To the state of Idaho it is most inn
portant that its normal schools keen
pace with it's many rapidly growing in
situations. From practically every
county comes the request for more
teachers. Without these teachers many
boys and girls will be forced to stop
school with only very meagre training
and the results of such condition are
far-reaching. 1t is to the work of train
ing teachers that the normal school is
expected to direct it's whole effort. This
work is double task. 1t involves the
work of education and the work of the
educator and demands the very best of
material for both it's faculty and it's
student body.
Those who are most interested in this
work and in the future of Lewiston
Normal school are busy solving the
problem. While they appreciate the
progress already noted their attention
is directed toward the future. At pres
ent the wholetof the work Is more or
less formative but it is fundamentally
correct in intent and will undoubtedly
result in the building of an institution
the influence Of which will be felt
throughout this and our neighboring
states.

Sinecures Come to an End

PARIS, Jan. Though more than
a dozen years have elapsed since the
great Paris exhibition of 1900 closed
its gates, the exposition did not come
to an official end until today. Many of
the high functionaries of the exposition
have been on duty since 1889, their
services being continued through the
Chicago worlds fair to the present
date. Recently NJ. Picard, the director
general, decided that it was about time
to wind up the expense account and
today the remaining officials vacated
their luxurious offices on the Avenue
Rapp and at the same time ceased to
draw their salaries.

LEWISTON STATE NORMAL
A REVIEW OF THE SCHOOL
ITS PAST AND IT'S FUTURE

Gus departments of the school. This
| department under the supervision and
| daily attention of a jealous faculty
gives to a great extent a guarantee of a
higher type of class work and a vastly
greater proficiency in academic sub
jects. 1t is significant fact that the
students almost without exception are
endeavoring to read the books avail
able in the various subjects. 1t indi-
Gates a real interest in their work. They
are improving daily in their ability to
work Independently and are getting a
much broader conception of the work
than could be obtained from a study of
the textbook alone no matter how
strong the class work or the members
of the faculty may be.
For the first time in the history OF
the school. a department of music and
drawing is assisting in the better prep
aration of teachers. 1t is generally I'M
derstood that teachers must be able to
conduct this work in the grades If they
wish to command positions of any i'm
portance in the graded schools. We
shall not endeavor to discuss the edu-
cational value of this work, since it's
importance is conceded. Without it our
graduates would be unable to hold
other than positions of secondary i'm
portance. The utility side alone there
fore, demands such work and it has
been introduced in it's proper connec-
ton. The students have already made
marked progress in their drawing
Many to whom the subject is almost
wholly new are doing excellent work.
In the two dornitories, Morris Hall
and Reid Hall. a great many important
changes have been made and the dorm
tory life has gradually become more
nearly a home life. Good board to-
gether with lodging, heat and light has
been supplied at the almost nominal
cost of twelve dollars a month. The
board is no longer offered on the CO.
operative plan since that plan was
found to be very laborious and involved
much work that interfered with con-
genial living. To avoid such conditions,
the management has undertaken the
whole responsibility and the present
conditions are such that many students
who were boarding themselves have
found 1t cheaper and better to board at
the dormitories.
The heating plant has been improved
by having the steam pipes wrapped
with asbestos and the building is COM
fortably heated at all times. Parents
who wish to have the welfare of their
children guarded both in school and out
of school will find the solution of the
problem in we'll conducted dormitory
life. So far as the conditions permit,
life in and around the normal school
is at all times both pleas
ant and profitable.
From time to time many minor i'm
provements have been made in the
buildings and on the grounds. These
have for the most part been directed
toward the decoration and preservation
of the state property. With the COM
pletion of the city sewer system the
school will gain still another improve
ment. AS soon as the season will per-
NIT, the many shade trees on the cam
pus will be pruned and the lawn will |
be kept in good condition. Several trees |
will be planted in the front campus |

