Expenses of the Encampment.

The finance committee for the G.. A..
r. encampment has made its report of
the amount expended and collected for
the entertainment OF the old soldiers
during the three days encampment.
This simply represents the amount of
money expended in cash, but does not
cover the contributions of the good
people of Mitchell who contributed 80
largely for the big picnic dinner held
at the grove for the old soldiers. The
total amount of expenses incurred as
per vouchers on file with the G. A. R..
and w. r. c., was S59S.Sl; the amount
collected was $570. 15, leaving an over.
draw o. S2S.66, which amount was ap-
propriated by the w. r. c. to balance
the account. There are some collec.
tions yet to be made that will just
about equal the actual expense and a
committee will call for the amount still
due.

the class. He took occasion to make
some remarks about the common school
system of the state. He advocated that
the free schools system be extended so
that the country schools could obtain
some benefit. AS the matter stands
today the pupils that go through the
eight years course in the country are
nos eligible to attend the city high
school without paying a tuition, and
which in many instances prevents the
boys and girls from reaching any high
er after an education. He believed
that the high schools of the cities
should be made free to the pupils OF the
country and the whole county be taxed
for the additional expense necessary to
maintain them. He declared this WAS
done in other states and that it could
be accomplished as easy in South Da-
kota. He explained the methods of
other states in covering this point. In
Nebraska the tuition was was paid by
the county or state for any pupil to any
uIS SCuVUl. AuOVuSI pau Was W udNo
a high school located in the center Of
the township which would carry on the
four years course of the city schools,
and yet the other schools in the town
ship could be mair tanned just the same.
He hoped that the legislature would
formulate law this winter which
would give the rural school pupils the
privilege of the city schools free of
charge and thus make tho free schools
system absolute.
In closing Mr.. Collins presented the
diplomas to the graduates with some
kind words for the members of the class
and the audience was dismissed. A
number of the friends of the graduates
went forward and congratulated them
on the success of the evening. This is
one of the largest, if not the largest,
classes that bias finished the course of
the county schools since it was institut-
ed some years ago.
