OUR COUNTY SCHOOLS.
INA and Suggestions by tia
County superintendent,

Eattors Press and Dah0tajan:
Agrceably to your invitation, | will con.
tribute from time to time brief notes on the
schools OF Yankton county. 10 my visits
as superintendent, among a part of the
schools under my supervision, great diver
sity OF merit is found, some districts receiv-
ing much more benefit than others, from
the outly of the public money. 1t has not
been the custom of former sup~erintendents
to record any notes of their examination OF
schools; and | even find that the examina.
ton papers of those applying for license to
teach have all been destroyed. | shall pro-
coed on a different plan, and regard all these
papers and records of my official acts as
the public property of my office, open to the
inspection OF all interested persons. Teach
ers and applicants desiring to stand high in
these records will probably labor to i'm.
prove their scholarship and the condition
of their schools. Names are omitted for
the present, but may be given in future re-
ports. A. w. BARBER,
Supt. Of Schools.
DISTRICT No. II
comprises eighteen sections or the north
half of town 90, range 81, and is wholly
settled by Bohemian families. They re-
port VI legal scholars but only 33 attended
school the last year, as many families live
from two to three miles from the school.
Hence a division is greatly needed. | found
on May 9th 80 pupils enrolled, but only II
present in a very good log house. Order
and obedience good, study going On quietly
and apparent love and goodwill bet ween
teacher and children; but a great obstacle
to their progress was found in the fact that
only three or four could understand Eng
lisb, or communicate with their teacher
intelligently. From this cause their at
tainments were very limited. | advised
constant efforts to teach them talk and un-
derstand English, instead of constant read
ing and spelling.
IsTRICT NO. 10,
includes the south half of the same town.
ship and the north IL sections of the next
one south an immense tract of land of 80
square miles, with the school house at
Lakeport. They report 1T legal scholars,
only 40 of whom attended during last win
ter. Thus the district draws public money
on at least SO or so children to whom it
gives no school privileges. because of their
distance from school. The families a,e
chiefly Bohemian. l found on May 9th
only q OF these 1T legal scholars enrolled,
and 20 present. Log house, with not very
good desks, nor blackboard house called
very cold in winter. The school was being
well taught in many respects, as peace,
goodwill and order were evident through
out.

About Is Of these were on the roll June

school were orderly, neat and quiet, the
rule seeming to be, al. study and no whis

but reading and spelling. and thes. in q
manner very unsatisfactory to me. States
were not used, and no instruction was being
given in geography, numbers, punctuation
marks or writing. Serious complaints were
made to me by patrons of the school and
| felt compelled to advise the board to stop
the school for the reasons given above.
DISTRICT 80. II
has lately built It's first school house, near
Utica, a commodious and we'll built frame
building with well, pump and o%ut-houses.
1t has seats and a black board, but no desks.
1t is not yel plastered. The district is too
large for the remotest families to profit
much by the school, and should be reduced
in size. Families mostly American. They
report 40 legal scholars, but only II were
enrolled on July Sd, and only nine present.
The school had begun only two weeks be
fore, yet everything was orderly and cor.
rect. No school haying been held for sew
erai terms, the grade of scholarship was
quite low, but speedy improvement will
follow the energetic management of The
present board and teacher.

The insanity Of DR.. j. G, Aver, Of
Lowell. Mass, affords a terrible
warning to advertisers, Here Was
a man engaged in the manufacture
Of a pill, not differing much from a
hundred other pills which may be
obtained at any drug store. In an
unguarded moment he made up his
mind that he would advertise, not
in the picayune style ofthe ordinary
dealer, but in a comprehensive sort
of way, by which he could reach ev-
cry possible purchaser of pills. lie
starred with the idea Of devoting
half his profits yearly to advertising.
The result might have been fore
seen. lie accumulated money so
rapidly that he did not know what
to DO with it, When he had rolled
together Sl5,0O0,000, and had vainly
striyen to find some outlet for his
ever-increasing profits, his mind
gave under the absorbing cares Of
his vast business, and he is now a
patient at an asylum for the insane.
How easily this calamity might have
been averted' If he had stuck to the
conservative method Of many Of our
merchants, and refrainGd from ad-
vertising, he might have been pass
ing quietly through bankruptcy
now, instead Of beng loaded down
with his qncounted millions.
1t ia a dangerous experiment for
a man who does not want to become
rich to advertise; or if he advertises
at all, he must do 80 grudgingl = and
at long intervals, lest his profits
should grow out of all proportion to
his requirements, and he should find
himself burdened with wealth. Ad-
vertising, conducted on the principal
Of devoting half the profit of a
business to it, is, we repeat, a dan
gerous experiment. 1t precipitates
a fortune upon the advertiser so
suddenly that chances are even that
he will not know what to do with
his money. The multitudinous pleas
ures of bankruptcy, insolvency, and
"shinning around" for the where
withal to meet note, are denied
to the man who aQvertises,
There never was in Europe or
America a great advertiser who did
not accumulate a fortune. Let those
who desire to live unburdened by the
cares Of wealth take warning.--EX.
