Board of Education Decides to Raise tho
Term for Graduating Glasses.
The regular meeting of the board of
education was held Friday evening,
and there was practically full attend
ance of the members.
AT several previous meetings of the
board supt. Quigley has brought up
the matter of extending the high
school OF study from three to four years
and at this meeting the board adopted
the change, 30 that in the future Mitch
ellis schools will be on par with any
schools in the state. It was shown by
an examination of the courses of study
of nearly all OF. the cities of the state
that ours WAS the only three years
course left, cities with less than one
half our population having four year
courses. The new course differs from
the old one chiefly in the length of
time given to the studies. The only
new branches of study added are
chemistry and trigonometry, one year
of Latin, one-half year in algebra,
geometry, history and from three to
twelve weeks were added to the other
studies. 1t was shown by the COM
parison of this course of study with
those OF twelve or fifteen cities of this
and other states, that it was in line
with the courses of the most progress
i've schools, tho only noticeable differ
enoe being the optional courses in
German, French, and Creek, and in
business offered by the large cities.
Tho addition of elective courses re-
quire large member of teachers. Our
high school ranks third in the state in
numbers. With the two, courses
sdopted-Latin and scientific and
with no material Increase in numbers
the present teaching force will be
sufficient. 1t Was decided to issue to
those completing tho first three years
OF the course IN intermediate certif-
cate which would show the amount and
character of ths work done.
The board also decided to put new
single seats in the three rooms in the
new buildi ing which: are now equipped
with double aeAts. Clerk Wallace
made his report, the financial features
of which were given in an article In
THE REPUBLICAN several weeks ago.
Adjournment WAS taken until Aug. ID
whom the seats will be purchased and
also the tax levy for the coming year
will be made.

HOME FROM THE CHAUTAUQUA
About All the Mitchell People Have Re-

About All the Mitchell People Have Re-
turned From Big Stone City.
About the last of the Mitchell contin-
gency, which has been in attendance at
the Big Stone Chautauqua for the past
wo weeks, arrived home Tuesday morn
ing, the Chautauqua having closed
Monday. Among them we're Rev. and
Mrs. r. N. Kratz, Rev. and Mrs. A. G.
Stevens, Mr.. and Mrs. 8. q. Scallin,
Mrs. 1. Windle and Miss Sarah Scsllin.
During the Chautauqua Mrs. Stevens
was pressed into the service rs one OF
the soloists and of her singing the
Daily Chautauquan made the following
pleasant references: "Mrs. A. G. Stev-
ems sang very pleasing solo. She
is possessed of sweet, soft voice, we'll
cultured and musical. She was round
ly encored. She will be here through
out the assembly and will be heard
again." The Chautsuqua was quite =
success in every way and much of it
was contributed by the Mitchell peo-
pie, of whom there were quite num- Der
present, there being larger represen-
tation from this city than from any
other city in the state. Rev. Mr..
Kratz was the leader of the Sunday
School normal and Mrs. Kratz was the
assistant organist. The University
Ladies' Quartet and the State Juvenile
Band contributed to the musical mum.

LOOKING OVER THE CROPS.
Several Milwaukee Railroad Officials Wow

Several Milwaukee Railroad Officials Wow
the Crops From the Cars.
About this time of the year the head
officials of the Milwaukee road go over
thssystem in South Dakota to look
over the crop conditions in order that
they may satisfy Themselves by q
personal inspection something of the
situation. Friday several of the
officials oongregated at Mitchell and
started away in party to see what
there was to be seen. Supt. Cosgrave
arrived from the east on q special train
and awaited the coming of Assistant
General Superintendent VIII. Under
wood, of Minneapolis, who arrived in
his private car from the north, ac-
companied by Supt. Scott, of Aberdeen.
About noon another special train ar
rived from the south bringing General
Manager w. G.. Collins, Roadmaster,
j. B. Moll, and Assistant General
Superintendent G. A. Goodnow, of Chi
cago, and Supt. L. B. Beardsley, of
Sioux City in their private cars. A
train Of Swo cars were made up, and
manned by Conductor Brainard and
Engineer VIM. Woodman, the officials
started out to Chamberlain shortly
after noon.
The party consisted of al the above
named officials with the exception of
Messrs. Goodnow and Besrdsley, who
returned to Sioux City by apecial train.
The official party will spend several
days looking over the crop conditions
and will cover what the railroad boys
call the merry-go-round, that is the
Marion Junction, Scotland, Running
Water and Armour branches. The
officials have ii easy and pleasant on
these trips ~ they are whirled over
the country by careful epginsers At SO
miles IN hour and the cares OF railroad
life are minimized to certain extent,
although they are in close oommuuica-
tion with their headquarters while on
the road. The superintendents kept
Operator Meuters pretty busy with
messages while they were awaiting the
arrival of the trains. The special re-
turned from Chamberlain at O'Clock
and went east.

In tho "Pearl of Savoy the Home Poo

Although the audience in attendance
at the "Pearl of Savoy" Monday even
ing was not 90 large as on previous
occasions, when home talent has been
the attraction, yet strong appreciat-
ion was shown for the merits of the
performance, The drama was put on
under the direction of Miss Emison and
Arthur w. Smith for the benefit of the
Holy Family church. The play is q
strong one in many respects and it was
handled very cleverly by the company,
the mem bers of which were we'll up in

was not allowed to drag. The oharac-
ters were we'll assigned and no criti-

mill, cold drawn shafting and a fence
and wire mat business. He was back
ed by Mr.. Carnegie.
HARTMAN WALKED THE PLANK.
About 1890 Mr.. Hartman and Mr.. Car
negie had an encounter similar to the
one with Mr.. Prick. and they parted
company, Mr.. Carnegie buying MIR.
Hartman out. The American Steel &
Wire Company has since purchased the
plant from the Consolidated Steel &
Wire Company, which concern secured
it from the C~arnegies.
1t is scarcely probable that Mr.. Frick
will withdraw from the profitable in
vestment he holds in the Carnegie
Steel Company, nor that he will erect
opposition plants for spite. His inter-
ests in the Carnegie Company are sec
ond to that of Mr.. Carnegie.
RESIGNATION ALWAYS ON HAND.
1t has been said that when Mr.. Car
negie engaged a manager or director he
secures a resignation from then before
hand, so as to hold it for future use.
This may not be true, as Mr.. Carnegie
holds enough of the stock to dictate
whatever policy he desires. ~Jealousies
and the gossip resulting therefrom, and
the tales carried to Carnegie by syco-
plants in the establishment, are re-
sponsible for all the troubles in the
place. Carnegie, it is said, likes to be
jollied, and Prick is not a specialist in
the art of jolly.

their nerve a strike is imminent. A
petition is being circulated asking the
management of the road to raise the
wages of all shop employees 20 per
cent. At a meeting held last night, a
committee was appointed to wait upon
the management and present the petit
ton, which, if not agreed to, the petit
TONERS declare will precipitate a
strike. They claim that the wages
paid the hands is rs to 1914 per cent
less than are paid by any other road,
and as this road, it is claimed, is a
veritable Klondike for its owners,
they should share in the profits. La
borers in the shops only receive from
