In all the countries Of Europe

there serving as hodcarriers. Nov

pits and about the iron works. In
certain industries there is no limit

In this way women become beasts

throwing I've in his face. The mucous
membrane which surrounds and lu-
bricates the eyes was eaten away by
the I've, and the eyelids grew fast to
the eyeballs.
The surgeons first operated on the
eyelids. To the inside of them they
grated the mucous membrane of the
ewes of a rabbit. This operation it
self afforded Heinard much relief.
The next operation was to graft the
transparent membrane of rabbits
eyeball to Heinard' eyes.
Can See Faint Light.
The attempt was made to put in
place the cornea of the rabbits eyes,
but as this was not a success the OPP
Grafton was repeated and only the
transparent membrane was used.
Heinard is greatly pleased with the
result of the operation. He said that
the freedom from pain amply repaid
him for the operations he had under
GONE. and that even to be able to tell
the difference between light and dark
ness was a great blessing after having
been sightless for more than a year.

EMPLOYED MISS coRwIN
Miss Madge Corwin Will Fill the Va
cancy Made by Miss Mobiles
Resignation in Schools,

A special meeting Of the board Of
education was held Friday evening
and several important business mat
tiers were taken up. The resignation
OF Miss Edith Noble, as a teacher in
the high school Department., was
accepted, and her place was filled by
election of Miss Madge Corwin, OF
Sioux Falls. Miss Noble will teach
in the University during the coming
year. Miss Corwin is a graduate of
the high school, also of Dakota Wes-
leyan University ..and at present is
teaching in the Sioux Falls schools.
She is a Miuhell girl and is a very
capable teacher, in fact a better
one could hardly be secured to fill
Miss Mobiles place. Miss Corwin
will commence her work in the
Mitchell schools Oct. /.
The board took up the matter Of
extending a weeks vacation to the
school during corn palace week, and
it was acted upon favcrably. 1t
would be a very difficult matter to
anywhere near a full atten-
dance during corn palace week, and
little could be accomplished with
half of the school out.
Arrangements were made for
equipping the south room in the
south side building for use Of an
other primary grade. A teacher will
be elected as soon as the room is
completed.
Arrangements were also made for
putting gas in the assembly room of
the high school and also in the
laboratory.
