to beat him. Senator Tillman may at
tend some of the meetings in this state
to show his gratitude, as he expressed

counties. He will aid in the national
Democratic fight in states other than
South Dakota.
A Call For Help.
Rev. G.. H. Waddell, superintendent
of the Epworth orphanage, has sent
out to the preachers, the following ap-
peal for help: Dear Brother: This
is the first time during this conference
year that We have felt obliged, because
of our Strengthened circumstances, to
make general call upon the churches
for help, through the preachers. Moth
ing short of a real need would make
me trouble you at this time. Our re-
ceipts have been rather larger than
usual but our expenses have been
much heavier. Our 100 children need
your help, your sympathy and prayers.
I am sure that it will give your con-
gregations real pleasure to contribute
to this important work of the Master.
And it will doubtless bring the Faith
er's blessing upon them and their
homes. Please read this letter to your
congregation and ask them to help us
quickly. Send cash contributions to
Rev. G.. H. Waddell, superintendent.

Nothing Personal. :
Washington correspondence News and
Courier: Take Senator Tillman and
Senator Hanna, for instance: Neither
ever spares the other in the course Of
political debate; nothing is too severe
for Tillman to say of Hanna, or Hanna
of Tillman. They got at it good and
hard on this armor plate question but
afterwards they went off and had a
good laugh together, for Hanna had
carried his point and was happy, while
Tillman had saved naval station for
South Carolina and thereby secured
unanimous support, or practically that,
for reelection to the senate. All OF
the active Republican debaters seem
to take pleasure in aiming their shafts
of ridicule at Senator Tillman, and yet
there is no man on the Democratic side
with whom they are 80 chummy. Sem
ator TilIman is irresistible. No mat
ter how hard the others may tryto get
mad with him over the biting, sarcastic
things he is 80 fond of saying, the SEN
ator from South Carolina will not al.
low it.
Information For School Teachers.
For the information of the school
teachers of the state, Superintendent
of Education McMahan has prepared
the following: Trustees should not
overlook the fact that the law>forbids
contract with a teacher who does
not hold certificate to teach, issued
within two years by the state board of
education or by the board of education
of the particular county in which the
teacher is to be employed. By neglec-
ting this law teachers and trustees
have gotten themselves into awkward
consequences. A person teaching
without a certificate with view to
standing the examination and winning
certificate, and then being able to
draw the accumulated salary, has been
more than once disappointed in secur-
i ing certificate and salary. The only
safe course for teacher or trustees is to
follow the letter of the law, and not to
attempt to make a contract unless al
that time the teacher holds an up.to-,
date certificate of qualification, record
ed and approved by the county super
intendent of education, whose appro-
val of every warrant must be OBJ
tanned before any money can be drawn.
A certificate expires in two years from
the date of issue. Before the expir-
alton of this period the old certificate
may be renewed by the board that
granted it, only, however, in case the
holder attended the summer school Gf
held in the county, or rendered to the
state board of education an accep-
table excuse for not having attended.
If certificate is not renewed with
in the two years, its holders is in no
better position than one never having
held a certificate. A certificate may
be obtained by successfully standing
an examination, opportunity for which
is offered only three times year
the dates are third Friday in June, last
week of the summer school in coun.
ty, third Friday in October. For some
years there has been regulation OF
the state board seeking to remove from
the trustees the temptation to let per-
sonal interest influence the selection
of teachers. The legislature itself, at
its last session, enacted similar but
more stringent provision. This is now
the law: No teacher shall be en-
ployed by board of trustees of any
school district who is related to men,
ber of the board by consanguinity or
affinity within the second degree,
without the written approval of the
board of education Of the county, nor
unless majority of the parents or
guardians of the children attending
the school for which such teacher is
employed, request such employment in
writing
