NORMAL TRAINING
DISCONTINUED BY
EDUCATION BOARD
Lack of State Funds Forces
Dropping of Course;
Salaries Boosted

Because of lack of appropriat-
ations, the board of education
voted last Wednesday to drop the
normal training department from
the school curriculum beginning
next fall.
The action was taken due to the
failure of the state legislature to
set aside the usual allotment for
the course, which is state supper
ted. 1t is expected that the de-
partment will be discontinued in
the majority of high schools in the
state which offer one year rural
teachers training course.
The expense of conducting the
department would now fall entire
ly upon the school district, board
members pointed out, and since
the majority of the students are
from outside school districts, they
did not feel warranted to continue
the training. Enough students are
being graduated from two year
courses at teachers colleges to fill
rural school vacancies it was
stated.
Miss M. Alice Ide, head of the
department, is expected to be re-
tanned in another capacity.
The resignation Of Miss Leona
MCGOWAN, grades principal and
third grade instructor, was accep-
ted by the board. Miss MCGOWAN
has accepted a position to teach
at Mortified. The board also set
the salaries of faculty members
for next year, granting five per
cent increases.
Continuing it's policy of main
tanning the standard of the school
on a high level, the board decided
that henceforth as far as posi-
BILE only teachers with four years
training will be employed to fill
vacancies occurring in the ele-
mentary grades. Should it be
necessary to engage instructors
who do not hold the degree, well
recommended and experienced
teachers with two years training
will be accepted. Allowance will
be made in salary to compensate
the new teachers for their extra
training, with 10 per cent high
er scale over the salary of a two
year trained instructor. This
policy, it was pointed out, is be-
ing adopted in all the better
schools in the state.

july 4 ACTIVITY
Cage Teams of Sleepy Eye
and Redwood Guests
of Association

Preliminary arrangements were
made for Redwood's second an
nual free Fourth of July celebra-
ton, another campaign for an
adequate playground and athletic
! field was launched and protest
was made on charges to be insti-
tuted by the state conservation
commission at state parks this
summer, all at one busy meeting
of the new Civic and Commerce
association following a well-at-
tended dinner at the Odd Fellows
nall Monday evening.
Rev. Godfrey O'Sullivan, past
or of St. GATHERINGS Catholic
church, gave the keynote address
of a new drive to obtain ade-
quate athletic facilities and was
supported in a series of talks by
Reede Gray and Earle Obermeyer,
superintendent and coach respec-
lively, of the Redwood Falls
schools and by Mrs. T. E. Finn,
Mrs. C. L. Lynn and Mrs. Joe
Green, mothers who were guests
of the club. y
The value of athletics as a
moral influence on growing youth
and the worth Of contacts OF all
races, nationalities and creeds in
games as a road to better under
standing and friendship were
stressed by Rev. O'Sullivan as
reasons why adequate facilities
for all kinds of sports should be
provided.
He raised as the objection to
the proposal of development of
Playground facilities for an ath-
letic plant, that the fairgrounds is
place for racing of horses and
showing of CATTLE and is not an
appropriate background for foot
ball, baseball and other games.
Every citizen of Redwood Falls
should be directly concerned with
the securing of an adequate field
as a provision for the proper de-
velopment morally and physical
ly of the youth of the city, he
concluded.
Coach Obermeyer preached the
athletic field question in thanking
the association for the dinner at
which his athletic squad and as
sistant coaches were guests. He
stated Litchfeld and Glencoe are
providing a year-rOund program
of athletics for young and old,
with proper supervision, as an
experiment and predicted that
such a program is the coming
thing where facilities are avail
able.
Redwood Falls athletic plant,
he said, should include not only
football, baseball and kittenball
accommodation but tennis courts,
horseshoe courts, practice grounds
for golf instruction, trap shoot
ing facilities, instruction in bait
casting and other training which
will be of value to the adult who
has passed the age of football and
baseball playing. He called at
tention to the consistent shorten
ing of working hours in recent
ayears and stressed the need of
providing healthful sport for the
extra leisure hours.
He spoke also of the problems

Rarely are so many sales going
on in the city at one time, the con-
dition this time having been
brought on by the late spring

openings and customary buying,
for the Easter Parade. With
severe weather and blockaded
roads reducing volumes during
February, most stores are out to
exceed March quotas and bring
totals for the year back into line.
To do so means offering bigger
inducements for quick selling.
In addition to the attraction of
extraordinary sales, several spe-
cial events are planned, one Of
which is Allis- Chalmers day at
the Redwood Falls Motor COM.

be served, starting at noon, fol-
lowed by free movies at the Red

prizes of various kinds. The
Gamble store is closing it's elev-

friends carried masses of spring
flowers to her grave.
brightly courageous, she had
lived bravely for the last two
years with the ever-present
knowledge of illness. At Sleepy
Eye where she taught this year,
she was considered the best first
grade teacher ever to have taught
under the present authority, her
achievement in pedagogy being
accomplished in the face of a
hopele-s outlook.
After graduating with the class
of 1928 from the Redwood Falls
High school in which she was
active in musical affairs and pub
lie speaking, she attended Winona
Teachers college, from which she
was graduated in 1880. She
taught the primary grades in

of a coach, particularly that of
stressing sportsmanship and the
value of clean living when the
tendency is to over estimate the
value of winning. He spoke high
ly of the character of Redwood
Falls boys, saying they-are as
good as any and better than most.
Mrs. Finn also spoke of the
need for a field and thanked the
business men who in earlier years
supported the Chautauqua and in
other ways simplified the task of
bringing up children in proper
surroundings. She added the hope
that today's mothers of younger
children will be able to say in
years to come that problems con-
corning youth received as much
attention when their children were
maturing.
Mrs. Lynn mentioned the diff
culties involved in finding vacant
lots for play in residential dis
tricts and the ultimate resort to
trespassing or playing in the
street with the resulting traffic
hazard. She urged that play
ground facilities for younger chill
dren be included with the athletic
field.
Mrs. Green mentioned the con-
dition of the football gridiron at
the Fairgrounds last year and the
fact that it does not stand COM
parison with fields provided in
even smaller towns. She said the
lack of proper facilities is notice
able to the youngsters and the
subject of some discussion be-
tween our children and those of
other towns.
Ted Ahrens, secretary of the
association who presided at the
meeting, announced the appoint
ment by X. w. Stockton, presi-
dent, of an advisory committee
