While each week our papers an
nOunce to us numerous candidates for
county offices, yet so far we fail to
notice mention of any candidate for
office of County Superintendent Of
Schools. This is one Of the most i'm
portant offices OF the county and one
which few can fill, requiring, as it
should, broad educational training,
both theoretical and practical. These
requirments can be found In Mrs. r.
P. Dean, former high school principal
who will accept and fill the office In IA
most creditable manner, subject to
the decision Of the primary.

Codington County has been holding
a big corn show this week and lectur-
es OF great ~helplulness to the farmers
have been given by noted speakers.
Among that uumDer was State Supt,
Lawrence, Who plead for n better
menJ OF rural schools and advocated
central school as The best means TO
that end. We copy the following from
his address, taken from the Watertown
Public Opinion.
" But it was when dealing with the
centralized effort that Prof. Lawrence
waxed eloquent. lie said that the
country boys and girls are entitled 10
all the consideration given the town
children. 1t should o be necessary,
in his opinion, for the farmer TO SEND
his children To the towns TO hnlSh
their education from the common
schools. Those country children should
have the means within easy reach.
They should have a central school
which should afford all the advantage
es accorded a City school. The farm
er pays the cost, in any event. Ii
he sends his children to the city
school he has the matter Of the board
to consider, even though the district,
under the state law pays the tuition.
Again, the central school affords
means for social gatherings and pro
notes social intercourse Nothln &
has yet been discovered that surpas s.
ses the old fashioned d debating society
and the old fashioned spelling school
in promoting social intercourse and
in developing concentrated effort,
Prof. Lawrence closed with an ap'
peal to the people to get together Tor
the purpose of meeting the changed
conditions in order that we may move
forward In our educational affairs
keeping step with the discernible In
other lines of endeavor. To fail to dc
1t said he, would be to turn a deaf ca
to the command OF equipptng our
child rem successfully with life's prob
lens"

not to let him trick her into seeing

She's in the library II you want to

the Almanach de Gotha and put 1t

asked.
Yes" l answered. Why"

"1 do. Why"

Hap knew him, too. He reached the
steps by the time the newspaper man
did and politely managed to block his
progress.
There was a curious silence on the
terrace after whisperings as to the
identity Of the newcomer. Everybody
was listening.

repeat "Awfully sorry. Miss >gazziz

Can you tell me where she is?" the
reporter asked.
She's shopping" Hap lied glibly.
Never know exactly where a woman
is when she shops"
"Shopping?" repeated the reporter.
But" He looked at Hap and smiled,
glanced toward the front door, then
frankly looked over Hap's shoulder at
the crowd on the terrace. Hap noted
the action and grinned. He swept his
hand-generally In our direction.

marked affably. He was sure that Ma

EASY TO TEACH BLACKBlR0
10 a Natural imitator and Responds
Quickly to Training-lts Mem
ory Strong.

The blackbird, which belongs to the
thrush family, has strong initiative
powers, and has even been taught to
speak There Is not much variety in
its natural song, but Its voice has
pure, dute-like tone and full volume.
The bird is very susceptible of being
trained. and when reared by hand
from the nest is capable Of forming
strong attachments and makes Itself
a great favorite.
When blackbird is six or eight
weeks old, his training should be be-
gun. Take him to quiet room away
from any other birds. and each night
and morning whistle the portion OF
the tune you wish him to learn. or
play it on the flute. Feed him before
