The Location MINNEHAHA ACADEMY is situated in the Twin Cities, the heart of the great North- west, but away from the congested business section of the cities. The campus lies on the Minneapolis side of the majestic Mississippi River, one block south of the Selby-Lake car line, which is one of the connecting lines between the two cities. The center of either city may be reached in about half an hour and for a single street car fare. In fact, there is only one fare between the school and any point in the entire t ' Twin Cities. This strategic location just at the city boundary means that the school regularly receives a large number of students from both St.Paul and Minneapolis. It also makes the school very accessible to out-of-town students, as they can leave their train or board it at the station in either city. The Selby- Lake car going west runs directly past the Union Station in St. Paul and goes directly toward the Academy, running within a block of the school. The location of Minnehaha Academy in the Twin Cities gives it many other advantages. It enables the student to visit churches, libraries, museums and art galleries, to hear good music and good lectures, and also to attend various conferences and conventions. All these privileges are an education in themselves. There are also good chances for the student to secure employment when he is ready for a position. 14

CATALOG. MINNEHAHA ACADEMY Bible Study No education can be complete that omits the Bible, the Book of Books. The world has not outgrown the need of its living truths. It is the greatest book in the world even from a literary point of view. In its redeeming and uplifting power as the Word of God it constitutes the most precious heritage of the human race, and its greatest hope. To instill its truths into the minds of the rising generation is to sow seed that will unfailingly yield a blessed harvest. At Minnehaha Academy every student in school is in some Bible class. This is one of the fundamental rules of the school. The Bible itself is the textbook that is studied. The instruction is plain and practical, aimed at the heart as well as the head. The deep interest in these studies constantly manifested by the students is a mighty inspiration to all friends of the school. All these Bible classes are taught by the president of the school, who thus comes into personal contact with every student. Earning Your Way Students who are dependent on themselves for an educa- tion often wish to find part-time employment. The school tries to find such work for all who may require or desire it. During the past school year a large number of students made their own way through school, at least in part. About fifty earned their board or board and room during a part or the Whole of the school year. Others were paid in cash, the sums thus earned aggregating hundreds of dollars. Girls who are willing to assist with housework in return for room and board can generally secure such positions without any difficulty. Ordinarily we have far more positions than we have girls to take them. A Student Loan Fund gives aid to deserving students, preference being given to those prepar- ing for Christian work. 15
