System be pressed assiduously along

System be pressed assiduously along
all lines. Nearly five months have
passed since the state convention
and, SO far as we/know, scarcely
any money has been raised on the
basis Of the Ten-Cent System and
sent to the treasurer. 1t was great
~ hoped that this system would be
productive of large success, but un-
less the ministering brethren and
the workers in our churches and on
our fields bestir themselves greatly,
this system in it's results will fall
far below our expectation and hope.
But there is no reason why this
should be. This system is right. 1t
is what we need and especially at
this time.
The school is still in a struggling
condition, striving to get on it's feet,
striving to get full dormitory &C
commodations and teaching facili-
ties. The school is greatly ham
pered along this line. and as a re-
suit it's income is small.
Hence the great need at this time
is the support Of such as the Ten
Cent System.
Let US briefly look the facts in the
| face. The school has to provide an
Office for the Sentinel and boarding
department for students and teach
ers; for fuel, for feeding and care of
stock; for the payment Of the SAL
aries of matron, cook and a part of
the teachers salaries; for furnish
| inc n o. IN
needs not a single dollar has come
into the school treasury, except
through the tuition of students and
that is small.
If the Ten-Cent System were
pushed as it should be, there would
'be very considerable income every
north. The people would not miss
1T and then too, the needs Of the
]school would be largely met. At
the last state convention, after all
bills were settled, as far as the mon
ey would reach, there We're quite a
number Of bills long since due, but
We're left unsettled
Some Of these bills, through being
7"lned for them, have been a source
LOT much annoyance Three bills
'monntir@ to $165.O0. were paid by
he President, from his own per
e"nal ceroiDgs, in order to avoid the
tannaNancc---
There are many other things we
might say, along this line, but we
refrain. We only say these things
Ought not to be and We are trying
to make it clear to all if the Ten
Cent System were pushed these
things would not be
" We are going to run school,
It is high time we were adopting a
system that will enable ns to run
with credit. Ten-Cent System, if
LOYALTY adhered to, will do this.
Dear brethren, again We urge you
with all seriousness to press the
system: collect all the money due
uD to this time and send it into the
treasury The work needs it: the
credit Of the school demands it.
Remember every dollar raised in
this or any other honorable way. be-

The remuneration of postal clerks in
Russia includes emoluments which do

Loegerheads.

The giant turtles which are found
along the Atlantic coast and frequent
ly in southern waters in great numbers
are known as loggerheads. They
commonly attain a weight of 1,6O0
pounds, are rapid swimmers and are
often seen far from land, floating
asleep upon the waves Carnivorous
by nature. these huge tortoises feed on
crabs and fish. especially on a large
species Of conch. which they break
open with their massive jaws. The
flesh of this terrapin is leathery and
oily. with strong smell of musk.
Young specimens are more palatable
and are often on sale in the markets.
A duck as large rs our goose, which
is native of the shores of TERRA del

called loggerhead. from its seeming
