HUBERT MATHEWS
WINS 0RAT0R|CAL
B~ROOKlNGS HIGH SCHOOL BOY
WINS STATE HONORS AT
VERMILLION
FOR THE SECOND CONSECUTIVE YEAR
High Honor is Won by Ability, Perse
Highly Priced by School

The ~Brookings high school track
team failed to carry Oft first honors
in the track meet at Nermillion last
Friday, but a representative of the
school won a prize that is much more
to be desired than an athletic trophy.
In the state oratoriCal contest held in
connection with the meet Hubert
Mathews of Brookings, carried off the
state championship in competition
with the pick of the state. Hubert
represented this district, which is com
posed of Bookings and n~eighboring
counties, he having won the district
contest at Watertown a short time
ago.
Hubert won the state contest last
year, and to carry off the honors again
this year is a splendid achievement,
and one that the school and the city
are exceedingly proud of.
Hubert's success is due to natural
ability, combined with good training
and hard work-elements that usually
attend any success. Some years &
a number of boys of the school fo-n-
ed a debating and eXtemporaneous
speaking society, and they have met
regularly at the homes of the mem
bers. This training brought out
Hubert's natural ability and made of
him a state champion orator.
Hubert is a fine young man, modest
and u-nassuming, and he has many
friends to rejoice with him in his sue
cess. He is the son of Prof. and Mrs.
II. B. Mathews.

FINE SHOWING FOR SCHOOLS

The Bookings public schools held
open house to the people of the city
last Friday. The work of each depart
ment of the school was in the display
in the different rooms and several
hundred people awaited themselves OF
the opportunity to see what the pupils
are doing. Our schools cost a large
amount of money, more than any other
public department, but anyone VINO
visited the buildings last Friday Will
readily say that they are worth all
they cost, and more. The exhibit as
better and larger we believe than the
excellent one of last year, and it GER
tainly reflected much credit upon Su-
perintendent Browning and his teach
ing force, as well as upon the students.
The prizes given by some Of the
business men to the girls in sewing Of
the domestic science were awarded as
follows:
Square patch, stripes, No. s, Bernice
Happier. o. o. Olson prize.
Check patch, No. II, Evadne Shuck.
Ellis-Hall Prize.
Darning, No. 5, Mary Geyer. E. II.
Beatty prize.
Fancy hemstitched towel, No. Ia,

c. d. Kendall prize.
Apron, No. 10, Viola Worden. The

The article and work was number

known to the judges, and the decision
was made wholly on the merit Of the
work. The Judging was done by the

TO DEMONSTRATE SERUM

The state live stock department has
been attempting for several days to
get a demonstration by the govern
ment in regard to the proper use of
hog cholera remedies, at some point
in the state, and representatives of
the counties of Brown, Sphinx, Dawson,
and Minnehaha have all been boosting
for such a demonstration and putting
up the reason why their particular
county is the proper one as the place
for such work. Why doesn't Brook
ings county get busy. 1t would seem
as though the college would be the
proper place for such a demonstration.
There has been delay, but Secretary
Coch of the state board has been in
formed that such a demonstration
would be made in this state within a
short time, but the date and place had
not yet been fixed. The state depart
ment has also been attempting to Sc
cure competent instructors for a series
of demonstrations, or rather short
course schools of instruction in the
different hog growing counties Of the
state, but has not yet been able to Sc
cure the men required for carrying
out this line of work, but is expecting
to make a showing before the close Of
the summer.

