ing articles on the Scotland Academy
and Pierre CoNsge of the early days,
and Huron College into which these
two institutions were merged We

as Miss Anna Long, was n of the
early instructors in the Academy.
Those who recall the Academy days
and those who have met Mrs. French
will be especially interested in the
article.

Recollections Of Scotland Academy.
By Mrs. Calvin H. French.

Life is the great adventure. 1t
wat so to the men and women of
courage and vision who came to South
Dakota in the Eighties. They came
for their own freedom and .independ.
ence. And they were determined that
their coming should not deprive their
children of education. The academies
in New York and westward had given
inspiration and ccnsec.e.;cn &c the::
lives. DR.. h. P. Carson and others
founded the academy at Scotland. 1t
was the first open door to the boys
and girls from the schools on the
plains.

1894 that | first went up Main Street
and turned up the hill to the academy
building and dormitory. One win
dow Of my room opened toward the
town and the other on the fifteen mile
view Of the high dry plains With
homes here and there and the purple
haze at the horizon. l heard much of
the hope and f%ruitfulness Of the early
years of Prof. Stracken and Miss
Ferguson and DR.. Duguid. But we
had to meet the hard dry years of so
and '94 and '95. Many Of the boys
who faced us every morning had gone
through the terrible blizzard of 1888
and through the scorching heat Of '93
AMI '94. Probably for that reason
the short devotions at chapel and it's
swinging song meant much to them

many homes went without in order
that these young people might be
there. No one could think of those
things and not do his best. Thgre

u that with their endurance and
grit and courage augured we'll for
their lives in that new state. The
earnest classroom work was not all
the academy gave the young people.
The life in the town gave it's share.
There were parties in Scotland's
pleasant homes and nights at the
academy when Helen and Laura Will.
Hanson danced the Indian war dance,
and the skating parties IN Dakota's
magic and tonic air.
The churches were a source of
strength. Scotland had too many for.
eign denominations, but we must re-
member how far some of the people
were from their home land, and til. ir
very own church was the link which
bound them; it was their meeting
place after a week of isolation, it
was their mental and moral stimu-
lus.
The text Of the Methodist minister
Thanksgiving morning has. become a
household word. "In days Of pros
perity rejoice, but in the day of ad-
versity pause and consider" Most
Of US did pause and consider those
days, and then whistled our courage
up.
Mr. Calvin H. French in the Pres
IS t.s7;su Church threw mis- life into
that home mission work. He gave
those hard years an ideal and a glory
which lifted the daily living into lay
ing the foundation of the 9 west.
It upheld those pioneers as the Amer
lean soldiers ideals sustained them in
the mud and terror of the trenches
The high schools Of our time have
done many things the academy could
not do. also they have undone many
things the academy did exceedingly
well. A boy or girl Of fourteen to
eighteen is in . very formativeperi-
cd. The academy took their long,
long thoughts Of youth end their
dreams and ideals and purposes and
nodded them into sterling character
founded upon Christ. We cannot
have an academy in every town and
we can have high schools. The par
ents should see to it that their really
fine mental work is supplemented by
Christian inspiration and training.
Another picture comes back to me.

Scotlandsyouths just as they come to
those OF Pierre and Huron. Every
student of these three schools has put
part Of his life into the foundation Of
Huron College. It belongs to US all.

Talking Birds.

Certain birds not only are capa-
BILE of producing articulate words
and sentences. but it would appear
from many well-authenticated in
stances as IL they possess in some
measure the reasoning faculty
which enables them to apply their
acquired art of speech with peculiar
aptitude.
The raven, the jackdaw. the mag
pie and the jay may all be trained
to initiate sounds and to utter
words and even sentences distinct
"; but more familiar to most people
are the talking birds OF the parrot
tribe, which acquire the gift OF
speech in far greater perfection
than any other of their species The
voice Of the parrot is also much
more human in its tones; the raven
is too hoarse, the jay and the mag
pie are too shrill; but there are
modulations in the parrots notes
when speaking that are sometimes
absolutely uncanny in their weird
resemblance to the human voice.
This superiority is due to the con-
struction of its beak, its tongue and
head

PROBABLY the youngest bach
elor from Texas is a snappy,
black-eyed Congressman from
Valley View, Texas-Marvin Jones.
Those who know say he is
wonderful dancer, and the girls
also claim that he is a "devilish
flirt," but that does not suppress
them from snatching every oppor-
tunity to secure a dance with him.
Jones is also a lawyer, very
popular with his colleagues from
Texas, and intends to become
flicr while in Washington. 1t is
his boast that he will some day
own an airplane in which to travel
back and forth to Congress, and
the girl who has designs on him
will have to be a good flier. He
is also fond of horseback riding,
and is often seen galloping
through the bride paths in Rock
Creek Park. However, he can al
ways be found on the floor of the
House during the afternoon, and
is very popular with his constitu-
ents.

Are You on the

Child Training.


r ESTIMATE that there are
round million young men and
youths in this country now un-
consciously in the first stages of
hoboism. Check up yourself and
see IL you are in danger.
There could be enumerated at
great length a list of useless. waste
full. non-productivc, parasitic. blind
alley, or near.gambling occupations
destined, as 1 believe, soon to dump
their patrons into a big army of un-
trained job hunters and unclassifled
wanderers.
Ny young friend, I urge that you
quiz yourself on this score. Two
or three matters here give prac-
tical assurance of coming eco
nomic and vocational crisis in. the
young lives concerned. First, their
present wage Is beyond the effort
required: second, the job depends
upon the waste and profligacy Of
the classes higher up, which will
cease with hard times; third. the
young victim Of this blind alley
learning nothing that will lead to
promotion or lay the foundation for
a future business. Young man,
the Jig will soon be up.
There Is one alternative, my boy,
and that is to cut your lazy waste
full job and start where you can do
something worth while. Get into
some kind of honest business where
you can learn as you 60. and work
hard for promotion. Start with
small wages, IL necessary. Roll UP
your sleeves and put yourself into
a fghting mood.

DEATH OF THE YOUNG

dedicated to Clare Besse.)
Dear reader, have you not oft seen
The young plant, so tender, so green,
So beautiful and vigorous,
Destroyed by cutworm vigorous?
So youth in life's opening fight,
Struck down, sent to darkness or light
By deaths sure and merciless might.
Oh, the farewell is hard to make!
Oh, how hard last kiss to take!
Oh, shall we now say all is pain,
Or, shall we not search for the gain
Of being given ship-fare free
Across that great, deep, unknown sea,
Unpermitted to first explore
Quite enough of tn well-knOwn shore?
Oh, you, whose many sad tears flow
Because deaths stoln while yet young
From you, the accents of the tongue
If one whom you greatly did love,
For your comfort, but look above,
And with perfect faith and hope say
81 know that / shall see some day
My great kind Father knew'twasbest'
And thy soul indeed will find rest.
