SCHOOL T

John Celnar, q member OF the
class Of '12, has been enrolled as a
sophomore in the Mitchell UDiver-
sity. In a letter to Supt. McVay,
he informs US that he likes his
school work fine and is also we'll
pleased with his location. 1t is
also interesting to Scotland friends
to know that Miss Mills aud June
Csss are among his classmates.
Misses Bertha Colwell and Vivian
Brown were high school visitors
Thursday afternoon.
Thursday morning Prof. McVay
placed upon the blackboard the
question "What is your purpose in
attending high school?" Each
pupil was asked to give an answer
or if unable to do SO, to write upon
the paper 81 don't know. There
we're nineteen 81 don't knows"
while about seventy five expressed
q desire to be something worth
while, many preparing to become
teachers, lawyers, doctors and
many other professional business
pursuits So we may draw the
conclusion that we have nineteen
aimless persons and seventy five
purposeful workers 10 high school.
Lula Harris spent a few hours
Friday in calling on old school
friends. She was accompanied
home by her brother, John, who is
enrolled in the ninth grade.
The corn palace at Mitchell has
attracted the attention of a num-
Der of the pupils, and as a result
We have an additional number OF
absences.
On Tuesday morning Prof. Me
Way read a little poem entitled
"The Impossible" to the high
school students. This poem gave
the view of two men on some piece
of work. One thot "It simply
can't be DONE and found numer-
GUS reasons to support his state
ment, while the other simply
went to work and completed.the job.
We may conclude then that the
first one wasn't particularly anxious
to exert any too much labor, while
the second did not stop to ask what
exeriioDs ON his part it would cost
but resolved it must be done any
way.
Mr.. Geo. Dunmire visited the
high school Wednesday morning.
He had the pleasure of listening to
the Physics class recite as.lesson on
Air Pressure.
The high school was favored By

George w. Childs, better known as
"Gumshoe Childs," at %Primghar, Ia,
on the charge of jumping a board
bill in a n~eigLboring town, is of pc
culiar interest to a number of resi-
dents of Sioux Falls, for the reason
that the local authorities say Childs
is the same Individual who early in
September appeared in Sioux Falls
and victimiZed a number of saloon
men, as we'll as other citizens.
Claiming to have been given the
necessary authority by a member OF
the city commission he visited the sa-
loon men, and, on the plea that a
fund was needed to enable him to
run down and arrest restaurant men
who were alleged to be selling in vio-
lation of the law, he assessed the sa-
loon men 500 each, and in a number
OF Instances collected the sum before
the saloon men were made aware that
he had no authority to collect any
sum from them. The city commits
sEoners have evinced a desire to in,
vestigate Childs' connection with the
saloon men here and an effort may
