THE FIELD METHODS CLASS oscAR GERHART Those who are especially interested in public gospel work have had a rare opportunity this past year. In order to help and teach this class of students, Elder E.. H. Emmerson conducted a special class, teaching the proper etiquette in public gatherings and giving us some really practical experience in this work. Everyone of the twelve members of the class will testify that his time and effort expended there is worth a hundredfold its cost. Besides learning the theory of public work, all had the privilege of actually doing public work. Now and then the members visited the different churches in the Conference and practiced the things they had learned in class. It is this practical type of learning that we as students need, and which will best fit us for a place in this work. THE COLPORTEURS' BAND FRED KENT There are many reasons I might give for my interest in the colporteur work. The main and important reason for my zeal for it is the thought of its being, as we are told in the Spirit of Prophecy. Missionary work of the highest order. During the last half of the school year this work and its importance appealed to fifteen of the students. These were immediately organized into a colporteurs' band. We spent one period each week studying methods and means for going out among the peo- ple in order to carry this work on successfully. We all feel that we have gained blessings from such efforts, and we, with all of the other colporteurs, hope to stand by the side of the River of Life and have the joy of hearing someone say, ul was drunk with world and its maddening strife until the colporteur happened my way. OUR LIBRARY FRANCES BROWN Those who attended the constituency meeting of the Southern and Southeastern California Conferences held at La Sierra, April 26, will remember the sweet peas that they received from the members of the library science class as a badge to show that they had contributed to the library curtain fund. And now if they would visit our library they would see beautiful curtains hanging at each window. This is only one of the improvements that we have been able to make during the past year. Another is six substantial tables, nicely finished, that were made by the car- pentry class. We also have sixty new chairs that match the mahogany finish of the tables. The two oil paintings, Sunrise on Lake Tahoe, and Sunset on King's River, painted by Englehardt and presented to the school by the Senior Class of '25 add much to the attractiveness of the study room. Although our library is still quite small it is rapidly growing. During this year over three hundred books have been added to our shelves, making a total of nearly two thousand volumes. We feel that this is a good beginning and that in a few years our library will be as complete as any academic library. Procrastination steals character, ruins opportunity, robs of freedom and makes a slave. By the street Bye-and-Bye one ar- rives at the house of Never. PAGE THIRTY
