and willing to pay its proportion of

made the point that the intelligence
and progress of community in this
day and age was judged to a large
extent by its good roads. In this con-
nection Mr.. Carmichael took occas-
ion to compliment the State Engineer
on the high class road construction
in Arizona during his administration.
Mr.. Carmichael stated that road
building was matter for each indi-
vidual taxpayer to decide for himself,
as in the end the bills would be foot
ed by the taxpayer, but that the propo-
sition of good roads should not be
viewed in a selfish manner. Refer

school in the State Oratorical original
Grafton contest which was held at
Huron last Friday night, won first
place which gives him the State Cham
pionship.
The parent-teacher meeting held at
the close of school last Thursday was
not only the largest but proved to be
one of the best meetings of the year.
Geo. p. SeXauer, president of the
board of education, made an excellent
talk on the duties and responsibilities
ard the important work of all who are
connected with the schools. The
board of education, the superintendent,
teachers, parents and pupils have i'm
portant parts to perform in making
our school the greatest success. A
harmonious working together of all
these factors is absolutely necessary
to the accomplishment Of the maxi
nun results. Pres. SeXauer stated
that the Brookings schools had ad-
vanced by leaps and bounds in the
last five or six years and the RESPONSE
hilities of the board of education, SUI
perintendent and teachers have in
creased accordingly.
A committee composed of Mrs. A
Alton, Mrs. +. A. Lentz and Miss
Myra r. Downs was appointed to
draw up recommendations covering
some of the important questions that
have been suggested at the meetings
during the year, and which are to
form the nucules of effective CO.
operation at the opening Of school next
fall. The committee reported the fol
which was unanimously adopt
ed:
Realizing the growing needs for
combining the social, intellectual and
moral forces of the city in creating an
atmosphere of public opinion that
shall make the schools vitalizing fac
tors in the further development of
these forces for the good of every
home and to bring into closer rela-
ton, the home and the school, that
parents and teachers may cooperate
sympathetically and intelligently in
the education of the child, your COM
mittee offers the following recon-
mendations:
1st-That we Systematically and
earnestly promote Parent-Teacher or
ganization whereby a study of educa-
tional problems may be made and that
we create and foster a spirit Of mutual
confidence and sympathy between each
other through frequent meetings of
school officials. parents and teachers.
2nd-In order to further promote the
efficiency of the work of the school in
that there may ensue a higher level of
morals and scholarship and realizing
that good sleep at the RICH hours, good
food, wholesome entertainment, right
physical habits, promptness in return
ing home from school have a very i'm
portant bearing upon the work and
conduct of children at school, we
deem it salutary to set aside certain
nights to be known as school nights"

breach of community dccoIum for
school boys and school girls to be seen

tres, at parties or visiting on these
nights. and further that the curfew be
strictly inforced on these stated nights.
Srd-In order to foster ideals of sim
pllclty, sincerity, tolerance and good
Will, wisdom must be shown in recog-
nizlng the need of social entertain
ment and recreation of boys and girls
at school. We therefore favor a wider
spirit of tolerance by setting aside
Friday and Saturday evenings by limit
ing arrangements and provisions for
entertainments, receptions, various So
cial gatherings, moving picture shows,
etc, to these stated evenings.
4th-That We may aid in putting the
best educational thought into action
we believe in encouraging clean ath-
lotics for boys and girls. a paid super
visor of play twelve months III the
year, music clubs, literary ~organiza-
items, domestic and vocational train
ing, and recommend TO the board of
education the employment of a we'll
trained school nurse for the coming
year.
5th-ln order to bring into closer
parents and teachers may cooperate
i~ntelligently, effectively and harmon
iously, we recommend frequent meet
ings of school officials, parents and
teachers during the coming school
year and further if found feasible at
the opening of school next fall, a Par
ent-Teacher Association be organized.

Mrs. A. A. Harris offered the follow
ing resolution which was unanimously
adopted:
That our children and youth may
enter upon LIES work with hands
strong, brains thinking and hearts
beating high with hope and grow into
manhood with strength of beauty and
character, and recognizing the evil
effects incident to the youth Of our
city from the cigarette and its accom-
paning influence, we indorse the &C
ton of the City Council in making it
unlawful for any person under q
years of age to smoke or use cigarets
in any form upon any public highway,
street, alley, park or other public
grounds or in any public place of bust
ness within the limits of the city Of
Brookings and we recommend and
support a strict enforcement of the
ordinance.
Mrs. Lillian Smith offered the fol-
Lowing resolution which vas unani-
mously Endorsed:
We heartily commend the girls Of
the graduating class in their action to
discourage rivalry and display in dress
by agreeing on inexpensive material
for their commencement dresses, the
cost OF which not to exceed $500.

CONFESSES CRIME, NOW
REPUDlATES ADMISSION

Albion. N. Y, Aug. 14.-District At
torney Nickerbocker, Of Orleans coun-
ty announced today that Erwin King
had repudiated the confession he made
at Little Valley, August 10, that he was
guilty of the murder Of Charles Phelps
and his housekeeper Mary Wollcott, at
West Shelby, on March %, 1915.
Charles Stielow, now is in Sing Sing
prison under sentence of death for
these murders, and was reprieved re-
Gently on the day set for his execution.
Stielow's friends believed Kings con-
fession would save the life of the con-
demned man.
Later today a warrant was issued by
Justice of the Peace, II. G. Tucker,
charging King with murder in the first
degree in connection with the Phelps
and Wollcott murders.
The justice refused to say upon
whose information the warrant was is
sued.
David A. White, Steilow's lawyer,
declared that the prisoners r~ecantation
was ridiculous, false and inspired"
He added: Il understand that King
says in his alleged statement that the
was offered $4,000 to confess the MUIR
ders. This, l am sure is false"

Abram !. EIkus Well Equipped

New York, Aug. 15.-Abram I. Elkus.
he new ambassador to Turkey, who
leaves here for his post on August II,
hopes to accomplish much work of an
educational and sociological, as well as
diplomatic, character in the land to
which he is accredited, His task is
perhaps greater than that of any of
his predecessors, since he leaves for
Constantinople in what is generally
conceded to be the most critical and
difficult period in Turkeys history.
Il cannot but believe that condi-
lions; as to residents in any country
In the civilized world will improve
said Mr.. Elkus, when asked concern
ing the future welfare of the Ar
menians and Christians in Turkey.
All religions n religious beliefs
seem to grow more tolerant Of the
others. l am told that all the colleges
Gin Turkey which are maintained by
Americans are iourishing despite the
war, the only rawback being scarcity
Of supply, which is not peculiar to
Turkey"
The new ambassador has had long
and technical experience with soci-
illogical conditions in this country,
especially in New York city and state,
and his friends are sure that his work
as chief counsel for the New York fac
tory investigating commission, when
ne drafted over 80 bills recommended
BY that commission for the improve
nent of conditions, will be of in~calcula-
pie benefit to the poverty stricken and
anime ridden people of Armenia. The
principles involved in these problems
IRE practically the same, according to
Mr., Elkus.
I do hope" he said, because Of my
interest in education and social legisla-
pom that l may be able with the ex-
Perience and knowledge that 1 possess

Turkey. The many investigations I
have made into labor conditions may
be of service there, and If they are, I
shall not hesitate to allow anyone to
wall themselves OF it,,
