shipped it to over two hundred thou

Their feeds certainly have merit and
with the proper management and push
they should in time become large
concern.

lands, has been called upon to MOURN
t he death Of his beloved wife, who
passed to her great home beyond,
Friday, Dec. 90;
Whereas, 1t is the duty of the
members Of the Modern brotherhood
Of America to pass such resolutions
as are in accordance with the high
esteem in which our brother is held;
therefore be it
Resolved. That we, the members
Of the Modern Brotherhood OF
America, extend to Brother Hollands
our sincere sympathy in che bereave-
ment that has come TO him in the
death of his wife; we realize the
desolateness OF the home where she
brought sunshine and gladness to the
hearts i her husband andchildren.
and that the future years will be
ones OF sadness to them as they 90
about in their daily duties and miss
the presence Of the loved one of
the home; the absence Of the mother
will be felt beyond expression by
those who have looked to her for
sympathy and love in the days of
life.
Resolved, That these resolutions
te spread upon the records OF the
lodge and that a copy of the same
be sent to U brother. and to the
mother of the %decceaesd.

Our school law provides that the
Bible may be read in the public
schools in the state but without COM
ment. At the present time only a
small minority of Our teachers read
the Bible as a daily exercise before
their schools. 1t is not my purpose
In this article to discuss the subject
of reading the Bible in the public
schools.
In my opinion it should be done
and if the selections are made and
the reading conducted with good
judgment there can be no valid OBJ
lection.
A good deal of time was spent in
revising the state course Of study
but the revision will not be completed
until next fall.

THINGS EDUCATIONAL,
BY E. j. QUIGLEY.
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT

The South Dakota Educational as
ISOLATION convened last week Tues
day at Brookings. Five hundred and
four registered members we're in at
tendance Of whom eleven were from
Dawson county. The attendance
was larger by more than one hundred
than ever before. Brookings is a
typical Dakota city of $500 inhabit-
ants. 1t has but one railroad and
the usual main street running at
right angles to it. 1t shows the
thrift and enterprise so common to
Dakota cities at the present time.
1t is peculiar in that it has not
had a saloon in the last twenty
years and also that it owns and
Operates four municipal properties,
viz; waterworks, electric lights,
telephone and heating plant, the
Operation of which, 1 was informed
by leading citizenss entirely sat-
lsfactory to the people.
Brooklngs is the seat of our state
agricultural college, which is locat-
ed on an eminence, one mile from
the center of the city. This lusti-
tuition receives $40, 900 from the gen.
e1al government and S25, 600 from the
state. 1t uses nine separate build
lngs and several barns and four
bundled acres OF land. Its work is
very interesting but cannot be de-
scribed at this time.
The exercises of the association
were of an interesting character.
1t is supposed to adopt a new con-
s%titution and become incorporated.
One leading feature Of the session
was the consideration OF ethical and
moral instruction IN the schools.
This subject was brought before the
association by its president, State
Superintendent NJ. M. Ramer. He
advocates direct teaching in the pub
lie schools of such ethical and relig-
ious subjects as shall be recommd-
ed by the leading Christian denomin-
ations. A paper written by Bishop
O'Gorman of the Catholic church and
one by Geo. NJ. Smith Of our State
University we're read on this subject.
All of tile speakers agreed upon the
proposition that this nation is a
Christian nation and that our youth
should be educated in Christian faith
and doct,ine. There seems to be no
diyerging of opinion among school
men as to the value of ethical. and
moral instruction, to u children
and youth. 1t was not made plain.
however, how this could be successful
ly done in the public schools. 1t is
the intention of the state superin-
tendent to select from the 3ihle
certain portions for use in the schools

Retires From Western National.

In the retirement Of Mr.. j. p.
Myers from the position of cashier of
the Western National bank, Mitchell
loses a good citizen, and one who has
taken much interest in the affairs
OF the city since his coming a little
over a year ago. Mr.. Myers was at
the head OF the organization OF the
Western National, which opened it's
doors to the public and commenced
business Nov. 3, 1904, since when
the institution has made a phenom-
email growth. MIR. r. Myers has
been quite the largest stakeholder in
the bank and it was due to his efforts
and good business ability that the
bank has been brought to its present
commanding position as one of the
strong financial institutions of Mitch
ell. Its deposits a week after it
opened for business amounted to $l2,-
1856. II, and after n year it's volume
in this direction increased to the
splendid sum of SlO9, 1885, S. In view
of the fact that there were three we'll
organized and st1ong banks in the
city when Mr.. Myers conceived the
plan OF establishing a fourth bank,
his success is but a just tribute to
his keen insight into the banking
business. MIR Myers has Impressed
our people with the personal side OF
his nature in a very favorable man
ner and he has made many warm
friends, who hold him in the highest
esteem for his business and social
qualities, and they will regret very
much the parting of the ways which
have been pursued in The most pleas
ant lines.
Shortly after the first Of February
Mr.. Myers with his family will move
to Sioux City to become associated
in the banking business. He has pur-
chased an interest in the Farmers
Loan and Trust Co., of which he will
become the vice president, also an in
terest in the First National bank,
in which he will hold a similar posi-
tion, said institutions having a paid
up capital of 81, 800, 900. These banks
were established in Sioux City 30 or 90
years ago, with a capital Of 800, 900,
and are recognized today by tankers
as among the leading and strongest
financial institutions in the state of
Iowa. The association of these two
institutions gives them an added
prestige in the financial circles of
the northwest.
During last summer Mr.. Myers
erected a magnificent residence, and
furnished it handsomely, at a cost o
$4,000, and it is n of the most at
t1active in the city. In the transfer
of the bank Mr.. Myers disposed OF
this to Mr.. Morris.
In his departure from Mitchell The
Republican wishes MI. Myers the
best Of success, and which we are
confident will be his in view of the
fine record he has made while a resi-.
ent Of our city.
