AN EDUCATOR
VISITS LOGAN
Makes Inspection Of New Jersey Ac-
ademy and School Gets Good
Appropriation

New Jersey Academy recently re-
ceived a visit from Mr.. M. c.. ALA.
ben the superintendent OF schools OF
the Presbyterian Board. Like every
one who visits Logan for the first
time, he was charmed by the beauty
of the mountains, the valley and the
city itself, and considered they were
most fortunate in having a school so
delightfully."- situated. Supt. Araben
had visited many schools in Arizona,
New Merico and California before
reaching Logan but considered we
had the advantage of any school he
had yet visited in beauty Of scenery
and surroundings.
New Jersey Academy, although one
of the smaller schools, is one of the
most attractive and one Of the best
equipped. 1t has been a matter of
regret to all interested that the ca
ps,city Of the boarding department is
so limited, and plans were discussed
for building a new cottage or building
an addition to Honeyman Hall in the
near future. In the meantime, Supt
Allaben granted the school very
generous appropriation from the spe-
cial repairs fund for improving the
athletic grounds for gymnasium equip
ment and for other desired repairs
and improvements to grounds and
buildings. Logan is justly proud Of
the excellence OF its schools.
The school will close December 20
for the Christmas vacation and reopen
January 6.
