To the Teachers of FAN River County:

To the Teachers of Fall River County:
We have this year the new state
course of study and | am sure we are
all trying to so adjust our work as to
follow itas nearly as possible. To this
end have decided to ask you to use
sets of examination questions each
month, which | will send you from
now on till the end of school. bearing
directly on the subject matter mapped
out by sections in tine course of study
These questions We're prepared recent
ly by the committee which revised the
course of study and, therefore, should
be pertinent and to the point and give
the greatest possible aid to teachers in
laying out the work in accordance
therewith. These questions are being
used in every county of the state eN-
cept four | wish you to give them a
fair trial and then let me hear from
each one of you IS to the results at
the County Institute in June. Prof.
Shouse will use them in the Hot
Springs schools and give us the bene-
fit of his experience.
The Supt OF Public instruction of
South Dakota says in his eighth bien-
nial report (p.20) which is just out:
"Written tests shall be held in all the
grades at the close of each section of
work upon questions supplied by the
county superintendent Make the
tests of some value. All pupils must
take them and if they fail they must
show cause and redeem themselves"
For the present shall set aside the
conditions printed on the envelopes
containing the examination questions
which direct that they shall be opened
on the morning of the examination.
They may be opened the first month
and used as guide. in preparing the
work and in determining the status of
each grade with reference to the
course of study and they will be a
great help to the younger teachers in
| arranging their work in conformity
| with the same.
Many districts have less than nine
months of school and when this is the
case, the pupils will either have to do
more work each month than is pre-
scribed, or spend more than year in
grade. The state superintendent is
very specific in warming teachers
against allowing pupils to pass from
one grade to another without first COM
pleting all of the work in the sections
of the lower grade.
l desire to be of help to each one of
you and shall hope to be called upon.
Very Sincerely Yours.

Rapid City After the Academy.

From the following which ap-
peared in the last issue of the
Rapid City Union, it would look as
though that town was going to strive
for the Black Hills Academy. The
Union says:
"In spite of the fact that Whitewood
has offered ten thousand dollars and
TWENTY acres of land, and Hot Springs
offers cash and real estate to the
amount Of twenty-five thousand dollars
to secure the location of this college
in these respective towns, Rapid City
may yet pluck the plum.
"a movement is now on foot among
leading business men to give to the
promoters of this institution an amount
of money or real estate, which coupled
with our natural advantages and geo.
graphical location will without doubt
bring the proposed college to Rapid
City.
"This is as it should be. The estab-
lishment of an institution of higher
learning will do more than any other
one thing to make the Greater Rapid
City of our dreams.
''The educational advantages offered
by such school will draw hundreds
of people TO our city, they will build
homes. engage in business and educate
their children here. 1t will add to the
moral ton,, and to the sum total of
culture aud refinement of the commun-
| ity 1t will produce an environment
productive of the best manhood and
womanhood and it will be paying in
vestment. Should the expenses for
the school year average Sl7o for every
student and shonld there be two hun
dred students enrolled Nhe prospects
are that a much greater number will
be in atsendance) The sum Of thirty
i've thousand dollars will be distribut-
ed among the various business interests
of the city. We cannot afford to let
this college escape us. We need it.
Let everybody pull and the college
will be ours"
