~Brookings Schools have Always Been
City's Pride-CoIlege and School
Attendance Larger Than Ever

Brookings the City of Homes" is
just as truly the city of schools. Our
schools are the pride of every citizen,
patron, and teacher. The need of edu-
cation, higher education, is being felt
more and more. Our past is a record
of which We are justly proud, for our
schools have always been the best.
We would however not be content with
the past record, but look forward and
press onward to ever better things.
Our schools are better today than
they have ever been, so onward ever
onward be the motto. Dur teachers
are competent, efficient, and pains
taking. The enrolment this year is
the largest in the history of the city.
Every room is crowded to its utmost
capacity, yet new pupils are being en-
rolled every day. The spirit of educa-
ton Is in our midst as Is plainly mani
fest, by the attendance Of pupils who
have been out Of school for several
years.
Our present standard Of efficiency
has been attained by the hearty CO.
operation that exists between the peo-
pie of Bookings and her schools. This
cooperation is one of the essentials of
success. This fellow-feeling exists not
only toward our public schools, but
likening toward the college on the hill,
which is the most important as we'll as
the largest educational institution in
the state. The enrolment this year is
greater han ever before.
We have no hesitancy in saying
best places to secure not only an
elementary education but a high
school and collegiate education as
well, for an educational atmosphere
helps to educate.
Hand in hand with our splendid
schools march our churches. That
this friendship and cooperation may
become even more effective, the min
~isterial association at it's last meeting,
by a unanimous vote, devoted Sabbath
evening, October A to the subject of
to an end. To realize the aim in
mind requires the cooperation of
every citizen, teacher and student. We
would not urge you to attend any
church, select the church of your
choice, then invite a friend to ac-
company you. You need the schools,
most certainly need your cooperation
at this time as at all times. The sub
ject of education has perhaps never
in the past received the attention that
it is receiving today. Never in the
past has Bookings given an entire
service to this subject. In all our
schools, from the lowest to the high
est in grade, students must be trained
morally, officially, and socially. They
must learn the greatest of all arts,
that Of living together in peace and
harmony with their ~neighbors. They
must learn that their neighbors have
rights as well as they, and to respect
these rights is a sacred American
duty. Whatever the future may see in
our community life. it will always be
school. and of the search to inculcate
a deep and abiding regard for civic
righteousness. They together must
give to society staunch, able, intelli-
gent and dependable citizens.
No man who has vision "a fail to
see that this is the best era in the his
tory of American civilization. There
never were SO many who wen to
church; there never were SO many
mems bible classes; there were
so many men affiliated with religious
organizations. The sins of a decade
ago are going out of date and are on
the decrease. A lawbreaker is spoken
of as a nuisance to the community"
The moral standard of our community
has been raised. This Is IN g of
Christian philanthropy, ar G of hui
man brotherhood. No man can live
to himself nowadays. we must all live
together and for each other. The pro-
gram at the churches mex Sabbath
evening will give the people of Brook
ings and vicinity a chance to join the
students of the public schools and col
lege in united effort and united action
to draw closer the ties of human SYM
