A DECIDED CHANGE
IN SCHOOL SYSTEM
One Of improvements Is Uni.
versal Recognition Of State
Teachers Certificates.
MANY STATES Q
of Public Instruction VIII
Endeavor to Improve the Educa-
tional System in Order to Win
Concession Of Other States.

canton, S. D., Oct. 30.-There has
been unusual activity in the state de-
partment of public instruction at Pierre
during the past six months, and many
important improvements have been and
are being made in the administration of
the educational system. Among the
improvements yet looked for is to have
a universal recognition of South Da-
kota state certificates OF teachers in all
the states of the union. Heretofore
there nave been very few states that
would admit eachers holding valid
cerllllcateS in this state as teachers in
their public schools without eXamina-
ton, and it was with a view to getting
them to do so that the state superin-
tendent some months ago opened nego-
tiations with the department of eduCa-
ton IN every state in the union. The
result has already been beneficial, for
in many of the states concessions have
been secured wherein none cOuld be had
before, while in other cases negotia-
lions have been opened by which it is
hoped to secure reciprocal relations in
this matter before long.
The states which are now making ad-
VantaSeous concessions to South Da-
kota on this point are: Arizona. Colo
RADIO, District of Columbia. Idaho. IN
diana, Missouri, Minnesota, Montana,
Nebraska, Nevada, North Dakota. Ore
gon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Yer
mont, Washington and Wyoming. In a
FEW of these states South Dakota GER
titicates are freely indorsed without ex-
animation, but in most of them there is
some limit to the concessions granted.
The state superintendent to
ask the next legislature for laws grant
ing him an extension of power to treat
with states which have thus far refused
certificates.
1t is thought probable if a law were
passed prohibiting the county superin-
tendents in his state from indorsing
teachers certificates from all those
states Which refuse to grant like con-
cessions to certificates from this state,
that they would soon find it to their ad-
vantage to swing into line.

ceedingly weak he had read every line
of this statement.
The reporter asked him to make a
statement in defense of himself. Blair
agreed to do so. Again the reporter
urged him to seat himself in the chair,
but Blair would not do SO. For nearly
two hours Blair dictated a statement
in defense of himself During that time
he, on three occasions, drank "a glass of
water which set near him.. He did not
drink much of the water and rank
each time as the reporter looked up
from the paper upon which he was
writing the statement.
The Fall Due to Morphine.
While the reporter was writing, with
head down, Mr.. Blair was taking NOR
phine. He was taking morphine, which
had not been prescribed by his phySic-
ian and which, Furthermore, could not
act as a Stimulant to his system. He
did not need the effects of morphine
save as a means of ending his life, and
as he dictated his statement, he did so,
knowing not what moment he would
collapse ana fall to the ground. After
finishing his long statement, he dis
played signs of nervousness, of weaken
ing. 1t was only a minute, but that
minute there was an expression on
Blair's face that pictured pain, misery
and horror. A suppressed cry broke
from the lips. An expression of in
tense suffering showed on his counte-
nance, his pallid face bespoke death.
His hands flew wildly in the air, and
he fell headlong to the pavement be-
low:
Since the that Mr.. Blair was
picked up and carried to a bed the story
of his tragic plans have not gone out
side the house in which his friends and
loved ones have been working tirelesSly
night and day in an effort to bring him
back to life. Blair has been watched
constantly. There is not a minute in
the day on night that the doctor, nurse,
son or wife has not kept an y on his
frail body.
For three days the report on Mr..
Blair's condition has been practically
the same He seems rational, he takes
nouriShment, his pulse, respiration and
temperature are normal. He has an
even chance with death, the doctors
say. And through the long weary Vigils

UNDER DEPOT
The Timely Discovery of a Laborer in
a Seattle Station.

Seattle, Wash, Oct. Sl.--Twelve
sticks of dynamite, with fuse attached,
We're found in the Interurban depot.
There was enough to have blown up all
the buildings within two blocks. The
discovery was made by a laborer.
An explosion of dynamite occurred at
First and Jackson streets Tuesday
morning, not more than $50 feet from
the depot. Three weeks 6 a man
who gave his name as Will Shannon
was arrested in a saloon with fourteen
sticks of dynamite in his pocket. He
said the explosive had been given to
him by an unknown man. A few days
after he was identified as a deserter
from the army and turned over to the
authorities. Two days after the arrest
of Shannon a mar named Robinson
found two sticks of the explosive hid
den in the pilings of the Arlington
wharf.
