ious institutions has been issued. The

time. improvements have been made
at several fthe buildings and they
will he in good condition for occu-
pancy. 4 good list of instructors has
been provided for each institution
and conditions are favorable for a
most successful term. There will
doubtless be many students out at
first, owing to the special permission
law being taken advantage of eXten-
sively as a result of the tobacco har-
vest. There will be new furniture
