Deadwood, S. D.-There are three in
StitutiOnS of learning in the Black
Hills that the people feel proud of.
They are the state school Of mines at
Rapid City, the state normal at Spear
fish and the Hot Springs college at Hot
Springs The school of mines has been
n great factor in the past in the build
ing up of the Hills. 1t is n state inSti-
tuition and the tuition is free. n de-
partment in English has been added
for this year. which will give the stu
dent II college preparation for either
the scientific or classical course. Many
experienced miners come in from the
mines for few weeks for the practic-
al mining courses. The present faculty
is made up Of Il. l.. Stagle secretary
and professor of chemistry: Howard l..
McLaury. mathematics: G. c. OHarra,
mineralogy and geology: Alexander
Forsyth, mining engineering and met
nllurgy; Mrs. Anna Slagle, English and
history: Myrick BolleS, engineering
and mining: &. l.. Lewis, mining law.
The school year will open Oct. 4. The
Spearfish normal is another state insti-
tuition. The attendance for the last
year was 222. in the normal courses
and so in the modelling department.
This was all the students the institu-
ton could accommodate. The attend
ance will be as large this year, and
there is need Of larger buildings 10 ac-
commodate all. The faculty consists
of ten instructors, several new mem
bers having been added this year. Prof.
T.. l.. Cook is the president. The
school year will open Sept. u. The Hot
Springs college is a Methodist institu-
ton, and it ranks with the best col
leges of the country. 1t has had hard
struggle for the past few years to make
both ends meet, but this year its tlnan-
cial condition is much improved. The
appointment of Prof. n. L. Free TO
take charge of the finances Of the col
lcge is considered fortunate. Prof.
Free placed the Iankton college on a
solid financial basis by his energetic
soliciting in the East. The faculty OF
the college is complete in numbers and
large attendance is expected. The
school year will open Sept. H.

Washington, Sept. II. - Gen. Miles

Secretary Alger, talking to Adit. Gen.
CorDin and Gov. Atkinson OF Georgia
wheE Gen. Miles arrived. The latter
was accompanied by n member of his
stan. The general shook hands with
the party when the business of the
governor was concluded. Gen. Miles
then chatted with Mr.. Meiklejohn over
the Porto Rican campaign and took
his departure. Gen. Miles said after
ward that there were number OF
matters that required deliberate con-
sideration with respect To the army
organization. and that undoubtedly
steps in the direction would be taken
as soon as practicable. The matter OF
mastering out the volunteer general

Reduction Of the Army
by mastering out, he said, would have

that evidently would cause a rear
rangement Of department commands.
With respect to the reorganization OF
the army Gen. Miles said that the eX-
pcrience Of this war had very clearly
demonstrated what military authOri-
ties well understood before, that the
establishment OF a standard was nee
essary to the entire efficiency OF the
army. He said that 1t was his intep-
tion to recommend plan Of reorgan-
ization TO congress, and he believed
the necessity for it would be recog-
nized by the public and by congress.
The acquisition of territory obviously
made 1t necessary that there should
Dc n larger army, and the experience
Of the war had demonstrated the
necessity OF establishing a standard
and having the troops thoroughly
trained to the military service.
Gen. Miles paid his respects to the
president u 1915 in the morning.
The call was brief, owing to the cabi-
net meeting ut y, and was confined 10
L formal exchange of courtesieS.

IT was not So yesterday. What were
