true, our schools will lack in efficen-
cy.
Let me urge that the school Ii
brary be provided for this year.
Kingsley says: Except living man,
there is nothing more wonderful
than book message to us from
the dead-from human souls we
never saw, who lived, perhaps, a
thousand miles away. And yet, in
these little sheets of paper, speak to
us, arouse us, terrify us, comfort us,
open their hearts to us as brothers. :"
We may not be able to give these
children under our care all we would
desire, but we can give them the
noblest that ever walked the earth
through their writing. No one can
estimate the influence of a book,
whether good or evil. This being
true, we should see that only the
best is placed in our schools.
Last but not least of the things
that have occupied our attention
this year is the compulsory school
law. While there has been great
improvement in attendance, and
almost all the children that come
under the provisions of the law are
in school, and if not good reasons
have been shown why they are not,
yet | do not feel that parents or
trustees have all caught the spirit of
the law. Legally child between the
ages of and IA years cannot be kept
out of school one day of the school
year except for his own bodily or
mental condition. And yet l get re-
ports from teachers of children not
older than years being kept out for
work. A child has certain inalien-
able rights, and not the least of them
is his right to an education.
| know when spring opens and the
time comes for breaking up of the
ground it will be great temptation
FOR the father to require the help of
the 13 or 14-year-old boy or girl,
and then again when the time comes
FOR harvesting the crops to some it
will seem a necessity that these
give of their time for the
work. But we must learn the lesson
hat the Germans have learned, that
he state can compel the schooling of
Ter children.

Susan B. Anthony Day.

The unpretentious gathering al
the Blackfoot Baptist church last
Saturday to learn more about and
commemorate the life and work OF
this noted woman who passed from
earth two years ago, was source
of pleasure and satisfaction. Letters
were read from Mrs. Rebecca Mitchell
of Idaho Falls and from Mrs. Mary
Dean Trego Of Mackay, both of whom
were well informed about the life,
aims and desires of Miss Anthony.
Mesdames Rea and Holbrook were
there with facts and "reminiscences
while younger women told of what
they had read and heard. The con-
illusions drawn were as follows:
Lucretia Coffin Mott the first woman
reformer, born at Nantucket, Mass,
in 1898, preacher in the Society of
Friends or Quakers, active in matters
of abolition import, woman suffrage
and universal peace, was woman of
culture and refinement, that she
dealt with her subject in a logical,
polished, persuasive manner, and
thus appealed more to the intellect
ual element of siciety.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton came next,
born at Jamestown, N. ", in 1915.
She gave valuable aid to both these
women, often using her own home as
a meeting place for consultation and
public lectures, the first womans'
rights convention being held there in
184S. She was more aggressive than
Miss Mott, but not so positive and
as Miss Anthony who fol-
lowed Immediately in her footsteps,
having been born in South Adams,
Mass, in 1920 This woman carried
VIC HdoSco ny SlOILu. one uISllKeu
conventionalities. She had a great
work in mind and wanted to carry it
on according to her own ideas. She
was positive, but just, aggressive but
generous and kind. She defied con-
by appearing in bloom
ers and short hair and saw nothing
wrong in so doing, neither was there
anything wrong, but 1t took con-
siderable bravery to walk down the !
streets of large city in those days,
.husly attired. DR.. Mary Walker was
also brought into the discussion as
we'll as Belva Lockwood who has
aspired to become president of North
Saints domains. Then came Miss
whom all agreed was by,far
he most lovable, had created and
illed a place all her own, had done
t by her own individuality, and

up. He gave it whang and bang,
and shocked the good man as he
| scooted down the street as hard as
his little legs could carry him, only
to turn and shout to his friend, Hey
mister, you'd better run like the
devil or you'll get caught. We must
know where to meet this boy and
how to understand him; and in
teaching him where fun ends and
law begins we must have due regard
both for his fun, his exercise and
bubbling energies and the law
have found that when we do that
he is the noblest little creature in
the world. He is truthful, generous
and honest. He will respect your
rights even more than you respect
his.
Wonderful Human Creature.
This child is wonderful human
creature-a divine machine We
have much to expect from him, but
he has much to expect from us, and
what he returns depends largely up
on what we give.
1--WE shall suffer with him whether
we will or no, if we do not share his
burdens. Let us not weary of the
struggle till the child gets a square
deal, and until he does we cannot
have and do not deserve to have that
glorious manhood, that splendid
citizenship that will come alone from
duty done in childhood's sacred
cause.
1--WE of the children's courts are
optimistic because we see, perhaps,
with clearer vision the most hopeful
sign in this country 1t is that
awakened conscience of the state to
its own responsibility for the child.
1t Is aroused to the fact that all chill
dren are our children: that the child
is the state and the state is the
child; that in caring for the child
the state is simply caring for itself.
1--WE have ceased in this country
to question the duty of the state. 1t
must provide free education and pass
compulsory school and child-labor
laws and establish play grounds,
trade schools and juvenile courts, for
the state suffers just as far as the
child is ignorant or weak. We do
not need more to emphasize our re-
sponsibifity. The nation must take
care of its children. From that duty
it cannot and shall not escape It'll

1t is true to it's children"

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.

The decision by the supreme court
of Wisconsin that the telegraphers
eight hour law enacted at the last ses-
sion of the legislature is void, is based on
the clause Of the federal constitution
which vests congress with the power to
regulate interstate commerce.. The fact
also il taken into consideration that con-
gress has fixed the hours of railway
telegraphers and that the effect of the
Wisconsin law, if it could be enforced,
would be to override and nullify this
federal law. Not only the railway com
panies, but the people of Wisconsin at
scores of small stations throughout the
state. will be delighted to learn that the
Wisconsin statute has been pronounced
void for it's operation has been embar.
RAISING in many ways Among other
things, the law has led to the closing of
many railway telegraph stations which
were II convenience to the public, and
to the use of telephone instead of the
telegraph in connection with the run
ming Of trains. The belief is general that
the decision will have the important eff
feet of preventing subsequent legisla'
lures from rushing into competition
with the federal government in the en-.
actment Of laws to regulate business
There has been too much half baked
legislation of this character in the ma
ton as well as in most of the states
1t will be a very good thing for the fad
to receive a check Evening Wiscor-

sons in support of the view that the
process of amending the constitution is
vastly preferable TO its construction rs a
means of meeting new departures, of
preserving intact the functions Of the
different branches of government, in
Guiding the integrity of our highest
court, and the rights and liberties of

is thoughtful and scholarly throughout

pondered.
Mr.. Nash also blazed the way for
nomination by the people of candi-
dates for public Office in a pamphlet
on this subject which he prepared,
printed and distributed ten years ago
We need only add that had the law
enacted six years later been drawn so

One word more. Mr.. Nash is above

congress was therefore without any eff
fort on his part Moreover, his method
of campaigning is clean and character

to see his model generally accepted ir
