Promises to be Ono Of the Most Successful
Ever Held In the County.
The second session of the Fall River
county teachers institute under the
present superintendent Is now being
held in the high school building in this
city. Mrs. Thornby has raised the
standard Of the educational work in
the public schools of this county very
materially since she has tbeen superin-
tendent. No small factor in this
achievement has been the very effective
normal training she has provided the
teachers in the institute and this year
she has again secured most compe-
tent corps Of instructors. The session
promises to be the most profitable in
the history of the county. About fifty
are in attendance.
In charge of the mathematics, book
keeping, didactics and current events
is Pres. p. r. Lymer of Black Hills COL
lege.
Miss Hattie Burns of Yankton gives
Instruction in reading, geography and
grammar.
G. w. Fallon of Custer county has
charge of American literature, history,
photography and drawing.
Mrs. Thornby very ably conducts the
primary work.
On Wednesday afternoon DIR. Har-
gems gave lecture before the institute
on the circulation of the blood. His
talk pertained particularly to the his
tology of the blood and was very inter-
esting and instructive. After the lec-
ture he demonstrated the circulation
in the web foot of a rama by the aid of
the microscope, giving the teachers an
excellent definition of capillary circu
lation.

Rev. Browns Report on Congregationalism
AT the 72nd anniversary of the
home missionary society cf the Con-
gregational church, celebrated at
Cleveland this week by a national
gathering, the report of Rev. A. A.
Brown, superintendent for Wyoming
and the Black Hills, was presented.
One source of great encouragement is
found in the fact that the work in hand
is steadily increasing, says the report,
and in spite of the general spirit of un-
rest the spirit of permanency is abroad
among us, the churches especially are
looking to greater pernlanency in the
pastorates.
The careful study of the problems of
the field has not been an easy, though
a necessary task. 1t has not been easy
even for an optimist to keep down
the prevailing pessimistic feeling so
general among the people. The pray
erful consideration given to the work
in detail, the sympathy of soul that has
gone to the struggling missionaries
and churches sorely pressed, and the
anxiety lest the Masters kingdom
should suffer through neglect or un-
wise management of the interests in
trusted to the superintendent, are
matters which cannot enter the report,
and yet they constitute the larger part
of the years work Rev. Brown also
gave detailed review of the work of
each place in the field under his super
intendency.
