Der Institutions.
The greatest campus problems at
present, the deans agreed, is that of
intellectual honesty. In this respect
the college is simply a cross section
of the world, they believe, with the
emotional fatigue resulting from the
great war and the general latitude in
mental processes. This is noticeable
not only among the students, but also
with the faculties, they agreed. They
go back to their institutions to urge
the necessity Of thinking clearly, ac-
curately ana honestly.
Another problem discussed was the
need for greater care in directing the
health Of the young ONE students.
More physical education is needed,
they say, and more care of the young
women physically so as to make them
emotionally stable.
Practically all the discussions cen
tered on the need for the right men
tai discipline to bring about that at
titude Of mind which makes a good
student, good character, and good
leadership.

recent conference of workers for vo-
c%ational guidance held at New York

The Deaconess hospital of this city

next Thursday, May II, by open
house from 900 a. m. until 500 p.

the people in Brookings and vicinity
to visit and inspect every department
on that day. The superintendent,
Mabel O. Woods, in extending the in

an interest in our work and know
what we are doing and see the i'm
provements made in our institution
through the kindness of interested
friends Guests are asked to regis
ter their names and receive a national

National Hospital day was estab.
lished in honor Of Florence Nightin-
gale, the pioneer OF nursing and hos.
pital work. The American Public
Health association reports 5000 hospi
tails in the United States and Canada
caring for three million patients daily
according to Miss Woods, and that
impresses upon us the value of a hos.
pital in every community.

GIVE WHOLE TRAINLOAD

A trainload of thirty cars of corn
was donated by South Dakota farmers
for the relief of the starving in Eu-
rope and the Near East. The South
Dakota Farm Bureau Federation feels
chesty over the fact it has made good
the boast that it would sponsor the
giving Of a trainload Of corn in this
state. Officers of the federation are
elated also because South Dakota will
thereby receive at least 81 1000, 900
worth Of advertising as a corn state.
Nothing more sensational could have
happened, they say, to prove that
South Dakota is in the corn belt.
Early reports from headquarters in
dictate that the South Dakota Gift Of
corn leads all other states in the ma
ton in proportion to population and
amount of corn produced. Further. ac-

BUY CARLOAD OF SEED

The Bookings Potato Growers as.
ISOLATION has purchased a carload of
Early Ohio certified seed potatoes from
Mr.. Beebe Of Hamlin county. The
Farmers Cooperative Company is
handling the potatoes for the associa-
ton free.
j. ID. Wilson, manager of the Farm
ers' Cooperative Company says: ut
Will pay every potato growers to get
enough Of this good seed for at least
an acre seed plot. The cost of the
seed does not amount to anything COM
pared to the value that will be re-
ceived. The potato buyers are all de,
handing a better product than we
have been shipping from Bookings
h is a very important move by
the potato growers to improve the
quality of the potato crop grown in
Brookings county. There will be over
1000 bushels of certified Early Ohio
seed potatoes planted in the county
this year. The yield of this seed in
two years, under average conditions,
will be sufficient to furnish all the
seed potatoes planted annually in
Brookings county.
