which follows:
FRIENDS -
We give you cordial greeting,
And bid you welcome here,
To the home of this dear couple,
Where is always found good cheer.
1t was long ago in the autumn time,
That the merry chimes so sweet
Rang in the morn of the wedding day
OF the two you have come to greet.
Fifty summers of life's sunshine,
Fifty winters past have rolled,
But the love enthl lOned in their hearts
that day,
Knows neither change nor cold.
They have battled with the surges
On life's tempestuous sea,
Ever steering toward the harbor
Where many mansions be-
But no winds, or waves, or tempests,
Could their staunch bark O'erwhelm,
For Faith was ever guiding light,
And true Love at the helm.
Their sons have grown to manhood,
And left the old home-nest,
The daughter, now a matron,
Has followed loves behest.
Shall we take a look about us,
And see who's in the room,
Now you've congratulated
The happy bride and groom?
COrinne, the dear daughter
Is present today,
From her home on the hill
Near at hand.
Home would not be home,
Should she fail to appear
In the midst of the loved
Household band.
And here is the Doctor.
Though it sounds rather odd.
To hear all address him that way
If YOU, as in old times!
Should call out for 'Fod,
You would find that
He'd answer, straightway.

President Lyiner's Report ON the College.
President Lymer, of the Black Hills
college. presented his report of the
the years work. Evidently equality
rather than quantity is the motto of
this institution. The report showed
much hard work but encouraging re-
suits. College work is an investment,
but II with great returns. The ex-
penditure for the year was s7.159, the
income sG,2s4, making a deficit of only
1919 in year of financial depression.
The bonds have been extended ten
years and $500 has been paid on bond
interest this year.
The prospect for increased enroll
ment this year is gratifying. The
school will open promptly Sept. ii.
Every member of the old faculty will
be present at the opening of the new
school year. Loyalty, faithfulness and
self-denial is characteristic of these
professors. The faculty has boon
strengthened by the election of a pro-
fessor of physical culture and oratory.
1t is also expected that a professor of
vocal music, who will also assist in in
strumental music, will be elected.
President Lymer is an untiring
worker and has the confidence and
support of the entire conference which
with the cooperation of his efficient
board of trustees, bespeaks for the col
lege a hopeful future. Rapid City

The Education of Our Daughters.

Every parent is bound by the most sacred obligations to give to all his chill dren the least possible educational ad- vantages. To prepare them for the highest happiness that lif5 can bring, and to fit them for the greatest useful ness that life demands is duty that he cannot neglect without the mos: serious and wosful consequences to himself, to them, and to society.
 No matter where else he may fail, if @ man succeeds in the right education of his children his life is a success in th= highest and nobledl sense; per contra, If he fails here, no matter where else he may succeed, his life is a failure in that which Is most important, far-reaching, and eternal.
 As ones own intellectual and moral horizon broadens the greater and more vital is his interest in the education of his family; while, he who considers the right training of his children a matter of minor importance, stamps both himself and them with the badge of his own ig- norance and selfishness.
 While the obligation is upon the parent to educate all his children, yet if differ ence must be made there are mighty
