So far this term, only three stu
dents have stopped school to go to
work on the farm. In the past, at
the beginning of spring about 800
of the students would stop and go
home to work. Each rear the num-
Der has decreased, until this year
less than 2% have quit school to
go home to work. Students and
parents alike are finding out more
and more hat one whole term in
school is worth more than three
half terms with a half year inter-
vening, and certainly it is economy.
Regardless of the fact that spring
has set in, the work in each depart
ment of the school is unusually
good, and the greatest interest ever
manifested by the student body in
the spiritual, Intellectual and phys
ical welfare of all, continues to ex-
ist.
