SIOUX FALLS, Dakota, Sept. 12.-The people
OF South Dakota have to deal with prohibition
at the polls when the constitution is submitted
for ratification. In the convention yesterday
numerous petitions were received to this end.
Articles relating to the Legislature and educa.
tion were adopted. Most of the committees
have made reports. There are safeguards
securing economy in every branch of the con-
stitution. School lands are protected closely.
The State cannot become involved in large
debts of any character excepting in time of
war or insurrection. The pardoning power
will likely be taken from the Governor and
vested in board Of pardons consisting OF
three men elected by the popular vote. There
seems to be desire to throw into the control
OF the ballot as many features Of State govern
ment as possible curtailing the powers of the
Legislature. Very great care has been taken
in adopting the reports.
A meeting Of the delegates and other citi-
zens of South Dakota is called for some day
prior to the adjournment to adopt protest to
the President against the reappointment Of
Gov. Ordway.

GREAT SCHOOL.
A MunifCient Endowment for a
New Academy in New
Jersey,
On the Eaton g. Rugby Plan,

New York Star.
With the funds now at their SON..
mand the trustees of the estate of the
late John O. Green, the New York
banker, are determined to give Prince.
ton, N. j., the most complete and ex.
tensive boys school In America.
When Mr.. Green died he left the
greater part Of his estate for the bene.
fit Of educational interests, and Prince.
ton has ,lready received In gifts and
beques ts over a million and a half dol.
lars The trustees Of the estate have
decided to expend $500, 600 In estsb.
fishing q boys school on the basis of
the great English public schools, and
for this purpose yesterday purchased
the L~awrencevllle Academy. five
miles from Princeton, paying S25, 600
for the buildings and good will. The
trustees are United States Judge
Nixon, Judge Green, Ok, Clerk of the
Supreme Court; Barker Gummere, and
other prominent men, who have long
had the plan under discussion. New
buildings will be begun at once.
The main features of the plan have
been taken from the great schools Of
Elton and Rugby and the successful
Phillips academy at Exeter. Tne most
novel feature, perhaps, Is the adoption
for the frat time In America of the
"form" system on a large scale, and the
six classes of boys will live In different
houses, be under the immediate per-
sonal supervision of the different mas
ters, and only the older boys will be
allowed to live In dormitorles No
tagging will be allowed, no charity
scholars will be taken, and the ex.
penses of the school year will be about
$400 for each pupil.
The trustees have more money than
they need for the purpose, and their
control of the trust is discreti ,nary.
While the new buildings are being
constructed the work of the old acsd-
envy, which has been In operation for
over three quarters Ct q century, will
not be disturbed. 1t Is not proposed
to establish college scholarships, and
the school will probably be made one
of the largest and most important
schools of high grade in the country.
Judge O. S Green, of Trenton,
says of the school: "It Is to be ab.
solutely Ind dependent of any control
except Its own board of trustees.
Lswrenceville was selected as the site
of such a -choel for several reasons
1t was my brothers birthplace and he
received all his education at the old
Lawrenceville school, which he left at
the age of Ia to 60 into business In
New York. To put the Lawrence
Vile school, which has been establish
cd So years, on new footing was al
ways a favorite idea of his, and Mrs.
Green is only carrying out his ex
pressed intentions In the present plans.
