OLD FERRY HOUSE BURNED
SiIeott Residence on the North Bank Of the
Clearwater River Was Burned to the Ground
Today.

|
Today.
Between the hours of 1 and O'Clock
today the John Silcott residence that
stands on the bank Of the Clearwater
river opposite Lewiston was consumed
by fire. The fire started In the roof Of
the kitchen and soon spread to the main
building. The timbers we're dry and
burned fast and the entire house and out
buildings were soon inveloped In flames.
Little of the household effects of Robert
Goodwin who occupies the premises
were saved. AS soon as the fire was dis.
covered Mr.. Goodwin came over to
Lewiston for help and gathered up the
dozen men who had rushed to the river
front and returned The men could do
reached Us highest the ferry tower began
to blaze aud the cable would have fallen
IN few moments had not shower of
water ben thrown on the flames to ex-
tinguished them AS the fire progressed
a hundred or more people gathered on
the railroad track at the ferry landing
and watched the blaze shoot skyward.
Numerous small explosions told ofcart-
ridges stored away in the building and
noise was heard at one time like the
explosion Of an old powder flask.
The main building was built 80 years
ago. The small log buildings that were
used for wood shed and chicken house of
late years were builtin the early sixties
when John Silcott first established his
ferry across the river. These land marks
at one time were the first to greet the
weary traveller on his road from Walla
Walla to Lewiston aud the central Idaho
mines The owner was typical from
tiersman and his home was palace of
hospitality that furnished a haven of
comfort to srery conner. The walls Of
the old building could tell stories of
jolly revelry could they speak. The ERE
bells of Lewiston did not ring to tell of
the passing of this old land mark bat let
it go its way In silence. s.st

WORK IN NORMAL SCHOOL
Special Features in the Training School-A
Model Graded School Will Be Established
for Observation and Practice Work

The announcement for the normal
school will be issued this week and by
the end Of the week the new instructors
will begin to arrive. School will open
the 9th of September, and from Inquiries
made the student body will be largely
increased this year, drawing largely from
all Idaho counties in the north and in
the southeast.
The announcement shows the re-
| organization of the school under the new
management. One of the main features
OF the new plans is the organization of
the training school to emphasize the
work along its professional side. Speak
ing about the work for the year along
this line President Black says;
"The Board of Trustees have arranged
to make the Training school in connec-
ton with the State Normal one of the
strongest departments of the institutions.
This department will have the daily at
tention of tour of the members of the
faculty. Mr.. Feree will have general
supervision. Miss EgReman will super
wise and instruct in music and drawing
and Misses Ingersoll and King will give
close attention to the general work.
"The school will. for the present, offer
work in the first FIVE grades. 1t is de
sired that each grade may have fifteen
children and be limited to that number.
"In order that arrangements may be
made in advance, registration for the
Training School will commence on Aug.
2oth. After that date the President will
be at the school daily aud will be pleased
to receive the names of children who
wish to attend the training school.
Zone of the specia features Of the
training school will be the instruction in
music and drawing. In Detroit last year
Miss Eggeman was one of the special
teachers in music and drawing, working
under Mrs. Thomas, who has the entire
supervision Of that work in the city
schools. During the year Miss Eggeman
conducted chorus of 1000 children in
preparation for a special festival pro-
gram. There is no doubt but that her
work here will mean much for the
children as well as for the regular
students of the normal school.
"The student teachers will have train
ing in special methods before taking
charge of classes and the critic teachers
will manage the classes until the student
teachers are able to'take charge. This
arrangement will guard against any
waste OF time for the children in the
grades Sufficient funds have been set
aside for the proper equipment OF the
school and small library will be estab
lished during the FIRST semester.
"For the convenience of parents who
wish to register their childr N, registra-
tons will be received by letter or by
telephone,
