this was necessary institution Ia these
times of danger, and doubtless there was
much that wss sanguinary in its make up.
We have. however, searched the records
industriously, and interviewed all the odd
est inhabitants" to discover if there were
any private soldiers in the Guards" and
failed. Their identity and their deeds are
alike shrouded in an inglorious oblivion
and history knows. them not.
But We are growing lengthy in our re-
marks. The written history Of our city is
but meagre in Its details and tradition has
all but forgotten the unrecorded part. The
flrst legislative assembly of the territory
convened in Yankton in March, 1862, aud
each successive legislature has honored our
city with Its presence. As the capital of
Dakota territory we hayes grown from an
almost unknown Indian post TO thriving
city Of 5000 souls and have the prospect
of doubling our population within the next
two years. We are the people Of as enter.
prising community as can be found west
of the Mississippi. We arc advanced far
beyond the country which surrounds us
and Me next decade will lind Yankton
down as the leading commercial point OF
what issnow an almost unoccnpied region.

We find on the record that Dakota terri.

Yankton was then about all there was of
Dakota the beginning is a part of our local
history. The nrst officers were: William

those days. Dakota's first delegate to con-
gress was j. B. s. Todd and the elective
territorial officers were: Justus Towns.

Educational Errors.

The practice of requiring young people
to pursue studies that will give them no
definite ideas of the great duties of life,
that will not prepare them to fill stations
Of efficiency, is one that should be depre-
Gated. and should receive no sympathy
from the people. Let lad be taught
something that will prove of practical
advantage to him when he has become a
man, and let girls be taught to feed and
protect and properly clothe the body,
which is one of the mo t important les
sons young miss can learn. Let young
people of both sexes be taught to speak
and write the English language with cor
rectness; then let them learn the names
ofplants, fowers,ro and soils, all about
them and let them exercise their facu-
ties in the geography of their ownsstate,
and they will be far more intelligent and
NOR estimable citizens than if these
studies were neglected for knowledge
of German and algebra.
