The office of the state SuPerlltel'u-
ent of instruction Is being Hooded Win
letters from eastern states IN regard
to positions as teachers in this state.
Superintendent Kramer says: III IS
that the rural schools will
need from 500 to 1000 teachers. Inc
CITY positions are practically all hlled
before this time. The rural positions
paw from $35 to $55 a month, with an
- Or Of from $40 to S4D. these
schools are the average rural school,
within a few miles of some village or
CITY having the average American
bows and girls to teach. The CORE
spondence coming to this office would
indicate that there is an impression
tina South Dakota is hopelessly snort
of teachers and that hose in the east
who cannot make good can De re-
ceived herewithOut question as good
We do want scores of good
but we do not wan any whose equip
ment is not satisfactory. A letter au-
dressed to the county superintendent
of schools at any county seat in the
state will bring the Interested persons

10 clerks of courts OF the state a cir
GUAR letter coNeIliS Tic wv
naturalization law which will go into
effect on the 27th of September. A.
ter that date all blanks used in nat
uraliZatiOn cases must be secured
from the department at Washington
and will be numbered, the clerks re-
ceiving them being held accountable
for all numbers received. Any appli-
cation for naturalization must be filed
for a period Of not less than ninety
days before final action is K by
the court. which action must be on :
set day of a term, but no such natural.
ization can be completed within thu
thirty days preceding a general cleo
ton. The whole matter of naturaliZa
ton is practically placed under fed
eral control, though through the ma
chinery of the state courts. and 1t i
evident that the intent is s@tricter SUI
pervision and to prevent WHOLESALE
naturalizations just preceding an cleo
