tuition, let the churches in our conferences show<br />

their liberality by helping them. This is an<br />

important subject, <strong>and</strong> calls, not for a narrow<br />

calculation, but for a thorough investigation. The<br />

counsel of the Lord is needed. The school should<br />

The School to be a Home<br />

The school in Avondale is to be conducted<br />

upon no selfish plan. It is to be a home rather than<br />

a school like other schools. The teachers are to act<br />

interest in the students one <strong>and</strong> all, such as fathers<br />

<strong>and</strong> mothers show in their children. The students<br />

are not to be educated to think that they are<br />

independent atoms, but that each one is a thread<br />

which is to unite with other threads in the web<br />

composing the fabric.<br />
