon Alma College it gratefully reported
to the Synod of Michigan the loss OF
only one student in consequence. The
difference lay in the fact that in the one
case there were believed to be perma-
nent conditions promoting the dread dis
ease, in the other the germs were man
ifestly imported and remained but for a
day This has been proven by the eNpe-
rience of the last term. Ii there had
been permanent local conditions favor
ing the trouble there' would have been
new cases. None such occurring, the
conclusion is inevitable The germs are
not here. Even the most timid there
fore may face the future with absolute
confidence. That this has been the
effect upon the public mind is evident
from the large number of students who
have made their arrangements to come
to college at the opening OF the next
term. This is especially true OF young
men. The inadequacy of Pioneer Hall
is not only apparent; but the homes
near the college are taxed almost to the
limit in furnishing rooms for the young
people.
Our readers will be pleased to know
that Miss Bushnell. the efficient head OF
the Piano Department in the School OF
Music, who has spent six months in Ger
many, will return and reenter upon her
work on January o.
Miss Booth, who from the beginning
of the college has guided the work of
the School of Fine Art, but who has for
couple of months been i'll at her home
in Detroit. will be back in the studio on
January 8.
This will be good time for students
to enter who cannot take the full
courses. Studies in Commercial School,
in Stenography, in Typewriting, in
Music and in Art may be undertaken at
any time with equal advantage. They
may be pursued as long as desired and
credits will be given for all the work
accomplished. This is the time for
students to enter who have no special
work for the winter. The boys on TIE
farm should make the most Of this op-
portunity to improve their condition by
taking such studies as they can during
the winter months and early spring.
Alma College is here to extend an en-
couraging hand to all ambitious young
people who aspire to the better things of
life.
Our eloquent fellow -townsman, Mr..
L. A. Sharp, will address the the students
and friends of the college on January 3
in the college chapel. The exercises
will begin at s .45 q. IN.

The Baby stars.

Did you ever hear the fairy tale In
which the sun and moon are womenI
No? Well, you must sit down and hear
IL right away. At one time the sun had
as many children as the moon. The
children of the moon, you know, are
the stars. But, fearing that the world
could not stand so much brightness
both the sun and moon agreed to eat up
their own babies. The sun kept her
word. but the moon could not eat her
own little children, so she hid them
from the sun, but after time had to.
bring them from her hiding place.
When the sun saw the moons babies
she became very angry and chased the
moon across the sky. And then, when
the sun caught up and bit the moon,
the world said we had an eclipse. But
now, all the day long, the moon hides
her babies and brings them out at
night, when the sun Is far away.-Ex-

A GOOD OUTLOOK.
The Sanitarium and Alma tn Receive
support of One of Miohigan's Best
Railroads.

Mr.. J. j. Kirby, of Toledo, General
Passenger Agent of the Ann Arbor
Railroad, was guest at the sanitarium
this week.
Mr.. Kirby came to Alma on the in
vitation of Mr.. Mix TO hold conference
relative to getting the Railroad Com
pany's support and interest for Alma's
great institution. Mr.. Kirby is highly
pleased with Alma and her attractions,
and this coming season promises to make
every effort such as reduced rates, train
service, advertising, etc, to bring people
to the sanitarium. He has assured Mr..
Mix that four pages in their handsome
booklet this season will be devoted to
tte sanitarium and Alma, and that
twenty thousand copies will be issued
and distributed free of charge to the
travelling public.
The Railroad Company working for
the success of the sanitarium means a
great deal for Alma if for no other rea-
son, from financial standpoint. The
citizens of our city should put their
shoulders to the wheel and exert every
effort possible to bring people here and
make the sanitarium a success. An
average of one hundred guests there
would mean the distribution of from
seventy-five to one-hundred thousand
dollars per year among our business
houses. The Railroad Company is
helping us, now let us help ourselves.
