OF making the best education possible Tor those
Of smallest means. Believing that simplicity
and economy are important things in educa-
ton. it insists upon them in all the arrange

parents wish TO send their children to Berea,
but such can be admitted only when they de-
sire to share in manual labor and to live in the
same sensible and frugal fashion as students
from less luxurious homes.
Berea places great emphasis on high schol-
arship, elevating recreations and the care 81
