College band. Just read this:
THE band concer given at the Vol
ga opera house on Tuesday evening
of this week by the South Dakota
State College Military Band for the
benefit Of the Volga branch of the
Brookings County Red Cross, was ex-
cellent and greatly pleased the large
number of people who had assembled.
THE band was under the direction
of Lieut.. Carl Christensen with II. II.
Pickett as chief musician. The band
was assisted by Miss Mae Saltmarsh
trombonist; Miss Marion G. Carlisle,
c%ontralto; Lawrence Olson, tenor. and
Miss Iona Burrows. accompanist.
"The band numbered nearly forty
pieces and the music rendered was
both classical and popular. and every
selection was rendered with a preci.
sion and excellence that demonstrates
the excellent training the State Col.
lege provides for it's students, and the
further fact that Lieut.. Christensen
has few equals as an instructor and
director.

resolutions were adopted:
The Conference of Departments of

ing impressed with the shortage of
teachers in the state and the patriotic
duty of maintaining high standards of
instruction in all classes of schools
recognizes the vital Importance of the
teaching service and the necessity Of
teachers remaining on duty in the
schools as a patriotic service to the
cause Of democracy and would, there
fore, recommend that the above named
institutions get into communication
with their graduates that have drop
ped out of the work of teaching with
the purpose Of re-enlisting them as
volunteers in the service of the public
schools. 1t is further suggested that
these graduates and former students
holding or formerly having held di-
4, plomas or teachers certificates report
to their institution which will COM
municate with the Department of Ed
ucation with a view to having their
status established or having them re-
instated as properly qualified teachers
and putting them in touch with coun-
ty superintendent and school boards
needing the service of teachers. Each
institution is urged to impress its stu
dents to remain in training until the
courses are completed. The confer
ence would also call the attention of
the public to the opportunities offered
by the summer schools to be held in
various parts of the state for review.
