The first term commences Wednes-

begins Monday, February s., 1906,

The catalogue is well gotten up
and presents a thorough exposition
of the schools work. The printing,
we note, was done in Sioux Falls.
This office, as well as our competi-
tor, not to mention many other
Black Hills shops, is thoroughly
fitted for turning out this class Of
work. AS for ourselves, we had no
opportunity of bidding on the job, if
it was hidden for. Just why Black
