The Yankton county teachers institute
opened in the court room in this city
this morning, about fifty teachers from
in and out of the city being present.
County Superintendent 7. S. Dickson
opened the exercises by an address of
welcome. The address contained much
that was entertaining, End commanded
the attention of the audience through
out. Mr.. Dickson touched upon the
present school system, it's defects and
advantages, and upon the benefits
derivative from Institutes. Hequoted the
law recently passed by congress concern
ing the study of the effect of alcoholic
drinks and narcotics on the human sys-
tenn, which the law says must be studied
from books IN the hands Of scholars
in the common schools throughout the
territory and makes punishable
any neglect of teachers on
this poiut. The superintendent closed
by thanking the teachers present
for their attendance and attention and
referred the teachers to the printed pro-
grammes in hand for u schedule of work.
After MIR. Dickson, Gen. w. II. II.
Beadle took the floor, and for a quarter
of an hour gave his ideas of the proper
distribution of time in school rooms, the
reasons why more time should be given
to some studies than others, and many
other interesting subjects. Thus
the time until eleven O'Clock was spent,
when a committee consisting OF Mrs.
]. P. Wagner and Mrs. S. w. Swift
was appointed to supply music during
the in%stitute.
Gen. Beadle then called for some one
to start a song, and Hold the Fort
WAS sung with q spirit that made the
court house ring.
After this the meeflng WAS adjourned
to meet in the high school room at 1880
p. m. for regular work. The time from
the adjournment until noon was passed
in social conversation by which all be-
came acquainted with each other and
the arrival of noon called the assembly
to dinner.
The afternoon session was highly
entertaining, but detailed &C.
count of the same is crowded out until
