Quoted in the past it is to be hoped
that the coming year will see it in a
still more t1ourishing condition than
before.
The meeting last Thursday was for
the purpose of considering the future
plans of the Seminary The meeting
had been called for three o'clock, but
as all who had been expected were not
able to reach here in time an adjourn-
ment was taken until seven O'Clock in
the evening. President L O. Thorpe
of the board of directors arrived here
on the evening train from St. Paul.
There are about twenty ministers in
terested in the school, of which the
following were present from out of

parisOn with similar institutions in
the state to be quite encouraging
The present year is an "off year, at
some of the schools of this character
in point of attendance, several causes
contributing to this state of affairs.
One of the causes from which the Sem
mary has suffered of late may be the
lack of patronage due to the destruc-
tive hail storm of last summer, many
farmers feeling unable to, sead their
children TO this school as a result.
A big item of expense which figures
strongly in the financial affairs of the
institution is the salary of teachers,
the school having always maintained
most competent and efficient corps
of instructors, believing that the stu.
dents who attend are entitled to receive
the best instruction possible. While
the expense of maintaining the school
has been quite high as compared with
