the demands of the times that same
fair-minded person will affirm, Yet
we caunot cOnscientiously urge school
boards to raise wages unless teachers
do their part in preparing to meet
reasonable requirements. Especially
should they show the proper profess
sional spirit-in other words, the
teacher is expected to make good"
We want good wages. We want good
teachers. We want them at the In
stitute.
ATTENDANCE
! Section 2734 Iowa School Laws The Coun-
ty superintendent shall annually on
the first Monday in September file
with the President of the State
Board of Examiners a list of all per-
sons who for the proceeding year held
certificates aGd attended Normal In
stitute, with the number of days at
tended by each. A similar report of
attendance at summer school shall be
secured by the president of the board.
In any subsequent examination or re-
newal of certificate, the board may
give such credit for institute attend
n or summer school as it may de-
termine.
We heard many favorable COM
meuts expressed by instructors,
teachers and visitors concerning last
years institute. Many considered it
among the best they ever attended; a
few of the over-enthusiastic, perhaps,
put il eve stronger. We believe II
was among the many good institutes
that have been held in Audubon
County, and we sincerely hope teach
ers vent back to their schools awak-
ened and refreshed and with a
stronger realization of their RESPONSE
bility in the moulding of the eduCa-
tiOnal destinies-o of the two thousand
and over boys and girls attending
school in Audubon county.
SCHOOLS TO BE CLOSED
Section 2773. No school shall be in
session during the time of holding In
stitute, except by written permission
of the County Superintendent. We
are opposed to schools being in SEES
sion at this time. Permission has
been given if no objections has been
made by patrons. .
TEACHERS
The majority of the teachers of
this county have been working hard
and conscientiously during the past
year. They have been living up to
their best light and many of them
have been getting most excellent re-
suits even when struggling against
ad verse circumstances. 1t is our de-
sire that this coming Institute may
afford US an opportunity to express
our appreciation of their co-opera-
tion with US in e~ndeavoring to further
the educational and moral advance
ment of the schools.
INSTITUTE A "CLEARING HOUSE."
At our last Normal Institute there
was inaugurated a Ground Table"
where school questions are discussed,
where the past is reviewed and the
future contemplated. The following
plan, submitted To school officers and
patrons We CHANGED to meet has been
received with strong approval: That
officers, patrons and any one inter-
ested in the welfare of the school call
on us or write US before Institute con-
venes, giving us suggestions along
school lines, especially suggesting in
what they believe to be the needs of
their particular district. While we
probably could not follow, to the let
ter, all suggestions, this plan would
at least be the means of furnishing us
valuable information of local condi-

Fine improvements

Another year has rolled around-a year of prosperity and de-
velopment for Washington Springs and Jerauld County, South Da-
kota. Little did we dream one short year ago that we would see so
many changes and improvements. Then our city was without fire
protection; today we can boast of one of the finest water Systems
in the state. A year ago we were using the common street lamps;
today our city is lighted with electricity, with large arc lights all
over the city. A year ago our students were going to school in a
frame school building; today a new brick building costing over
$36, 900, full three stories and trimmed with granite, houses the
students. A year ago an old brick building housed the
seminary students and faculty; today a beautiful solid brick struc-
tue stands on the seminary campus, and also a large dormitory.

The holder of q uniform county GER
tificate of second grade may pass to u
uniform county certificate of first grade
by writing the examination in all sub
jects required for a first grade in which
he has no grade and in those which his
black ink grades are below IS per cent

jects may re-write in such subjects at
u subsequent examination il taken
within a year. Those failing twice

REGISTRATION
No certificate is a valid license I'M
til registered with the county super
i%ntendent. The registration extends
to the first day of July following date
of registration, unless the certificate
| expires at an earlier date. For con-
| venience of teachers the registration
books will be opened during the month
| of June for teachers who wish to reg
lister their certificates for next year.
The registration date of curse will
appear as July l, 1909.
TEXT BOOKS
Belts Psychology, Whites School
Management and Reeds Essentials of
Reading, last years texts, will be
used again this year.
Owing to causing so much confusion
| and naturally 80 much loss of time,
we believe il advisable for teachers
| to bring their own texts for work in
the common branches if they can ar
range to do sO.- We can easily arrange
| to loan books for work in the higher
branches. AS subjects will be pre-
scented ~topicallv, any good text In the
common branches will suffice.
GRADUATION EXERCISES
The graduation exercises of the
rural schools will occur June -, com-
mencing promptly at 1870 A. M.
This hour will give those living at a
distance an opportunity to attend the
exercises. We are especially anxious
that as many of the graduates as can
will be present to hear Prof. Bliss of
Ames address the boys and girls on
the subject of agriculture" An
urgent invitation is also extended to
the boys and girls of the county to
their parents and to any M inter-
ested in the subject. School officers
are especially invited. The full pro-
gram will be announced later.
INSTRUCTION
! There is no part of a county super
i~ntendent's work that causes more
sleepless nights than that of arrang-
ing for a Normal Institute. II is es-
pecially difficult in this county, with
our small Institute fund. We have
to strive to make n dollar do the
| work of two-or we might better say
three.
The instruction will be both acad-
/. emic and professional. Along acad-
emic lines the subjects In which the
majority fail in writing examinations
will be presented. Psychology, School
Management, and the Iowa Hand
Book will be taught to meet the pro-
fessional requirements.
WAGES
That teachers salaries have not
kept pace with the increase In the
cost of living no fair-minded person
who 10 informed on the question can
deny. That IL Is an economic neces-
sity to raise teachers wages to meet

OBJECT OF NORMAL INSTITUTE
The Importance of the Normal In
stitute as q part of our school system
cannot easily be overestimated. To
many teachers it is the only school in
. WV S"a hSb hhJ VI olhlLS III bnFJ
best means of discipline and the most
approved methods of instruction. To
many others it is the only place in
which they can 60 annually for new
draughts of inspiration and enthusi-
asm to refresh themselves for another
years work.
The most important thing to be done
in an institute is not to impart infOr-
nation that will assist in securing q
certificate o alone to drill in the
latest and best methods of teaching,
but to inspire the lifeless, strengthen
the weak, encourage the discouraged,
and elevate the teachers ideals of
their work and life.

tions-information that otherwise
could rot be obtained. Reasons for
the above plan are obvious. In our
visitation of schools, we meet teach
ers and pupils only; it is rare We meet
any of the patrons of the districts,
hardly ever have time to stop to visit
with old time friends and get I meal
"off of them" While it is both pleas
urable and profitable to meet with
teachers and pupils, We believe it
would be for the interest of the
schools for US to be able to come into
closer relations with the patrons.
Let US hear from patrons in every
district. These communications are
expected TO come from people who
are really interested in the schools,
they not expected to degenerate into
neighborhood gossip.
