ident Droppers.
In his report to the board Of regents
Of education, Prof. Garrett Droppers
reports a very satisfactory increase in
attendance at the state university,
with a total for the year Of 400. He
discusses the criticism of the prepare
tory work of that institution, and de-
fends it in the past, for the reason that
the high school work Of the state did
not prepare the pupils for the work Of
the university; but also states that,
been a decided advance in the eficien-
cy of the state high school work yer
the state, and hat this Is relieving the
need of preparatory work at the uni
versity. He suggests that it would be
well for South Dakota to follow the ex-
ample of Minnesota in the way of
state assistance to high schools, to
further help along the work of prepar-
Ing pupils for the state institutions.
He advocates the theory which he
was pressing upon the last legislative
session, of support of the state institu-
tons by a direct tax instead of through
legislative appropriations, and further
complains Of the hampering of the
work of the institution on account of a
lack Of sufficient appropriations for it's
needs, showing that it Is compelled to
exist upon a smaller amount than do
this he is backed by the recommends
similar institutions Of other states. In

board OF regents Of education, who re-
ports the need Of an emergency appro-
priation at the beginning Of the COM
ing legislative session, to meet the
needs of the institution.
Thomas Sterling, dean Of the law de-
partment of the school, reports the be-
ginning of the work in that depart
ment with eight students for last year,
but with an enrolment of twenty-six
In the class of this year.
Gen. w. H. H. Beadle, of the Madison
state normal school, in his report to
the board Of regents, complains of the
unfairness Of the present statutes,
which provide that graduates of edu-
c%ational institutions of the state, other
than the state institutions, are entitled
to fve-year teachers diplomas On their
graduation, while graduates Of the
state institutions are entitled to but
three-year certificates, and asks for
legislation curing this discrimination.

The following statement has been
given out for publication by Rev. T.
M. Shanafelt, president of the board OF
commissioners Of the Soldiers Home,
and should take precedence over all
other matter of information or mis-in.
formation bearing upon the case until
the board shall have declared its
findings: .
"The daily and weekly newspapers
Of this and other states nave recently
been givingsa good deal of attention
to reported irregularities in the local
management of the South Dakota Sol
diers' Home. Serious charges have
been made affecting the integrity of
the commandant of the home. Incl
dents, real or supposed, have been re-
ported out of their proper relations to
other matters, and made the basis OF
accusations of dishonesty. These
charges have not yet been proved. In.
f~erences have been published as facts.
"The object of this note is to an
nounce to the citizens of South Dako-
Ia that q meeting of the board of COM
missioners of the Soldiers Home will
be held at Hot Springs, commencing
Tuesday, Nov. II, at which time a full
and exhaustive investigation will be
made. This has been requested by
the commandant, and it is desired by
the board because of the serious i'll
ness of the commandant, Mr.. Lucas.
"Any citizen of the state who knows
Of any just ground of complaint
against the commandant or other off,
Ger of the home, is assured that he
will have the fullest opportunity for an
impartial hearing. The board will re-
quire more than unsupported asser-
lions or rumors. It will want evidence
to substantiate charges.
when the investigation is ended,
the conclusions reached by the board,
uninfluenced by craftsmanship or SYM
pathy, will be made known to the peo-
pie of the state. Until then let us
bear in mind the well known maxim
that an accused person il presumed to
be innocent until he has been proven
guilty.
