THE SCHOOL OF
AGRICULTURE
OF COLLEGE OPENS FOR YEAR
ON TUESDAY.
VERMILLION GAME ON MONDAY
INTERESTING ITEMS OF DOjNGS
AT THE STATE COLLEGE.

The School of Agriculture opened
tuesday of this week. A large number
or students have already enrolled and
it is expected that the school this year
Will comprise at least one hundred and
fifty students. This is the third year
since the school was instituted and
since the course consists of three
years instruction of five months each,
the pioneer class will graduate next
March. The great value of this short
course in agriculture is in the giving
OF an opportunity for the young men
and women of the rural districts to
secure during the winter practical
training for profitable farming and
successful home management.
The school is under the direction of
DR.. A. A. Brigham with Miss Nola X.
Fromme as assistant principal. They
are assisted in the teaching work by
several Of the regular instructors of
the college.
The State College football teams
won in one game and lost in another
last Saturday. While the first team
were meeting their first defeat of the
season in the hands of st Thomas at
Lexington Park, st. Paul, the second
team was winning a victory over the
Madison Normal on the local Athletic
Park. The latter game was witnessed
by most OF the state college students,
and was very close and exciting
throughout, as the resulting score
6 to 5 would indicate. The second
team plays the B~rookings High School
here next Saturday. On Monday at
Vermillion the first team will play the
State University team. This game
will decide the state championship and
will doubtless be the closest and
hardset fought game played In South
Dakota thi season.
The students and the people of
BroOkings had the pleasure of hearing
the noted Rev. Mrs. Anna Shaw at
the opera house Wednesday OF last

and logical lecture on Equal Suffrage"
and her clear convincing arguments
doubtless won many converts for her
cause.
On Friday evening the Sophomores
gave the Seniors a very enjoyable
Amusements took up the
first part of the evening, then followed
a sumptuous supper. The armory halls
and dining tables were very pretty
set off with beautiful autumnal decora-
lions. After supper the rest OF the
exening was spent in dancing.
Judge Geo. d. Alden, as first number
on the college lecture course, gave n

large and appreciative audience. a fact
most encouraging to the Lecture
Course Management. The next num-
Der will be the Katherine Ridgeway
Company and will be held at teh
Opera house next Saturday evening,
