We need more teachers and more talent to
educate the students in various lines, that many persons may
go from this place willing and able to carry to others the knowledge
which they have received. Orphan boys and girls are to find a
home here. Buildings should be erected for a hospital, and boats
should be provided to accommodate the school. A competent farm
manager should be employed, also wise, energetic men to act as
superintendents of the several industrial enterprises, men who
will use their undivided talents in teaching the students how
to work.
Many young people will come to school who
desire a training in industrial lines. The industrial instruction
should include the keeping of accounts, carpentry, and everything
that is comprehended in farming. Preparation should also be made
for teaching blacksmithing, painting, shoemaking, cooking, baking,
laundering, mending, typewriting, and printing. Every power at
our command is to be brought into this training work, that students
may go out equipped for the duties of practical life.
Cottages and buildings essential to the
schoolwork are to be erected by the students themselves. These
should not be crowded close together, nor located near the school
buildings proper. In the management of this work small
companies should be formed who, under competent
leaders, should be taught to carry a full sense of their responsibility.
All these things cannot be accomplished at once, but we are to
begin to work in faith.
