The Pope heelock
Manufacturing Co.

One OF the busy places in the city
is the Pope-Wheelock manufacturing
plant, located south of the Stokes
mill property, on the Chicago &
Northwestern lire of road.
One never passes this place during
the working hours of the day when
the machinery inside the building is
not running, with a vim and hum
that command attention.
Fo years the Gullick Spark Arrest
er a e a well known s~afefy-da=
vice for threshing machine engines
and it is still holding its own in pop
ular estimation, judging from the
number which the Pope-Wheelock
Manufacturing Co. is putting oat.
Another speciality is the Pope adj
Unstable inside tube cutter, which has
been on the market for some time and
which has become a necessity in many
institutions.
The Russell Automatic Gas machine
SIS another of this company's manufac
lures that is said to be winning its
way to popular favor. It is a cold
process" of manufacturing gas from
gasoline, for either cooking or light
ing purposes.
Just al present the company Is
rushing some orders for the acetylene
gas headlight, adapted especially for
traction engines, used to some extent
on automobiles, launches, etc. It
throws a powerful light. The mech
anism is mounted on a pivoted brack-
Let, giving the engineer Or chauffeur
the power to turn the headlight to
either the right or the left or even
to face it to the rear, if desired.
Another simple but popular contriv-
ance is the Gregory Automatic Belt
Guide. One of the big manufactur-
ing concerns of the country has re-
|cently purchased a considerable mum
Der of this piece of mechanism.
These constitute but a few of the
many articles manufactured by this
local company, among which are
threshing s%pecialties of all kinds.
Sheet metal work also forms a fea-
ture CT this plant. Tanks of all de-
scriptions. including water tanks for
farm purposes, troughs, metal shin
giles, etc, ETC., are turned out,

Auditorium Suggestion
From Nearby Towns

Former Governor G. N. Herreid, in
the Aberdeen News, calls attention
of the people of Aberdeen to an edit
orial taken from a Sioux Falls paper
concerning an auditorium. 1t is re-
produced here for the benefit OF the
people of this city:
Sioux Falls needs an auditorium
but it is not necessary to put $l50,O0O
To 500, eco into one. a coliseum Dis
enough to accommodate 5000 to 1000
people could be built on the city's lot
at Main avenue and Fifth street for
not over $50, 900 and it would answer
the purpose as we'll as a building to
cost five times that amount. The
building should be of n story, with
easy entrances from the street, well
lighted and heated, but with no waste
along architectural lines. Such a
building can be put up this year inc
should be. The effort to do thinks
fine might conceivably result in the
defeat Of the whole project. We need
a big auditorium much more than we
need a beautiful one"
The former governor concludes as
follows: "'This is precisely what we
need and ought to do. To spend
$4,000 for a building to accommo-
date only 1000 people is folly.

The News Reply.

The communication of J. NJ. Miles,
of Redfield, relative to the graded
schools, appearing in the News today,
is interesting and to the point. Mr..
Miles objects, quite s~trenuously and
with a considerable degree of logic,
ito criticism-he calls it knocking
of the public school system of the
country. The news believes Mr.. Miles
will agree that whether the present
system is knocked" or merely criti-
cized, that most Americans are very
sincerely interested in the progress
of the schools, and anxious to see
that the pupils receive the very best
possible instruction and make the
very best possible progress. The
News knows, from its experience in
trying OUT three young men all at
one time, as reporters, that the pres
ent system, even in schools SO excel
lent as the Aberdeen schools are,
LEAVES much to be desired. Those
three young men, two of them grad
yates of the Aberdeen high school,
land another a graduate OF another
high school, certainly had not been
taught to spell correctly, or to write
good English, and they had not ac-
IQulftu d WOIhluS hilO IC0SS VI Gwen
the somewhat limited vocabulary
necessary in reporting current events
~transpiring in the city of Aberdeen,
while their knowledge of punctuation
and capitalization was almost mill. The
News agrees with Mr.. Miles in doubt
ing the wisdom of abolishing the
grade system, rs the Minneapolis
Journal suggests. But it knows from
sad experience that the public school
pupils are not being thoroughly drilled
in such essentials as spelling, writing
and the correct use of the English
language.
And this isn't knock" as Mr..
Miles may think, but merely a state
ment of fact that any person having
occasion to employ an average high
school graduate from an average
high school is in a position to verify.
Now everyone knows that the corps
Of instructors in the Aberdeen schools
are conscientious in their work, and
that they all h~ave@spent much time
and money in preparing for their pro-
fession as educators. But something
is wrong Are the schools trying to
teach too many different subjects, or
does the trouble lie in the fact that
the pupils endeavor to gain an educa-
ton during two and three-fourths
hours in the forenoon and about two
and a half hours in the afternoon,
without devoting much, if any, time

u Knocking Public Schools
Defends the Grades.

Editor Aberdeen News:
It is getting to be quite the popular
thing to take a fling new and then at
our public schools. The Minneapolis
Journal INDUCED in that pastime a
few days ago., and in your issue of
yesterday you copy with your appar
|ent approval, an attack on the graded
system in such schools. The criticism
seems to be that in the grades you
must teach all pupils ssalike, regard
less of bents." This sounds SO wise
and hhiiiaii that most people accept the
position as sound beyond question.
But what is taught in the grades in
our public schools that every boy and
girl in this=@neaatry does not absolute
|iy need?
The fact is that every citizen of
this state needs all that is covered
by the courses in the grades. l know
some have "bents" for mathematics,
some for this and some for that, but
ia decent regard for the future vel
fare of our citizens demands that our
boys and girls have at least the rudi-
ments as taught in the grades in all
these branches. They must be able
to speak, read and write the English
Language, and to spell at least we'll
enough SO that people who read their
writing will be able to know what
they intend to spoil They must
know either from hearing good Ian
guage spoken OF from the study of
text books, what is good English Ian
guage. They must know more or less
of history, geography, physiology,
civics, in fact the whole graded course
of our public schools. Any curse
that does not provcide the coming
generation with as much as this is
not meeting the demands of the time.
This railing at u public schools
gets to irritating those who are in
the work. 1t gives those parents who
are disposed to find fault with schools
because their children are not doing
good work, some ground on which
to base their complaints. But the
good of those very children demands
that they be kept at the work till
they have a fair working knowledge
of everything now taught IN our we'll
graded schools.
1t would serve a better purpose to
.tsop this eternal Knocking the
schools, and get to work and devise
some way of getting the great mass
of pupils to do better work in the
grades of our schools.
Yours truly,
j. M. Miles,
Redfield, S. D., March 9.

Sympathetic labor journals have
had a good deal to say concerning
this committee, charging that it was
composed of the tools and hirelings of
lumber barOns, bankers, manufactur-
ers' associations, etc. The charge is
so ridiculous that it need hardly be
referred to, but it might not be map
propriate to state that 80 per cent of
the membership of the committee
(and which is absolutely under the
control of the sheriff of the county,
is made up of what might be called
laboring people, men who earn their
sustenance by the sweat of their
brow"
The above is some more endeavor
to shift the responsibility from the
shoulders of the men who caused
these unhappy occurrences. But it
won't work. The lumbermen had one
hundred or more votes in the Com
mercial Club and as low a number as
ten of them could control the organ
ization. This is what has been told to
many people. The ninety per cent of
the membership of the committee"
were either misled by inflammatory
speeches in the Commercial Club or
coerced by their employers, or both.
