OF UnSOund Mind

Martin Larson Of Sterling township.
was arrested last week on q charge OF
sending threatening letters through
the mail. He had his hearing at the
court house Thursday, and it brought
out the TACT that he is of unsound
mind, and he was committed to the
insane asylum at lankton for treat
ment. 1t seems that Larson had been
brOoding over the death OF his friend
Henry Borstad, who was killed by the
Watertown passenger near Estelline
about month ago, and he sent letters
of threatening nature to the train
crew and to Agent Leighty here.
Larson admitted being the author Of
the letters, but said that they were
warnings rather than threats. He
stated that he was subject to "brain
storms" during which the future was
revealed to him, and merely wanted to
warn the train crew Of their danger.
An attendant arrived from Yankton
Monday night and returned with
Larson Tuesday morning.

NEW DEPARTMENT Of

At recent meeting OF the Regents

The object OF this school is to offer
the young men and women, who can
leave the farm only during the winter,
instruction in agriculture, home
economies and the various sciences
related to farm life. This work has
been instituted in Minnesota and in
Nebraska and is most successful
The course of study extends through
three winters, the school year begin
ming about November first and closing
April first. No degrees are conferred
but on completion OF the course a
diploma will be granted. During the
winter months, the young people can
be spared from home and there is no
reason why this new departure at the
college should not be OF great benefit
to the farmers of South Dakota.
DR.. Brigham, who will have direct
charge OF the development of this
work, is unusually well qualified for
the position. He was born and reared
on farm and has had experience in
farm management. He is a graduate
OF the Massachusetts, Agricultural
College and received the degree, Doctor
OF Philosophy, from the University OF
Goettingem, Germany. At the latter
institution his major subject was agri-
culture, his minors, botany and agri-

director OF the Rhode Island Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, where he
established the first American poultry
school. He is not only familiar with
the best agricultural educational meth
DDS, but he has successfully conducted
experimental work. He has, also,
been active in farmers institute work
and on the lecture platform. He will,
without doubt, be "A valuable addition
to the agricultural interests of our
state.

ment of Botany has been filled by the
appointment OF DR.. Edgar w. Olive,
OF the University OF Wisconsin. DR..

The Old School House"
By one of the old Boys.

The first term OF school was taught
by Miss Emma Stanton in a part OF
the house only, but later the balance
of the house was finished so that at
the end of the "Hard Winter" of 80
and 81 the school board decided to
employ two teachers for the spring.
The spring term in 1881 opened rather
late with Mrs. Horace Fishback as
teacher OF the upstairs" grade and
Miss Eva Jaynes as teacher down
stairs"
The only requirement as to grade
being the possession OF an Appleton
fourth reader and MacNicker's
Complete Arithmetic, and any pupil
having these was considered far
enough advanced to attend the up
stairs room.
friends OF Miss Jaynes solicited pupils
for another term of one month at a
"select school, which was taught in
the same room, but this time the
pupils represented the second, third
and fourth readers with other branches
to correspond. Much was hoped Of
this short term, but MAN proposes
that is, one man did, some time dur
ma am at that. And from then on
our teachers mind was so much on
her beau who was usually waiting at
her boarding place lin plain sight OF
the school room that most of the
pupils about wasted their time. At
the close Of the term this teacher got
married, and at the opening OF the
fall term Mrs. Elsie Ames was again
la Il I
Dusen, sister Of Mrs. Fishback, in the
advanced room. This time the
teachers either had no beaux at all or
else they did their cOurting out Of
school hours, and the advancement
OF the pupils was generally very rapid.
After Miss Van Dusen, the next
teacher was Prof. O. II. Parker, who
taught several terms and was so
popular that several "grown-ups" in
cluding former school teachers, at
tended a part or all of the time.
Some OF them being, Mr.. Edw. Oertli, E,
then school officer in Eureka town
ship, Miss Orilla Haber, who had
spent some time teaching school in
the country, Miss Emily Delany,
another school ma'am. Mr.. Hollace
Hopkins, afterward editor OF the
IItlIy lHut ptIlucil, anu many
others. .. II. Parker was followed
by Prof. Leron Henry and Mrs. Ames,
also by Miss Belle Anderson.
But soon the school became so large
that two teachers were not enough and
Miss Matte Darrow, Mrs. \. F. Car
nine) was given small recitation
room upstairs, where the intermediate
grades recited, but continued to sit in
the two main rooms. But Brookings
was ever noted for its healthy growth
and seat room soon became a scarce
article, so the school board rented the
NJ. +. church and for the winter term
Of 1888 and 'S4 Miss Darrow took her
pupils there where they used long pine
tables for desks and church chairs for
seats. But the town still grew and the
board had to build other rooms, add
ing still more teachers so that the
history OF the Old school house, az
such may be said to have ended about
that time.
