A City of Colleges.

A City Of Colleges.
The Star notes with pleasure the
prospect Of Hot Springs receiving
another institution Of higher educa-
ton. We have reference to the pro-
posed location of a Catholic College
in the city. Hot Springs has neve
laid claim to failure commercial i'm
portance. yet it is not improbable or inn
possible that she may yet be q place of
no inconsiderable commercial great
ness: but the claim set up by the friends
of Hot Springs is that it is now and al
ways will be the great Sanitarium of
the northwest including the opportu-
mites for mental culture and develope-
ment offered. In the light of the claim it
is but the harmonious addition of n
other institution in direct line of
what we already possess. If to u
magnificent climate, beautiful sur
roundings and life giving waters, we
add the very best ard varied
educational influences, we have a com-
bination that makes the most desirable
place'for q home that can be offered.
The arrangements for the location
of a Catholic College are so nearly
perfected that it can be said with
certainty that it will be located here.
A site and suitable grounds have
been offered by FL. Evans, and Bishop
Marty has signiiied his acceptance of
the proposition and appointed q. A.
Gushurst and Father Redmond of Lead
City to select the site; Bishop Marty
has also indicated that he would Gu
dcavcr to have erected the finest COL
lcce in the northwest. and us speed
ily as possible. 1t is unnecessary TO
attempt TO enumc.ate the benefit to
Hot Springs resulting from The es-
Establishment Of educational Institutions
here. The Pioneer, the Black Hills
college has announced that it can ac-
commodate two hundred students. If
it should be filled this year it viii
bring nearly 200 hundred people into
y the city, as the greater portion Of this
two hundred must come from abroad
g 1t is probably safe TO estimate that the
parents of at least cne-eigh of TIT
: students will remove 10 the city 81
that the first result will be the adding
of twenty five families to IL comnn,
ity during the first college year. N
: NAV be that these figures are too large
e Possible two hundred students may
: not be enrolled TIE FIRST year shonll
o there be an enrolment Of only ial
that number, the first year can h
counted u grand success and the nc
suits to our city will be the same only
of less magnitude. The membership
will grow from year 10 year bringin:
d an increased yearly addition of desir
