in psychology, didactics, grammar and
literature. The teachers of this
county have had the opportunity of
being under the instruction Of Prof.
Avery for four years and the more
they meet him the better they like
him.
Another member of the faculty who
has been with the teachers four years
is Miss Amy White, of Sioux City,
Iowa. She had charge of drawing and
primary work, and in her grade OF
work she cannot be surpassed
The other members of the faculty
were A. S. Harding of the S. d. A. c.;
N. o. Hill, superintendent Of Brook
ings city schools; ]. f. Olander, prin-
cipai of Volga public schools, and W.
A. Allison of Brookings.
