ton on Relevant Matters
Mitchell-The fifth annual report OF
the high schools of the state has
just been issued, which brings ou
a vast amount of information con-
and shows what is being accomplish
ed In a way, likewise the meager
salaries which are paid the various
superintendent. In this n respect
there seems to be an urgent need for
an increase to keep up the standards
of these institutions. The statistics
shown are that of the 129 high schools
of the state from which reports were
received there are Ais instructors, 276
OF them have college degrees; 70 have
a four-year course, 20 a three-year
course, "a a two-year course, six a
one-year course. Only a trifie over
half OF the superintendent of these
schools have degrees, and it is argued
that for higher salaries more capable
men could be employed. The totas
attendance of pupils numbers 6,195,
with 999 seniors.
The total amount of salaries paid
the superintendent is $73,266, or an
average of S1,375. The amount paid
to principals and other instructors
amount to 1851 ,249, or an average of
$645. The city of Lead pays the
highest salary for its superintendent.

intendent next year will receive $1,000
making an increase of $500 yer form

fall term the Mitchell high school will
install domestic science in addition

has been in force for two years.

genius for honesty and patriotism and
was the incarnation of common ense.
His mother, after reading a letter
from him during the Revolutionary
war which conveyed good news, said:
George generally carries through
anything he undertakes" Mrs. U. s.
Grant once said, referring to her hus-
bands determination and persistence:
HE is a very obstinate man." Grant
was not a genius any than
Washington, but both men had the
gift of success.
1t is well for the American people
that they have idealized Washington,
and 1t is to be hoped that they may
lower nor change their ideal,
and yet he was very human. AS a
young man and even after his mar
riage he was very fond of fox hunting.
He could get very angry on fit occa-
sions and sometimes swore. He drank
a generous glass Of wine every day
at dinner and allowed his negro but
Ter and cook each a bottle of beer a
day. Nearly thirty years ago a friend
ly b~iographer wrote:

since the death of George Washing

be perfect master of himself and to

Differing in form, but presenting the
same sentiments, the Office of the gov
ernor for the past two days has been
flooded with letters and kilograms
protesting against the bill, now before
the house, which seeks to put into
effect the recommendations made by
the special investigating committee
that the management of the Soldiers
Home at Hot Springs be placed in
the hands of people who are in no way
connected with the Grand Army, and
especially of younger men.
Since the introduction of the bill,
the old soldiers of the state have been
protecting against its passage and
there is an organized effort being
made to bring about it's defeat.
Not only has Governor vessey been
receiving large numbers of these mes
sages, but many other officials of
the state, as well as the legislators
have been appealed to.
