ASSOCIATED SCHOOL BOARDS

L. A. Fell, president of the Asso-
ciated School Boards of South Dakota,
is sending out the following announce.
ment:
The thirty-seventh annual session
of the South Dakota Educational AS
sociation will be held at Mitchell, No
vember "a, 25 and &c
The Associated School Boards, de-
partment Of the S. D. E. A., will hold
it's annual session on Tuesday and
Wednesday, Nov. 26 and %, at the
same place.
All board members, secretaries,
treasurers, rural district members, and
others interested in educational prob
lens are invited to meet with us Let
us cooperate for mutual benefit. We
need your advice and we think you will
profit from our experiences
The Associated School Boards was
instituted to help you. Those educa-
tional workers who attend our sessions
readily acknowledge helpfulness, en-
couragement, and inspiration. But, un-
fortunately, too large proportion of
board members seem Indifferent TO

this, their own department. Frankly,
we are tempted to say that we feel
we have a right to demand better sup
port by those for whom it was ex-
pressly created. Indifference will kill
our enthusiasm. Shall we not rather
cooperate to make this the leading
department of the S. D. e. A?
Will you not send at least one dele
gate to this meeting this year, pay
ing his expenses from the general
funds? You can spend no money to
greater profit for your schools.
Learn what is new, what is worthy,
what is needed, what is timely, what
is approved by your fellow-workers;
Then give it all back to your home
school. Thus keep your local school
in the front rank Of growth Men Of
prominence will discuss live topics
just the things you want to know.
Come to Mitchell and help us make
our department bigger, better, and
more helpful. See program of good
things provided for your pleasure and
your profit.
Can you resist this appeal and will
you permit some slight excuse to keep
you away? If some sacrifice must be
made, we promise you will not be sor-
ry if you attend this Mitchell session.

FOR THE BLIND BABY

UP to within few years ago par
ents of blind babies, especially if they
were poor, kept the fact as quiet as
possible, fearing that the little one
might be criticised unduly, or, perhaps
sent to some institution for backward
or feeble-minded children. because
there was no other place for it.
South Dakota now provides for the
care of the young and backward blind
from the day of blindness (even if
that be at birth), in the International
Sunshine Society blind babies home,
Summit, n. J. But the institution
aims to graduate it's little ones at the
age of s, if possible, to the state school
at Gary.
The bill in behalf of the baby blind,
approved March 10, 1907, provides for
children in the South Dakota school
or "any other institution that can give
them the proper care and education,
with transportation to and from the
school," The state school is not pre-
pared to take babies, or very young
or backward children, therefore they
can be sent to Summit, N j., until old
enough to enter the Gary school.

The sorghum crop grown for sirup,
is placed at S9,700,000 gallons. One
year ago this crop was placed at
29,750.00O gallons.
A brief summary Of weather condi
tons for the month of October as sub,
mitted by the sectional weather bu'
reau at Huron follows:
The average temperature for Octo
ber was much below normal, but the
deficiency was not uniform. 1t was
greatest in the western part of the
state, especially in the southwestern
part. and least in the central eastern
counties. In the southwestern part
the average temperature was the low
est on record. In the early days OF
the month, warm weather prevailed.
During the middle portion, it was only
moderately cold but in the latter part
the weather was severely cold, espe
cially from the 25th to 2Sth. During
these days the coldest weather or
record in October, occurred over the
greater part of the state.
The average precipitation was some
what in excess of normal. Over the
eastern half ii averaged about nor
NAL though there was great variation
! in local amounts. In the western part
there was a considerable excess, espet
cially in the Black Hills and surround
! ing territory. There was unusually
heavy snowfalls in the western part
where generally. the heaviest October
snow fall on record occurred. Con
siderable snow remained on the ground
at the close Of the month in the north
western part and in the Black Hills
but elsewhere it had largely disap-
peared."
