HIGHMoRE GETS THE ASYLUM
Fight on Bill IL for a
Time, hut ~ h
Close.

PIERRE, s. D., Feb. L-(speciaI Tele-
gram.)-The Highmore inebriate asylum
proposition won the first round today, when
the senate passed the bill locating the cure
retreat at that place, by q vote OF 20 to 16.
A warm discussion was expected, but only
came from Bates, who moved to amend by
substituting the name of Dell Rapids, which
was defeated. In his talk he referred to
Highmore as the home of Lieutenant Gov
ernor Shober and to the editorials in re-
CARDS to the stalwarts, which appeared in
shober's paper in the last campaign.
Norbeck, the artesian well man, went UP
against the legal profession in the senate
this afternoon and came out with flying
colors on his bill to give the state the same
number of challenges in crimlna cases as
are granted to the defense. The judiciary
committee had riddled the bill, but Norbeck
secured a change back TO the original fig
ures and passed the bill.
While a few senate members, with Thor
son In the lead. opposed the good roads
bill. after the hot air had vanished and a
vote was secured, only four went on record
against its provisions.
In the house Frislie attempted to reverse
an adverse judiciary report on his bill TO
allow a three-fourths verdict in civil suits.
The lawyers of the house opposed his mo-
ton. and won their point, killing the bill
on report.
The bill to protect fur bearing animals
caused a tangie in the house because II
contained in its provision the muskrat.
Several OF the members from the Sioux and
Jim river valleys were against the muskrat,
and after several attempts to amend, the
bill went back to committee to be doctored
before 1t Is again brought out.
The principal new bill today was the new
military code, which has been prepared by
members OF the National Guard.

Increasing Attendance Makes New
Buildings a Necessity.

Increasing Attendance Makes New
Buildings a Necessity.
The increase in attendance has brought
before the authorities the need of new resi-
dence halls for the students. Accordingly
the university council has authorized the
expenditure of SlO0,0O0 for the erection of
a new building to be known as Walsh hall.
1t will provide accommodations for Ito stu
dents. The new hall will have suites of
rooms. composed of a study. a bed room
and a bath for each student. From the
point of view of interior college elegance
and comfort 1t will be one of the finest
college dormitories in the country.
A debate has been arranged with George
town university OF Washington, ID. c., on
the subject of the guaranty of bank de-
posits by federal legislation. The prelimln-
airy trials to determine who will represent
the university began last week. F1fty-eight
contestants will appear In the preiiminar-
les. In fifteen public debates Notre Dame
has been defeated only once, several times
defending both sides of the question with
different colleges. The debate this year
will be held in Washington.
A public reception by faculty and stu
dents was given to the Very Rev. Gilbert
Francois of Paris, who was president Of
an important college in France. In his ad-
dress to the students he commented on
the energy and vigor of the American ma
ton, declaring that this county will soon
become the leader among the world pow
ers.
Preparations are making for a notable
celebration of the Lincoln centenary on

A system Framed I'm the Interests of
the Minority.

A system Framed I'm the Interests of
the Minority.
DR.. NJ. Bates Stephens, state sunerinten-
dent of public instruction, sharply con-
demned in a public address the present
system Of public school studies, with par
ticular reference to his own state, but
which comprehend conditions common
throughout the country. DIR. Stephens de-
clsres that the time Of 90 per cent Of the
pupils is wasted by reason OF a cast iron
scheme Of studies framed In the interest
of 10 per cent. The curriculum of the
schools is designed to prepare all the pupils
for the high schools and the graduates
of the high schools for college. II all the
pupils went through all the grades and
then went to college the scheme of in
struction would be. presumably, fairly sat
isfactory. AS a matter of fact, says the
state superintendent. but 10 per cent of
the pupils in the schools ever enter the
high schools, and of these less than I per
cent ever graduate. or the graduates only
a small percentage go to college" The
interest of the many Is thus subordinated
to that of the few, whereas III there is to
be a bias" in making up the curriculum,
ut should be in the direction of the 80 per
cent who never go beyond the elementary
grades" The requirements OF the high
schools should not. It is held In effect,
dominate the course of study In the ele-
mentary grades. The studies pursued in
the grades attended by the great ma
GRITTY should have more exclusive reference
to the needs of the majority; they should
embrace such topics as will be useful to
those whose entire education is obtained
In the elementary grades. Pupils, 1T is
commended. have equal rights. and It is UNI
fair to sacrifice the education of 80 per
cent to the exisencies of 10 per cent Of the
pupils. Parents who do not wis. to pre-
pare their children for college. it is sug-
gested, should have the ortion of schools
better suited TO their purposes. The effort
to adapt the pupils to a symmetrical alb
stract scheme of education, instead of
adapting the scheme to the pupils, has nat
urally produced unsatisfactory results. at
is a deplorable fact" says DR.. Stephens.
In view OF these results. that the high
schools are feeders of the colleges The
high schools, 1t is declared, should stand
on their own bottom, and likewise the ele-
mentary schools.
