COMPROMISE REJECTED.

Land Rejected.

Washington, June 23.-The Acting
Secretary of the Interior to-day decid-
ed to promulgate the order OF June
18th, denying the application of the
State OF Idaho for the segregation of
land under the Carey act. The order
of the above date would have been
issued at that time had not a request
come in from the board OF irrigation
for delay pending the arrival OF a
compromise proposition. This so-called
has been received at the Interior de-
partment, but Its contents cannot be
learned. The officials, always reticent
decline 20 give any information on the
subject except 10 say that the PROPOSE
tion is not acceptable, and that there
fore their order denying the applica-
tion for land win be allowed to stand.
This action, it is supposed, viii settle
this long-pending controversy Salt

the State of Idaho, has given notice
that the State win take an appeal from

from the State, but does not make pub
bile what these instructions are.
Blackfoot news. (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1891-1902, 1896-06-27

The commencement season is upon
us, and as the reports from various in
stitutions are read the inquiry becomes
very natural: "What is q college good
for?" In a recent issue OF the Ladies'
Home journal the celebrated DIR. Park
hurst has this TO say about collegiate
education: 1T is not entirely safe
TO claim that every kind OF sue
cess, even OF legitimate success, win be
promoted by college training. If /
had boy for whom 1t was my supreme
ambition that he should become rich,
should not send him TO college. So far
from helping his prospects in that
direction it would probably damage
them. Money making is trick. The
easy acquisition of 1t is knack. 1t in
wolves the condensation of interest and
faculty along particular line. and that
a narrow line. There is nothing to him
der very small man from being very
wealthy one. Shrewdness does not i'm
ply -mindedness. | might say with
a good deal OF assurance that Ii implies
the contrary. And shrewdness has
more than anything else to do with the
acquisition OF gain. .. There are
great many things which can be best
done by the man who does not know too
much, or, al least, by the man whose
intelligence is concentrated at single
point or along a certain line. The
mechanic who has come to be known
among us as the Wizard would, per-
haps. have been more of man If he
had gone to Harvard, but it would prob
ably have spoiled him as a wizard.
Genius is presumably always species
OF mania and liable, therefore, to be-
come something very ordinary IL sue
cessfully subjected TO the processes Of
the asylum. They had better be kept
away from college IL the design is to
make them experts. College will be
able to give them a character of all
roundness, but knife cannot be round
and sharp at the same time: neither
can boy. ...... If we are going to do
large intellect work, the prime condi-
tion is the possession of an intellect
trained and stocked in the same general
and comprehensive way. College train
ing is simply the process of intellectu-
ally getting ready, not getting ready
for this, that, or the other specific
mental service, but simply getting
ready planting down broad founda-
tion of preliminary big enough to sup
port any breadth or height of super
structure that there may be need or OPP
portunity TO put upon it. The college
course and the requisite preparatory
training costs about seven years of the
best and most possible periods of
mans life. But If young man hopes
do large, solid work in the world, a
work in which intelligence of broad
kind is to play any considerable part,
and there is no antecedent obstacle in
the way, he makes an irreversible mis-
take If he considers seven years too
much TO pay for liberal education
