ALEXANDER JAckSONS PECULIAR WILL.
Widow Of Camden PhiIanthrOpist Receives the
Sum Of $3.50 aud the Family Home

Widow Of Camden PhiIsnthrOpist Receives the
Sum Of $50 aud the Family Home
The will of Alexander Jackson, the
Camden philsnthropist, was read to
his relatives Saturday at his late resi-
dence by Thomas @. Frame, attorney
for the family. A few years ago jack
son was supposed to be worth 800, 900.
Three years ago he gave away $40, 900,
and since then had made large gifts.
1t was expected, however, that consid-
cradle property remained for the widow
and other relatives; but the will re-
vealed the surprising fact that the
value OF the estate is only $4,000, Of
which Mrs. Sarah X. Jackson, the
widow, Alexander Jackson of Wyom-
ing, John G. Jackson of Philadelphia
and Mrs. Annie Booker of Camden
receive 300 each. The family home,
valued at $500, is also left to Mrs.
Jackson, on condition that she does
not contest the will. Mrs. Jackson,
who is IS years old and an invalid,
requiring the attendance of two nurses
is angry over the provisions of the
will; but, owing to the small value OF
the remainder of the estate, will not
contest il.

The Business Session.

At the conclusion of the morning
session the teachers c]ongregated in
the assembly room for the transac-
ton Of the business, that of %electing
officers and the next location of the
association. l.. @. F%lanegin, of AL
eNandria, was elected president, and
j. r. Byers, OF Parker, was elected
secretary-treasurer. +. r. Sherwood,
Of Scotland, was elected to a mem
bership on the executive committee,
Vermillion was the choice of the as
ISOLATION for the next meeting. The
last number on the program was a
solo by Miss G. Emily Bras, who sang
Once in the Purple Twilight" with
fine effect and to the hearty appreci-
alton of the audience. She was re-
called and gave another number. She
was accompanied by Miss Florence
Winsor.
The meeting at once adjourned
and the teachers took their depart
ure on the morning and afternoon
trains for their homes. There was a
splendid attendance at the meeting
l04 being registered and there were
over so who did not register. The
officials expressed the sentiment that
the meeting had been an unqualified
success and that the teachers all ex-
pressed themselves as having been
greatly benefited by listening to
the good papers and the practical
demonstration of various lines Of
work.

The Afternoon Session.

Several interesting papers we're pre-
sented at the meeting OF the educa-
tional association during the latter
part OF the afternoon Friday. DIR.
G. M. Young, of Vermillion, gave a
tine paper on The Salary Cues
tion," one i'm which the average
school teacher in interested. aud DIR.
Young presented some good thoughts
on this matter OF salary. 1.-The Cen
tralization Plan by Prof. +. III.
Griffin was handled in a thorough
manner. lie went into detail to
show the benefits that can be de-
rived by communities by solidifying
the rural schools Of a township into
one good school, provided with good
teachers and following a system of
grade work. The plan OF c%entraliz-
ing the schools in the country is fast
gaining ground and doubtless the
time will come when it will general
ly be used. DR.. e. G. Griffith of
Yankton. read a paper on "Greater
Possibilities Of the Public Schools
that was a good presentation along
that line, in which he opened up an
avenue for greater progress. Miss
Mary Windle sang a solo that re-
ceived the hearty appreciation of the
teachers present. Miss Ethel Jew
EFT, Of Geddes, presented a good pa
per on "The Development Of the
Schools Miss Jewett has some
good ideas in her method of extend
ing the benefits Of the school room
and they found favor with the teach
ers. 1t was nearly S o'clock when
the session came to a close, the af--
ternoon having been proitably spent
in listening to some interesting and
instructive papers.

Ao Ass TO TEACHERS
DR. Chalmers Gave a Fine Discourse
to Teachers and Citizens at
the Court House.

Friday evening Or. Chalmers. pres
ldent OF Brookings Agricultural COL
lege, delivered an address to the
teachers in attendance at the meet
ing of the educational association. and
quite a number of citizens took adj
vantage OF the opportunity to hear
him. This is the first visit of DR..
Chalmers to this city since he vas
elected to the presidency Of the ag-
rlcultGral college, but his fame as a
speaker has preceded him and the
splendid address that he gave fully
substantiated all the good things
That had been said OF him. Or.
Chalmers was introduced to the au-
dience by President Lugg, OF the as
ISOLATION.
The subject Of the discourse was
"The Teacher and Character Build
ing" DR.. Chalmers confined his re-
marks to two points Of his subject.
that Of conserving the small portion
OF time and the small particles of in
huence that emanate from the teach

+. His argument was that the
mall margins Of profit was what

small margins of profit was what
made the business man rich, and the
saving of the small portions of tune
is what makes individuals strong in
te%llectually, morally and physically.
He laid great stress on the influence
OF the teacher in the school room.
holding that just as particles of
matter are in~destructlble so are
particles Of influence indestructible.
He enlarged upon this idea by a
ing that the influence upon a life
directly effected is never lost but
makes its presence felt on land on
perpetually. DIR. Chalmers thought
that in the employment of teachers
more emphasis, relatively speak
ing, should be placed upon the
moral character than has been IN the
past. He declared that he cared
more for moral influence, incidentally
eXerted by the teacher i'm the school
room upon his child, than all the
training derived from text book
study. DR.. Chalmers is a calm and
deliberate speaker, but very forceful,
entertaining and interesting. His
address vas listened to with great
interest.
