Teachers Resolve.

The attendants at Grant county sum.
mer school before the close of the
school unanimously adopted the fol-
lowing resolutions:
We, the teachers of Grant county
at Simpson Park assembled. acknowl-
edglnglt to be our first duty to strive to
keep an even pace with the advance
ment along educational lines, and to
make ourselves available of every
opportunity to do SO, do hereby adopt
the following resolutions:
Whereas, the Teachers Reading
Circle, tn Teachers Meetings, and
the County Institute are potent factors
In the preparing and perfecting of the
teacher for his responsible position,
and whereas, the aforementioned insti-
tutlOns ar within reach Of every
teacher, therefore be it resolved:
First. That the South Dakota
Teachers Reading Circle shall find
in every Grant County Teacher an
active member and ardent supporter
) cond. That we individually
pledge ourselves to aid in making
the meetings of the Teachers Associ-
alton for the ensuing year more lively
and interesting than they have been
heretofore, by casting off all reserve
and taking an active part in the dis
cussions.
Third.-That the four meetings be
held in the following places: the first
at Mllbank, the second at Marvin, the
third at Revillo, and the fourth at
Big Stone City.
Fourth. we gratefully :
preciate the commendable manner in
which Supt. Ramer and his corps Ct
instructors have made this institute SO
beneficial to each and every attend
ant, and we especially recommend for
next year the primary department
work, also the lectures on physics, as
valuable additional features to our
regular program.
Fifth. That we recommend for next
year the same time, place and plan OF
holding the institute as was carried
out this year. We would recommend
having the primary work and the
lectures on physics in the afternoon,
and the forenoon program SO arranged
that no two of the studies additionally
required for first grade certificate
shall come in the same period, thus
affording an opportunity for such who
wish to review those subjects to take
all of them.
Sixth. That we thank Prof. Fitch
and Deputy State Supt. G. j. Schel-
lenger for their interesting lectures
to the institute.
Seventh we thank the Simp-
son Park Association for granting
us permission to convene on these
grounds.
Eighth. That copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to the County papers,
the County Teacher, and the South
Dakota Educator for publication.

from Linn where he had been Wis

THE COMMERCIAL CLUB
TAKE DEFINITE ACTION CONCERN
ING THE REPAIR OF ROADS.
Final Opportunity Offered Those who
Wish to Subscribe to the Road and
Bridge Repair Fund to Do So Be-
tween Now and Thursday Night.

The Commercial Club met in the
city hall last night at s O'Clock.
the following members being pres
ent: DR.. A. J. Wolverton, presl-
dent: Sidney Suggs, vice-president;
w. H. Murphy, J. NJ. Golledge,
W. 0. Duston, J. B. Spragins, H.
NJ. Archer and II. p. Evetts, mem
bers of finance committee.
The finance committee made its
report, which showed that Lite a
number Of the business men had
contributed literally to re road
and bridge fund, while others paid
very little and some failed to sub
scribe one cent for this purpose.
Owing to the fact that several
of our foremost business men DO
not realize the Importance of put
ting the roads which lead into the
city in better condition, and be-
lieving it to be unfair for a few
men to assume the whole burden
it was moved and carried that an
other meeting be called for next
Thursday night at s O'Clock, in
order to give those who have fail
ed, so far, to help, one more chance
to carry their part of this burden
and then topublish the names of
the men who did subscribe, with
the respective amounts, and to re-
fund each one his money, provided
those who have failed to contribute
do not do so before. or during.
Thursdays meeting.
Now gentlemen, if you cannot
attend this meeting just send the
money, otherwise all of the money
that has been paid will be refunded
to the men who gave it. The list
of all who have paid will be pub
lished in Sundays and the follow
ing weekly ARDMoREITE. This is
not to coerce anyone into paying,
but to show the whole people who
would like to come here to trade
just who want them to come.
1t was reported that the big
bridge near Cheek, on the Simon
road was about to tumble down
and that the small outlay of $20
would save it and put it in good
repair. H. p. Evetts was appoint
ed to go out there today and en-
ploy a reliable. competent man to
make such repairs as were needed
to save the bridge.
Edgar Choat is on the sick list.
