THE SPREAD OF ANTHRAX.
Thousands of Cattle Have Died In
South Dakota.
Sioux Falls. S. D. , Aug. 19. Special
to The News : Reports from the lo
calities in Clay and Yankton counties
which are affected by anthrax are to
the effect that there la Httlo change
In the situation. Thus far thousands
of head of cattle have died In the
region where the disease Is rampant
jn the herds , and the aggregate losses
to farmers will amount to mnny thou
sands of dollars.
Dr. T. H. Hicks , State veterinarian ,
is on the ground in person and is di
recting x'ae work of preventing the
spread of the > ilae * e. He Is visiting
all localities where u .i ml the
disease mny hnve extended i , 'r
order to ndopt prompt mensures If the
dlsense nppenrs in additional cattle
herds. All the veterinary surgeons
residing in the district nnd In adjacent
territory are actively engaged In the
work of vaccinating stock In the hope
that the deadly scourge may be
stnmped out.
Dr. Hicks reports thnt In many In
stances farmers who have lost cattle
by anthrax have permitted the car
casses to He In their fields exposed
to other cattle , and , worst of all , to
human beings. The anthrax bacillus
Is not only contagious , but Is known
to thrive In certain kinds of soil , so
that It Is very hard to effectually
stamp out the disease. There Is no
known cure for It , but as a preventive
a double vaccination Is used one to
prepare the way for the second nnd
effectual one.
During his Investigations Dr. Hicks
discovered that In some parts of Clay
county a substitute for the vaccina
tion Is bolng used , and that in a largo
per cent of cases the cattle are dying
from the effects of the medicine.
Damage suits , In which the manufac
turers of the medicine will be the de
fendants , may result from this.
So alarmed are the people in the In
fected district that the residents of
Centervllle , Wnkonda , Vermllllon nnd
otVr towns ! 'nvp prnctlrally cemd
eating meat. Humors have come from
some parts of Hutchlnson county that
anthrax has appeared there , but as
yet these reports have not been con
firmed.
Hutchlnson adjoins Yankton county
and IB filled with herds of cattle ,
among which the disease would play
grent havoc.

INVITES OUTSIDE PUPILS TO NOR
FOLK HIGH SCHOOL.
NORMAL TRAINING EMPHASIZED
Advantages Offered by the Norfolk
High School , Occupying Its New
Building , Pointed Out In Advertise
ment In Weekly Papers ,
The doors of the splendid new high
school building Ln this city are opened
this year by the free tuition act of the
last legislature to the pupils of every
school district where a complete
twelve year high school course Is not
maintained. Adding u normal trainIng -
Ing course , the Norfolk school board
has entered a campaign to popularize
this new department.
Every weekly newspaper in the
county outside of Madison , where a
twelve year course Is maintained , will
this week carry an Invitation to pros
pective teachers nnd to ambitious
young people who would carry their
education farlher than the local school
facilities permit. Advertising for
pupils Is In short t'.ie course which
has been adopted by the Norfolk
board.
Will Co-Operate Wltn Other Schools.
In this new policy the Norfolk
school authorities expect the cooperation
tion of the other sciiols of this coun
ty. The Norfolk schools will not by
the new plan take any pupils away
from any of the several schools but
will give nn opportunity to graduates
of the ten nnd eleven year high schools
to complete their high school educa
tlon receiving at the same time , if
they desire , the benefits of normal
training. This should give an Incen
tive to many pupils in the smaller
schools.
Another class of pupils to whom
the present high school facilities of
the Norfolk schools will appeal are
the numerous eighth grade graduates
in the distrlcl schools who If they
would study farther must attend one
of the high schools of the county.
The "ad" of the Norfolk hoard ,
which will nppenr this week In the
Newman Grove , Battle Creek , Tllden
and Meadow Grove newspapers , Is
self-explanatory :
The board of education of Norfolk
takes pleasure In calling the atlcntlon
of the school patrons and of the young
people In this section of the state to
the splendid high school equipment
which Norfolk presents to the young
people of this vicinity as a special
educatlonnl opporlunlly. The fine new
high school building has been com-
pleled and Is ready for use with the
opening of school. No building betler
planned , more convenient , or better
adapted to efficient high school work
can be found in this section of the
stale.
The assembly room is perfectly ar
ranged and lighted , and will seat at
full capacity about 300 students. The
class rooms are well equipped and
well lighted. The laboratories are be
ing equipped with up-to-date and ef
fective apparatus , so that the very
best type of investigation and scien
tific work may be done. An up-to-dale
and exrtemely UFible reference library
IB being added. . Besides Ibis the high
school studenls have access lo the
city library "f some 1,00' ' ) volumes ,
which is b'lng added to with the
growing nrrds of the high school
especially In view.
The courses of study have been re
vised and the new normal training
course has been introduced. This
consists of a nine week review In the
eleventh and twelfth grades of each
of the following subjects : Reading ,
grammar , nrithmelic and geography.
In addition a full year of American
history and civics is to be added in
grade XII and a semester of theory
nnd art of teaching. The normal
training students are required to ob
serve the teaching of the various sub
jects in the various grades , to visit
country schools , and to do practice-
work In teaching. Upon graduation
and the passing of the proper examin
ations normal training students re
ceive first grade county certificates.
Normal training graduates mny have
their high school grades In the four
first-grade subjects nnd all certificate
subjects in which university credit is
given accepted by the state depart
ment for a first grade certificate with
out further examination.
The normal training course 'Is as
follows :
Grade XI.
First semester
Geometery.
Cicero or German.
Physics.
Reading nine weeks1 and grammar
nine weeks.
Second semester
Geometery.
Cicero or German.

Grade XII.

Chemistry.
American hlslory and civics.
English.
Arithm'etlc nine weeks and geography
graphy nine weeks.
Second semester
Chemistry.
American history and civics.
English.
Theory and art.
Prospective teachers cannot afford
to miss this opportunity. In this day
of progress the third grade and even
the second grade certificate do not
count for as much aa formerly. It Is
the teacher holding the first grade
"with honor" certificate who is lit
demand. It IB almost the universal
testimony of county superintendents

ttachcrs Many boards appeal to the
county superintendent with the ro-
mnrk. "Itocommond someone who IB
well equipped and will give us n first
class school nnd we will pay any price
she asks. "
With the new free high school law ,
n four year high school education Is
within reach of practically everyone.
The ambitious pupil mny m-curo for
Instance an eighth , ninth , tenth or
even nn eleventh grnilo education In
his own district. He can then go to
the four year normal training high
school and completely prepare for col
lege or equip hlmnelf for teaching by
completing the remaining grades , and
all this without paying one cent tui
tion.

The young man or the young woman
who begins life In this twentieth cen

a high school education begins with a
handicap usually never to be over

which are brought to the very door.
