Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Brookings, S. D., July 1.-THE regents
committee on classification and course Of
man, held a meeting at the agricultural
college and arranged for printing the new
catalog. Among the changes made in
the course Of study was one providing for
a higher standard of students entering the
comm ercal course
Hereafter students entering that course
will have to possess the same aualificata-
tions as those entering the freshman class.
Thi movement in the right direction
and will greatly strengthen the CONNER
cial course as a graduate from this course
under the new standard will be equipped
with a fair scholarship as well as a tech
nical training in stenography and type
writing.
This committee is wholly made up from
members of the faculty who are at the
head of departments in the industrial lines
and was created by the regents Of educa-
ton about year ago, on motion Of
Regent Slocum, in the belief that such
members of the faculty having in charge
the workof classifying students would be
more likely to classify them in the agri-
cultural and other industrial courses than
would professors at the head of other de-
partments.
President Chalmers. by action of the
regents, is chairman of the committee and
Professor Wilson, vice president, will
hereafter act a s vice president Of the coll
lege in the absence Of the president.

E SUPERIOR, WIS.-Dougas county and
the commissioners are making a strong
effort to take care of the floating debt
most in the shape of judgments, against
the county, so that future levies will not
be burdened with such great amount
of money for Judgment and interest pur-
poses. It Is figured that If the debt can
be arranged SO that it will not be a
burden, improvements can be made in
various ways turnout the county. The
reform members of the board are max
ing the effort.
AS 1T stands there is a, debt of about
$175,O00 in the shape of judgments. E.
F. McCausland hold over 500 900 of these
and has made the board an offer to accent
$4,000 worth of tax certificates, $4,000
worth of tax deeds and to throw off s10.-
900 OF his claims against the county,
making $780, that can be DISPOSED sof
by turning over deeds and certificates to
land that the county has been compe]led
to take for taxes and which is valueless.