In looking over the work as it has
been progressing at the Lewiston State
Normal school during the past four
months those upon whom the respon-
sibility for the work has fallen feel
that much has been accomplished for
the permanent upbuilding of the insti-
tuition. From the beginning the prob
lem before the institution has been the
adoption of such policy as would give
TO Idaho a normal school which would
rank equal to any in the northwest,-a
school whose graduates would
strengthen the whole Of the educative
work of the Idaho public schools.
To this end the course of study and
the requirements for graduation were
strengthened and the work was en-
trusted to a faculty of nine members
all of whom were chosen because of
their being in touch with the character
of the work to be accomplished. That
the members of the Board of Trustees
have been successful in their efforts to
obtain correct results is. we believe
evidenced in the nature of the accom-
plishments of the past few months.
The constructive work has effected,
directly or indirectly. nearly every de-
partment of the school but that i'm the
training school, the library, the art
department and the dormitories is most
apparent.
In the training school two critic
teachers. Misses Ingersoll and King,
have had charge of the training of
young teachers. Commencing with
practically nothing in the way of equip
ment. they have already what would
readily be recognized as model school.
Both have conducted classes in spe-
cial methods and moreover have spent
much time daily in interviews with the
students in their department. They
have given their attention for the most
part to the problems of the primary and
intermediate grades of the public school
and in addition to the regular subjects,
have introduced manual training
throughout the grades In their school.
This has contributed greatly to the
identifying of the rooms. the great ad-
vantage being that each child has had
a living interest in the decoration of
worked with equal enthusiasm and the
result is that several of the seniors who
are not required to teach longer than
the first semester have requested the
faculty to allow them TO continue dur
ing the second semester. 1t is an es-
pecial pleasure to find such conditions
existing in regard to the work In the I
training school for. almost without ex-
ception, young teachers in normal
schools exhibit more or less apathy
toward the work.
Without a good spirit existing
throughout the training school, the
work OF the normal school would be
checked and its chief purpose would be
defeated. We therefore have reason to
believe that in our graduates will be
found those young men and women
who will rank in proficiency with the
graduates of the normal schools of the
middle west and the east.
The library and study room consti-
tute another very important part of
the schools equipment. There are now
in the library, such reference books as |
are an immediate necessity in the vari-

When a new congress meets

ure to secure reelection, some
other senator from the rear ap.
plies for his seat and gets it, the
rule being, "frst come, first

New senators are compelled to
take the less desirable desks in
the rear of the chamber, to await
their turn for a chance at better
ones. Thus in the senate there is
a slow but steady movement from
the rear toward the front of the
chamber-a movement highly sug
gestive of the senatorial system
based upon prerOgutive and pre-.
cedence.
Even more striking is the meth.
cd of assigning senator's to places
upon committees. Here again pre-.
rogatiye is everything. If the
chairman Of a committee dies or
leaves the senate the man of the
majority political party who has
served longest upon that commit.
tee becomes his successor. The
rule is invariable, though OF
course complications occasionally
arise. If 3 senior committeeman
is chairman of another important
committee, he may be compelled
to surrender one or the other.

w. II. Baily, of Des Moines, combining
the best features of the Massachusetts,
New York and the Illinois laws. The
original draft was carefully revised
after careful investigation by the sew
eral interested organizations and
Judge Deemer Of the supreme court.
Shortly after the converting of the
general assembly the bill was intro
duced in the house by Representative
B. r. Cummings of Marshall county
as house file No. 40. In the senate it
was introduced by Senator G. G. Dow
ell of Polk as senate file No. Sc. At
this time there was no apparent oppo-
sition to legislation Of this kind except
that it was thought the bill was too
lengthy, and that the blank forms
Chat have been found so necessary
elsewhere for the enforcement of the
law should be cut out.
In both houses the bill was referred
to the judiciary committee, and both
committees appointed, sub-comm ittees
to condense If possible. After con.
ference between these joint sub-com-
mittees and Judge w. II. Baily, the
drafter of the bill, and the chairman
Of your committee, both snb-commit-
tees reported that condensing of the
bill was impossible without injury to
the measure, and both judiciary COM
mittees recommended for passage in
it's original form.
Coming up for consideration in the
senate on the 18th, 18th and 18th of
February, after determined fight it
passed that body on the latter date
by vote Of 80 for to against. When
messaged to the house it was referred
to the labor committee, where 1t was
discovered that considerable oppo-
sition prevailed. After hearing Civ
en- to the friends Of the measure, that
committee unanimously reported the
bill. 1t was in the house, however,
where the greater part Of your com
mittae's grief was occasioned. The
| house usually contains small num-
Der of very bright and active men,
with a good knowledge Of conditions
and affairs in all parts of the state.
A part of this number are usually men
of broad and liberal views, without
any prejudice towards any commun-
ity, or interest; another part are men
who because of personal self-interest
are continually peeling their weather
eye for the influence that will serve
! their purpose best. The great bulk
are men whose perspective is greatly
| limited to their Immediate environ
mems and cannot be expected to know
! industrial conditions in the cities
where union labor interests princi-
pally exist. This class may be divided
| between the men who believe that ru-
raj and urban conditions must be the
same, and who because of self knowl-
edge and deeply seated prejudices will
not investigate; and the men of SINH
lar environments, yet who are honest
and broad minded enough to admit
that some difference does exist and
will therefore investigate. That
which usually holds good in the com
position of the house was true this
time to an unusual degree, thus Civ,
ing an extraordinary opportunity to the
interests opposed to organized labor.
