We notice that several schools I'D the
vicinity of Avon are preparing evening
entertainments to be given soon.
Statistics tell us that England sends
out goods every year to the amount Of
fifty dollars per capita, while she re-
ceives into her rountry goods amount

Elsie Crow of District No. Al, has re-!
Gently been awarded a forty -four month
diploma This means that thus far
luring her school life, she has forty
four months of perfect attendance.
There We're ten applicants for first
grade certificates at the examination
last week, and also one applicant for
a provisional state. We hope every one
of these applicants will be successful.
The physical organism requires rec
rention Of some sort at stated intervals,
but there is grave danger that teachers

English farmers lead all others in the
production of wheat per acre. The
German farmer IS two bushels short of
being equal, while the French farmer
falls eleven bushels below, and the
Austrian farmer comes next with
twelve below. The American farmer
falls eighteen bushels below the aver
age of his English neighbor and the
Russian fails within twenty-one bus
hels of coming up to the Englishman.
If our figures are correct for the aver
age yield, and Russia produces nine
bushels per acre, what will the others
pr duce?
Cooperation is an essential in all
progress everywhere, and nowhere
more SO than il school matters. This

Educational Movies To Be
Distributed By The University

Vermillion, March 2.-The NOV
ing picture is to be part of the
equipment of the University of
South Dakota in educational ex4
tension work in the state. Some
time ago the University made an
arrangement whereby it is to be-
come a distributing agency for the
moving pictures of an educational
character. These films dealing
with industrial and manufacturing
processes and a variety of other
subjects are furnished by the bu.
reau of Commercial Economics of
Washington, D. G., q philanthro-
pic association which has organic
ed this work on a large scale. The
educational film service has met
with great success in other states
where the pictures have been shown
in high schools and before CONNER
cial clubs, farmers associations
and other organizations.
There are now available at the
University the following:
Concrete CONSTRUCTION on the
Farm, film of 1000, feet showing
the uses of concrete in making 81
los, flooring, barns, etc.
Shad and Herring Fishing, q
film of about $40 feet.
Out of the Mud, film of 1000
feet of the Barret Manufacturing
Company. showing the uses of tar
via iii road construction.
A film of 1000 feet showing ath-.
let:c games, part of the social
activities Of the United Shoe Ma
chinery Company.
From time to time as other films
are available, announcement is to
be made by the university. The
moving pictures can be obtained
by any organization in the state,
educational or otherwise, the only
stipulation made by the University
being that they be not used for
commercial purpose and private
profit. The express charges which
are so small as to be negligible
must be borne by shose using the
films as the University has no
funds availa BILE for this purpose.
The University has also acquired
another interesting and valuable
educational extension set-a num-
ber of large charts and colored
lantern slides dealing with the fol-
lowing agricultural subjects: corn,
alfalfa, soils and crop rotation,
livestock, dairyipg, oats, poultry,
weeds, home economics and sani-
tation, flies, diversified farming in
the south and the teaching of agrl-
culture und domestic science in
the schools.
The material which has been
furnished by the agricultural ex.
tension department of the Interna.
tional Harvester Co., but which
contains no advertising features or
data is also available for such or
gaDizationg "a commercial clubs
and hugh schools and for county
agents. Accompanying the differ.
ent sets Is comprehensive refer
ence book which can be used for
talk on the subject illustrated.

CALIFORNIA;
SOLONS LIKE PAY

Sacramento, Jan 1.-THE legisla-
ture convened this morning to see
that the seven bills passed during
the special session were properly en-
rolled and engrossed-a formal mat
ter to adjourn sine die--and to draw
$40 each for an additional day.
The senate put through the Young
bill by vote OF 20 to and the as
scmbly passed the San Francisco
normal school bills by a vote OF so
to 1S late Monday.
AS predicted by Senator Luce, the
San Diego exposition bill went
through the assembly without dis
senting vote. Thus the governor
scored clean victories on all issues.
Although 1t would have been pos
sible for the legislature to have ad-
journed last night, both houses voted
to stay over until Tuesday, some OF
the Legislators confessing that the
SO for an extra day" looked good
to them. The work this morning was
cleared up in less than an hour.
Under the Young bills a voter will
not state, when he registers, the poll
tical party to which he belongs, but
will declare his party at the time OF
the primary election when he asks
for a ballot.
