and the furnishing of rooms, bring in their figures.
Light has been given me that we are not to
pattern after any school that has been run in
America. There is to be a more durable education
gained. It is the knowledge of the Word. And with
every arrangement made, economy must be kept in
view. The teachers must cooperate in requiring
from the students sufficient funds to cover the
running expenses or they must themselves agree to
do their work for lower wages. The estimate of the
school expenses must be considered, and if there is
no way to keep free from debt, all are at liberty to
arrange among themselves to donate a certain
amount of their wages. It may be best to raise the
tuition; then the teachers will have the privilege of
using their means to help where they see that help
is most needed. When a call is made for means,
where it is a pleasure to assist, the teachers should
have something in their own earnings to use as they
shall see fit.
Those who have the truth in their hearts are
always open hearted, helping where it is necessary.
