The Faculty VIII Remain Unchanged
NJ
Large Enrolment Is
Expected.

North Star College IS busy getting
ready for the seventh school year
vrhief4 begins September %. From
the very beginning the growth of the
Institution has been rapid and health
and it IS something Of which the Red
River Valley can justly feel proud
Last year was most satisfactory, and
the coming year is very promising.
MANY inquiries from prospective stu-
dents have aIredy been received, and
a number of students have already
made arrangements for rooms for
the winter
Our graduates are now to be found
In all parts of the Red River Valley,
and many have scattered outside Of
/ the State. They are all doing we'll,
and the school is rapidly gaining III
reputation We encourage our stu
dents to remain at home to help IN
! the office or on the farm, whenever
their help is needed; and we are glad
| to note that many have followed this
advice. Il boys and girls get dis
taste for farm work-or work of amy
sert--it is largely the fault Of schools
which, at least in the past, have fos-
j tered the idea that all manual labor
| should be looked down upon It is
therefore quite necessary that the
dignity of all honest labor be taught.
We make this a special point
/ North Star College is fortunate in
that all of last years teachers will
RETURN to continue their work. All
accomplished splendid results, and we
are glad to welcome them back

ccuragenent of Judge Holm of our

noted for its fine work in Penman-

Il earned and been awarded Pen1nan-
