The Davidson Lecture.

Friday evening was no doubt the
important program of the convention.
The musical numbers rel especial
ly fine. Prof. Fullinweider, Of the
University played a violin solo that
commanded attention and applause.
He graciously played an encore with
equal excellence. Prof. Lindsay, of
the high school, sang a solo and was
heartily received as usual by all pres
|ent.
The main address of the evening
was given by Superintendent David
son, of Omaha, preceding which
President Nolan gave a short address
concerning the convention and edu-
c%ational trend at present.
Superintendent Davidson's address
was on the work of a teacher in
moulding patriotic character and was
delivered with great oratorical ex-
c%ellence. Perhaps no n has heard
recently such a lofty exposition of
what it means to be a teacher, and
what the possibilities of a child are.
The high school choruses again
gave an excellent program of songs.
The compliments on the music have
been numerous by the many teachers
present.
Saturday forenoon Miss Inez F.
Kelsoe, of Alexandria, gave an ad-
dress on the causes Of inefficient
teachers. This was much appreciated.
Miss Kelsoe touched upon the real
causes why efficient teachers must
leave the profession and in leav-
ing this field, who remains?
Salary alone is an important factor,
lack of really intelligent appreciation
drives many away into other fields.

SAVED RURAL ROUTES
Good Roads Movement Saved Two or
Three Rural Routes from Being
Done Away With.

Inc postoffice department has
reached the point where it insists on
good roads being provided for the
rural route mail carriers. Perhaps
the patrons on the routes had an idea
that the department was not par
ticularly serious about the roads be-
ing made passable and that most any
thing would do for the carriers.
Postmaster Wells has been ham
mering on the good roads idea for
some time, with special reference to
the carriers routes, the principal rea-
son being that the postoffice depart
ment had decided. practically. to cut
out several routes where the roads
were bad and were not being kept
up according to the requirements Of
the department. Mr.. Wells secured
aeplat> of the various routes fromythe
carriers and on these plats the car
riers showed just where the bad
roads were, and it gave the postmas-
ter some definite information as to
where the bad places we're.
He informed the department at
Washington what was being done in
this city and county on the good roads
proposition. and on that showing the
department deferred any action on
the cancellation Of any Of the routes
out of Mitchell. In a letter from p. v.
DeGraw, fourth assistant postmaster
general, the postmaster was given
to understand that the department
appreciates what he has done along
that line. g
Mr.. Wells sent q great many let
ters out to patrons living along the
rural route conveying to them
what the department expects In the
way Of good roads, and with the pos
sibility Of having the routes cancell-
ed he is Of the opinion that the good
roads idea will receive a big impetus.

FRIDAY A BUSY DAY
Leading Educators Deliver Addresses
OF Vital Interest to Assembled
Pedagogs.

FRIDAY was a very busy day with
the school teachers in the convention
work, and beginning early in the
morning every moment was spent
with great profit. The discussions and
talks throughout the day we're given
the closest attention, and it was the
evident desire of the teachers to get
the full benefit of all that was said.
h convention received an excel
lent address from Supt. Harmon of
Yankton. 1t was full of vitality and
the real things concerning better
and more efficient boys and girls.
With proper environment and work
during vacation and in school, the
loss in good boys and girls should be
greatly decreased.

and responded to an enthusiastic en-
core. Miss Meherg's playing made a
fine impression. With a full tone,
clear, and fine Interpretation it was
greatly enjoyed.
There is perhaps no n in South
Dakota who has such a hearty inter-
est in state history as Miss Kathryn
French of Elk Point. Certainly, if her
plans and ways of teaching this sub
ject are followed by the schools at
large, there will grow up a generation
filled with knowledge and patriotism.

gave a short but spirited discussion
of this paper.
The Round Tables by Prof. Akeley
and Mrs. Beaumont were we'll attend
ed and of unusual interest. Mrs.
Beaumont was most helpful in al.
the discussions. Some very uncertain
things in regard to high school top
les were cleared up by Prof. Akeley.
High school domination by colleges
was up for discussion and in some OF
it's aspects was severely handled by
Supt. Cummins and Supt. Nystrom.
The Afternoon Session.
The grade songs were greatly en-
joyed by all teachers. The pupils
showed an excellent training. The
piano duet by Misses Ruth Turney
and Helen Powers aud the trio by
Mrs. Hitchcock, Mrs. Emily Bras
Swift and Miss Jessie Walrath were
of strictly high class order and CIV
en- an excellent rendering and a fine
appreciation by the audience.
Supt. Davidson and Prof. Perisho
conducted Round Tables during the
afternoon session, the former on
Language and Prof. Perisho in his
usually vigorous way, on geography.
At both tables a keen interest was
aroused in the subject under discus
sion.
The address Of the afternoon pro-
gram was given by Supt. A. E. Cham
berlain of Brookings. The facts pre-
sented by Supt. Chamberlain are GER
tainly of vital Importance to South
Dakota. To obtain not only an interest
in agriculture but also to make it q
scientific study is a great work,
alike possible in country and town
schools.

tables were placed in the dining and
sitting rooms, and plates were laid
for forty. The decorations we're sweet

A novel method was employed to
select partners for the dinner table.
