LETTER FROM PROF. DODGE

Unicoi. Tenn. Dec. Q. 1911.
Dear Bcrea friends:
Mrs. Dodge and I found ourselves
30 pressed for time. when on tho
point OF leaving Berea. that we could
not observe the ordinary amenities VI
life. II seemed much like what 10
called a French leave" We desire
to thank the friends who gave us
the delightful reception and the fine
souvenir, as we'll as all who wers
30 helpful In expediting our depart
ure aad who showed their friendship
In various ways.
Our trip wGs without unusual In
oident except considerable delay from
a wrecked freight car being upon the
track. This shortened our time fJr
nights rost at Knoxville to between
four and five hours. But, with all
the lack OF close connection both
at Knoxville and Johnson City. we
were greeted by the brother-in-law's
folks here with a bountiful Thanks
giving dinner. amid beautiful decora-
lions, within twenty-three hours from
our leaving Berea. With a fine day
yesterday for moving our goods from
the station to the house. and the for
gotten parcel received by express. We
are In happy frame OF mind.
Many who see this note will be un-
able to realize how deeply we regret
that We had not the time for going
around to bid good bye. II is not
practicable to write now TO every one
OF them. But there Is a warm love
for multitude OF people In Berea be-
hind these hasty lines. IL Is not as

good visit. about Commencement
time. We shall be most glad TO hear
from individuals through the malls.
and will try to send individual re-
plies. We are not here to be idle. but
To find time for unfinished business
and for taking an inventory as 1t
were OF life's experiences. God be
with you till we meet again"

Do not attempt to raise too many.
Rather bend your energies to succeed
with those you attempt to raise.
Rarer trees or shurbs serve nicely 40
prizes to be awarded for scholarship,
attendance, etc.
We wish TO encourage the observa-
ton Of Arbor Day, and suggest IN
this connection the setting out In
suitable place OF one tree for each
pupil, the tree TO be selected and
brought to the school by the pupil,
each to be assisted in the planting
Of his tree by his companions.
Each, OF course. is especially interest
ed in his own tree and the number VI
varieties brought in will be surpris-
ing.
In the nursery the evergreens re-
quire so much attention during the
first summer as to make them less
commendable than broad leaf trees.
However, they have a peculiar value.

to farmers and encourage the setting
Of evergreons about the home pre-

correspondence on the subject CT
forestry, and will give personal as
sistance to any contemplating nur-
sorry.

PRESIDENTS LETTER TO PARENTS
Continued from First Page


es to preach to our students. When
they are converted we urge them to
join the church Of their parents at
home. There are thousands of former
Berea students who are now the best
church workers in all the denomi-
nations.
We think 1t is a great advantage
for any young person to live In Be-
rea even for a few months. He gets
acquainted with some Of the best
young people from other counties and
from other states. He sees and hears
great many important things out
side of what he is learning in the
classroom. If he is going to some
Northern or Western region this Is
the best preparation. But we advise
all our students to go back to the
communities from which they came.
They will be able to do better on
their home farms and in the business
Of their own counties after having
seen something outside. OF course
you know what great care we take
for the health of our young people.
The board is plain and simple, but
they grow fat on 1t. The rooms are
not elegant. but they are comfortable.
There cannot be found a thousand
young people anywhere east or west
who have as good health on the av-
erage as the students of Berea. To
make them sick you have to expose
them to the measles or some contag-
ious disease! But II they are sick we
have hospital and a nurse and doctor
who take care Of them without extra
charge except for medicine.
Now / sincerely believe that any
parents who wish to make the best
men and women possible out Of their
children will find great help in send
| ing at least some of those children
to Bcrea for longer or shorter
course. II you cannot send all the
children send one. That boy or girl
will bring back ideas and informa-
ton and improved ways that will
benefit all the others. And very like
iy that one child who has been ut
Berea will pull the younger broth
ers and sisters through also.
In the matter of expenses we think
We are doing remarkably well. 1t
should be understood that we give
the students everything which we
consider first-class. They do not
have as stylish things as they might,
but they have the things which We
think are good and sensible. Some
rich people send their sons and
daughters here because they prefer to
have the plain and simple style Of
living and the arrangements by which
all students work more or less. We
earnestly believe that this is best for
all young people. No matter how rich
father and mother may be the child
rem ought to be taught to live plain
ly and simply. to take care of their
own rooms and TO save money In all
honest ways.
In conclusion, wish most sincere
ly to ask that all Christian people
will pray for us In Berea. We have
an enormous responsibility with so
many hundreds of young people from
all parts of the country in our charge
We tremble and rejoice.
Faithfully yours.
VIM. Goodell Frost.

The development of agriculture and
the increase OF the live stock indus

owing to the shortage in farm work
