A Skvirh nf the Svrhnnl The Harstrom School was established in 1899. In reality it was not estab- lished at all, but in 1899 Dr. Harstrom undertook the preparation of three boys for Yale. His success with these brought others-and before he realized it he had a school on his hands. The. result. today is a regularly organized and a highly successful school work. The average number of students in attendance is forty. There are eight permanent instructors. Since the modest beginning in 1899, two hundred and thirty-five Harstrom men have received preliminary certificates of entrance to college, or final certificates, or both eg and more than one hundred others have, by summer work, passed off conditions for college.. In athletics, also, the school has made a fair record. Its athletic activities have to be of secondary importance in view of the recitation schedule, and they involve almost no trainingg but even so, the school has for several years had teams in foot-ball, hockey, basket-ball, base-ball, tennis, and golf g and for the past two years it has had a good gun club. The present issue of The llf68COZIl'll.'3'Ili testifies in itself to another school interest. In short, everything about the school is modern and up-to-date. Furthermore, the whole spirit of the school tends to develop responsibility and self-relianceg and common sense and hono-r are substituted, as far as pos- sible, for petty regulations and punishments. The relat.ion between pupils and teachers is ideal, and as for work, it is not too much to say that the boy who can't accomplish results at the Harstrom School cannot succeed anywhere. The Mescolanza Board extends to Dr. IfI?L1'St1'6l'l1 and this teachers its best wishes for their continued success and prosperityf ti
