BASE BALL BRIEFS.

Jake Stahl made more hits in the New
York series than on the whole western
trip.
Roy Hartzell is and always has been a
dependable hitter with men on bases-a
fact which the fair-weather fans forgot
when they guyed him for few errors last
week.
Whereas less progressive teams wait to
be batted around. the Giants run around.
Five of the ten leading base-stealers of
the National Lea que are Giants.
Umpire Owens is in hard luck. First
he was lad up with a heavy cold then he
was beaned by thrown ball; then he
fractured his ankle He has had his
bumps from head to heel.
Nobody uses many men during sea-
son as McGraw. BY pursuing that policy
strife. thus seeing that they get valuable
practice for emergencies and for future
service as regulars.

DAKOTA NORMklS TO
MAKE TEACHERS FOR
THE COUNTRY SCHOOL
Board Of Regents See Good Ii
Demand That Is Coming
From Voters.

Mitchell, s. D., Sept. 2s-7For the past
two or three years the normal schools
Of the state have made an effort that
has been more or less successful in efi-
deavoring to break away from the line
Of educational work for which they
were especially created. Regent
Hitchcock, OF this city, president OF
the board, together with several Other
members have sought to keep the nor
mails within the scope as provided by
the state educational law under whicE
the schools were created, andSthe worR
Of which was prescribed. One or two
Of the normals r building their
courses with the idea Of attaining the
higher dignity OF the state university
and overlooking their special business
OF equipping teachers to teach in the
common and graded schools. Realizing
that the greater percentage by far of
the states population Is dependent up-
on the success OF agriculture, the re-
gents have enacted some special Iegis-
lation by which the courses leading ia
the general high school or college,
which were academic In character,
were revised and made to conform
more particularly with fetching in
view.
Resolutions adopted by the board OF
regents express the sentiment that
there is an urgent demand from the
taxpayers Of the state that the courses
Of study and the character of the In
struction In the common schools con
form In q more practical way to meet
ing the needs of the agricultural inter-
ests of the state and the needs of the
number Of citizens who can have no
school training above the eighth
grade" To place the normal schools
en- their proper basis, the regents
adopted the following resolution:
.5 Resolution 10 Adopted.
"That the administration of the var
ious normal schools or the state be So
directed that more effective results be
obtained in properly training young
men and women for teachers in the
common schools; that more emphasis
be placed upon a thorough training In
branches of study required to be
taught in the common within the first
eight grades, and in those branches
and subjects required in an examina-
ton by the state superintendent OF
public instruction for first and second
grades, that no solicitation be made
by public advertising Or private in
dncements to encourage pupils to at
tend these schools for the purpose of
preparing for college, or taking parts
OF college courses without having In
view the teachers profession; that
special attention shall be given to ef-
fective instruction in the following
subjects: Home economics, manual
training, state government, civic duty,
morality, elements of agriculture,
problems of rural life, sex hygiene,
laws OF health, sanitation. ventilat. on.
lighting and heating. With these sub
Jects being taught in the normals, the
regents believe that the general public
will be more benefited than by follow
ing the training for n college course.
1t has taken tho board Of regents sew
eral years to overcome the situation,
but they will stand by it now.
