having a good time. They are all en-
terlng upon their work with a renew
ed vigor. Teachers and pupils ALIKE
are getting down to business and We
are looking for some OF the best
work Of the year.
Quite a number OF new pupils
have matriculated since the holi-
days and some Of them are showing
themselves far above the average In
ability. The work has already been
somewhat rearranged and fitted bet
ter for the needs OF the pupils.
Pupils who are six years old and
who have not yet entered school may
do so. provided they enter before the
eleventh day Of January. The tuition
will be $50 per month, payable
IN advance. The reason We want them
10 start al this time is that We can
classify them now. but cannot do 30
later and IL would not be best to
orqanize new classes for them every
few days.

workers On the farm, but in the direc-
ton Of a full fedged, cosmopolitan citi-
zenship on the farms"
DR.. Hume stated that country
schools in South Dakota are not entire
ly adequate because they do not offer
country boys and girls the anne high
school privileges that are offered city
and town children. One of the reasons
for this inadequacy, he said, Is the
fact that country people have not de-
manded such schools. The farmers
have not mustered together enough
votes to pass in the legislature bills
to establish consolidated high schools
within reach OF country homes. AS an
example Of what might be done in the
way Of consolidating rural schools, DR..
Hume called attention to the John
Swaney School in Putnam County, Hi.
nois, and Colebrook Academy In New
Hampshire.
But the time is coming" he con-
cluded," when South Dakota schools
will be made measurably adequate.
When the state will supply the schools
with the newest and most necessary
information about agricultural prob
lens by means Of the state experiment
station, the people will then have done
their duty in adopting such a system.
The state can neither shirk the respon-
sibility nor shift it. 1t can neither
delegate it to corporations nor to the
federal government. It is the business
of the state to educate the citizens Of
the state"

A SOUTH DAKOTA STORY

When Will Lillibridgc of Sioux
Falls, s. D., wrote his famous novel,
Where the Trail Divides" he little
thought that Robert Edeson, the great
est impersonator of Indian characters,
would seize upon it as a worthy sue
cessor of his greatest play, Strong
heart" which enjoyed the distinction
of many years successful business.
'Strongheart," in a way was an I'M
finished product. In it the great alb
sorbing question was unanswered,
should the intermarriage Of the red
and white races the ostraciza-
ton of the contracting parties? In
"Strongheart" the Indian gives up his
white sweetheart, while in Where the
Trail Divides" the Indian marries
her, only to give her UP afterward. 1t
is a delicate subject to handle and
takes a master hand to place it before
the public in the right light and to
eliminate all offensiveness. This
South Dakota play m to Brookings

THIEVES ARE BUSY

Mrs. E. B. O'Hair called at the Regis
ter Office one day this week to lodge
a protest against the kind of protec-
ton that the law affords to the farm
ers close to Brookings. Mrs. O'Hair
says that thieves from Brookings
have stolen practically all of her tur-
keys this fall, and her neighbors have
suffered similar losses, one farmer
losing all of the poultry he had. We
have plenty of laws to cover this Of
tense and the trouble seems to be in
getting some one to enforce them.
The ones against whom these offenses
are committed should do their share to
help punish the guilty ones. Recently
three men we're caught in the act OF
stealing turkeys from the Orhrans
slaughter house, but they were allow
ed to go free when it would have been
an excellent opportunity to make an
example of them. Stealing poultry is
about as small and mean as any crime
we know of, as the poultry Is usually
the property Of the women on the
farm, who puts in much hard work
raising it for pocket money" The
best advice We can give Mrs. O'Hair
and her n%eighbors is to buy shot guns,
as a liberal dose of rock salt will do
the thieves almost as much good as
a term in the penitentiary. If both
can be administered so much the bet
ter.

AGRICULTURE IN SCHOOLS

Agriculture in the public schools
must go deeper than bigger crops"
said DR.. A. N. Hume, of the State Col
lege, at Sioux Falls. before the State
Teachers Association, in presenting
his paper on The Spirit of Agricul-
ture in Education"
"A dollar diplomat will never make
anything more than a fool of himself
posing as an educator Of the people Of
the farms. Dollar diplomacy has a
vote in educational acairs, just one
vote, and that vote Is qualification.
"In order to introduce agriculture
into the public schools, its subject mat.
ter must necessarily have a pedagogi-
cal standing. 1t must increasingly be-
come a subject requiring downright
study and hard work. School people
should see to it that agriculture shall
take the same pedagogical standing
as any other subject in the curriculum
along with other subjects"
DR.. Hume warned against aping
some Of the industrial features in the
European system Of teaching agricul
ture schools away from general schools
tends to peasantize the farmers
What ever system Of educating we
shall adopt in South Dakota" he said

direction, not merely Of more skillful

THANKSGIVING FOOTBALL

Our football teams had varied ex-
p~eriences on the glad Thanksgiving
day. The College boys walked
all over Dakota Wesleyan Of
Mitchell at the college park,
winning by the one-sided score
of 3S to 3, while the high school boys
were walloped numerically at Pierre,
the score standing 55 to Z.
The college game was an interesting
one, in spite Of the one-sided score,
and was witnessed by a big holiday
crowd. The Brookings team started
slowly, making n touchdown in the
first quarter, and they got better every
minute of the game. The Methodists
showed occasional flashes Of form and
carried the ball for short distances but
in the main they were busy trying to
keep the Brookings score as low as
possible. In the last few minutes Of
play the visitors made their best show
ing, taking the ball down to within
striking distance of the Brookings
goal, from where they drop kicked a
goal for their only score Peterson
was the offensive star for ~Brookings
and his line plunges were responsible
for a good deal Of the ground gained
by his team. Bushey and Caldwell
also carried the ball we'll.
The high school boys have not fur
nished us with any Of the details of
their game, but We are forced to the
conclusion that Pierre must have had
the better team. The Brookings team,
however, played a hard game with
Madison on Monday and with only one
days rest they undertook the long trip
to Pierre. They were naturally stiff
and sore and unable to do themselves
justice.

At the South Educational Associa-
ton meeting at Sioux Falls last week
Superintendent Browning of the
Brookings schools was selected presi-
dent of the College and Secondary
Schools division Of the association.
This is quite an honor and especially
so in Mr.. Browning's case, as he has
only been in the state a couple of
years. Miss Gertrude Stedman, u
county superintendent, was placed on
an important committee, that Of look
ing after the state exhibit to the San
Francisco exposition, and Prof. w. H.
Powers was named as a member Of

OF INTEREST TO BOYS

In another column we publish a
complaint against Brookings boys from
n Of the farmers who live on the
river. 1t seems that the boys from
town have been In the habit Of going
out there to spend the day and on
these trips they have made it a prac-
tice to annoy the farmers. The farm
ers are in a frame of mind to start
something and the boys had better be
careful in the future or there will be
some more Brookings representatives
