CORPORATE ENNTERPRIsE. ALSO.


Between state irrigation under the
Carey act, and national irrigation un-
der the Hansbrough- Newlands recla-
nation laws, there Is no conflict or an
tagonism. The field Is large enough
for both. In general 1t may be stated
as the intention of the government to
handle under the national reclamation
laws such projects as are, from their
magnitude, or from the engineering or
legal difficulties, unlikely to prove at
tractive to private capital. However.
that the magnitude of an undertaking
of this character is not always a bar
against corporate enterprise Is proven
by the great project now nearing COM
pletion by the Twin Falls Land and
Water company on the Snake River,
Idaho. Water Is diverted from the
Snake river by means of dam 1900
feet long, so feet high, and 450 feet
wide at the base. When completed II
win irrlgate 10000 acres OF virgin
land, making 1t an enterprise OF great
er magnitude than any OF similar char
acter so far undertaken or even pro-
jected by the national government a
very large body of land under this pro-
ject is already under the ditch"
ONE CHANGE EFFECTED.
Two years ago there were not a
half-a-dozn houses on the whole do
main. Today there are more than
1000 farm houses and four thriving
towns--TWin Fails. Kimberley, Buhl
and Hanson The largest Of the towns
Is Twin Falls. which already has so
business houses, a hotel costing s10,-
900, electric lights, a telephone sys-
tenn, and the beginning OF n sewer sys-
tenn, with u population of more than
5000,

superintendent Britt then proceeds
to argue that as a teacher, the true
woman OF cultivated and trained mind
and MORAL nature developed along the
purest lines has not received the con-
sideration that her merit entities her
TO, and that she is not ap preciatcd as
She should be in our public school
work. He points out that it was not
until the beginning of the 9th Cen
fury that the prejudice against the
education of women began to dsap-
pear and schools beyond the primary
grade were opened to girls, and says
some thinkers began to soc tho need
of female teachers. The hope of the
nation was then, and is now, in tho
training of the young, and the first
training began at the mothers knee.
The mental training by both mother
and teacher followed the moulding of
| the mother, and the wisest saw that
! the transference of the little child in
| its mental unfolding and development
| from woman, as the mother, to woman,
| as the teacher, was the proper, the
1 natural and the right course to obtain
4 the best results in the training OF the
/ child.
Since that wonderful discovery the
| barriers TO woman's intellectual adj
4 Vancement have burned away, lprcjud-
\ ice has been supplatncd by favor and
/ encouragement and the opening op.
] portunities for higher mental attain
! ments have been freely bestowed upon
women. To-day, the woman of perfect
