YANKToN INDIAN RESERVATION.
FRIENDS or THE c. c.: In response to Hope
home. Now, don't expect picturesque scenery,
beautiful woods brooks and pretty birds with
wonderful sweet voices, for you will get nothing
OF the sort On the contrary, there Is only a vast
stretch Of prairie reaching away 10 the south, that
is Just now clothing Itself with beautiful mantle OF
green. The only birds that fit over its broad plains
and build their nests in the silent grasses are the
meadow lark, the first bird that greets with song
~ the Spring. the ployer with its shrin cry; black
that rarely have anything TO say. Geese brauts
and ducks found on the numerous lakes scat
tered over its surface Around the lakes edges, in
the 'ail grass they build their nests and rear ther
young. In the evening, just as the sun Is bidding
rs good-by or IN the morning wheE he first climbs
the hills of the east the wild prairie chicken lifts
MS uui sober voice TO the declining or the dawn
ing day.
This broad prairie IS the Yankton Indian Reser-
walton, and back Of it, towering up To meet the
clouds, the bluffs OF the :" Old Muddy They
make beautiful frame TO the pretty picture of
green below them. At first sight they appear TO be
hafIly a mile away. we'll remember how, when
we ntst came here, after viewing tie strange
rounulngs, seated myself on a stone by the house
and remarked compacentiy. Guess I'll go over
to those hills after get my dinner A shout from
the rest Of the family greeted this remark. Those
lills were . miles away !-rennie War, Armour,

WHERE THE FAULT LIES.
FRIENDS OF THE G. c.: I hardly indorse Mr..
SeamGn,s letter Errors III Teaching" but
THINK there are many successful lady teachers
throughout this broad land. long experience,
however, IN ungrHded work has taught me that
fully one-haif Of the young lady teachers in the
West are deficient in scholarship school govern
hlelt ana natural ability. This, / think, IS not
saying any injury TO the ladies' in question but
thorough knowledge of the school laws and sys-
TEN OF most States shows that the fault is in the
system and not with The teachers.
For instance, The school laws of Nebraska, Min
nesota, wyoming and Nevada. and presume many
others give the County Superintendent Board
OF Examiners the exclusive right and powerto give
or annul certificates at their discretion; l. e,
District Board agrees with young friend to hire
nun, provided ne can obtain certificate, and at
the same time sends WORD 10 the Superintendent
that this young friend is scholar enough to teach
their school Now the Superintendent knows that
TINS district can pay only S25 per month"; exclusive
al expenses. No experienced teacher viii take the
school, and the only alternative Is for the Supern-
tendent 10 grant the certificate This, in measure,
exhonerates this class of teachers from blame
