and equipment , and we are here to stay. We employ none but 8
S first-class teachers. Our school is different in many re5pccts
8 from the ordinary high school or university. We aim to rl < < t- s :
velope the mind by teaching' subjects that can be usc.l . in our
H every day life. Our school is not iutended for those that have
the time and money to spend six or eight ycars in getting an
91 education. We select those subjects that a man or lady will N
use in their daily life whether in professional work or on the
farm. . ' 1'0 those that wish to get work after completing our I
course.alld preparing themselves for the work , we will say
that there has becn no c1iOiculty in finding places. There is
I no bettcr place to secur an education that will aid JOU in a
