SOUTH LANCASTER ACADEMY.
SOUTH LANCASTER ACADEMY will conduct a summer school especially for teachers, beginning July 5, and ending August 30.
During the last two or three years, the Spirit of the Lord has been giving especial instruction concerning the education of our children. Particularly has the instruction to take our children from the public schools and place them in Christian schools, been emphasized. In view of these words of counsel, the managers of the academy have decided to conduct a summer school, for the benefit especially of those who are preparing to teach in church schools. When we look at the large territory included in District 1 of the General Conference, it must be evident that a large number of church schools should be opened by our people. In order to establish these church schools, teachers must be fitted for the work. Already there is a demand for more teachers than we are able to supply; and so, in order not to delay this work until those who should be engaged in teaching have taken time for that thorough preparation which would be valuable for them to have, it has been decided to conduct this summer school, and to offer such instruction to those who expect to teach in the church schools as will give them that help which will enable them to begin work. Students entering this school should have knowledge sufficient to pass examinations for teachers’ certificates in their respective States.
Classes will be conducted in Bible, physiology, teaching, nature study, history and philosophy of education, bookkeeping, music, shorthand and typewriting, agriculture, horticulture, etc.
The average cost, all expenses included, is about fifteen dollars a month, making thirty dollars for the term.
Those who think of attending this summer school are most earnestly requested to let it be known at once.
For further information, address the principal, Frederick Griggs, South Lancaster, Mass.

From Singers over the Sea.
From such examination as I have been able to give “Christ in Song,” it seems to me to be the best general hymn book that we have yet issued; and at a recent meeting of our publishing board it was decided to try to introduce it for general use among our people in this kingdom.
W. W. PRESCOTT, President British Conference.
53 Mercer’s Road, London, N. England.
I have given the new book, “Christ in Song,” a somewhat careful examination; and can say that, taking into consideration what you have omitted from it, as well as what you have included, it is by far the best hymn book ever published by Seventh-day Adventists. As soon as the necessary arrangements can be made with the publishers, we shall introduce it here in this field, and shall recommend it to all our companies for both Sabbath-school and general use.

The First Edition Sold. Paper for the Second Edition of 5,000 Copies Ordered

Polite manners are the first requisite to the entering of good society.
The book should be in every home in the land.

WORDS OF COMMENDATION.
“Good Form and Christian Etiquette” is a sensible, well-written, practical, and helpful book. It is based on the Christian conception of life, and conforms to the best usages of American society. JOHN H. VINCENT.
The little manual of good manners, written by Mrs. S. M. I. Henry, should become the constant companion of young people not versed in the etiquette of society. It not only informs them of the usages of society, but infuses into them the ethics of the Christian religion, so that politeness and social customs become in very deed the kind and refined expressions of a kind and refined nature. It is very important that the young should early learn the best and highest usages of social life, which we call “good form,” as an observance of them increases their opportunities, their usefulness, and their happiness. MARY A. LIVERMORE.
I have read with great interest the little book, “Good Form and Christian Etiquette.” It is full of practical and valuable suggestions, and should be of great service to many young persons as well as helpful to mothers. I shall have great pleasure in using it in connection with my work, GRACE H. DODGE.
New United States Battleships
THE United States government has begun the building of three battle-ships that are to be more powerful than any now in the world.
Cuba and Annexation
It is now reported that “all the best citizens of Cuba who want good government are desirous of annexation to the United States.” Is that why they are “the best citizens”?}],
Reserve Volunteer Army Bill
A BILL has been introduced in Congress “to create out of the militia of the several States a reserve volunteer army for use in time of war, to supplement the regular army.” It proposes to make “all citizens between the ages of eighteen and forty-five years liable to military service in the volunteer army.”
Reasons for Passing the Porto Rico Bill
An administration correspondent says that there were just two principal considerations that caused the Senate to pass the Porto Rico bill as it was passed:—
1. A desire to assert the power of Congressional government without the Constitution.
2. A desire to start upon such a policy in this first legislation for the territories brought to us by the war with Spain as would prepare the way for a colonial system, and avoid the necessity of taking these possessions in as integral parts of the United States.
The Meaning of Court
IN connection with the establishment of that “American court,” with its necessary appurtenances of “court dress” and a “court chamber,” it is well to bear in mind the definition of the word “court” in this sense. It is, “The place where a sovereign holds state, surrounded by his official attendants and tokens of his dignity; as, to be presented at court. Also, specifically, it is “the collective body of persons who compose the retinue or council of a sovereign or other princely dignity.”
Du Chaillu on Animal Foresight
PAUL DU CHAILLU is a noted explorer, and the author of several books. The latest of his books is “Animals of the Great African Forest.” And after all this, he sets forth the sage announcement that, “from close observation and persistent study, I have arrived at the conclusion that animals, birds, reptiles, ants, spiders, etc., possess powers of great apprehension and prevision as to the future, and that creatures of the same species have common understanding together, either by voice signs or other ways unknown to man.” That close observation and persistent study should be required on the part of anybody to arrive at such a conclusion as that is powerfully suggestive of phenomenal dullness or of something less creditable.
India’s Drought Crop Losses
LORD CURZON, viceroy of India, in an address before the council at Calcutta, in advocating the budget for the year, stated that the loss to the wheat crop, caused by the drought during the present year, is from forty to fifty million dollars. The loss to the cotton crop is thirty-five million dollars, while the oil seed crop, usually covering eighteen million acres, is “nonexistent outside of Bengal and the North-west Provinces.” The loss to cultivators in Bombay alone in food crops is seventy-five million dollars, and in cotton twenty million dollars.
IN THE NEXT
By Editor
two studies in the Third Angel’s Message we shall note the specific items that mark the “falling away” from which was developed “the man of sin,” “the son of perdition,” “the mystery of iniquity,” “that Wicked,” the Beast. No one can afford to let his subscription expire, and miss these important studies. Why are these things in the Scriptures, if not that we shall trace them out and know the facts? Come, let us really study these things.
The Increase of Bad Protestants
THE Christian Advocate is the leading one of the very few papers in the United States that see the dangerous trend of things noted in the following passage from the Advocate of April 5:—
When a Roman Catholic protested to Pope Pius IX that too great favor had been shown to a certain Englishman who was a Protestant, Pope Pius is said to have replied: “It is true he is not a good Catholic, but he is a very bad Protestant.”
This was witty, but it contained more philosophy even than wit. The number of very bad Protestants in this sense is increasing; they consist of the persons and papers who are continually commending the truths and virtues of Roman Catholicism, and denying, minifying, or ignoring its doctrinal errors, unwarranted claims, humanly made sacraments, and claims of jurisdiction over the state.
