THE L. D. S. ACADEMY
Will Open August 23d for
Year l909-l9l0---Commer-
cial Course Added

There seems to be a misunder-
standing among some as to what the
the tuition will be for the coming
school year. We desire to state
that there has been no change made
from previous years. The entrance
fee for the normal and high school
course is ten dollars per year, pay
able in advance.
Last year some seemed to think
that it was five dollars a semester.
This is a mistake. The moment
the student registers, the ten dol
lars is due, as it is an entrance or
registration fee and not a tuition.
This year we have concluded to
put in commercial course, which
announcement appeared in print
sometime ago. The tuition for the
commercial course is twenty-five
dollars per semester. Some SEEM
ed to get the idea that this referred
to the other courses, and that the
entrance fee had been raised. This
has nothing to do with the other
courses, but is a new course added,
for which we have been put to con-
siderable expense in employing an
other teacher and purchasing fur
niture. This is only about one
fourth or fifth of what most COM
mercial schools charge.
Students desiring to rent rooms or
secure boarding places will do we'll
to make arrangements early, as we
will be hard pressed to secure places
for all, but if applications are made
early, we will have time to look up
locations.
Remember, school opens August
23d. This gives but a short time
to get ready, so students should
commence at once to make prepara-
tions. From all indications, the
new building will be we'll filled the
first year, as inquiries are coming
in from FALL sources. 1t will be a
pleasure to attend school in such a
beautiful building, which will be
fitted out with the finest furniture
money can buy. We intend to
make this school second to none of
its class in the West.
The Academy is a church school,
but all students of good moral
character are made welcome.
Those who are not members of our
church do not have to take the work
in theology. The rules and regu-
lations are only such as any lady or
gentleman can well afford 70 follow,
as they tend to huild up character
and make better students. We
will not interfere with the religious
beliefs of any, but make all well
come.
We are now prepared to give al
most any course that students may
desire, as we give a four-year high
school course, a one-year normal
course and a two-year commercial
course. A thorough course in man
ual training and domestic art is
included in the high school and
normal courses, so that the students
can get ANAL around education of
head, heart and hand.
