A COLLEGE EDUCATION.
HOW POOR BOYS AND GIRLS OBTAIN II
II! HuR0a.
TCiD BY THE SECRETARY or TIE HURON
CG,tEGE,

The boys and girls of the west are,
as Il rule, more ambitious for higher
education than are their eastern cou-
sins. 1t is equally true however that
their parents are less able 10 assiSt
them 10 the attainment of their amDi-
ton. South Dakota is y typical wes-
tern state IN this respect. a maj r.ty
Of the parents find it hard enough 20
sacrifice the services Of heir boys and
girls in assisting the family TO say
nothing of giving them pecuniary aid
toward College education.
1t was to meet these conditions
that Huron College was founded and
is supported. The GENITAL aim IF the
institution is to put IA college edGca-
ton within the reach OF all the young
people OF South DAKOTA. Rooms are
furnished in the dormitories at less
than Cost, board is furnished at exact
~ cost and the instruction at mere
traction Of the salaries of the urGfes
sGss. In fact the student is not ex-
pected to pay the cost of what he re-
ccives He pays little, usually less
than third Of its cost, ara receives
the remainde- as the free gift Of the
friends Of higher education.
1t is remarkable how cheaply the
The students can managr to get along.
Some Of them live on less than $l35
per year and many of LDem under

Electric Light Co

AS heretofore stated Mr..
Stephen Panty has been taking
preparatory steps towards I'M
electric light plant for Miller.
He was visited last week by
Messrs Savage and Robertson.
OF st. Paul, who are dealers in
electric and steam fixtures. The
result OF their visit WAS a coil
tract for an outfit sufficient for
the town. Mr.. Paulys purpose
as the reporter understands it
is to establish a stock company
incorporate for $4,000 and dis
pose OF a part Of the shares to
business men ofMiller. Tie out
fit is TO be all new, OF the latest
patterns, and run by steam
power. The plant includes three
arc lights for main street

distance to town. For his tuition he
attended to the ringing of the bells,
and marking class hours. During va
cation he earned little money and
SEM some Of it to his mother, return
ing to college with few funds but with
the same unconquerable purpose. He
il now in attendance holding good
grade in his classes and honored and
respected by all who know him.
Nor is this energy and devotion to
purpose restricted to the boys. One
girl. dependent upon herself, taught
school two years and saved up enough
to enable hcr TO start. She attended
college two years doing kitchen work
in q Huron home for board and room.
Finally when she had spent her ready
money she dropped out a year TO teach
again. This year she will be back
again assisting herself rs before.
n remarkable ease WIS that Of a
young woman from Illinois who came
10 Huron to take music She secured
work iu the boarding club doing the
laundry work aGd by this labor paid
al her expenses including her tuition
in music.
One of the most meritoTious cases of
self help was young woman of cur
acq iaintance whose parents were so
moor that she had 20 work on the home
farm driving a team like the boys. She
came to Huron and secured employ
ment in the college boarding club. She
cooked and washed dishes for board
and room and did scruhblng and jani-
tor work enough to pay her other ex-
;enses. She did this for several years
while gaining her academy education.
This year she Will be kitchen helper in
the club with good wages and will
continue her college course.
The foregoing examples are only a
part OF those who have worked their
entire way. They stand well in their
classes and high in the respect and adj

There was something doing "
in Miller Friday night about y
O'Clock, when a lively hail storm
visited this locality. The only
damage done was Il smashing Of
windows lights all over town.
The storm came from the south
west. and hail stones fell about
the size dwell, AZ big as you
want them. The reports give all
kind OF sizes. The largest this
reporter could find shortly after
the storm was about the size OF
a walnut, but they were big
enough to cause everybody to
hustle out of bed and stuff
clothes, pillows, etc, III their
windows. In some cases screens
protected windows, while in
Others the largest hail stones
went right through the screens.
Nearly all business houses with
west fronts had large windows
broken.

or work for halls ind large bulldogs
arc some OF the jobs which the boys
seek. Doirg hou ework is about the
only kind Of work which is open to the
girls.
Since the college was ess ablished AZ
Huron, five years ago, nearly half OF
the students who have attended have
supported themselves in part and
several have supported themselves in
college altogether.
One interesting case Of POOR boy
determined to have an education was
a youDg Swede, alone in the world,
who had no money wherewith to pay
expenses. He came expecting to
make bis entire way. TO make it even
more dill lie had only poor com.
mon school education and had TO
begin at the very bottom. No work
seemed TO open to him, 50 be offered
to do girls work in the kitchen. He
cooked. washed dishes and did horse
work and 50 well did he do it that his
employer kept him two years, giving
him board and room tor this work,
done out OF school hours. He was
studying for the ministry so that his
tuition WAS only one-half the usual
amount. This with the cost of his
clothes and books constituted his only
extra expense. He worked at all
KINDS of hard obs during the vacation
sill earning his board as before and
3;.Y=,l enough during these three
months to pay his cash expenses dur
ing the year. Later in his course ne
preached in a neighhoring town and
was abb, To support himself On his
sa,ary and 1T the same time to continue
his studies. He is nov = worker in
;ha hune mission field in South Dak-
ota.
Another Young man who is still at.
tending college is a good example OF
the boy who mast hustle for odd jobs.
He gets his room by cutting the lawn
and doing the chores for q man in
town. He made his board Washing
dishes for the college boarding club at
fixed price per hour and makes his
other expenses by milking cows and
tending horses for different people in
town. Las; summer vacation he made
$72 besides paying il work for board
and lodging SO that tina year opened
with that amount of money in mis-
pocket and enough work in sight to
to pay his board and room for the
year.
O-e Of our acquaintance offers
case even more remarkable. The son
of widowed mother, partly dependent
upon him for support, came TO Huron
without money and with but very little
encouragement from circumstances.
He secured job On a dairy farm !
