The Manual Training Department Succeeds

But after watching the program in operation for six weeks, Ellen White reported: WV 322.8

About twenty-six hands—students—have worked a portion of the time felling trees in clearing the land, and they have their studies. They say they can learn as much in the six hours of study as in giving their whole time to their books. More than this, the manual labor department is a success for the students healthwise. For this we thank the Lord with heart and soul and voice. The students are rugged, and the feeble ones are becoming strong (Letter 126, 1895). WV 322.9
