TEACHERS INSTITUTE.
Attendance Was Large and More Than a
Success.-Joint Institute at Custer
Next Year.

Last week the first joint Institute be-
tween this and Fall River counties, was
held at Hot Springs, the attendance be.
ing about 12S. A large number from this
immediate vicinity were present, six Of
the 1918 Custer graduating class attend
ing. While the method of holding joint
institutes in the eastern part of the state
has been in vogue for several years, it
has not been tried extensively until re
Gently in the Black Hills country, but in
every case the results more than justify
the plan. More and abler instructors
can be secured than where institute is
held singly, and the greater number Of
teachers present makes an atmosphere
Of enthusiasm that does not exist where
there are only few teachers present, a
condition that is very often the case in
many western counties when the insti-
tute is held without conjunction with
another county. Co. Supt. Illsley, with
Co. Supt. Furgesou, of Fall River coun-
ty, chose the following instructors: Miss
Jane McGrath, Spearfish; Ex-Supt. f.
j. Morgan, of Custer; Hattie M. Nit
chell, of Des Moines; r. r. Lewis, ex-
Supt. of schools, Hot Springs.
They had originally secured DR.. Geo.
w. Nash, of Aberdeen, but illness at the
last moment prevented his coming, and
Miss McGrath was secured. She did
justice to herselfand her work and made
teachers and all forget DR.. Nash's ab-
sence. Her pleasing personality and
exceptional ability place her among the
leading educators. Everything N con-
nection with the institute was harmon
ious to an extreme, and teachers, in
structors, and county superintendents
felt that the institute was more than q
success. Tuesday evening at the Evans
a reception was an interesting feature,
and Friday afternoon a large number of
teachers were excused by the county
uperintendents to go to Wind Cave.
Although the weather was very warm
most of the time, the teachers entered
into the spirit of the institute with COM
mendable zeal, and with entertaining
and helpful material and lectures from
the instructors, all felt we'll repaid for
the time and money spent. Each of the
instructors made himself popular with
the teachers, and was given good atten-
ton, and County Superintendents
Illsley and Furgeson are to be COM
mended for their having planned Joint
institute aud having secured instruct ors
with high ideals and modern ideas re-
garding the teaching profession. Plans
have already been made for bringing
the joint institute to Custer next year,
and our enterprising citizens should plan
extensive and novel ways of entertain
ing the visitors.

1t Is reported that trout thieves are
plying their nefarious trade in the Hills
streams. They fill a heavy glass bottle
with lime, place few drops of water in
the lime, tightly cork the bottle and
throw it into the trout holes. The lime
in Stacking develops tremendous force
and explodes the bottle, killing many
trout, which rise to the surface and are
taken in by the thieves.

A Pierre special dated July 1st says:
The attorney general holds that the state
land commissioner may use funds appro-
priated for the expense of administration
of the state forest reserve for the ex-
pense of fencing the tract. While the
legislature provided for the use of a por-
ton of the state game fund for that pur-
pose the cost is likely to run over this
appropriation, and under the ruling
there need be no delay in continuing
the work in case the direct appropri-
alton is not sufficient.

Herbert V. Juul, (Burton) who was
on the pitching staff of the lshpeming
league baseball team last season, is
trying to secure his release from the
Columbus club of the American ASSOC
citation, and his case was the subject
of an interesting article in last weeks
issue of The Sporting News. II says;
Player Herbert V. JUL states that
when he was released by the Chicago
National league club to the Louisville
American association club, he reported
Ia the latter on July ,, 1911, but on his
refusal TO assume his Chicago con-
tract. he was given his unconditional
release, On July 4, of that year, he
accepted terms with the Cincinnati
club, entered It's services, remained
with it until July -, when he was
paid in full at the rate Of 1915 per
month and his services transferred
To the Columbus club of the American
association.
The Columbus club offered him a
contract at the same salary that he
had received from the Cincinnati club.
but the player declined it with the ex-
PLANTATION that he did not consider
himself justified in playing for a min
Or league club for as small a remun-
Grafton as he received from a ajor
league club. The Columbus club.
thereupon, suspended him and has an
nually rendered him contract for
1872 and for 1913 at $500 a month.
The player contends that under the
circumstances he is entitled Ia he de-
clared free agent lie admits that
he is not satisfied that he could make
good in the American association.
THE commission holds that the Co
lunibus club has fully complied with
The laws of the game i'm dealing with
this player and dismisses his com
plant.
His refusal to contract with the
Columbus club at the salary he WAS
paid by the incinnat club was the
sole cause of his failure Ia obtain lib
cral compensation as a player. The
contracts, calling for $500 a month,
| rendered him for 1912 and 1913, were
formal and not conclusive as to sal
ary which is always "A subject for
