HHGH Gallupan and considering the handicap which the first year of Change and reorganie zation entails, the results have not been disappointing. A large percentage of the boys in the school have shown a marked improvement in their work, and almost without exception, there has prevailed a spirit of industry and of loyalty without Which no school can succeed. This brief sketch of the history of the new Blake School would be incomplete Without a few words about its plans for the comingtyear. The trustees wisely planned to begin from within, but they also included a generous and notable physical development which should make the school a real addition to the advantages and beauty of Minneapolis. So generous and enthusiastic was their support of the school, that early in the first year of its incorporation they began to search for a suitable site, where an appropriate edifice, and grounds ample for the play and recrea- tion which boys need, were the ends in View. The result of this search was the purchase of forty acres of ideally suitable land at the intersection of the Minnetonka trolley line and the Mendelssohn road. Plans were pre- pared for a building on this site by Mr. Edwin H. Hewitt, and a part of this building, sufficient for the needs of the school for a number of years, is now in the process of construction, and its completion is promised by the contractors in time for the opening of school about October first, 1912. This building, costing, together with the land, about $75,000, has been presented to the school by the generosity of the trustees and of a number of Citizens who have contributed the necessary funds. Here the Blake School will fulfill the earliest dream of its founders as a country day school, diminishing nothing of the sound ideas of its first year, and adding thereto the advantages of ample play grounds, and re- moval, during the live school days of the week, from the City environment. Here it will be a community of men and boys working and playing together under the happiest circumstances, yet keeping its boys at home at i the times when home counts most; in this way combining many of the advantages of the ordinary day school and of the boarding school. Here it will strive to carry out through efficient service and loyal co-operation on the part of both teachers and boys, the aim of education embodied in its motto, Urbz' L-t orbi ZummiHeillumination of mind and spirit for the City and state.
