Minnehaha Academy Character of the Schoel ' INNEHAHA ACADEMY is first and foremost a Christian school. This is the definite pur- .,,. pose for which it was founded. We make no i apology for emphasizing that this is its dis- tinctive feature. On the contrary, it would be necessary to apologize if this were not so. There is no lack of schools of the high school grade either in the Northwest or elsewhere, but there is a lack of schools that are positively Christian. The rapid growth of Minnehaha Academy has shown clearly that there is a real need to be met. In 1913-1914 the enroll- ment was 112, while in 1919-1920 it was 424. Minnehaha Academy believes that true education consists of more than the acquisition of knowledge. It stands for the training of the heart as well as the head and the hand. Knowledge is power, as the old proverb reminds us, but it is a power that may be abused. In fact, the keener a persons mind has been trained, the more dangerous it is if misused. but on the other hand the more valuable it is to humanity if used aright. Minnehaha Academy aims to give the right direction to the lives of the young people entrusted to its care. There are three departments in the school, namely High School, Business, and Music. The various courses are fully explained farther on in this book. The instruction in all departments of the school is in the English language. A characteristic to rbe noted, however, is the offering of four years of Swedish in the High School De- partment. The school is owned and controlled by the North- western Mission Society, a part of the Swedish Evangelical Mission Covenant of America. The Students Minnehaha Academy makes its appeal especially to boys and girls in Christian homes. It seeks to maintain in the sphere of studies and school life the same atmosphere as prevails in a good homeaan atmosphere of cheerfulness, in- dustry and sincerity, and also of reverence and devotion.
