Getting Ready to Entertain the
State Teachers Association

State Teachers Association
} As was mentioned last week the
South Dakota Educational Associa-
tion will hold its annual meeting the
23rd, in this city during the week i'm.
mediately following the holidays, the
exact dates being the 81, 2S and 10Th
Of December. 1t is seldom that an
association of this size places its an.
nual meetings at places the size of
Brookings, hence we consider it a fav
or to be thus honored. 1t is some
thing like fifteen years since the as
ISOLATION met here, and it was both
in the infancy of the association and
OF the city. Now that it is coming
here again it behooves US to show the
members of the association a royal
time, this we know the city stands
ready to do. In order that all may
know what progress is being made it
is thought best to tell what has been
done, what is being done and what is
expected Of the citizens Of B~rookings
in the matter.
This week Superintendent j. F.
Olander is mailing six thousand cop
les of the program which appears in
the columns of this paper to teachers
of graded and country schools and to
all the Instructors Of all the Colleges,
Normals and Universities of the state.
This embraces something like $500
educators. Programs are also being
sent to persons Of prominence and all
Of the newspapers. President Ramer
and Corresponding Secretary Olander
are looking for an attendance of from
seven hundred to a thousand: while
others look for a much larger number,
but the number who come will make
no difference with the arrangements
that must be made for their enter
tainment. 1t will be seen that every
home in the city must make arrange
ments to assist in the entertaining of
these many visitors.
Three weeks ago the college faculty
and the members of the teaching
force of the city schools and County
Superintendent Olarder held a joint
meeting at which plans we're talked
over and a committee appointed to
have charge of the entire affair. This
committee is composed of the follow.
ing persons. County Superintendent
j. f. Olander, City Superintendent
T. A. Walters, Vice President of the
college, H. B. Mathews, Mayor of the
city, F. NJ. Kremer, and the president
Of the Commercial Club, w. H. Rod

held a meeting and appointed some of
the committees. Finance Committee;

tertainment: j. F Olander is the
chairman. He will select assistants
from the teachers of the city schools.
The members Of the executive and
finance committees met with the city
council recently and presented the
matter with them. The council
treated them very nicely authorizing
the city auditor to draw a warrant in
their favor for the sum of 500 to help
them in their work Of providing for
the entertainment and care Of visit
ors. 1t will be necessary for this com
mittee to raise a sum Of about a humid
red dollars in addition. The finance
committee will make a canvas for
this amount within the next week or
so.
j. f. Olander and his committee
will make a canvass of the entire city
to ascertain the Accommodations that
may be secured for the three days.
In order that We may be able to en-
terrain all who may come it will be
absolutely necessary for citizens gen.
orally to open their homes, for sleep
ing Accommodations and for board. 1t
Is thought best to set the prices that
may be charged as a maximum as
follows: Meals 25c. beds SOC. The
committee will call on you either on
November 18th or 25th. Kindly be
ready to give information of the mum.
Der that can be entertained at your
