TO TEACH AGRICULTURE
IN TWO INSTITUTIONS

Pierre. s.. D.. Feb. AT the meet
ing of the state board OF education. pop
ularly known as the vocational board,
at the capitol here, it was decided. be-
cause of federal rulings on the Smith
Hughes bill for federal aid to states for
vocational training, to have teachers
trained in agriculture at the state coli
lege at Bookings. and in home
les both at this school and at the uni
versity at Vcrmilion.
The four normals Of the state cannot
receive this federal aid for training
teachers in these vocational branches,
under the ruling Of Washington fed
eral vocational board, because they do
not Offer sufficient years of study in
in them past the high school training.
A school. to be able to avail itself Of
h federal aid. must give a four-year
training in the subject. beyond the high
school. and in South Dakota state
schools this applies only to the univer-
stty n agricultural college.

The defendants, in their argument,

court held that a deed to deceased In

proved by the secretary of the interior,

equitable to the lands described and is
as effective for that purpose as though
the purchaser had received a patent
direct from the United States govern

Whereupon, Judge Trip decided the
issues for defendants and dismissed the
petition of the complainant.

ACCEPT FEDERAL AID
IN S. DAKOTA SCHOOLS

Pierre. s. d.. Jan. 30.-The state vc-
sational board. appointed by Governor
Norbeck. under the provisions OF chap
ter 221 enacted by the last legislature
to enable South Dakota to take advan-
tage of the fedora! aid for vocational
training, Is holding it's semi-annual
meeting at the capitol. The federal bill
for this training is known popularity
as the Smith Hughes bill and is an act
providing federal aid to cooperate with
the states in paying the salaries of
teachers, supervisors and directors of
agricultural subjects and in the prep
aration of teachers OF agricultural.
trade, Industrial and home economics
subjects. The plan of the federal aid
bill embodied in the three following
points:
First. for Il certain amount of money
aprortioned on the basis of the entire
school population, which found is to be-
used in connection with a like fund
provided by the state for the training
of teachers in agriculture, mechanic
n domestic arts.
Second, II certain fund. based upon
the rural chool population. to be used
in connection with Il like sum provided
by the people OF the state for inst-uc-
ton in agriculture in the rural schools.
Third. a certain sum based upon the
urban school population to be used i'm
connection with Il like sum provided
W IHc pQpiiC IOF instruction IN me-
chanic and domestic arts in urban
schools.
The last legislature accepted the,
benefits of the Smith Hughes bill, but
made no appropriation for the pur-
pose. 1t is proposed to take advantage
OF the First provision by ~segregating q
portion of the regular maintenance
of some or all of the state educa-
tinilal institutions to use in connection
with the Smith Hughes fund specific
caily for the training OF teachers in ag-
ri%culture. mechanic and domestic arts.
Any community can take advantage Of
the benefits of the Smith Hughes bill
ny providing local funds to match with
the apportionment Of federal money.
1t is understood that at this time
the regents of education are undeterm-
lned whether to provide for the teach
er training under the first provision
or the Smith-Hughes bill at the state
agricultural college, or to distribute it
to The four orma schools.
