Not an Arid State

Sioux City Tribune: While the
state of South Dakota ranks high in
an agricultural way. and for many
years has led all the states of the
union in per capita production of
new wealth from all sources, it has
been the victim OF many unjust esti-
mates on the moisture question, due
to lack of information and snap
Judgment. Citizens of the reliable
agricultural dist, lets of that state
resent these offhand classlications,
and with reason.
South Dakota often clamors for
rain during the crop season; so do
Iowa, Illinois and other agricultural
states. Those who rate conditions
in the settled farming district of
South Dakota today with the crisis
and the fluctuations of the home
ste aiding period are as illogical as
one would be in CHASING Iowa of to-
day as a region devastated by the
grasshopper pest, just because such
a condition existed 40 years ago.
There are periods and areas of
drought damage in Illinois, Iowa
and other states, but these breaks
in the program are not taktn very
seriously by the residents of these
states. which is the proper and cour.
ageous view. So South Dakotans
view the periods and areas of short
moisture in that state, and they OBJ
ject to careless and uniformed per.
sons referring to the situation from
an unfair or prejudiced standpoint.
Illinois touts itself rather highly
in agricultural matters yet there
are sections of that state which have
suffered seriously from drought dur,
ing the season of 1911 to 1914, in.
elusive, and which today are clam.
oring for rain to save their grain
and hay crops. Yet no one thinks
of referring to Illinois as a drought
stricken state.

THE TEACHER
AND WHAT SHE IS
County Institute In Session In
Miller This Week

One hundred school marms-more
or less are in possession of the city
this week, attending the annual
teachers institute. under direction
of Miss Jessie Moncur, County Sup
erintendent of Schools. Their e s
sions are held each morning at the
city school building. where these un-
crowned queens will labor for a week
in perfecting their methods of max
ing future men and women.
Some writer calls attention to the
needs of the teacher of today.
She must teach the three Rs as of
old, but many more things unknown
to those days.
She must know more, do more, be
more, and endure more tran any
other bread winner. She must know
everything in heaven above. the
earth beneath, the waters under the
earth. She receives no special credit
for knowing them. but woe be to
her if she knows them not.
She must teach physiology with all
the skill of a physician, but without
his opportunity for hiding his mis-
takes.
She must teach civics with all the
learning of lawyer, but without his
library.
She must teach virtue and godli-
ness with all the zeal of a minister,
but without his Bible or his sectar-
ian bias.
Under the title of Nature Lessons
she must teach the elements of all
the science known to men, and often
too, without a text book.
She must teach music, drawing,
penmanshio and physical culture
with the ability of a specialist, but
must give the supervisor all the
credit for success attained.
She must put old heads on Young
shoulders, give maturity of judg-
ment to infant minds, cover the
ground outlined in the course of
study, regardless of the age or ca
pacity of the children and have them
pass their examinations without
worriment to them, annoyance to the
parents. or concern to the officers.
She must contribute of her time
and money to charitable enterprises.
church suppers, Sunday school soci-
ables. reading clubs, sewing circles
mothers meetings, literary societies
and to ben parties of every descrip-
ton. She must visit her pupils IN
their homes, kiss the babies, praise
the children, hatter the mothers and
be kind to the husbands without
arousing the jealousy of their wives.
She must be all things to all women
and some men. Or she need not ex-
pect to retain her position.
She must be little less than angel
and more than woman to endure the
foul air, the nerve racking confusion,
