The Teachers Institute for
Roberts County will be held in
the High School building begin
ing on Wednesday, June l6 at 8
O'Clock a. m. and continuing un-
til Saturday, June rs at II
o'clock noon. Arrangements
have been completed for the

for one of the best Institutes
the county has had. The county
superintendent is highly pleased
over the talent he has been able
to obtain as instructors for the
ten days. Every teacher who
attends will have the opportunity
of listening to some splendid
talks besides the inspiration re-
ceived in the class room.
Hon. M. M. Ramer who is th e
conductor has spent his life in
the interest of South Dakota
schools. He began his career as
a school man at Big Stone city
over twenty years ago. After
being there for some time he
was elected city superintendent
of Milbanll schools and little
later he was called to be county
superintendent of Grant county
and served two terms. In 1905
he was appointed Superinten-
dent Of Public Instruction and
by Governor Elrod and served
until the end of the term in 1906.
Healso served as city superin-
tendent of Pierre school for
three years until he found that
his hands were tied because of
lack of support from the parents
and school board in matters that
he felt were Of vital interest to
the school. He resigned his
position at Pierre to take up the
work of editing a school paper
and handle a line of school sup
plies. He is at present a mem
Der Of the Capital Supply Co. at
Pierre and edits the Associate
Teacher" one of the leading
school journals of the North
west. His live editorials are in-
spirations to all who read them
and they portray the character
Of the man who writes them. He
never minces words but eX-
presses his opinion in clear
forceful terms. His presence
and his ability as an Instructor
will be strong factor in cor.
tributing to the success of the
institute,
The other instructors are all
people Of several years experi=
ence in educational work and
will come with a message fol
every teacher. Each one viii
have charge Of one or more as,
sembly periods and will give
talks along the line that they are
making their special work.
Teachers will need to bring al
necessary text. books and be pre-
pared to furnish any materia
that will be required for any
class work.

praise of these fourteen young
people,, who are entering a new

school that might be bettercd in
order that the future classes may
have even better advantages than

and the advance notices and pro-
grams which have been received
from the White Meyers Co. indi-
cate that the chautauqua will be
the best ever presented here.
The list of talent embraces lectu-
rers, musicians and entertainers
who rank among the highest in
their art, ond there will not be a
dull moment while the chautau.
qua is in session.
A childrens chautauqua for
the little folks, from 5 or 6 up to
Is or 16years of age, will be one
of the features, but just what
the plans will be cannot be difini-
tely ascertained until the chill
drens supervisor comes to town
a day or two before the chautau-
qua opens. The Bureau is send
ing Out an expert on play to look
after the happiness of the boys
and girls during chautauqua
week. This young lady will come
to teach the boys and girls new
games-she may plan ticket
hunt, a field meet and all sorts
of interesting times. Her work
will also include a kindergarten
chautauqua for the little tots.
These special features for boys
and girls will come, for the most
part in the torenoonsof the chau-
tauqua days. Watch the papers
for full announcements later and
plan to meet thesupervisor wher
she comes as she will tell you
all the plans.
When you have heard Robert
Parker Miles tell about his visit
with emperors, popes and kings
and many other dignitaries Of
the crowned realms. you will en-

comes on the second day. And
whenyou have been stirred blythe
rolicking music of CaStelucci' S
Italians on the first day, you will
begin to think that any one of
many numbers on the program
is worth the whole cost of the
ticket.
The sa me may be said of Dan
STAINS Opera Singers, who will
be here on the third day. The
Kilties Band on the fifth will
bring sweet music from old Scot.
land, and the Handel Choir on
sixth, will sing sweet sacred
music. These will be only a few
of the attractions complete list
of which will be published later.
1t is bad summer to go travel

States district court the petition of
Jos. s. Tall and John P. Hornish for
an allowance Of fee Of $4,000 as at
torneys for the petitioning creditors In

creditors and not the attorneys them
selves and that the fee asked for
should not exceed 800.

visement, asking for further briefs In
the matter,
