TEACHERS MEETING.

Regardless of the threatening
aspect of the weather a large and
enthusiastic gathering of teachers
shared the welcome smiles and large
hearted hospitality of the good peo-
pie of Bristol on Saturday last.
About twenty teachers from the
vicinity Of Webster and Waubay
drove over as did about an equal
number from Andover and Pierpont.
The program was rendered nearly
as published.
Prof. Rice's paper on penmanship
was a mastery and exhaustive treat
Use upon a very important but sadly
neglected part of a practical business
education.
Prof. Rock handled the relative
pronoun with all its knotty construc-
tons in his usual happy and in~struc-
tive style, being ably seconded by
Prof. Lawyer, of Waubay.
Miss Whited's production on
"Child Development" displayed cul-
ture and taste and an intuitive
knowledge Of child nature which
called forth the warmest admiration

understood that Miss w. has had to
contend with aud overcome difficult
ties from which many are exempt,o our
admiration fol her splendid courage
ADD slreiess energy grows with each
successful effort which she puts forth;
for though still quite young, she has
attained a degree Of excellence in
he's line of work which very many
older teachers do not possess.
Miss Emma Perrine followed with
an able and interesting paper upon

Rev. DibbIe, OF Webster, delivered a
splendid sermon in the Gibson school

taken our people by storm.

Good Advice To Boys.
BY c. II. PRATT.
''TATTLER.'

The boy who is wanted in the busy
world OF to-day must be educated, ii his
parents cannot afford to give hima high
school or college education, he must
learn to study without the aid OF u
teacher; in the early morning before bus
mess begins, and in the evening, alter
business hours. 1t can no longer be
truthiulIy said that an education is out
OF our reach.
Our splendid school system, where one
can study by day or in the evening, has
put that priceless treasure-an education,
within the reach OF all. Don't be in u
hurry to get away from your school
books, the cares and responsibilities OF
business lie viii come soon enough; Go
to school as long as you IAN und remeIn-
Der every hour spent in study in your
youth will b. worth money 10 you in
after life, Read good books, the Bible
above all, make yourselves acquainted
with history, study the progress OF ma
lions and the career OF men who have
made nations great. Study religion,
science, statecraft and history.
Learn to read intelIigently so that you
may turn to practical Use IN after life the
readings OF your youth. Be sure you be-
gin right.
Don't waste your time in trashy books,
stay at school another year or two, aud
don't be ashamed OF what ought to he
your glory that you want to learn to
acquire nowledge.
Step from the district school to the
high school, to the college, if you can.
Get a business education by all means.
You will never learn too much, il you de-
sire to become a machinist instead of an
engineer or a farmer an education will
better TIT you for either. Get into the
right place and stay there. There never
war a business in which all failed. Young
mel, you are the architect Of your own
fortunes" Rely upon your own strength
OF body and soul. Take, for our star,
self reliance, don't take too much advice,
keep at your helm and steer your WI
ship, aud remember that the great art of
commanding successfully is to take a
fair share OF the work. Think well Of
yourself. Strike out and assume your
own position. Rise above the e~nvious
and jealous. Fire above the mark you
intend to hit. Energy and invicible de.
termination are the levers that move the
world. Make money and do good with
it. BE honest and faithful to youriellow
men. He who freely praises what he
means, and he whoenum.rate. the faults
OF what he mean to sell may set up a
partnership with honesty. Ii will always

ANNUAL MEETING
Of South Dakota Educational Asso-
citation. TO Be Held at Huron,
Dec. 26-7-9, 1894.

The State Teachers Association
does not restrict itself to teachers
alone, but invites to its meetings and
into its membership all citizens of
of South Dakota who are interested
in education.
This is not a meeting simply for
high school teachers and college pro-
f~essors, though there is an interesting
program for each of those depart
ments, but it will be of special inter
est to teachers of rural and village
schools. A very interesting and
profitable program has been prepar-
ed for the common school depart
ment, and counties are going to vie
with each other as t o which will send
the largest delegation of teachers.
The citizens of Huron extend a
cordial invitation to the members of
the association and to teachers
throughout the state.
Entertainment can be had among
the best families of the city for 81 or
less per day.
For those who prefer the freedom
Of hotel life the following are the
rates: Depot Hotel, $3.50; Dakota
House, sl.O0; Windsor House, S1.0O.
Each County Superintendent is
earnestly requested to inform the
corresponding secretary, as soon as
possible, as to the number from his
or her county who will be expected
to attend.
A committee of local teachers will
meet visiting teachers at the trains,
assigning them to places where they
will be made to feel at home.
The r. r. rates will be a fare and
a fifth for the round trip. In order
to secure these rates purchasers must
pay one full fare from the starting
station. If over more than one road,
a certificate must be secured from
each agent of whom a ticket is
bought The certificate being sign
ed by the secretary at Huron, the
holder will be entitled to a return
ticket for one fifth fare. Now don't
buy round trip tickets, but buy on
certificate plan. These reduced rates
are warranted to all who thus buy.
1t is the cheaper and better way.
1t is expected that not only all the
outgoing, but all the incoming
county superintendents will be
present.
Teachers of South Dakota. let us
show to the people of the state that
we are alive to the responsibilities of
our profession by making this the
largest and most profitable meeting
that has yet been held in the state.

These figures show that, while the
total congressional vote of the state
has increased about 4 900, or some
thing more than 81 per cent: since
1892, the total republican vote has
increased only 1890, or a little more
than 8 per cent, while the demo-

more than 43 per cent. These com

for ms experiment and observation can dis

In reality, however, no diminution in
