Young School Making Rapid
Strides Athletic Field is
Among Generous Gifts.

The Mid-Paclfic Institute has opened
this week-the last of the city schools
to begin the seasons work The insti
tute has practically abolished Christ
mas and Easter recesses and increased
the length of the summer vacation.
This gives larger opportunity to self
supporting students to earn money and
keeps the months Of study continuous
and earnest.
In Mills school the boys department
has a record attendance. Last year
the board of managers decided to abol.
ish day attendance. There were then
nearly 70 day students. Some friends
of Mills thought the school would suf.
fer. All, however, are now satisfied
that the principals recommendation
was wise, and so popular has the
school become that the full capacity
of the school is tested and large
waiting list established.
There will be 25 more boarders this
year than there were boarders and day
students combined last year. Even
one of the farm cottages has been
filled with boys. Further. there are
several students of the Bible school
under Rev. ]. p. Erfman who are al
lowed to live in the city. In this Bible
school a young lady has for the first
time been admitted, Miss Wal Hong
Loo, who is fitting herself for a mis-
sionary career.
During the summer the building was
extensively repaired and improved and
the equipment OF beds, dishes and 9TH
