If there is anyone thing which characterizes the enterprise of the West It is the establishing of schools and colleges for the children. The litti. miitta anitnnl house on the hill and in the valley has been almost the first consideration of all western pio neers. Moat of the early settlers were better educated than were their friends whom they left at the old home and they clearly foresaw that they coald not build up a new country with a firai foundation If they neglected- the eduoatlon of their children. .

At the present time our schools are fully equipped from the kindergarten 1 to the high school. The little tots ' have the very beat attention and they fin narefullv trained until they reach the high school. This department of schoolllfe has undergone a radical hanse from conditions a few years ago. Manual training, domestic science, shorthand and typewriting -courses have been added to the regular classical course. The result has been most gratifying. The boys and girls -who have no desire to study Latin have now several elective courses offer ed them and they consequently remain a school. The attendance xf our high school has increased three hundred per cent since these the elective cour ses have been installed, The boys learn to use the hammer and saw, the plane and chisel, the square and com pass and they manufacture racks, stools, tables, benches and the like with a dexterity that would do credit to an experienced carpenter. They en ter into their work with zeal and en thusiasm. They feel that they are learning to be useful citizens. At--tendunccat school is a delight in Dlace of burden.

This Issue of Tiie Chief closes ths fourth year under the present manage ment. We certainly have appreciated the generous patronage given us by the merchants of this city and the people of the surrounding country. Four Years ago this paper was suffer ing from the effects of an incompetent administration, Its presses were out of repair, its print was poor and its pat ronage was rapidly declining. The outlook was not very bright but we thought that we saw the possibilities of the future and that there was a place in this community for The Chief to fill. During the four years we have greatly added to the equipment, mend ed the presses and to the best of our ability have built up the plan.

Some are more "Christmassy" than others. , We are not going to make any comparisons except to say. that we really believe that you givers of gifts will find more of the real spirit of the season evidenced ' in OUR this year's display than you will find within many miles of this stpre.2 $ Giving Jewelry doesn't mean that there's a lot of money to pay, either not necessarily. , ..... . in tact mere are any number ot articles ncre that you can own for less than a dollar. , But what we want to particularly emphasize here', is that you can't' have a want at thistime, but we meet it with the precise article you desire atits lowest price,," You can understand just what, we mean if you call.
