THE LABOR DAY
PROCLAMATION

Governor Morrison this week
issued the following Labor day pro-
clamation:
III the presence of history and
contemplating the course of events
through the centuries mankind
must acknowledge labor as the es-
sentlal ingredient and ruling Gle
ment in all human development
Nations, communities and individ-
uals advance and prosper as their
labor is protected and rewarded.
Human selishness alone mars the
harmony of progression and begets
disCord between classes whose in
terests are independent. The Just
settlement of differences between
capital and labor is the problem OF
the times. 1t is one of government
and its solution must recognize the
dignity and worth of those who toll
and their command in every econ
omy of life commensurate with
right living.
The better to emphasize all this,
and in the interests of a wider
brotherhood and deeper sympathy
among men, the federal government
for the District Of Columbia, and
many Of the states of the Union,
have designated a day as a lega,
holiday, to be observed as Labor
day. The state of Idaho has moi
designated such a day by statute.
yet a precedent for its observance is
established and our people are in
full sympathy with the patrio tic
thought.
Therefore, l, John 7. Morrison
governor of Idaho, do earnestly
recommend the celebration, by oul
citizens, on Monday, September S

ne took up School Management"
and Geography" Both subjects
were thoroughly and systematically
treated. AS superintendent of the
Boise schools Mr.. Williamson has
had wide experience in that most
important branch of pedagogy,
school managem mt. He is verv
successful himself. His instruc-
tions were direct, practical and
beneficial.
Miss Soma devoted the morning
sessions to Grammar or Psychol-
ogy'' and the afternoon to ''Litera-
ture." She has made a deep study
OF the two branches. Her theory
OF teaching grammar is that until
the child reaches the seventh or
eigth grade little or no attention
should be paid to the mechanical
part of the study. 1t is enough
to teach the child to speak and
write reasonably we'll. Too
mnch diagraming, declensions and
conjugations clouds the mind of
the child without giving a working
knowledge of the subject. This is
the latest and best manner Of teach
ing. Her knowledge of literature
is wide and deep. The course OF
instruction produced a very favor
able impression. Each evening she
delivered a lecture at the College
assembly hall. These lectures were
well attended and immencely ap-
preciated. Monday evening her
subject was THE Rise of the Eng
lish Drama;" Tuesday evening,
Laws and Technique of the ORA
ma" Wednesday evening, "Idylls
of the King" Thursday evening,
"The English Novel" Her grasp
of the several subjects was wonder

Deplore it as we may, the dis
agreeable fact remains that in the
estimation of American patriots a
public Office without emoluments
is a public trust without honor,
therefore, few there be who aspire
to a position on the school board.
Nobody envies a school trustee;
nobody wants his job; nobody feels
elated when the people rise in their
majesty and force it upon him. But
make it $4,000 a year and at once
it becomes a noble and dignifed
position. We are to have an cleo
tion on the 5th instant, that is next
Monday, to elect two trustees for
this district. Men of education,
culture and ability should be chosen.
They should be profoundly interest
ed in the advancement of civiliza-
ton and the promotion of learning
they should have sufficient knowl-
edge Of the science of pedagogy to
know when q school is being pro-
perly conducted; they should be
able to tell whether the principal
is qualified and whether his assist
ants are capable, and above all they
should cherish affectionate regard
aud sincere concern for the welfare
Of the rising generation. TO be. a
real good trustee man, or woman
must feel for posterity, must labor
for it, must cheerfully sacrifice fo1
it. To be real good trustee a
man, or woman, must be endowed
with rare executive ability, must
be a statesman and an accomplished
diplomat, a Humanitarian, a philos,
opt1er and a philaDthropist, and the
question is where are you going tc
find the man, or woman, owning
and operating all these excellences

