The Rapid City High School, which Mr. Coolidge uses for his offices. planned to resume sessions September 6, but the officials were willing to post- pone the opening until the White House force desires to move out. Both the President and Mrs. Coolidge repeatedly have expressed complete satisfaction with their Summer resi- dence. The President likes the hills, which remind him of his native Ver- mont, and they consider the climate suitable to them both. Two more trips to neighboring citles to attend celebrations that are held an- nually are on the President’s program. This week he will make a short trip to Custer, S. Dak., for that city’s Gold Discovery day, and on August 4 a spe- cial train will take him to Deadwood, S.
