Must Attend Institute.

The school board and teachers
reached an agreement recently
concerning the salary for the three
weeks during which the schools
were closed on account of small
pox. 1t was decided that the hol-
iday week would be credited to
the teachers, that the teachers
make up one week at the end of
the term and that the county sup
erintendent be asked to excuse the
teachers from attendance at the
institute, allowing them to teach
during that week, thus making up
the three weeks that were lost.
l, is learned, however, that all
teachers are required by law to at
tend the institute and none can be
legally excused.

QuE6TioN OF TAXATION

THE CEUR D'ALENE Press has
grown frightened at a statement
issued by the Rathdrum Com
mercial club pointing out what
the county would lose in land
and other property if the county
seat is moved to Occur d'Alene,
and the large increase in taxa
ton that would be necessary to
buy new ground and erect new
buildings. In it's desperation
the Press goes SO far as to claim
that the question Of taxation
does not enter into the county
seat issue. The people know
better than that. Taxation is
the main question for the con-
sideration Of the property own
ers OF the county.
And the end is not yet. 1t is
an open secret at Ceur d'Alene
that if they succeed in getting
the county seat the next step
will be an attempt to bond the
county for $15O,OOO to build
edifices which will surpass any
similar structures in the state.
The taxpayers will be called
upon to spend money to beauti-
~ C9ur d'Alene in the way of
attractive and magnificent pub
lie buildings and all the columns
which the Press may devote to
an attempt to hide this fact will
not suffice. The Press has good
reason to be alarmed at the out
look.

FIRES AND SCHOOLS

THE terrible calamity which
overlook the Collinwood suburb
of Cleveland, Ohio, last week
when 1875 pupils OF the public
school lost their lives in the fire
which destroyed the structure in
which they sought an education,
has been learned OF with horror
all over the country. Wherever
there is a school house the posi-
bilities OF danger in case OF fire
are being earnestly considered
and the value OF fire drills and
proper construction OF buildings
forcibly impressed upon teachers
trustees and parents alike. The
The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1908-03-13

fire drills are not always efica
cious, for the discipline OF
months may be forgotten in a
moment OF panic fear when dis
orderly attempt to escape will
often cause the loss of more lives
than the flames. Wide halls and
numerous exits should be the
rule in all public buildings.
These with drills in the schools
and the adoption OF every posi-
BILE precaution should be encour-
aged to the end that danger
may be reduced to a minimum.

Before Washingtons S administration

The Afro-Americans have a good

for him on November 3. The race
will continue to stick to the party
which gave freedom to the slave.
Mr.. Taft was the choice of the Re-
publican party in national conven-
ton assembled. He was nominated
by acclamation, unanimously, and
the same spirit that led to his nomi-
nation will lead to victory at the
polls. There is nothing to be even

party under any circumstances and
all sober minded, thinking AFRO
Americans know this and will vote
accordingly. So let everybody get
