rollment is predicted by Mr.. Selvig
who announces that enrollments are
being received daily. "This indicates"
Mr.. Selvig declared. that despite the
business and crop depression the far
mers are raising the money to send
their sons and daughters to school.
They realize that what may seem like
a large expense now will soon prove
a tremendous asset when the time
comes when the son can employ the
knowledge he gained at an agricultural
school to the benefit of the farm"

faculty, parents of students and uni

Schools activities and the benefits de-

PARENTS EXPRESS
THEIR OPINION
The viewpoint of the parents is al
ways Of vital Importance in estimating
school. For that reason, there ap-
pear in this issue of the Northwest
Monthly, a number of statements from
parents, that are of interest. Doubt
less there are many others whose
statements would emphasize different
phases of the influence of the institu-
ton, while others, again, would point
out ways for possible Improvement
1t is of utmost Importance for the
school to maintain close contact
with the homes from which the stud
ents come. To this end, all sugges-
tions for remedying defects and
strengthening the work are always
welcome and will be greatly appreci-
ated by the faculty.
From among number of letters
received, the following have been Sc
lected as representing different Sec
tions of our district. Being written by
perents, thus giving their viewpoint,
they should carry much weight to par
ents of prospective Students:
Erick Anderson.
Erick Anderson, of Oak Park Farm,
near Gonvick, has three boys who
have attended the Red River Valley
farm school. He gives an interesting
statement:
Being a parent of three boys who
have attended the N. w. School Of Az
riculture, feel that I can comment
authoritatively upon the value of the
school. I feel that this school is pos
itively everything that a school of it's
kind should be. It is putting out
many fine girls and boys with good,
strong character as result of its ex-
cellent instruction. will assure any
one that wishes to send their boys and
girls there that the best results will
be obtained
Peter Linaani.
Peter Lindahl, of Red River Town
ship, west of Hallock, writes:
"Too much can not be said regard
ing the value of the education as Civ
en- at the Northwest School of Agri
culture, as it is worthy of the greatest
praise and support.
Every young man or woman who
has the opportunity will make no mis-
take in attending this school. The
faculty is the best available and is
not only capable but makes every eff
fort to bring the school up to the
highest standard for the benefit q
those who come there to learn.
BESIDES the public school, I have
sent my children to six different insti
tutions, but of all these, the North
west School of Agriculture surely is
superior along every line"
John N. Sather
From John N. Sather, farmer hV
ing near Halstad, comes convincing
statement:
Il, for my part, feel that the North
west School of Agriculture is one Of
the best schools in the state; first, il
takes into consideration all phases Of
farm life; second, it is so located as te
give the boys and girls of the Red Riv
er Valley an opportunity to attend
school near home, and, third, the
school terms are so arranged as tt
give the children a chance to stay
home during the busy seasons. In ad
dition, the boys and girls are wei
looked after while at the school, IL
charge of well trained and capable
faculty. l feel as if have right K
say few words in favor of the North
west School of Agriculture, as have
had three of my sons there, and they
have all benefited greatly by having
attended the school. %.. aS..et. ...
