Since tie enactment of the law Civ

NO MINRAL EXHIBIT

Deadwood Telegram: The directors of
the Business Mems club have decided
that it is not feasible to attempt to
make Black Hills mineral exhibit at
the state fair this year, as has been the
custom for several years. The reason
for this is lack of funds, due to circum-
stances.
The club put up $500 for the exhibit
last year which was sent to Huron, Min
neapolis and Chicago. under an under
standing with state commissioner of i'm
migration, Deets, that it was to be re.
funded by the state. Diets failed tc
attend to this before leaving the office,
and it has not been refunded. An act
of the legislature is necessary to do this
now, and it will probably be asked OF
the next session.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO OPEN

On Monday morning, September Z,
school bells will again call those of
school-going age in this city to their
postsof duty, and under more favorable
conditions than ever before for most
successful year of school work. All the
rooms have been thoroughly cleaned
and many improvements have been
made in and about the buildings. The
most noticeable improvement is the
painting and decorating that has been
done by Will Metcalf. The high school
assembly room has been made very at
tractive for the students of this depart
ment. The janitor has contributed a
few stunts that adds to the beauty and
attractiveness of the grounds.
Superintendent Helm has been busy
the last two weeks planning courses of
study for the various departments. He
says in school work, as in, all other
places in life, there can be no standing
still; either improvement must be made
or the school will drift away from the
true standard. The demand of the age
must always have consideration in the
making of school carricula, and believ-
ing that there is more reason for mag
nifying the relation of motor to mental
activity than there has been heretofore,
there are to be some changes in the
course of study.
The Pierre public schools have always
been good. They are better now than
they have ever been. The board of ed
ucatlon which is composed of Pres. c.
M. Hollister, A. D. Hengle, N. B. Gear

DDS. Their splendid cooperation with
Superintendent Helm who, by his eff
clent services has won for the schools
an enviable reputation for the high
standard of work and the degree of ex-
cellence they have attained. 1t is not
too much to say that the youth who
goes through the regular courses pro-
vided by the Pierre schools will be fitted
to enter in the struggle for life and to
begin that higher education only to be

BOOSTING WORLDS PROGRESS,

d

accomplished more for humanity ard
the worlds progress during the wear
and half he has been secretary Of state
than any other statesman in the world
has accomplished in lifetime. The
twenty peace treaties that he has neeo-
tlated, and which have been ratified bv
the senate, is the most important move
for universal peace that has ever been
accomplished. They provide for an in
vestigation in all cases.
The contracting nations agree not to
declare war or begin war until an inyes.
tlgatlon is made by disinterested conn
mission and it has reported, but the said
commission must complete its report
within year. Then each nation can
act independently.
The man with the gun almost invar-
'ably shoots in the heat Of passion. The
same is true of nations. Had the Eu.
ropean nations entered into such treaty
they would not now be engaged ia
bloody war, and the chances are ten to
one that it would not have occurred
later. These treaties will pave the way
for an agreed disarmament.
