first place. Mr.. Hill, however, was
we'll satisfied TO land a second place
in a contest which brought cattle to-
gethel from South Dakota to Ohio,

%ceptionally strong.
1t is a great compliment to South
Dakota cattle TO be able to break in
TO the big show INT get up as close
TO the winners as did the steer be-
longing to Mr.. Hill, and it requires
no little nerve to take ones cattle
into such competition, from which
none are barred, and because OF the
great prominence of the show and
the awards that are made purely on
merit, the best cattle of the country
are displayed at Chicago in the hope
Of securing recognition.

lifetime to the breeding of his cat

We commend the policy of the
Hon. G. G. Lawrence in urging state
cid for the weaker school districts
and for the establishing and main
tanning Of normal training in our
high schools; and in promoting the
consolidation OF schools in the
sparsely settled districts: and we
most cordially endorse the stand he
has taken in reference to securing
Interstate recognition for the high
CIR grades OF teachers certificates.
I'VE believe that constant vigi-
lance is necessary to keep the school
courses in touch with the needs Of
the communities in which The school
is situated; and that while the cleo
tive principle should be held in due
restraint, the needs OF the individual
pupil should receive greater and a.
ways greater consideration.

We further urge our senators
