Ju Iging by the number of inquiries regarding the school up to this time, the enrollment next year will bo much larger vnan last. If we consider the advantages that come from the personal in terest the faculty takes in the students and the high ideals sustain, d lythe school and, we doubt if the.e is a better school in the county for the boys and girls of the surrounding community.
