remark that it is danger signal in
our economical life which needs care
| full attention.
Anna Kreycik, of Wysuph, No. FL.
reports that there Is some vandalism
going on at her schol house on Sat-
urdays and Sundays. Culprits who
break into school houses and destroy
property should bear In mind that
the strong arm Of the law is likely
to gather them into its clutches, and
then their little tricks will not look
half so funny.
There were nineteen applicants
for teachers certificates at the ex-
animation last week We are sorry
to report that two Of the applicants
were dismissed from the room on
account of dishonorable conduct.
Cheating is the palmer term to use.
A teacher who will resort to unfair
means to secure her certificate is
not fit person to teach school in
South Dakota or in any other state
for that mater.
Albert Stewart, of Lake Point, No.
les, was in the office Saturday and
is entitled to first honors for secur-
| ing the Reading Circle Book. Others
who took out books on Saturday,
were Jane Tierney. Pearl Dahlstrom,
Joseph M. Waldner, Emma Stark,
vivian Brown, F. L. Steele and Mar
tina Benesh. These teachers will be
in line early for the first meeting of
the District Institutes that win soon
be on the program.
Last year an agent left set of
Standard Reference Work at the
county superintendent's Office for i'm
spection for teachers and school dis
trict officers, The work is in six
volumns and sold for $21,00. The
company has written to us and asked
us to call teachers and school offic-
ers' attention to the set in the office
and to the fact that 1t may be had at
half price. Here is an excellent OPP
portunity for some school to get a
good set Of books for the library at
very reasonable figure.
The county superintendent is in
deed gratified with the results of
the state fair exhibit. Vauk school
number SO was the only rural school
to send in an exhibit. but the work
was of a high order and received a
first premium. We have not heard
from the Scotland schools as yet con-
corning the premiums received. We
feel confident that the returns will
be as gratifying as those from Spring
field and TyndaIl. Tyndall took the
first prize in the collective exhibit
for South Dakota. Springfield re-
ceived first prize for evidence Of Inn
provement of school grounds. And
here we pause to remark that we
believe Springfield has the best play
grounds of any town on city in the
state Most of the apparatus for the
playground was made by the children
n the regular manuel training work
and the material was furnished by
the district. Tyndall took all three
prizes in the illustrated booklet on
farm machinery. The county sup
erintendent has an idea that there
must have been a boy in the class
whose father is a hardware man.
Tyndall took second prize on Illus
trated Booklets of Farm Products,
so that we feel sure the children are
being taught something about farm
life too. Time and space forbids a
lengthy comment upon the exhibit
work of our schools We want to ex-
pres our appreciation to the teachers
who aided in making the work sue
cess, and especially to Mr.. House
who gave us his assistance in mount
ing the exhibit in an attractive man
ner. The check has arrived from
Huron and we will distribute the
cash to the schools this week.
