to display a wide range of language.
His exposition Of the public schools
put them in a class of high distinc-
ton before the people. Statistic ally
he showed that there were over
43O, 900 teachers engaged in the public
schools, and that they had in train
ing over 10, 692, 900 pupils; the valua-
tion of the school property in the
United States was 1915, 963, 900, and
it cost 1926, 900, 900 to maintain them.
Such property interests and 4he good
obtained from them he thought was
deserving Of the highest commenda-
tion Of the people. Commercialism
is the dominant spirit of today and
it places our flag at the top mast and
sails with u goods to practically
all foreign ports. The mission of
the schools he declared was to edu-
cate all the youth Of the land, and
by that ne meant that every child
born in this country was entitled by
right of inheritance, without regard
to color, nativity or condition, to
what wisdom had been handed
down from generation to generation.
After discussing the end of special
training for the youth of the land
DR.. Heston referred to what are
termed 'sfads' in educational mat
tiers. Some of these he thought had
come to stay: they were art work,
drawing and manual training, phys
ical culture and music. These the
speaker thought to be ga permanent
enrichment Of the school cuyricu-
lum. The training Of the hand, eye
and ear. the building up Of any
bodily health, the widening of the
intellectual and emotional powers,
the enrichment of the initiative,
the laying Of the foundation of the
broadcast sort of culture were some
Of the things being done now by
what were not long since denounced
as ''fads." The business Of the
teacher is improvement. This the
teacher shoul1 ever have in mind.
At the conclusion Of the addresses
a business session was held. A 1eso-
luton was offered by Treasurer
Ramer, Of Milbank, which had the
effect of changing the hours held for
the election of officers. Heretofore
the polls have been kept open from
5 to 8 O'Clock p. m. to give the
teachers a chance to cast their bal
lots for officers. MI. Kramer thought
it was an actual waste of time for
three officials to keep guard over the
ballot box for that length of time,
and he proposed that the hours be re-
duced from the present from S to 6
O'Clock. Several points of order were
raised, but the president overruled
them and the matter was put to a
vote. It was carried, so that in the
future and with the present election
the polls will remain open but one
hour.

Will Meet at Aberdeen.

There was a pretty fight on in
the association for the location of
the next meeting of the annual con-
vention. Sioux Falls, Canton and
Aberdeen were three candidates for
the appointment, and the promoters
Of each town worked necessarily and
good naturally for the support of
the teachers. The prevailing SEN
timent seemed to be in favor OF
A berdeen. Each town was presented
to the convention in an admirable
manner by it's representatives, and
the good features were made plain
and prominent why the association
should come for the next meeting.
The voting for the location and the
officers of the association was done
by ballot. and the polls were kept
conducted on the same plan as the
Australian ballot system, and the
various teachers cast their ballots
between the hours mentioned. The
following is the result Of the cleo

ABERDEEN GETS MEETING
Educational Association Will 10 to
North Part OF, State for Next
Year,

Tuesday afternoon nearly the entire
association hours were taken up with
the transaction Of business matters,
the nomination Of officers and the
place Of location for the next meet
ing Of the association, the session be-
ing presided over by President Hes
ton.
Mrs. E. O. Garrett entertained the
teachers with a vocal solo, and it
was appreciated to that extent that
she was heartily encored, and she
very kindly responded. Mrs. Maude
Silsby-Nichols presided at the piano.
A resolution was Introduce for the
purpose Of authorizing the executive
committee to expend $50 or 500 to
pay the expenses of a committee
which was to. be sent to Pierre dur
ing the legislative session to look
after matters that might have a
bearing on the work of the ~associa-
tion, and to do some lobby work for
the association. This committee
was to be appointed by the president.
The resolution excited some violent
discussion as the plan was made
more plain. The vote being taken it
was laid on the table until 2 O'Clock
today.
An effort was made to locate the
meetings Of the association perman-
emily in the future. Prof. Smith of
the State University, made a formal
molten, and backed it by a lengthy
argument, to locate the association
for three years at the next place Sc
lected. The proposition seemed to
take well with the teachres after the
professor had finished his statement.
Superintendent, Coursey, however,
interposed a strong objection to the
plan and declared that he did not
believe that the association was ready
as yet to locate the meeting either
for three years or permanently. He
said that in other states the custom
had been adopted of placing the
educational meetings permanently at
the state capital. Mr.. Coursey said
that inasmuch as the capital OF South
Dakota was not located permanently
as yet that it would be a good idea
to postpone any action on the asso-
CATIONS permanent location until
the capital question was settled.
The superintendent remarks we're
heartily applauded, and when it was
submitted to a vote of the teachers
it was decided to defer any action on
