Miss Rose Cole, who is teaching
school near Tabor, went to Wagner
Friday last to visit friends, expect
ing to return to her school work by
Monday. The storm Sunday pre-.
vented the trains from running
and after waiting until Wednes-
day Miss Cole decided her only
hope of returning to her week was
to walk to Avon, which she did, in
due time arriving in Tyndall none
the worse for her experience and
ready to resume her school duties.
This is a fair example of the pluck
and grit of our South Dakota girls
who think nothing of walking
twelve miles.-Tyndall Register.
One day last week we saw a class
of six pupils making very poor
work of a list of words from the
spelling book among which were ;
bedlam, %tinsel, tippet, focus, po-
tent. dotage, fllet etc. At the close
of the recitation this class was test
ed on the following words basket,
bookcase, floor, window, picture,
South Dakota, wagon, stovepipe,
pencil and writing. The majority
of the class missed most of this
list of words and all missed sever
al words. Would it not have been
of far more practical value to these
children to have learned thoroly to
spell and use the latter list of ten
words than to have stumbled over
a list of Is to 80 of such imprac-
teal words as the former list.
Library certificates have been
issued to the following pupils the
past week: Bertha and Lydia Sat-
tier, Grant, Fred and Joe Fergu-
son, and Lille Plumbe.
Nick and Tim Kredeit and Pier
DeRoos received Certificates Of
Award and Susie q. johnson re-
ceived a silver seal.
It is extremely gratifying to visit
a school after an interval of sever
al weeks.
The pupils Of Donnelly school,
in charge Of their teacher, Miss

Cox and pupils in Logterman
