The News is indeed sorry to q
Elmwood Seminary close its doors, as
it will next June, al a girls seminary.
1t is to suffer the inevitable fate Of all
small private unendowed schools: go
out OF business because of the lack of
sufficient financial means. We regret
that such is the fact, for from these
small Christian schools come. some Of
our best men and women. What these
schools lack in money they have more
than made up in character, which is
worth vastly MORE. From Elmwood
Seminary have gone out young women
to be strong Christian leaders in their
home communities. 1t is always so
with such schools. However, the
converting it into an orphanage will
insure the continuance of its bene-
icent mission, and, we hope, will
cause it to fulfill a larger one. 1t Is
quite safe to say that the financial
benefit to the town from the institu-
ton will be greater under the pro-
posed plan than it was under the
former, although that was more help
full, perhaps, than we realize.-Farm-
