Teachers Association AdJourns.
Vermillion, Jan. AT a late hour
yesterday the Teachers Association Of
South Dakota adjourned It's sessions
until one year from date. Yesterday
being the last day was crowded to over
flowing with work, both Of a literary
and business nature. 1t has been a
general remark that too much has been
crowded into the four days OF h SEES
sion to give those attending an oppor-
tunity to hear anything. During each
day two departments n some OF the
time three have held their separate
meetings, and often it has been neces-
sary for the teacher to choose betwecn
several interesting papers. 1t was sug-
gested by some that the regular time OF
the session be extended to a week and
have but n department in session at a
time. All OF the exercises We're greatly
Abbreviated because OF the shortnCss OF
the time. Several papers were read
which have been left over from prevl-
Gus sessions. In the department Of coll
lcges and high schools Prof. Il. q. Gar
rett Of Spearfish, who a been de-
tanned It the Teachers association at
Lincoln, Ncb., read al able paper on
Teaching Patriotism in the Public
Schools" ITO be an American is better
han TO be a king" He brought with
him greetings from the assembly at
Lincoln from a body Of teachers LOO
strong. An exhaustive paper was read
by Prof. A. Bede Of Redfield on the sub
ject. How to Teach Dakota Lads to
Use Good English" The discussion was
opened by T.. j. &uigley of Mitchell.

the session was carried out. ideals

college. Owing TO his inability TO be pres
pnt the paper was read by President II. x.
Warren of Yankton college. A business
meeting at 4 o'clock animated things
somewhat for an hour or two. Several i'm
portant questions were discussed, one be-
ing the ACCESSIBILITY Of appointing a com
mittee TO wait upon the legislative body
this winter in order to have some needed
changes made In the school laws. The
school laws are very complicated and DIFF
ncult to understand by the average per-
son. The chair appointed Messrs. Mduck,
Rock, Webster, Myers. Hind, Kingsbury
and Solem as members Of this committee.
The evening session opened by music after
which DR.. Kratz Of Sioux city, was in
troduced, who delivered his famous lee
ture on Child study" DR.. Kratz was
greatly pleased to address an audience
in the chapel Of the state university OF
South Dakota because 1t brought to him
many pleasant recolections Of the time
when he vas connected with the col
lege. The lecture was exceedingly in
teresting and was applauded most hear
tily. A vote OF thanks was extended to
the doctor by the audience, for the
pleasant instruction which he gave in
his lecture. The remainder of the ses-
sion, as well as the year, was spent en-
joyably at East Hall. The Vermillion
orchestra furnished music throughout
the evening. Refreshments were served
at a late hour. To the patriotic song of
America and the solemn hymn GOD BE
with You Till We Meet Again" the
Teachers association of 1896 was con-
cluded and amid the happy scenes of
the birth of another ear well wishes
were said and the session was brought
to a close.
