Miller High Loses To Pierre I'm Sat.
urday's Game

The Pierre football team swamped
the local boys at Pierre last Saturday
SO to O. The game was a rough one
from the start to >the finish. The Of
ficials seeming to be lax in inforce-
ment of penalties allowed a lot of un-
necessary fouling to go on.
The Pierre team outclassed the Mil
Ter boys in every department of the
game. They were strong on defense.
sitting through the Miller line at will
on every play. Their offense attack
showed plenty of skill and excellent
interference. They did not use a for
ward pass, but won on straight foot
ball.
The game stood three to 0 at the
end OF the hrst quarter with ball in
the middle of field. Miller was going
good about this time, but soon after
that gave way and Pierre put over
three touchdowns during the second
quarter. Scott, the star Miller center,
was taken out with a bad injury, due
to slipping during the first quarter.
Collins. left tackle, was taken out
shortly after that. This left the line
in bad shape and it was grin and bear
1t the rest of the game.
Redfeld Here Friday
The Redfeld football team will be
here to play on Friday. They have
lost two games so far this season, one
to Clark and one to Huron. Conse-
quently with the crippled Miller team
We should have a very interesting
game to watch on Friday. Come out
and give the boys your moral support.
They need 1t this game.
Report Cards Out Next Week
The report cards will be distributed
ON the Wednesday morning following
the six week period. The first cards
this year will be sent home on We'd
nesday. October Is. It is asked that
each parent go over these cards care
fully and sign and return them by the
following Monday. If there is any
thing that is not understood on card
please call and teachers will be very
glad TO go over work with you.
The high school card is somewhat
different than last year. A place is
given on the caro- for the average
grade of each class in school. This
gives the parent an opportunity to see
what the other pupils of the class are
doing and can see how much higher
or lower his pupils are than the class
average.
Pupils Passed On Condition
There were several pupils passed on
condition last year. These pupils will
either be given another opportunity
to make good in work now taking or
will be put back into grade they were
in last year.
The putting of pupils back is not
one that is done with any pleasure.
Or is it done only when every side of
that pupils work and ability are taken
into consideration and then only when
II is felt that the pupil will be far
better off in grade lower han where
he or she is now. A pupil who can
read just one-half as fast and as well
- the majority in the room cannot
keep up with the rest of the room and
is es a whole g poorer reading than
the average of the rom below. She
will get more out of her school work
in the grade below than where she is.
She will have an opportunity to com
pete and not be swamped. She will
enjoy her work for it is not too hard
for her to do. She will have an OPP
pOituIlttg W NC III uSot a III "
and not have to be one of lowest in
room all the time. This applies to
other subjects as well as reading.
There will no doubt during the year
be two or three pupils who will be
put ahead of their grade. This is done
with the same careful analysis of the
physical condition, ability, present
work, and honest labor beirg put forth
by the pupil in consideration. We
have several pupils in school now
who IL they would apply themselves
more would be in this group. Some
are able physically. mentally, but lack
application of honest labor on their
work, which makes il never done as
well as it could be done.
Comfy Institute Next Week
School will be closed on Thursday
and Friday, October twentieth and
tw~enty-first for institute.
