Suggestions for South Dakota Tes

Suggestions for South Dakota Teachers.
A leading publication of our day said
recently, "Only about one person in so
among any class of people is right up to
date, taking advantage of every oppor-
tunity he has of making himself count
for the utmost"
In circular that came to me from a
college in Missouri | found this senti-
ment: "The personal element in teach
ing is supreme. 1t rises above all others
in Importance. 1t is the power that ap-
plies knowledge and sanctifies it to the
pupils good. knowledge may be ruin
Gus or helpful. Whether it is the one or
the other lies with the teacher. Hence
in the selection of the teacher the ut
most care is taken to secure those that
will impart not only facts and truths to
be appropriated but will fill them with
the spirit of reverence for the divine in
all truth and with humility and simple
ity." Are you that kind of a teacher?
May l make some practical sugges-
tions? See that your school-room is kept
clean and we'll ventilated. So far as
possible have all the school surround
ings pleasant and attractive. Remember
that these things leave an indelibe i'm
preston on the life of children. In all
your reports be prompt and complete
and neat. Reports indicate character.
If you do not find copy of the school
census in the register ask the clerk for
it, and with your classification report
send the names and addresses of par
ents whose children of compulsory
school age are not in school.
Follow the course of study; don't
make any excuses for teaching physi-
ology in the seventh grade or S. d. his
tory in the first months ofthe eighth, etc.,
but follow the course of study.
Teach your pupils something about
current events and local geography, and
to observe many interesting things about
birds and flowers and trees and animals
and skies and stones. You see teacher
should know great deal more than
those whom she is to teach.-Supt. A.

COMING GOLD AT DENVER MINT

The United States mint in Denver will
next Monday begin coming about $780,
600 worth of 500 gold pieces a day. A
dispatch from Washington says the de.
mand for gold coin for export purposes
is responsible for the activity at all oi
the government mints.
"We coined during August 1856, 600
in $40 gold pieces and $57, 900 in 25-cent
silver pieces" said E. B. Leech, chiei
clerk to Superintendent Downer. "The
orders from Washington are to discon-
tinue the coinage of $40 gold and 25-
cent silver pieces and put the force to
work on the coins of the larger denom-
ination. We will not have to increase
the force and do not know how long the
order will be in effect. We have receiv.
ed no intimation of any intentions on
the part of the government to stop oper-
ations at the Denver mint"
The Washington dispatch says the
coinage of gold in the United States will
be suspended for an indefinite period
to save 100000 to $500, 900 a year in
mint expenses, if plans now forming in
the treasury department are adopted.
The idea is to issue gold certificates to
represent the bullion stored in the mints
and thereby prevent the coinage of gold
at the expense of this government for
the convenience of foreign money mar
kets.
The heavy coinage Of gold is expected
to continue until the situation is reliev-
ed by issuing certificates, unless there is
a change in the foreign demand for Am
erican money.-Denver Times.

POWER FOR MINING PURPOSES

Mr.. Paul M. Lincoln, of Pittsburg,
Pa, one of the consulting engineers oi
the Westinghouse Electric & Manufact-
urins Company, of East Pittsburg, and a
member of the American Institute oil
Electrical Engineers, was registered at
the Kleemann House Monday. His
visit here was for the purpose of deter
mining the available power obtainable
in this district as well as that required
by the Westinghouse E. &. NJ. Company
in its mining operations here and if
sufficient to warrant the construction cf
an electric transmission line from Pac-
tola, where the power plant of the Da-
kota Power Company is situated.
Mr.. Lincoln came to Custer at the
instigation of Judge McGee, of Rapid
City, who had advised Mr.. Grantham of
the intended visit, and was met at the
train by several business men of the
city. He was then turned over to the
care of L. M. Mcbride, also a member
of the American Institute of Electrical
Engineers, to place before him the pos
sibilities here for power.
A trip was made to the New York
mine in w. NJ. Lovett's automobile
the, party consisting of Mcbride, Lin
coin, Menger, Hazeltine and Lovett-
where Mr.. Lincoln was shown about the
mine by Acting Superintendent Harris,
in the absence of Superintendent Joseph
Pyne, after which he was supplied with
data by Mr.. Mcconnell concerning the
power required at the various mines of
the Westinghouse Z. & M. Company,
cost of fuel, etc. Mr.. Lincoln also dis.
cussed the possibilities of this district
with T. ". Delicate, w. W. Olds, Henry
Way and others.
The transmission line, if constructed,
will cost approximately 100000 and
will transmit power at $4,000 volts,
three phaze, alternating current The
total power consumed in this district at
present would amount to about 750horse
power, or $50 kilowats, about 4S5 K. W.
of which would be required by the
Westinghouse mines, so k. W. for light
ing our city and the balance for various
mining operations. The transmission
line would come through by the way of
either Hill City or Keystone, and dis
tribute power for mining purposes in
these districts.
In the event of this project going into
effect, it will mean plenty of cheap
power for mining in this district, and
which is one of the principal disadvan-
tages to the development of the mines
about here at the present time.
