improvements in the Spearfish Education
al Institution and New Attractions
for 1890 and 1891.
This school openes September Is, bet
ter equipped for work than ever before.
During the vacation many improvements
have been made in the building, the lab
oratory has been fully completed and
furnished, and several hundred volumes
have been added to the reference and
miscellaneous library. The governor,
state superintendent, regents of educa-
tion, county superintendents, and all
other persons that have visited the school
unite in pronouncing it an admirable in
stitution, second, SO say those whose OBJ
servation has qualified them to judge, to
none in the state. The commercial de-
partment will be more thoroughly organ
lied than ever. Typewriting, shorthand,
and bookkeeping can be learned here as
thoroughly as anywhere else and with
less expense. Every department OF the
school will be better than before. Ar
rangments have been made with Mrs. L.
J. Preece, one of the most distinguished
teachers of Delsarte in the United States,
to give instruction in reading, voice cul-
ture, and physical culture for four weeks
in the early part of next term. She will
teach each class in school 40 minutes a
day. The instruction will be absolutely
free, the only expense being 30 cents to
each student for the printed outline OF
the course. Mrs. Preece has taught in
San Francisco, st. Paul, Cincinnati,
Sioux City, st. Louis and other large
cities of the west. Last winter she re-
ceived $500 and all expenses for i've
weeks work at Sioux city. She has. an
offer of 800 per week and expenses to
go to Cincinnati. For private lessons
her terms are $3 per hour. Read the
following from the Voice Magazine:
ssMrs Preece is an enthusiastic educa-
tor and holds prominent place as
teacher and exponent of Delsartean prin-
cipals and movements, a culture she has
acquired under the leading Boston and
New York teachers of this new system oi
elocution and gestures. She has hao
widespread notice from the press of the
northwest and all the large northern
cities for good work in the schools Al
though possessed Of sufficient means tc
place her beyond any necessity for work
in any field, her love for her art is toe
great to allow her to rest while there il
work to be done in improving the voice
carraige, ease and grace OF the people
The voice of the people is the voice o
God cannot be taken literally when VI
recall the harsh, nasal, snarling voices
that SO many persons have. Love, sym
pathy. majesty, godlike qualities, are no
expressed through the human voice as
rule. That these qualities are capabl,
of cultivation in nearly every voice is nov
accepted as an axiom, and it is the prov
4 ince Of elocution to restore these los
I chords, to re-tune the harp whose string
are rusted and broken. AS an earnes
worker in this broad field Mrs. Preece i
recognized as power by every one witt
whom she comes in contact. Her worl
I in st. Louis before her marriage is still
& felt.n
