Sioux Falls.-During the past year
two consultations Of district in Min
nehaha, county have taken place, At
Brandon three districts combined and
erected one two-story brick building
with a special room provided for man
ual training and domestic science
work. The other was at Humboldt.
where improvements were also made
in both instances the number OF teach
ers has been reduced and. due to the
combination, fewer grades are under
the instruction of one teacher. The
last annual report OF the county
schools shows that 1890 pupils WERE
enrolled. This includes the town and
country schools with the exception Of
Dell Rapids and Sioux Falls. The
humber OF pupils in the high schois
was 2z9, which shows a substantial
Increase. over that Of. the previous year
when the registration was CSC. The
number Of teachers employed was 1b4.i

Temperance

Conducted by the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.)

One of the prize publicity methods
of the brewery and wine interests is
to contrast the amount of drunkenness
In one of our prohibition states, usual
iy Maine, with the amount Of drunk
enness in the wine-drinking countries
Of France and Italy in an attempt to
show the superiority Of the latter In
the matter of sobriety. So far from
being correct, the statesmen of France
and Italy have long recognized intern
perance as one of the most serious
evils with which they have to contend.
In 1912 the Italian premier, Hon. Luigi
Luzzatti, introduced bill into the
Italian parliament providing measures
for the reduction of intemperance, and
presented a great mass of evidence
showing that deaths from alcoholism
In Italy are rapidly increasing, while
the general death rate Is falling. Prof.
