These cabins were in a dilapidated condition, and during the winter months the students who occupied them necessarily suffered from the cold.

We charge the students eight dollars a month--all they were able to pay--for their board.
This included, besides board, room, fuel, and washing.

We also gave the students credit on their board bills for all the work which they did for the school which was of any value to the institution.

The cost of tuition, which was fifty dollars a year for each student, we had to secure then, as now, wherever we could.
This small charge in cash gave us no capital with which to start a boarding department.

The weather during the second winter of our work was very cold.