STATE MEET NEXT WEEK

Three hundred thirty-nine entries
have been received for the Minnesota
Dakota intercollegiate Field and Track
Meet which will be held in Huron,
May 2S and 90. Martin Delaney of
Chicago, will referee the meet in the
absence of Everett c. Brown, who is
now in Paris making arrangements
for the Olympic Games. Mr.. Delaney
was one of the coaches of the Ameri-
can athletic team at the Stockholm
Olympics and is at present athletic
director of the Chicago Athletic Club.
He has charge of several of the larg-
est athletic meets TO be held in the
west this spring and therefore the
meet at Huron will be run off in "bis
conference" style.
The 1914 meet will probably be the
fastest in the history of the confer
ence. Six record holders will return
to defend their titles, while much
promising new material from twenty
colleges will compete TO establish new
to the meet this year to defend their
former records are: George Olson, Z.
S. D., one mile; w. A. Chittick, L. n.
d.. half mile; r. S. Anderson, Ham
line. low hurdles; J. w. Crays, Ham
line, 40 yard run; Carl Gilbertson, L.
S. D., pole vault; Theodore Larson,
Hamline, discus.
A number of new schools will be
represented for the first time in this
meet: Macalster, st. Olaf, Gustavus
A%dolphus, st. Thomas, all of Mime
sofa, and Luther College of DEBORAH,
Iowa. The other entries include Ham
line, whose relay team o first place
in the mile at the Drake Relays and
second in the same event at the Penn
Relays, Carleton, who won third place
at Huron last year, University of South
Dakota who captured first honors,
North Dakota University, North Da-
kota Agricultural College, Dakota Wes-
leyan, Huron, Fargo, Yankton and
South Dakota State College who cap
tured first and second places in the
twO-mile event of the Drake Relays.
The North Dakota School of Science
and the Aberdeen Normal School as
associate members also have the right
to compete.
South Dakota State College will
send a special train to carry it's large
body of rooters and the military band
of forty pieces. Dakota Wesleyan is
also planning on sending a special,
while there is little doubt that the
Minnesota colleges will unite in secur-
ing one for their teams and rooters.
The South Dakota tennis tourna-
ment will be held on May 81 and %.
The winners are scheduled to play
the Minnesota champions on the Goth
of May to determine the interstate
championship.

A FINE RECORD

The following State College students
successfully passed the recent examin-
atoms before the state board of phar-
macy and have received certificates
as registered pharmacists: Miss Anna
Sivertson, Pierpont; Tyrell McDougall,
B%ritton; Louis Nelson, Oldham; Louis
Kadinger, Hartford; Winifred Ray,
Brookings; Roy Soule, Brookings; and
Ralph Null of Miller.
Twenty-seven applicants who have
studied in the leading pharmaceutical
colleges of the country were examined,
and the State College made a record
worthy of note, capturing second,
third, fourth, fifth, and sixth places,
with a tie for eighth. Prof. B. T.
Whitehead takes great pride in the
showing of his students. Of the nine
teen who took the examination from
other schools, only three passed, while
there were only two failures among
the State College students.
In eighteen years the pharmacy de-
partment at the college has graduated
one hundred thirty-four students,
n~inety-ive of which have taken the
state board examination. But three
of these have failed to get certificates
during that term of years. This year
there were eight students from the de.
partment and but two failed to get
certificates. This is quite remarkable
in view of the fact that nineteen other

EXHIBITION

The home economics and art de-
partments of the State College will
hold an exhibition of their work TO-
morrow (Friday, May 22) from four to
six and from seven to nine o'clock, on
the second and third floors of North
building. All townspeople, members
of the faculty and student body are
cordially invited to attend.
In the Art Department (located on
the second fioor) work done by the stu
dents during the year will be on dis
play, including drawings, paintings,
leather work, metal work, book work,
basketry, and stencil work. In the
sewing department all kinds of needle
work will be shown, including dresses
designed and made by the students,
and numerous pieces of hand work
executed by them. The equipment,
alone, of these two departments is
well worth seeing, and the added at
traction of viewing student work will
make a visit worth while.
In the Home Economics Depart
ment, located on the third floor, will
be shown the various operations in
the cooking Of simple foods, their
dietic value, and what would consti-
tute an average nutritious meal for
families varying in number. The de.
partment has recently purchased some
new furnishings and equipment which
add to it's attractiveness.
Light refreshments will be served
during the afternoon and evening ex-
hibitions by the girls in the home
economics classes.

people took the examination and but
three passed.
Prof. Whitehead, head of the depart
ment, estimates that ten per cen of
the active druggists in South Dakota
are graduates of the pharmacy depart
ment at the State College. The pres,
Pharmaceutical Association, Henry
Schneidt, '02, is a graduate of phar-
macy at the college. Seventeen grad
yates are now practicing physicians,
six are teachers of chemistry, several
are dentists, and the remainder are
active druggists.

congratulated on winning a prize as a

The afternoon was featured by a
very enjoyable program, beginning
with the presentation of a German
comedy by the German department in
the assembly room. Following this
the Grades gave a program of drills
and songs in the open, closing with
the pretty May pole dance and the
winding of the May pole. These ex-
crcises were witnessed by a large
crowd.

Since the meet here there has been
considerable discussion as to whether
Sioux Falls or Bookings had the best
track team, SO this event at NermIl'
lion was of much interest. This time
Brookings turned the tables on the
Sioux Falls bunch, beating them about
twenty yards in this event. However,
Bookings only took second honors,
as the fast Yankton team set up a new
record.
