and CORRECTIONS
Records of secretary's Office Disclose
a Very Satisfactory Condition
in That Department..

Through the courtesy Of w. e.
Upton, secretary Of the Board of
Charities and Corrections, we have
CLEANED some facts from the records
in his office which will be Of interest
to u readers.
AT the close OF the fiscal year end
ing June 30, 1907, the penal and
charitable institutions of the state
contained the following populations
Training School, Plankinton, 81
males, IA females, total II; Feeble
Minded, Redtield, SO males, Sc
females, total 1875; School for Blind,
Gary, 80 males, IL females, total AZ
School for Deaf Mutes, Sioux Falls,
80 males. 80 females, total 70;
Penitentiary, Sioux Falls, $50 males,
2 females, total 1872; Hospital for
Insane, Yankton, $50 males, 24S
females, total 67S.
This makes a grand total of l,16s
people of the derelicG and defective
classes in this state out Of a probable
population Of less than a half million
people This is an exceedingly low
ratio as compared with that of other
states. 1t should be noted, how
ever, that there are something over
200 Of the feeble minded and blind
and deaf classes iii the state that
are not in the institutions.
Financially the board has made an
excellent showing. OF moneys under
the control Of the board for running
the institutions for the year, $685.
S59.7S were saved and covered back
into the treasury; and, better still,
he institutions, as regards the
standard O! are for the inmates,
have never been in better condition
all Of which reflects the wisdom OF
bavimg a strong and experienced
board at the head Of this arm Of our
state government.
The time was in this state when
the funds every year in the institu-
lions were not only used up to the
dollar but every legislature was
tesieged Tor deficiency appropriations.
This has all been changed under the
present management, for which the
people OF the state are 60 be con.
graduated.
1t is becoming constantly more
difficult to secure and retain proper
help at the institutions. Not les:
than fifteer people could secure
employment at the Hospital To-
Insane at Yankton at The present
time at good wages. Wages have
been repeatedly raised at thi!
institution. we are told, as at others
but this does not entirely give relief
We learn that new buildings ar
being constructed at the penitentiar.
and at the School for Deaf Mute
and at the Hospital for Insane, 70
each of which special appropriation
we're made by the last legislature.
Tn: construction of a Irvine plan
at the penitentiary is being pushe'
forward as rapidly as possible. Whel
this is ompleted and in operalioI
farming will tie practically eliminate
from this institution.
AT the different Institutions tn
state owns lands as follows: Train
ing School, 707 acres, valued a
1925, 900; School for Feeble Minded
487 acres. valued at 500 600; Schoc
for Blind, 20 acres, valued at 81. 600
Penitentiary, 325 acres valued a
1925, 900; School for Dea; Mutes, 8
acres valued at &c, 1000; Hospital 10

REPORTS ON SCHOOL YEAR
superintendent Hoff Makes His An
nual Report to the Board of
Education.

The annual report of Superinten-
dent Hotf has just filed with
a.. B. McKeel, clerk OF the board Of
edncation. The superintendent gives
some interesting statistics relating
to the attendance OF the pupils and
then quotes several sections of the
law relating to compulsory education.
Few people really realize what the
children to school, and, more than
that, there is abundant evidence Of
how little the Jaw is enforced during
the school year. TIE law requires
d Jruant officer TO be appointed by the
board of education to enforce the
compulsory education law, but up to
the present time such an officer has
not been appointed, and the superin-
tendent himself has been looking
after that branch what time he has
at his command. During the school
year there are a great many children
on the streets who ought to be in
school, and it is evident that by
publishing those sections of the
school law that the superintendent
wants this matter regulated. The
following is the superintendent

Against The duPCntS

That Former Senator Frank Alice.
since his political hraak with the du-
Points. has been active sn the legal
campaign now in the Federal Court
against the DUPONT Powder Company
is set forth ln a statement issued By
Hughes and Wolcott. of Dover, coun-
sci for the Republic Smokeless Powder
Company. which was chartered with
an authorized capitalization of $1,000
600 on Saturday.
Robert S. Waddeil. formerly con-
nected with the dupont Company. bug
now arrayed against It and instigator
of the governments investigation. IS
the principal protector Of the Republic
smokeless Powder Company. Hughes
and Wolcott. in their statement for
the new comsany, says:
"Mr Waddell has for some years
been making war on the DUPONT
Powder Company and has furnished
the information on which the govern
ment bases its suit Among the
directorate Of the company Is TO be ex-
Senator Alice. who, next TO Mr.. Wad-
dell. has been credited with having
more to do with the bringing Of the
suit by the government than probably
anyone else. outside of the President.
1T is not uniting that Mr.. Waddell
and ex-senator Alice. who have been
so active in the profacution. should
unite in a new company which IS 10
enter the field as the chief competi-
tor"
The foregoing is interesting from a

Alice was a candidate for reelection
he found himself without the influence
or backing Of the DUPONT followers,

ed prize of $40 for the best essay on

ling OF the High School.

Principal Berlin made an address on
Etiquette in which he considered
the origin of the word, the original
meaning of which was a piece of paper,
or a label, and alluded to it, in its orig
inal sense as a lebel of good breeding.
Etiquette, he declared, insofar as re-
lating to the forms to be observed in
official and social life was approved
by mankind and no one could decry its
value as an indication of ones bringing
up and of ones regard for another.
He strongly urged the observation of
proper social forms forms among young
people He then treated of the synonyms
of the word-decorum, as applying to
general conduct dignity as relating to
ones good breeding, and opliteness and
courtesy as applying to an evidence Of
regard for others
In concluding. Principal Berlin ex-
pressed the wish that all the students

DR.. Shortlidge was instructed to re-
turn the thanks of the school to THE
EVENING JOURNAL
The Rev. f. f. Carpenter Of Mt
Salem NJ. Z. Church addressed the
school, of which he is graduate
True success in life, he said did not
consist in financial success although il
was an element, nor was it, he declared
in the fulhllment of worldly ambition,
although that was another element.
True success consisted rather in max
ing a life worth something to the
world. In doing this Rev Carpenter
said, Man must be careful to develop
his three-fold natures, for he is es-
sentially a three-fold being, physical,
material and spiritual He must have
"a strong body If he expects to be able
to take his place in life, and he must
have a trained mind, while. above
all, he said IL was incumbent upon
him to cultivate his spiritual nature.
What the perfumery is to the flower
and the sweet tones of soft music is to
the instrument, so, he declared, was
the spiritual nature to man. To achieve
true success therefore, Rev. Mr.. Car
penter said. man must be well develop
ed in his three aspects. physical. men
tai and spiritual
