Seven Year Old Boy Arrives From
Denver Colorado, Tagged
For Delivery

Reuben Mcclure of Denver. Colo,
arrived in the city Wednesday evening.
This traveller was no different from any
of the other gentlemen on the steamer
Spokane except that he was only seven
years old. A tag was sewed to his
coat directing the little adventurer to
his aunt, Mrs. Sofa zones or Bennett
Thomas of this city.
The mother of the child died when
ne was a baby and his father married
again. In turn the father died and the
step-mother sent the child alone to
this city.
Mr. Neland of this city was a passen-
ger on the boat and suggested to the
baby boy that he should stay on the
boat until the parties could be found.
The little man promptly responded
that he proposed to find his folks if he
had to enquire at every house in Lew
iston. He had been in the city only
an hour when he discovered Mr. Thorn
DIS who works in the White Front liv-
cry stable.

engaged in cementing a section of sew

in the ground nearby and as Brown
jumped aside the dirt and rocks piled
in on him and the shovel struck in the
pit of his stomach.
Inspector Armstrong quickly gath

We're put to work shoVciing out the
dirt. After fifteen minutes work one
of the workmen struck Brown on the
head with a shovel. Brown let out
yell which was good evidence that
he was still alive. He was packed
beneath six feet of solid dirt but was
soon extricated.
Brown states that he was fast losing
his breath and could hardly breath,
and the first air that reached him
was like getting into a new world
DR.. Hurlbut was called. but found
that Brown was uniniured.
Brown came here from Palouse City,
where he resides.

Escaped Death

Dave Brown and Adolph Peterson,
workmen on the Normal Hill sewer

morning and suffered a miraculous es-

work of dozens of men was Brown ex-

which had caved in on him from the
sides of the ditch in which he had
been working
Peterson escaped from being buried
and only saved himself by jumping
aside but Brown was not so fortunate

interest regarding the school, 1t will
be issued before commencement.
We have every reason to congratu-
late the senior class both for what
they have already accomplished and
for what they have planned for the
year. With their graduation, the Lew
iston Normal School will give 10 the
state of Idaho the services of young,
energetic and efficient teachers.
Some Internal improvements
Through a series of gradual i'm
provements the buildings are becon-
ing much more attractive and more
convenient
The result of the oiling of the iloors
of the main building and the training
school has greatly improved the by
gienic conditions. 1t has seemed all
most impossible to keep down the dust
in the buildings but it is now at a
minimum.
The arrangement of the study room
i'm connection with the library has
proven a delight to the students. 1t
has, moreover enabled the faculty to
do more efficient work. Three weeks
ago a large shipment Of lew books
was received and since that time all
the books in the library have been cat
alogued on the Dewey decimal system.
A card idex is being prepared and the
result is that work progresses without
waste of time and effort. All the MEM
bers of the faculty have worked dill
gently in order to see this work ac-
complished and all are gratified in not
ing the results and their effect upon the
atmosphere of the school.
The books chosen for the first order
were standard references for the var
ious departments of the academic de-
partment and large collection of the
best books for reference in connection
with the work of the grades in the
training school. The selections were
made by the members of the faculty
and the works purchased represent the
most immediate useful books obtain
able with the money voted for that
purpose.
An excellent set of periodicals is now
found in the library. The list at pres
ent is as follows: Forum. Review of
Reviews, Popular Educator, Primary
Education, Country Life in America,
Atlantic Monthly, Worlds Work. Wo-
mans Home Companion, Popular Sci
ence Monthly, Notes and Queries,
North American Review, Library Jour
nal. Harpers. Educational Review
The Dial. Cumulative Index
to Periodicals, Century, Literary Dr.
gest, Outlook. Bookman, Birds and Ma
ture. Journal of School Geography. In
to these are several contribu-
ted papers and periodicals.

material for an endless number of dull
educational addresses by dull peda-
gogues for numberless duh years to
come. But there is not human being
who ever got living idea out of these
totals and averages and percentages;
and yet nobody complains. We all
seem abjectly to accept educational
literature as necessarily dull and we
go on year by year making averages
and percentages. Yet of all subjects
on earth, education is the least illu-
mined by statistics.
Now the government ought to make
the bureau euuCdIlO1 d really uS6Iul
thing. Doctor Harris, the commission
err, is a man of great learning; but,
it may be, he is fettered, underpaid,
held down to the statistical level of
mere census work. If this be true,
he ought to be freed. And the endless
averaging and adding and tabulating
of useless knowledge, done by the I'M
inspired workers in his office, would
kill the ardor and deaden the i'm
agination of any man.
Does 1t do education any service?
There may be a teacher who has wait
ed eagerly for year to learn that "of
the 43 schools of technology, 81 insti-
buttons report women among their
undergraduates, but if there be such
a person he is not worth IAN average
of $40 a month for males" even if he
belong to the less than % per cent of
the teachers" who were males-what
are they now, pray?-or 1892 out of
a total of 439.596!"
