Tribute to a Weiser Lady.

At the recent meeting of the Idaho
State Teachers Association at Lewis
ton, the following resolution was
passed unanimously:
Resolved, That the teachers OF Idaho
in convention assembled extend their
thanks to Miss Mary Flournoy Galloway,
the retiring president of the State Teach
er's association, for the able, impartial
and graceful manner with which she has
presided over the deliberations of that
body No difficulty of parliamentary
law has been to intricate for her too solve
Instantly, and none of the asperites en-
gendered by heated debate has been able
to ruflle the serenity of her temper or dis
iurb in the least her admirable poise of
character. From the time of her deliver
ing her chaste beautiful and wise inaugur-
al address to the moment her gavel shall
fall her every act as presiding officer
vndicates the wisdom of the association
in electing her president

Was it consumption?
Probably not.

The " Golden Medical Discovery has
been said to cure consumption. It sure
ly and infallibly cures all bronchial and
throat troubles. 1t strengthens weak
lungs and cures lingering coughs. 1t is a
healer and builder of tissue It cleanses
and enriches the blood-regulates the
heart action-puts the whole body in
tune with nature
Mrs. Kerr's trouble was probably bron-
chial. 1t was painful-dangerous if let
run-dangerous in the hands of an in
competent doctor. Don't take a local
doctors word for everything. Write to
Dr. Pierce. Tell him your symptoms.
For over thirty years he has been chief
consulting physician at the Invalids'
Hotel and Surgical Institute, Buffalo,
N. Y. Consultation with him will cost
you nothing.

SCHOOL TEXT BOOKS.

SCHOOL TEXT BOOKS.
There is no subject which our law
makers will be called to legislate
upon, so important as our free
schools. Helpful laws made for the
general advance and permanent ben
eft Of the state; the more thorough
the system now, the more enlightened
and productive our people hereafter
and the less crime, restitution and
misery. We apprehend the State
Superintendent will recommend
changes in the school law; that in
addition, the committee recently APP
pointed for such purpose by the State
Teachers Association will draw at
tention to improvements therein that
should be enacted. All such recon-
mendations, being the result OF car
nest thought, and the reforms sug-
gested by practical experience, should
receive the greatest commentator
from our Law makers at Boise. There
are two phases OF the general ques
ton however, we wish to draw their
attention to. State text books and
enlarged powers and duties for coun-
ty and city superintendent.
Idaho is one OF the few states in the
Union that has adopted the advanced
idea of free text books, but in our
opinion 1t should go one step further
and own and publish them itself
The contract price made with the
eastern publishing houses cannot in
reason be rs low as the cost at which
the state could have them compiled
and published, and saving to the
state thus be made. Another reason
for such a change; the leaders in
pedagogne affairs in Idaho know ex-
actly what the requirements are, in
the subject and arrangements OF text
books, which will produce the best
results, and could supervise and di-
rest their publication to meet such
requirements
In reference to the duties of the
county and city superintendent, we
believe their scope of usefulness
might well be enlarged, always act
Ing of course with the approval of
and in harmony with the trustees or
school boards OF their respective dis
tricts. Snch officers under our law
are always men or women Of expert
ence, teachers who have taken up
this vocation as life work, giving to
it their best years and thought With
GREATER power to enlarge the scope
and direct the administration OF school
affairs in their respective jurisdictions
the public would speedily benefit by
increased school attendance and more
enlightened methods of intoxicating
knowledge. Then, too, the compen.
sation of such officers should be gen
erous and certain, remembering that
as every school superintendent is a
practical teacher, who has already
earned a fair salary in the school
room, it is scarcely to be expected
that he or she should give up such
salary to accept more important of
fee at one less or so indefinite as to
be doubtful.

ART: ITS INFLUENCE

The beings OF the mind are not of
clay. Essentially immortal they create
and multiply in us brighter ray and
more beloved existence Byron. The
nations that have exerted the greatest
influence upon civilization, are the
nations that have produced the greatest
masters in art and architecture. The
foremost of those nations is the Italian,
or rather the ancient Roman, the home
of such masters of art as Giolto,
Micheal Angelo, Raphael, Canaletti
and many others. Even today when
the civilized world processes, and it is
true, to be far ahead in science and
philosophy of any ancient peoples, we
nevertheless accept, sand hold fast to
the DEGREES of the ancient Romans up
on various subjects The greatness of
the Romans is manifested in their
achievements and grandeur in works of
art and architecture. One of the most
remarkable buildings in the world for
its richness in mosaics its grandeur in
architecture and its beauty in decora-
tion, is the cathedral of St. Mark at

their achievements lis the Flavian am

OF them flaged us and wanted to know
where we were going. [ told him we
were going home and gave him an ad-

consulted for minute and came to the
conclusion there was no street in the
city like the one l said we lived on. so
they rur us in. They took us to the
39th street station that night. Next
morning they took us to the Central
Station on Chestnut street to be tried.
AS soon as we were taken before the
justice, the kid began to cry and below
like baby, so he got sent to the House
OF Refuge. [ gave his honor a con
about being bootblack and being able

any breakfast, and 1 told him no, be-

trying them in the justice court, so he
gave me dime and told me to get one.
