responsibilities upon men who have business tact, men who can give
themselves to business, who can visit the schools and keep an account
of the financial condition, and who can also give instruction regard-

inspected several times each year. Let the ministers act as counselors,
but lay not on them the financial responsibilities.—

Manual Labor
Students should be kept busy in useful labor—The influence
for good that the manual training work has exerted over the students
overbalances the financial loss, and would overbalance it were it ten
times as large as it is. How many souls this work has helped to
save, you will never know till the day of judgment. Satan finds some
mischief still for idle hands to do. But when students are kept busy in
useful labor, the Lord has opportunity to work with them.—
