PLANS FOR NEW BUILDING

Architect VIM. lyric, of the firm Of
lyric & Chapman, Of Minneapolis, was
here Friday and submitted plans for
the new modern high school building
contemplated for this city to the
school board.
The plans show a large auditorium,
swimming pool in connection with the
gymnasium, together with all neces-
sary class and study rooms. The idea
is to make this building a community
center. The plans in general met the
approval of the Board OF Education,
the Ministerial Association which met
with the board Friday and the Com
mercial Club officers who met with the
board on Monday evening. Some
changes have been suggested, and later
on the architect will have a complete
set of plans, specifications and eleva-
ton drawings, and the general public
will then be given an opportunity to
see them.
The community center idea is a good
one and will no doubt meet general ap-
proval.

AUTO STOLEN

A new Buick auto was stolen Mon
day night from DR.. r. r. Fisk's garage,
and up to the time Of going to press
the officers have been unable to locate
1t or the thieves.
The doctor had used the car in the
evening, and put it in the garage at
the real of his residence about IL
o'clock and locked the door with a
paddock. Some time later on the lock
was broken and the car taken. DR.. f.
w. Forsee, who lives nea the Fisk
place, heard the car go out about 2
o'clock as near as he can Judge, but
paid no attention as he thought DR..
Fisk was going on a night call. The
car was missed next morning about
eight O'Clock and the officers were mott
fed.
This is the fourth time the car was
taken. The other three times it was
brought back. DR.. Green's car was
taken a couple of weeks ago and
brought back. This was the work, per
haps, Of young joy riders, work that
may land some young fellow in the
penitentary if persisted in further.
The Monday night crime does not
look like the work of JOY riders.

TEACHERS STATE CONVENTION

The teachers state convention held
in Watertown last week was the larg
est ever held in the state, and many
topics of interest to educational cir
cles were discussed.
One of the topics endorsed was edu-
c%atiOnal clinics as of service to indi-
viduals which had created a Juror at
the opening of the convention. The
question had been raised by DR.. w. f.
Jones, professor of education at the
State University and DR.. j. G. Parsons
a practicing physician at Sioux Falls.
DR.. Parsons had attacked the general
policy of educational clinics, stating
physical examinations should be left TO
practicing physicians, and had named
DR.. Jones as the offender. Dr.. Jones
answered. That a resolution was con
templated covering this dispute was in
Dictated by DR.. Jones resignation from
the resolution committee to leave the
convention free to act.
The resolution on educational elm
les was a part Of a set of resolutions
which the resolutions committee re-
commented for adoption at the bust
ness meeting.
Another matter unanimously APP
proved was free text books and a bin
to go before the next legislature Great
ing a law on the same.
A bill to change date of county SUI
p~erintendents assuming their Office
was also unanimously approved.
Willis E. Johnson president Of the
Northern Normal at Aberdeen was
chosen president, and Sioux Falls was
selected as the place to hold the 1917
convention.
Nearly $500 teachers were present
at Waterfowl.
