The housing problem in the city
is still serious one. There are as
many calls for dwelling houses as
there were early in the spring. AL
though fifteen to twenty houses are
in process OF construction ii does not
relieve the situation to any extent at
present. II is common opinion that
Brookings Is going to make rapid
growth in the near future, but how
is this to come about unless there
are enough houses to accommodate
the people who wish To move here
and make this their home There can
be no expansion without buildings be-
ing erected. If man buys house
to live in and the former occupant
has to go some place else to find a
home we do not gain in population
to any great extent. Rents are go
ing up every year and may soon be-
come prohibitive. That will retard
growth In population. The very fact
that land values are increasing every
year In this vicinity. due to the growth
of the city, ought to appeal to the
individuals who are making money in
the dealing In lands and inspire them
to put some of their new made wealth
into permanent improvements. To
help the city to grow we must have
more homes and the more homes we
have the more 1t will add to land
values in the surrounding country. A
share OF ones land profits, invested
in city improvements, II one wishes
to remain in the business. will keep
things moving in the right direction
and insure more profits in the future.
There is no use TO wait for lower
prices in building material for any
slack in that line will most likely be
taken up by the increased cost of la
Dor. We have reached a new price
level and-it is likely to be the same
for an indefinite period. The ones
wha adjust themselves to the new con
,iitioas are the ones who will be the
gamers in the long run. Let us ell
boost for a larger Brookings.

NEWSPAPERS RECOGNIZED

The executive staff of the War Loan
Organization of the Ninth Reserve
District have recognized the big help
that the newspaper of the district did
In putting over the many loans made
by the government. In a letter to
the Register signed by A. X, Rogers,
chairman and NJ f. Harrison drec-
tor OF publicity, this paper is compli-
mented In it's efforts along this line.
The Register feels no undue pride in
this acknowledgment, but is glad
that those who are in position to
know, do feel that we have contrib
uted our mite" Our labors have
not been to merit the praise Of men,
but rather to discharge our duty as
full fiedged, one hundred per cent
American citizens. II is however no
mark of egotism TO be glad that what
we have done is appreciated.

organization and promotion of voca-
tional work.
This healthy beginning has been
made possible by the wise selection
OF type schools for the starting of this
work, under the direction of Mr..
Brady. Upon the success which
these schools have made during the
past year and other type schools add
ed for 1890, depends the immediate
success of vocational education IN
South Dakota. No better start for
the time that the work has been go
ing. has been made by any state, and
it is hoped that this proper commend
able beginning which has been made
in vocational agriculture in South Da-
kota may be followed up and South
Dakota interest in the work, developed
to such an extent that two years from
now, an enlarged legislative program
may make possible the bringing of
this work within the range of every
high school and consolidated school
in the state.
In Nebraska for next year, it is
possible for any school to receive aid
in the teaching of vocational agricul-
tural or home economics work. One
of the best state laws ever put on the
statutes on any state was passed by
Nebraska legislature last winter
which provides that any school which
qualities for aid shall receive it Pro
vidng further that, 'three-fourths of
the salary of the vocational teacher
shall be paid from federal and state
funds Providing further that, for
the promotion Of this work 100000
is set aside for 1920 Proyiding
further that, should there not be suf-
fcient funds available for payiug
three-fourths of the salary of voca-
tional teachers of all schools qualify
ing for aid, the funds available shall
be pro-rated and the difference be-
tween three-fourths of the salary Of
the vocational teacher and funds avail
able shall be definite and valid claim
by each school against the state of
Nebraska to be reimbursed at the next
legislative session. This vocational
law passed by the recent Nebraska
legislature is the most advanced piece
of legislation of its kind ever put up
on the statute books of any state. 1t
is a concrete expression of an inter-
est which is being taken in vocational
work and its possibilities by the peo-
pie of Nebraska and making possible
the organizing of this in any high
school that is able to qualify.
South Dakota has not yet reached
this point but from such healthy
beginning under the leadership of Mr..
Brady to date, it is but fair to say that
as soon as this work can be under
stood and tried out by representative
agricultural communities in South Da-
kota, the case of Nebraska will be re-
peated again.
NO finer group of vocational men
is to be found in any state than the
men who have been in charge of the
work in the high schools approved for
the last year. These men have or
ganized themselves during the confer
ence held this week into a permanent
organization for the promotion and
better organization of vocational ag
riculture in South Dakota. Every vo-
cational teacher must be a graduate
of an A. & M. College and a recog-
nized leader in vocational work. An
unusually high standard has been

and 25, gave evidence of an interest
beyond expectation being taken in the
work The vocational work accom-
plished during the last half of the
school year is fully up to the stand
ard in every way and on a par with
the best efforts of any state anywhere
in the development of the work. Fif-
teen or sixteen schools were author
lied by the State Board for vocation
al education for next year, at the May
meeting held at Pierre, May %, at
which time the state organization and
state plans for next year were ap-
proved.
Every school of the nine carrying
work this past year has done dis
tinctive type of vocational work which
tural practices of the community in
which the school has been located.
The schools selected are representa-
tive of the various farming types to
be found in the state. While only
one school in the west end was ap-
proved, it represented the distinct
type of western South Dakota school
and a distinctive type of vocational
work. OF the nine schools approved
for the past year, four had excellent
departments, well arranged for. Four
of the others have, since being ap-
proved for vocational agricultural
work. become interested in better
housing conditions and bonds have
been voted for the building of mod
ern school buildings with adequate
and acceptable housing for vocational
work in agriculture, home making and
trades industrial work. Clear Lake
as an illustration, is building new
vocational building to be used in con-
nection with their new high school,
Brookings recently completely doub-
ling their high school capacity. Clear
Lake is a consolidated school and ap,
preciates the opportunity given 1t to
organize and develop a type of edu
cation which will function in yoca-
tional training Of the boys and girls
of its community. Brookings voted
new s175,0OO high school building with
commodious housing of vocational

the month of May, to erect S300.00(

This is but an expression of the in
terest which the schools of South Da
kota are taking in the organization
and promotion of vocational work.
Nowhere is more healthy and
constructive interest being taken or
