From the early history of the town
the citizens Of Brookings have taken
q lively interest in educational affairs,
and this interest today finds express
sion in advantages and equipment
which have been provided, and which
would be a credit to any city in the
land. In fact the population of the
city has increased and her require
ments along educational lines have
kept pace with the growth. These re-
Quirements have been catered to by a
public-spirited, patriotic and enlighten-
ed citizenship; the splendid high
school and grade buildings are slightly
and beautiful to see, and nothing con
tributes more to the knowledge and
virtue, the prosperity and happiness
Of the many than the educational facili-
ties and advantages afforded in the
city of B%rookings.
The authorities of the state and
those concerned in the founding of the
State College wisely provided for the
best interest of the state in establish
ing the most important and which is
today the biggest educational institu-
ton in the commonwealth in a city
that has the greatest advantages for
inspiring the best results in the matter
of education. Too, a college town,
other things being equal, is the best
place for the youth to secure his ele-
mentary and high school education be-
cause an educational atmosphere helps
to educate.
The Brookings public schools have
always been good. They are better
today than they have eve been. The

posed of Pres. Geo. P. S%exauer, DR..

who are alive in the trend of present
day educational aims and methods.
Superintendent Browning who by his
efficient services has won for the
school an enviable reputation for the
high standard of work and the degree
of excellence they have attained. An
inspection of the course of study of
the Brookings high school will show
that the efficiency of instructions, the
acquired habit Of thought and study,
the general intellectual and moral
tone of the school are made paramount
factors. Attention is given to the So
called practical in education and the
course provides for not only the Eng
lish branches but the dead and foreign
languages, mathematics, history, COM
mercial subjects, music and the ele-
ments of the sciences. To this is add
ed manual training, mechanical draw
ing and the theory and practice of do
nestle economy and household science.
Independent thought, luency Of speech
increased vocabulary, ease and grace
in appearing before an audience are
fostered and emphasized in the work
of the literary societies and social or
CARNATIONS of the school. The good
morals and good manners exemplifed
in the students coupled with their men
tai training justify Brookings in the
claim Of having the best schools in the
state. The North Central Association
Of Colleges and Secondary Schools
consider the Brookings high school
one of the very best in that organiza-
tion. Its high school graduates may
enter the Freshman class Of any col.
Jege OF university in any Of the q
states of the North Central Associa-
ton without examination.
1t Is not too much to say that the
youth who goes through the regular
course Of the Brookings high school
will be fitted 10 enter in the struggle
for life and to begin that higher edu.
cation only to be attained by contact
with society and the world. Should he
be destined to a mor liberal course
Of study. he will find what he has
acquired here will. when he enters
the Freshman class at college or uni
versity, place him ahead Of his fel-
lows.
In view OF the fact that the Brook
ings schools open for another year a
week from next Monday. September

the members OF the teaching star Will
