The summer school

The inter. state summer school
that has just closed at Simpson
Park was pronounced a crafty
ing success by those who attend
ed and managed it. The attend
ance reached 3O7 and the average
attendance was much better than
usual. This is the only summer
school in this quarter of the states
represented where teachers and
others can go and obtain instruc-
ton inalmost anysubject desired.
The union Of the two states has
made it possible to get more in
structors of q superior. grade
than could otherwise have been
done.
The management promises a
broader field for next year. There
will be an opportunity Tor any
one to get instruction in nearly
any subject he may desire.
This school has come so grad
ually and developed so naturally,
many do not appreciate the diff
ference between it aud the old
fashioned institute of few years
ago, where there were two or
three instructors giving work in
the common branches. This
school offers q rare opportunity
for the growth Of the teachers
that can get tc it Many teachers
come and ask. How long must
I attend the summer SCHOOL,"
They should rather ask, and
many Of them do, How long will
the summer school last?" If
teachers do not grow under the
present encouraging stimuli, it
is because they do not make the
opportunity theirs and make the
best use of them.
The majority Of the teachers
are taking hold, and there is q
growing interest with every re-
curing year. AS in all things
there are the few who go because
it is pleasant to be there or be-

Supts. G.. g. Borchardt Of Lac

verse Of Big Stone county, rem
dered very able service during
the session. It is hoped their
counties will retain them in Office
as long as they will stay, as they
are competent and enthusiastic.
Supts. G.. G. Borchardt, Of
Lac qui Parle county, and A.. B.
Converse, Of Big Stone county,
rendered very able service dur
ing the session. Their counties
should return them to Office as
long as they will stay.
AS Supt. Ramer goes out of
Office the first Of the year by
constitutional limitation, this is
the last summer school in which
he will represent Grant county
interests.
The three counties from Min
nesota that had a part in the
school work Of this year will con-
tinue to be q factor for next year
ct least, and if present indica-
tions are true there will be other
counties interested also. This is
an institution that should be fos-
tered and encouraged in every
way possible, for it means better
teachers; this means better
schools; this means better priv
neges tor the boys and girls in
school.

A large number of children from
the first TO the seventh grade took
part in the exercises, and many of
the recitations, especially on last
night, would have done credit to
older and more experienced heads.
"a Child's Love-" by sixteen lit

tivated the large audience Tuesday
evening. The pictures presented
by the "Red, White and Blue" and
the Scarf drills were pleasing
sights in all of their simplicity and
beauty. The interest aud admira-
tion manifested for many of the evo-
lutions of the Scarf drill amount
ed to almost enthusiasm.
"The Tomahawk" drill by the
boys was splendid, and it was re-
peated.
"The Two Ghosts in White" and

contributed largely to the enjoy.
ment of the entertainment on last

INTERSTATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION REPORT
Has Nothing 10 Relate and Moth
ing to Suggest.
LAW SHOULD BE AMENDED

Washington, Jan. 23-The re-
port of the interstate commerce
commission was read to congress
this morning. The document is a
voluminous one, but the report
does not have much to relate and
nothing to suggest 1t finds, how
ever that the commission has been
unable to regulate commerce, as
was originally intended.
The corporations handling pack
ing house products, grains, pro-
visions, etc, the commission says
are right in with the railroads, and
facts have been developed of such
a character that would tend to
show that high officials are work
ing underhanded in order to pre-
vent the commission from obtain
ing facts; they conspire TO violate
the interstate commerce law.
Hundreds of thousands of dol
lars of rebates are made annually
and the papers are burned to pre-
vent the commission from securing
evidence. That a great wrong is
being done to small shippers there
is no doubt The law should be
amended so as to make the rebate
business an impossibility.
