SNOW ORDINANCE.

we say their in this respect both be-
cause the ordinances of the city
make them such and owing to the
TACT that civic pride makes one be-
1ieve they are theirs. However,
there seems to be a mistaken idea
in some sections of the city on this
question. Some hold that the city
itself is duty bound TO clear the side
walks of ice and snow, but there is
where they are mistaken, for there
is an ordinance on the subject that
expressly makes it the duty of the
property owner or occupier TO do this
work, and the ordinance is perfectly
proper, as the city itself ought not
TO bear the burden. For the benefit
of the many who are not familiar
with The ordinance the Telegram

Course of Study.

The state board of education has
adopted the Illinois course of study for
the schools of the state of Idaho This
course has many advantages which es-
pecially commend it to the favor of the
western states and it has already been
adopted in great many of the states
and territories of America.
This course divides the scholastic pro-
gram into months as well as into years,
and prescribes the exact amount of
work which must be comprehended in
each months endeavor. 1t is advan-
tageous in classifying or grading the
pupils attending our rural district
schools, as each one can be rated ac-
cording to the particular months of the
course completed. So long as the rural
school must needs put up with shorter
term than the city school, or so long as
one district is obliged to continue it's
school for shorter term than another
district, the course here outlined will
enable each scholar in the country dis
tricts to be rated exactly according to
his particular attachments, and when
the pupil removes from one district to
another. his place in the newly entered
school is easy of ascertainment. This
course marks long practical step to-
ward the proper grading of the country
schools. Salmon Herald
