TEACHERS ENJOY MEETING

The Brookings county teachers re-
turned last Wednesday night from
Huron where they attended the annual
meeting of the South Dakota Educa-
tional association, enthusiastic over
the success of the meeting. 1t was
the largest convention ever held in
the state, over 1000 teachers in at
tendance and $500 enrolled. All Of
the programs were intensely interest
ing and of great value to the teacher.
A number from Brookings took part
in the programs. DR.. w. f.. Johnson,
president Of State college, gave an
address on "Smith-Hughes Work in
South Dakota" Prof. Geo. McCarty
of State college, spoke on the subject,
why We Should Have Extempora-
neous Speaking Contests" Prof. M.
C. White, principal of the Brookings
high school, gave an interesting talk
on "An Experiment in Geometry in
High School"
On Wednesday evening a banquet
for all State college graduates and
former students was held at the X
P. hall. About sixty attended the BAN
uuet and renewed old college associa-
tons. Marcus Chase, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. A. B. Chase of this city, was in
charge of the banquet.
A long list Of resolutions were passed
by the association which will undoubt-
eddy have an important influence in
shaping future legislation in educa-
tional matters. A very strong resolu-
ton, which no doubt will meet popular
approval, was passed asking that coun-
ty superintendent and state superin-
tendents be taken out of politics and
the limit removed from their term of
Office.

WHY THE LINE is BUSY

Have you ever wondered why the
line was busy when you were in a
hurry to put in a telephone call? Have
you any idea how many telephone
calls Central answers per hour? The
city telephone operators last week
kept a record of telephone calls from
500 a. m. to 500 p. m. for a period
of five days and here are the results.
a total of 33,157 local calls were an
swered, an average of 6,631 per day,
This amounts to 27O local calls N
swered by each operator every hour
for II hours each day. Try answering
five telephone calls a minute some
time when you feel ambitious. But
these are just the local calls. There
were a total of 1920 calls on farm
lines, an average of 1864 per day or
155 answered by each operator per
hour. Then in addition there were 739
completed long distance calls, an av-
erage of 14S per day, or Is completed
by each operator per hour. For a lit
tie extra pastime for the telephone
office was an average of 125 informa-
ton calls answered each day. Besides
this there was an average Of 200 calls
for correct time each day. The most
of these two hundred. calls for time
in the first few hours of the morning.
People evidently forget to wind their
clocks, or are worried that the chill
dren won't get to school in time and
Central very o~bligingly performs this
service to two hundred people every
day in addition to her other manifold
duties. The number of local phone
calls shows an increase of $50 per day
over the number last year.

BREAK EVEN WITH HURON

Brookings high school broke even
which consisted of a debate last
Wednesday evening and a football
game on Thanksgiving day. The
Brookings debaters won a unanimous
football game by a close score, 8 to 8.
George Blakeslee, Keith Scarbro and
Owen Burman were the debaters who
completely ~outclassed Huron's team.
They were accompanied by their coach,
Miss Hazel ~Kleibenstein. The subject
under debate in the high school debat-
ing league this year is on the propo-
sition Of prohibiting all foreign immi-
grafton into the United States for a
period Of three years.
Huron and Brookings were evenly
matched in the football game, and it
was a battle from start to finish. The
first half of the game was in Huron's
favor but in the last half Brookings
was easily master Of the situation,
scoring one touchdown and carried the
ball down to Huron's fiveyard line
ready to score another when the whis-
tie blew, ending the game. Huron
made a touchdown and a drop kick in
the second period, but after that the
Brookings goal was not seriously
threatened. Johnson at fullback
starred for Brookings. Mcknight
scored the touchdown. The chief
strength of the local team was in the
line, which made a splendid showing
and wore down the defense of Huron
by their hard playing.

Speedy Halfback Star, Twice Picked
or All State Eleven, Chosen
to Succeed Towers.

The 1921 football season is over and
its record will always be a shining
page in State college history. Many
critics claim that the football ma
chine turned out this year by
Coaches c. A. West and Fred Enke
was the best that v represented
State college. There Is no team in
three states which has a record for
1921 which can compare with States.
The only defeat Of the season came
when the Jackrabbits bucked up
against the Big Ten university of
Wisconsin team, and gave them a real
Aght, but lost "a to 3. The rest is
a string of victories. The undisputed
championship Of North and South Da-
kota belongs to Captain Towers
eleven as well the honor of scoring
On Wisconsin, defeating the univer.
sity on their home field, and crushing
the hitherto indicated Creighton
eleven.
State scored a total of 255 points
against all opponents and was scored
against by only two institutions, the
University Of Wisconsin and the Uni
versity Of North Dakota, with a total
of 3S points.
