Mitchell Hopes to secure a Sh"rci'
School. -
The German Lutheran synod" OF
Iowa is making some Investigations IN
this state with the idea of building a
pro-college at some advantageous
point. The ministerial college is locat-
ed at Dubuque, Ia, and the pro-col-
lege at Clinton, Ia. but the latter IN
stitution is now filled with students
and cannot accept any more at the
opening of the fall term, which leaves
the German Lutherans in this state
without an institutional school to
which to send their children to college.
For several years the synodical Of
ficers have investigated Sioux rails,
Aberdeen and Eureka, and now they
are in conference with DR.. S. S~precher,
Of Mitchell, who has lately moved
there from Trip, who believes that
this city eventually will secure the
college. The first building to be erect
ed will be large enough to accommo-
late 400 students.
