re afterwards summarized in a printed report as follows:

"Since the reopening of Oak Hill Academy in February 1905 it has
had an era of prosperity that promises permanency. Many improvements
have been made, new buildings for farm purposes have been erected,
much of the land has been re-fenced and is gradually being brought
under a higher state of cultivation, and there is a general
improvement in the appearance of the entire premises, that reflects
credit on the management, as well as upon the boys who do the work.
The literary work progresses under well trained teachers, and a
normal department has been added that teachers may be better fitted
to supply the schools, which it is hoped will be maintained in the
south part of the Territory. The home department is managed, to the
comfort and happiness of all by the wife of the superintendent, who
'looketh well to the ways of her household.' The matron's duties,
which include the general management of all matters relating to the
work in the Girls' Hall, including the sewing, laundry and kitchen
departments, are performed with conscientiousness and enthusiasm. A
former graduate student is rendering very efficient service in the
cooking department."

"The property of the Board, farm and buildings, is the most
attractive and prosperous in appearance in that region. The location
is beautiful, the buildings good for that section are well painted,
the ground well fenced and in good order. Some good farm buildings
have been erected by the students and they have painted other large
buildings in a very workmanlike manner. Considerable land has been
redeemed from a state of wildness. Thrift and order are apparent
everywhere indoors and out."--V. P. Boggs. Secretary Woman's
Department.
