Immanuel Lutheran School.

With the opening of the new school-year, Im-
manuel School moved into its new quarters, the
beautiful buildizg erected by the children of the
Synodical Conference.

The building, a one-story structure, is of red
brick. It has three elass-rooms, separated by a hall
which is entered by two side entrances. In front,
below the “gable, is a: memorial tablet with the in-
scription: “Erected by the Children of Ev. Luth.
Synodical Conference.” ‘The corner-stone bears the
words: “Immanuel Lutheran School, 1911.”

As you enter the hall by the entrance to be seen
on the picture, you will see a drinking fountain in
one corner. The door to the right of you takes
you into the front class-room, which is occupied by
Teacher Reid’s class. Opening the door to your
left, you will enter ‘Teacher Carter’s class-room, the
picture of which you also have before you. Ad-
joining this room is the class-room of Miss Brown.

It is not necessary to present a picture of every
class-room, as all of them are of equal size, namely,
2432 feet, and all furnished alike with seats for
56 children. ‘The many windows, all on one side of
the class-rooms, admit splendid light for study, and
three walls of each room are furnished with black-
boards. In the wide space between the teacher's
desk and the first row of pupils’ seats the children
can line up for recitations. Adjoining every room
is a spacious cloak-room, which is entered by a door
from the respective class-rooms. In the basement,
under the two rear class-rooms, are the toilet rooms,
and a large space which may be used as. playgrounds
in bad weather.

-Class-Room in Immanuel Lutheran School.

The dedication proper of this building has not
yet taken place. Rev. N. J. Bakke was asked to
deliver the address, ‘but as other duties prevented
him from coming, it was decided to wait until the
promised visitor of the honorable Mission Board
would be here to address us on that occasion. God
willing, we hope to dedicate the new school on the
first Sunday in November.

Our hearts are filled with gratitude to the chil-
dren of the Synodical Conference for having given
us such a beautiful and well-equipped’ building.
May the Lord ever bless teachers and pupils of
Immanuel Lutheran School! M.L.

Letter from New Orleans.

Dear PIONEER: —
.Ho, he! vacation days are o'er;
We'll see the pond and pool no more.

No more swimming nor fishing for a while,
boys! No use crying, sonny! You've got to go to
school once, so you may as well fall in line. And,
of course, Buddy and Alec, and Liza and Hannah
did go. *

That’s some time ago—when you read: this.
Every wheel in the school-machinery has been awhir-
ring and ahumming since September 11. ‘The en-
rollment, as you are reading this, is acreeping up
to the danger-line; i. ¢., the Lord is filling the
schools to overflowing.

Now, friends, compare the lines of discipline in
the public and in the parochial school. See what
a difference! Public schools are absolutely neces-
sary to-day, but they do not reach the ideal of the
Christian parent. ‘The standards of believer and
