COLLEGE TRAINING
South Dakota Institution Fur
nishes Officers for Spanish
War

Bookings. Dec. Is South Dakota
state college furnished more soldiers
and officers for the Spanish American
wal than any similar institution in the
United States. The First South Dako-
Ia volunteers was organized in 1899 and
Col. A. 5. Frost, then commandment at
the college. vas placed in command
Over oDe-third of the officers of that
regiment and many Of the non-com.
missioned officers, received their early
military training at the state college.
To them is due a large share of the
brilliant record made 10y the First
South Dakota in the Philippines.
At present a third of the officers, and
including the adjutant general of the
national guard Of the state, are gradu.
ates of this institution. The state de-
ponds largely upon the state college
TO furnish offers for the national
guard and for any volunteers that
may have to be raised. The present
military efficiency of our state troops is
largely due to these officers. In March
1919 a national guard company com
posed entirely of college men was or
ganized at Brookings.
The military department is one of
the Oldest departments in state college,
and it is the only school of military
training in South Dakota. 1t was es-
tablished in 1888, and for the first few
years, in order to meet the require
ments of the government in numbers,
girls were required to take drill.
Tie government now makes an annual
appropriation Of about 800, 600 to the
college, in exchange requiring in ex-
change requiring the maintenance of
a military department.
Lieutenant p. b. Peyton of the 14th
U. 5. Infantry, now commandment at
the college, will leave about January
l for his regiment, which is divided
among the garrisons in Montana and
No tn Dakota. His time allotted
away from the regiment on such
duty, college service, will then be
used up. He has done much to i'm.

responsible for its present standing.

BETTER NORMAL
Training for Rural Teachers
Suggested by State
Superintendent

Pierre, Dec. l6.-C. q. Lawrence,
state superintendent of instruction,
his fled his biennial report with the
governor. Holding that the laws are
loosely drawn and conflicting, he asks
that a commission of seven or nine
men be selected to frame an educa-
tional bill to systematize and unity the
laws and present the same to the 1918
81 ssion of the Legislature foI action
along such lines. and that the coming
legislative session provide an appro-
priation for the expenses Of such a
commission.
While holding that there is material
progress along educational lines to keep
up with modern day requirements in
the public schools, and that the preva-
lent psssimism in regard to the public
schools lie not we'll founded, he sug
gests further improvements which
might well be made, among them con-
solidation of rural schools and state
aid to the same as is given in other
states. He asks that the constitutional
limitation of two terms to a county
superintendent of schools be eliminated
to allow the county to retain an efici-
emit official if he is once secured.
The question of efficiency of the
work of the department of the county
superintendent of schools is commented
upon. the holding being that in the
larger counties of the state. even with
the one assistant allowed, is not suf-
~ficient. and that in such counties
there should be provided an officer to
be known as a rural school supervis-
or. He wants better normal training
for teachers. especially for those of
the rural schools. He shows that out
of &, 1000 teachers employed in the state
about 4. 800 are employed in the rural
schools. and that these should have
efficient normal training for the work.
