Some Other Things Needed to Make
Your School Better.
We were talking with a country
teacher about these things the other
day and he heartily approved our
ideas. There are three WAYS of
getting students to work." he said
and they are by the use OF person
ality, rewards, and force. In my
opinion the efficient teacher will not
consider force. Then while person
anty is important, many teachers
lack it. They can develop it, but
that takes time. And even then |
believe rewards should be used to
stimulate effort. In every boy or
girl, man or woman there is a de-
sire to excel, and this desire should
be the teachers working capital II
IA teacher can once develop a spirit
loi good-natured rivalry among the
students, success is won both for him
and them"
And then from his own experience
our teacherfriend offered to othe,
teachers the following additional
suggestions for quickening and de
veloping this desire to excel
CD Post on some sort OF schoo
bulletin board the average grades OF
your students each week.
i CD Arrange to have your loca
newspaper print each month the
names of those making a grade OF
80 or over.
| CD Post list of students who
haven't been tardy or missed a d,,
for week; for month: two
months; and so on through the
whole year. Also have your news
paper print these lists monthly.
(4 Have tripping" in YOU,
spelling classes, organize a debatins
society also, and arrange for serie.
or spelling matches and debates witt
neighboring schools. getting the pa
rents to attend.
| (5) Give out cards each month tt
,students who have been on time each
morning, who have not missed a da,
who have given good department
and who have made above a certain
standard average grade. For ex-
ample: This is to certify that
James Brown has not been absent OF
tardy during the month of October
that he has given good department
and has made an average grade OF
80"
| CO. Devote each Friday afternoon
10 recitations, songs, debates, exhib-
u.s. ETC.. giving nominal prizes to the
boys and girls who do best Invite
the patrons of the school to attend
these exercises once each month and
try TO develop their interest.

your school and get them to give
prizes. They will be glad to do so
I'm most cases.

in one case-and we blieve other

similar feelings.
The stimulating thing is not the
value OF the prize but the distinction
OF having made good record. 1t is
possible. of course. that some pupil,
who fail may be discouraged. but
we believe nearly al who have rea

SOUTH SHORE OIL

The South Shore oil boom is again
revived, and an eastern company Of
capitalists are securing ieaseson land
in the vicinity before drilling on
propects. The South Shore Republi-
can gives the following account Of
the matter.
A Watertown orlespondient says
that leases for about 5000 acres
have already been filed with the
Codington county register of deeds:
Mr.. Weaver was here some eight
years ago and madesome leases, and
with other parties whom he was not
connected in anyway, drilled down
about 600 feet and stopped, al
though they had fine symptoms for
gusher. They wereinexperienced
Mr.. Weaver believes there is oil
here in paying quantities if it can
only be brought up to the surface.
He has interested about thirty of
his fellow towns men in deal to
secure leases and thoroughly pro-
spect and determine once and for
all whether there is oil or not.
This means that they will 60 ahead
and bear all the expense Of acertain-
ing the fact. They do no, ask our
people to invest one cent in a COM
pany Of any kind b 1T they do insist,
that, before bringing on the drills,
that they no d leases on all available
lands. This is only a fair PROPOSE
ton. No man or company will put
in $50, 900 prospecting, if they do
not have the leases to insure return

JOHN MILLER SUCCUMBS.

John F. Miller died in the
Asbury hospital at Minneapolis on
the 9th inst. He had undergone
an operation about a week ago,
having been afflicted with an
abnormal growth in the stomach.
He seemed to rally for several days
after the operation, but word was
telegraphed Sunday that he was
failing, and his brothers Henry and
Frank went to Minneapolis and
arrived there few hours before he
died, about the noon hour Monday.
The deceased man was 80 years
Of age, was son Of Ernest
Miller, and was born on the Miller
no mestead about four miles east
Of town, and his home had been
there all his life. The deceased man
was married some six years ago,
his wife dying in less than a year
after the marriage. His aged
parents still survive him, and he
also leaves three brothers and two
sisters, Henry, William, Frank,
Dora and Lydia.
The funeral will be at the
Evangelical church in Alban or
Friday afternoon.

MORE CANDIDATES

Among those who are serving
their first term as county officers,
and who have published their
announcements as candidates for
seconed term are County Auditor
E. M. Harper. and clerk of courts
Earl Liggett. 1t has generally
been conceded that when a county
officer has given faithful, efficient
service for the first two years he
should be given his second te. m
without contest. Both Of these
officers have been eminently satisfac-
tory and will undoubtedly receive
denomination and rejection without
opposition.
Another new announcement is
that ofOle Olson for county treasurer
Mr.. Olson is highly spoken of by
his neighbors in Osceola township,
and as Ole P..Johnson of Stockholm
is the other candidate for treasurer,
it looks as if Ole is likely to get
the 4. nomination and sit as the
collector Of customs for the next
term-its only a question Of which

The legislative candidates are also
commencing to present themselves,
and John r. Birch and A. Weide,
both from the Aibee- -Revillo section
of the county make announcement
this week that they are candidates
for representatives. Both Of these
men have served in the Legislature
in previous years, Mr.. Birch being
the present representative. and their
records in the Office will be fan
criterian for the voter to make
choice between them. Senator c.
J Amsden also announces himself a
candidate for rejection to the senate.
