The house was most beautifully de-
corated with sweet peas and asters
and with Green. The colors were white

BITTERNESS SEES CROPS

L. A. Bitterness, assistant cashier OF
the Farmers National Bank, has just
returned from his summer vacation.
During the time he made an extended
trip in his automobile, visiting Sioux
Falls, Luverne, Rock Rapids, to the
south and east and going as far west
and north as Doland. He says that
the crop conditions in all of the terri
tory visited by him is of the best that
he can remember seeing at any time,
on the general average, most especially
the small grain. Corn is not what was
hoped for and in most places is be-
hind the season, but if we have a
continuation of good weather the crop
will be an amazingly good M In all
of his travels, eve into Iowa the sup
posedly great corn state, he says that
he did not see any better crops than he
saw between Brookings and Flandreau.
He further reports that as a general
crop the corn of South Dakota is lear
ly as far advanced as that of Iowa and
as good.

event Of so great an interest that it
becomes paramount with every one in
the city of Brookings and vicinity o n
cerned in the right kind of education
for this and succeeding generations.
The Brookings city schools open
Monday, August the 30th under more
favorable conditions than ever before
for a most successful year of school
work. The board of education has ex-
ercised great care in selecting teach
ers for the various departments and
have gotten together a teaching force
of which they are confident is the fin
est and ablest in the state. Judging
from the splendid teaching talent of
the former teachers retained and high
caliber and excellent character of the
new teachers they have secured to fill
the vacancies, it is not too much to
say that the schools this year will
have the ablest and best balanced
teaching force in the Northwest.
Superintendent Browning has been
busy the last two or three weeks plan
ming courses of study for the various
departments. He says in school work
as in all other phases of life, there can
be no standing still; either improve
ment must be made or the schools will
necessarily drift away from the true
standard.
The course of study is to be
strengthened so that the pupils who
reach an age in their development
and have a desire to do something
tangible may appreciate his rights and
know his duties as a citizen. To meet
this crying need Rights and Duties
Of American Citizenship" will be made
the basis for moral and civic instruc-
ton in all the departments. The board
of education has provided for art as a
part of the course which will add
much in c%ultivating an appreciation of
the good and beautiful. Another inno-
walton will be the organization Of a
high school band. Manual Arts and
Household Science are to be broaden
ed. There are to be some changes in
the course for the departmental school
in order to meet needs of those pupils
who are back in one or two studies.
At this time the football boys are
taking stock of their prospects for the

 There is no higher achievement in lit- erature than to delight plain people with beautiful expression of thoughts which they themselves have already entertained but could not express. For there are no men or women so rude, so lillterate or so depraved that fine thoughts and imaginings do not intrude upon them betimes. To seize and util- ize these flashes of divine ideas is be- yond the ability of the grounding, and so 1t becomes the business of the gifted to give them utterance and perpetuity So that in the end the best function of literatuare is to immortalize the thoughts, aspirations and beliefs of or dinary people so that they may gain faith in themselves, having somewhat to cling to and being sure that their hest impulses have the indorsement of the nurtured minds of their day. And it Is for this reason that the best liter ature is that which is distinguished by simplicity, sincerity and that plainness which above all other qualities Is commendable in preservative art. Books do not contain anything so precious as the songs of the people, for no matter how unliterary they seem. they arc vital and vocal of the yearning of hu- man hearts. and no amount of criti- cisms oF rhetorical analysis can rob them of their essential value
