South Dakota Intermediate School
By N. W. Allee
The location for this school has been selected near Elk Point, Union County. The soil is of excellent quality, and in this part of the State crops are quite certain and market facilities good. Most of the land was donated by brethren living there. Brother J. W. Beach has been appointed to superintend the work of erecting the buildings, and he, with a number of others, is on the ground. They have begun work on the first building, which will be ready for the use of the school in a few weeks. Leading citizens of the town and surrounding country are much interested in the nature of the work that is to be carried on,—that is, the teaching of agriculture and the useful mechanical trades in connection with the study of books, thus educating and training the students for useful vocations. These citizens, unsolicited, promised financial assistance. Our brethren are taking a lively interest in this enterprise. Money is being freely given to forward the work; and with the blessing of God we expect soon to see a modest institution established in this conference where our young people can receive a preparation to enter our college, or to fill some useful position in the service of the Lord. Our brethren are praying and working for the success of this school. Money may be sent to Brother J. W. Beach, Elk Point, S. D., or to Lyman D. Randall, Sioux Falls.
