cording to new figures of the census

The decision to locate the col
lege in Bismarck follows a long
investigation by the heads OF
the Lutheran synod Of the
northwest, and based upon the
favorable reports made by those
who investigated the synod au-
thorized the location Of the col
lege in Bismarck.
Pleased with City
The church heads are we'll pleased
with Bismarck as the seat for col.
lege, and they intend to make the IN
stitution one Of the largest and best
that the church conducts.
1t will have the following depart
ments: College of commerce; con-
servatory of music, college of liberal
arts and Lutheran theological SEM
mary.
The conservatory of music probably
will be located in the center Of the
city, while the college will be in the
suburbs or beyond the city limits.
Several sites offered by the CONNER
cial club have been inspected by the
church heads and a selection will be
made soon.
M Fills Great Need
The college will fill a lOng-felt
want for the church. There now is
no college maintained by the church
between Moorhead. Mimi, where Con-
cordia college is located, and Spo-
kane, Wash. The Bismarck institu-
ton, therefore, will be the central
place Of learning for great territory
in the northwest.
1t is estimated that 70 per cent
of the church members in North Da.
kota are of the Lutheran denOmina.
ton, it was said by those who at
tended the conference.
The college will make particular
appeal to North Dakota young mel
and young women--it will be a. CO.
educational institution-and to those
Of other states.
The institution will emphasize the
English language, it is said, and will
be thoroughly modern in all methods
Of instruction.
Club Heads Aid
G. L. Young, president Of the Com
mercial club, and Geo. N. Keniston.
secretary, who have given co-opera-
tion and aid to the Lutheran heads
in working out the plans for the col
lege, are enthusiastic over the pros
poets. They believe that the institu.
ton not only will be great benefit
to the city, but will offer excellent
facilities for young men and women
in the central parts of North Dakota,
which they do not now enjoy.
Sees Future for City
Rev. Ulrich highly praised Dis
marck. He was especially impressed
by the friendliness and enthusiasm
of the people of the city, the pro-
gressiveness of the city government,
as shown by the paving program; and
the well-kept appearance of the homes
of the city.
He forsees a great future for Bis
marck, and believes that within an.
other ten years it will be the largest
city in North Dakota. Situated in
the center of distribution for large
area, with the Missouri Slope country
developing rapidly, he is as confident
in the city's future as the people Of
Bismarck themselves.
The presence of the state capitol
and it's library facilities is another
asset to the location of the college
here.
The educational program of the
Lutheran church is one of the broad
est Of any religious denomination.
Colleges and theological seminaries
are dotted all over the United States,
development in the northwest having
been the slowest of any part of the

1t will no doubt be of general as
well as local interest, says the Vir-

Gus letters of inquiry regarding the
system in vogue in the Virginia City
school of mines continue to be re-
ceived by ID. T. Smith, the instructor,
and come from all over the West.
For a number of years letters have
been received asking for detail infor-A

Eastern cities. Communications were
recently received from California,
Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Montana,
Arizona, New Mexico. Utah and Wyo-

Atlanta, Jersey City and New York
City, and in each instance further
enlightenment is sought of the work
of the school.
A letter received from California a
short time ago said: Il hope to be a
member of this splendid institution"
and inferred that a course would be
taken here in the near future. All of
the correspondence and communica-
lions have come as something of a
surprise, for the school has been given
no general advertising along publicity
lines during all the years of it's exist
ence here. The editor of the Mining
World at Chicago, who a short time
ago CHANGED to see a biennial report
of the school, wrote a personal letter
in which he stated he was astonished
to discover that such courses were
given anywhere in the country.
The courses are offered TO those
who have had limited opportunities
of schooling. Others. also, may avail
themselves of the offer and may start
at the point where their previous
schooling may seem to indicate. The
expense is practically nothing to the
