SCOTT'S TWENTY-SIXTH ANNIVERSARY IN THE SPEARFISH NORMAL I N the fall of 18911-, at the call of Dr. Cook, there came to the Normal School at Spearfish a woman who has earnestly and faithfully served the school ever since. Mrs. Kate G. Scott, Head of the Department of Mathemat- ics, needs no introduction to our readers. Those early days in the life of the Normal were strenuous ones, each teacher had to handle, if possible, all the work in her line, so at this time Mrs. Scott was the only teacher of mathematics. But by 1902, the school had so grown that an assistant was required. Mr. Mc- I Cain was the first in a line of teachers, reaching down to Miss Hesseltine, who have been closely associated with Mrs. Scott in her especial work. In 1911 the work had in- creased so that Mrs. Scott was made the recognized head of the department of which she had so long been the virtual head. KATE G. SCOTT Head of Department of Mazhenzatics Mrs. Scott is a graduate of the Western Seminary at Oxford, Ohio, and later of the University of Nebraska. She had taught ten years be- fore coming to the Normal, one year in ungraded schools, three years in the grades, and six in the high schools of Nebraska. The last three years of her high school teaching were spent in Aurora, where she was the teacher of mathematics. Words of high praise and commendation have been received from those with whom she worked in those early days. That Mrs. Scott is a wide-awake, earnest, and up-to-date teacher is shown by the fact that she was one of the first to see the need of a closer correlation between the arithmetic work done in the schools and the same work as applied in all lines of business, especially in that of the farmer. Years ago she advocated and put into practice the teaching of what is known as uRural Arithmetic and Farm Accountsf' making the work fit the needs of the men and women on the farm. The value of her inliuence as a pioneer in this work has been recognized by the men who have in charge the betterment of farm conditions in our state. All who have been associated with Mrs. Scott, either as fellow-workers or as students under her care, respect and love her for her genuine worth, both as a noble woman and as an able, faithful, efficient teacher. 25

The school which advertises to train stenographers and lnookkeepers in three to six months is completely losing sight of that broader culture essential to the efficiency, which means promotion. Preparedness is necessary to success, if commercial work is your chosen Work, stop nothing short of a thorough preparation. -l .km our ,A l -llltI'tfaF in any r. hu-:ness man, lin' lv'Lla'llCfWlll1 nhl he beneficial 1 mul. l'l1JIAlll0SS ..
