SOUTH DAKOTA TEACHERS
-. READING CIRCLE.

To the teachers of Jerauld county:
Fnily appreciating the small salaries
you receive and the earnestness YOU
have shown your work, am very
unwilling to ask anything that VIII
entail expense. Yet the reading circle
work, mentioned below, Is so import
ant and would tend so much to unity
our work in tesshihv and Increase its
efficiency that I think it advisable even
In our circumstances to take up the
work. Let all who will study the
Course order the books at once and
send their names tothe superintendent
who viii forward them to Vermillion.
1t is not practicable to organize local
circles at present, but instead 1t is rec
commended that all who can, meet, as
frequently as possible and discuss the
Readings. A careful study of the
Course will enable to enter our next
Institute prepared to give and receive
greater benefit than heretofore and
improve cur standing as teachers.
Sincerely yours,
