BRIGHT PROSPECT FOR COLLEGE
The College of Idaho Is Now Entering
Upon It's Eighteenth Year.


Never in the history of the College
| of Idaho has there been brighter pros
| poets for the school than at present
September Is will witness the open
ing of the fall term and great prepa-
rations are being made to handle the
largely increased attendance which is
expected. A number of new students
from distant points will enter the col
lege this fall and it is likewise under
stood that there will especially be
large number from different sections
of the county.
1t is matter of some disappoint-
ment to both the instructors and stu
dents that circumstances would not
allow the removal of the school to its
permanent home on Washington
Heights, and yet, nevertheless, all are
so attached to the present home of the
many happy memories and traditions
that they can be satisfied with the
same until such time as a new home
is prepared for the institution.
The endowment campaign is still in
progress and DR.. Boone expects to
leave for the east late this fall to get
in touch with influential friends of the
school. 1t is generally felt, in fact,
that this year will witness the happy
~ n IF hn
paign and that by the beginning of our
next school year the college will be
able to move into its permanent home.
Some necessary improvements are
being made at the college. A system
of private lockers is being installed.
Coach Cleayer has likewise placed
some football lockers in the basement.
Arrangements likewise will be made
to provide additional classrooms.
The past year was a record year
in the college in many ways. All
phases of the student activities were
heartily supported. Football, baseball,
tennis, track and field sports and
basketball teams were maintained by
the college. Along literary lines, the
college likewise proved it's ability,
winning the Southern Idaho declama-
tory contest, between the larger in
situations which took place at Poca-
tello, and also the debates between
Boise, Weiser and Payette high
schools and the academy of the col
lege. The Latin play, the first thing
of its kind given in the history of the
state, which was performed during
commencement week, was a revela-
ton to many people in regard to the
standards of scholarship and excel
lence demanded by the college. The
whole play was carried on In the
classic tongue and the students
showed deep appreciation for the
pie, likewise, who attended the Blatch-
beauties of that language. Many peo-
ley oratorical contest expressed their
surprise at the statesman-like train
ing which the orators exhibited. How

SOLVING THE SERVANT PROBLEM

Mrs Alice P. Norton. professor Of
household administration in the Uni
versity of Chicago, has adapted the
division of labor principle 10 house
work and is predicting that the solu-
ton OF the servant girl problem viii
be found in corporations organized to
furnish trained persons to DO different
lines of housework. for a long or short
periods, and TO do the work in bust
nesslike manner, subject TO inspection
by one of the captains of the servant
girl industry
The plan appears TO be for q con-
Germ to organize for the business OF
housekeeping and TO supply different
/ families Just as other firms now sup
( ply coal. and meat and ice and milk.
There would be, for example, girl
who would cook breakfast for the
I Jones family at ! O'Clock and then
| depart TO get the s O'Clock breakfas;
for the Browns. making way for the
i sirl who would come in and wash the
/ dishes While another would make the
beds, sweep and dust the rooms and
perhaps sort the family laundry and
prepare it for the woman who would
arrive later TO do the washing and
scrub the floors Lunch cooks and
dinner cooks would follow and other
servants would appear from time II
time TO do the work in their specia
line, Any complaint would be sem

be investigated by an overseer or in
spector In this way, Mrs. Morton
urges, a family would get for the
price of one servant. the services o
a series of specialists in every line 0
housework. The result It is claimed
could not be other than satisfactor,
and would relieve housewives OF mucl
OF the worry that nov. consumes them