The TEACHERS
INSTITUTE OVER
It was the Largest and the
Best in State Of Idaho

Friday the Canyon county teach
. .,s, institute concluded its labors
and adjourned. This institute was
tbe largest and most successful ever
held in Idaho. There was a larg-
or attendance, the interest was
more pronounced and it is thought
that more good results will follow
Than ever before. The Canyon
county teachers institute is nearly
twice as large as any other in
he state. Ninty six teachers at
tended. The entire credit for the
large attendance and hearty enthu-
iassm which prevailed throughout
The session, is due Miss Bean, coun-
ty superintendent of public instruc-
ton. She worked increasingly and
her efforts were crowned with sue
cess in every particular. She con-
Quoted the institute in an able and
energetic manner. Her steadfast
determination that all the county
teachers attend, was responsible for
The presence of many of them. Mr..
]. F. williamson, superintendent Of
the Boise public scoools, Miss
Agatha Jean Soma, late of the Un-
iverSity of Idaho and Miss Julia E.
CapWell, primary teacher of st.
hargaret's school, Boise, were the
principal instructors. Much valu-
able information in the successful
handling of various studies, the
management of the school and the
training Of children was diffused
Every person who attended was
amply repaid.
Professor Williamson took up the
subject of Advanced Reading
bis Instructions were excellent and
The suggestions he made should
prove profitable. In the afternoon.

is in it.
But it may be possible to get
moderately good material, 1t is
not too much to hope that men may
be found who will give some atten-

interest enough to learn something
of what is going on in the school.
If common report can be at all
credited, a good many things crept
into the Caldwell school during the
past few years which had no busi-
ness there. A system of grading
has. been develooed which barri-
cades the door of progress against

or ten studies. A pupil may stand

difference between republic and a
constitutional monarchy he is
brought to standstill. This ought
to be looked into. Then, according
to report, chivalry has had a robust
growth, manifesting itself in nose
gays and bon-bons. Chivalry is a
beautiful and refined accomplish
ment, naturally running to sweets
and posies, but it should always be
indulged with moderation and cir
cumspection by pedagogs in active
service. We hope that the parents
will exercise great care and much
wisdom in selecting the two trustees
to be elected next Monday, and
that the elected will, though with
out hope of fame, strive to fulfill
the sacred obligation of guardians
OF the Caldwell public school.

that the first thing to teach the

Der was furnished with an incident
worthy of jotting down in the note
book, but which will hardly be recon-
mended for adoption in his native land,
He was Philip Schwartz an architect,
of the firm of Rudolph & Philip
Schwarz, of Prague, relates the Phil

with a Philadelphia policeman, and had
to do with his Interpretation of Herr
Schwarz's broken English.
On one of the days the party was here

an inspection of Cramps shipyard. I'M
fortunately, Herr Schwarz was some-
what late in rising, and the rest of the
party had gone without him. He has
tened outside the hotel to take a car
to the yards. But he suddenly changed
his mind, and thought cab would get
him there more quickly Accordingly
he approached policeman on a Chest.

he could get ''kop"

EMBROIDERED BUTTONS.
These Are Quite a Feature in the Trim.
ming Of Hats Of Latest
Design.

Hats are trimmed with buttons quite
little. There are big button molds COW
cred with plaid silk and embroidered
and these are used in various ways to
trim the fall and winter hats, says the
Brooklyn Eagle. One hat had crush
OF silk around the crown, and this was
caught Gown here and there with big
round, silk-covered buttons.
The embroidered button decorates not
only the hat, but the entire costume,
and, while embroidering, the girl of in
dustrious tendencies might as well en-
brolder sufficient number to go
around.
In the button supply the girl of fashion
Will need six for the front of her Louis
XIV. coat. She will need four large but
tons for the back of her coat, and she
will require half a dozen the size of a
dime for her stock. These, with supply
for the cuffs and the hat, should about
afford sufficient number for the trim
ming of modish fall costume.
The button question continues to be
an interesting one, particularly as ap-
piled to sleeves. One of the pretty
sleeves of the week is buttoned all the
way down the back. A frill of lace falls
down the outside, setting off the buttons
handsomely. The frill reaches from the
shoulder to the waist, for the entire back
Of the sleeve is slit open, filled in with
lace and buttoned up again with little
brass buttons
Another gown, this one made of dark
green louisine, has a sleeve that is
wrinkled to the elbow 1t is slit and the
slit is finished with row of bullet but
tons and a lace frill.
