The Idaho scimitar. [volume] (Boise, Idaho) 1907-1908, 1907-11-23

During the current week many of the county audi
tors of Idaho have been in session in Boise, having
been called together by the public examiner of the
State They were in consultation in relation to uni
form system of keeping books and accounts in the
several counties and they created committee to for

ceved from the sale of land This is the beginning
of the evidence of the benevolence of the parent
government which has also dealt literally with the
State educational institutions The State is not less
generous During the year 1906 it expended through
its general officers and its subdivision officers,
than million and quarter dollars for the payment
of teachers, for books and library convenences, for
new buildings repairs and ncidentas, quarter of
a million having been devoted to construction for the
housing of pupils in rural and urban communities.
There are within the State, according to the data
of the superintendent, $4,000 persons of the school
age-persons between five and twenty-one years
of age-and of these seventy per cent have at
tended the schools during the past year. There is
compulsory education law and it will probably be
more generally enforced as the years go on
Like other Western States, Idaho experiences diff
hculty in keeping up its complement of instructors
for the schools and the that operates through
out the West affects this State The compensation
generally insufficient when the expanding cost of
living is considered, along with a general demand
that exceeds the supply These delnquiences that
will be remeded in time, through the somewhat slow
processes of legislation and administrative adudica
ton The meagre supply of teachers has asserted it
self rather Unexpectedly along with the general lack
of material in other departments of labor, an eco
nomic condition that will regulate itself through the
adjustment Of the law of supply and demand
But all the evidence goes to prove that Idaho
alert in behalf of the advancement of education
that the school house is the cherished institution
of the land-that it is the first consideration among
the pioneers that people the State. So need
fear that there will be any sacrifice of the choicest
privilege of American citizenship in locating homes
in this new domain of the West Higher education
is receiving its due share of attention and several
State institutions have opened their doors to pro-
gressive students. They generously endowed
by the general government and generously supported
by the State government
AS in all things else, Idaho is building we'll for the
future in its educational department and is main
tanning system adequate to its present needs.

The New York Journal of Commerce becomes
somewhat chesty in its treatment of the financial
misforunes that have befallen the west, having i'll
mind the premature boast of the west that it could
take of its crop movement and its other bust
ness without any assistance from the financial center
The Journal of Commerce assumes that the people
of the west wiser, if not comfortable IN ascer-
tanning that they tied to the wheels of the chariot
of the Moloch of New York speculation and it re-
lates the circumstances in a spirit of rejoicing Al
most any robber taunt his victim and the evidence
that New York does not rise above the level of its
class is something to remember next time 1t calls
for the wealth of the producing sections of the coun-
try upon which to build unearned fortunes.
