women and girls. Women and girls
are given a marketable elucation and
one has but to read the circular an

be convinced that at last we have
a school that is not going all around
Robin Hoods Barn, but straight at
the educational problem, and will give
women and girls the kind of educa-
ton, they can use in earning hv-
ing. The courses are practical and
comprehensive.
The high moral and religious at
mosphere, makes the Institution

As usual, quite a number of visi-
tors found their way TO Lincoln
Heights this week. Misses Matte
r. Bowen, Alice Nelson, E. L. Jean,
and Ida Plummer, were among the
number who represented the city
school. All visitors are charmed at
the ideal location of the school, sur
rounded with natures choicest bles-
sings. All of our friends are sur
rrised at the progress evident by the
buildings, equipments and enrolment,
The students are girls, made of the
stern stuff who desire their lives
moulded for great service. The
president has that peculiar power that
inspires one to desire to do great
things for the race and the world.

Chapel Hour-Sunday-6.oo p. m,
is indeed interesting. Here we re-
port what we have learned from the
sermons and services we have at
ended during the day, You see to
begin with, we all have the same sub
ject, and you may think we say the
same thing-"but be ye disappointed
if you expect such. Our reports are
far from the same. Some of US see
differently-otherS hear more differ
entlv-and still others explain most
differently. Very often we all listen
to the same sermon, but if you could
hear us, you would think we were
even in different cities. If you have
the blues or any ailment-come to
Lincoln and hear the Sunday reports
on sermons and services and be heal
cd. Mentally, you will be refreshed,
The peculiar reports will make you
forget your ills. Ask Mrs. Emma
Lewis and Miss Matte R. Bowen and
others who frequently come to hear
our Sunday reports.
The Quiz hour is another period of
interest, 1t is conducted by our
president. The hour we know not,
but we do know often we are weigh
ed in the balance and found wanting
but amid it all we look wise" and
Misses Versa, Rudolph and Hanna

time has never come. All of the
girls are trying to be Walking En-
cyclopedias, because they see it i:
necessary If you are desirous ot
knowledge in a nutshell, ask the
president when is the time of the
Quiz Hour" and come out. The
presidents daily message is - How
to do ordinary things in an ordinary
way.
