BOARD OF EDUCATION AROUSED
OVER THE DEMONSTRATION
MADE BY THE HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS.
GLASS DECLARES

ALTON SAY BOYS ACTED
FOOLISHLY.

Feeling keenly what they term the
utter lack of discipline exhibited by
the high school students, in their DEM
onstration at the Sunday tabernacle
Friday, the board of education, or
at least majority Of it's members,
have expressed their disapproval OF
the students action. Some of the ex-
pressions thought disparaging during
their class yells, is likely to bring down
upon the heads of the enthusiastic
youths, sever reprimand. An effort
is being made by the board members
who opposed the permission to Mr..
Sunday to deliver his address at the
high school, to secure a special meet
ing of the board this afternoon Mt
which the action of the pupils last
evening will be taken up and possibly
disciplinary measures taken. Not
alone are the pupils in line for repri-
mand say these members, but also are
Superintendent A. w. Stuart and
Principal c. f. Reed Of the high
school. These latter are targets for
the wrath Of the injured members for
permitting the resolution to be passed
at school yesterday and carried out at
the tabernacle.
F. A. Tisdale of the board, when ap.
preached on the subject this morning
stated that the action Of the boys was
foolish and that they were undoubted
ly carried away by their youthful eX
uberances; that the odium of their
declarations did not rest upon the
members opposed to the permit being
granted Mr.. Sunday, but extended tc
the entire board, and he did not think
the boys should have permitted them
selves to be insulting.
Directors Reynolds, Hull and Dit

board, said in substance the same Is

Aberdeen VIII Have Centralized School.

Al the farmers institute, Wednesday
evening, the people of the Aberdeen
country took steps to organize CEN
tralized school district. A petition WAS
drawn up, literally signed. asking for
district about twelve by fourteen miles
in size. The district was purposely
made large in order to include the child
rem Of number Of families who live on
dry farms above the high line canal.
The territory embraced is as follows:
Beginning at the northeast corner of
township south. range 81, west four
teen miles to county line, south to south
line of county, east to river, thence
along river to the line dividing ranges 81
and 32, thence to point Of beginning.
The petition will be presented to the
commissioners at the April meeting.
and as sentiment is unanimous in fav-
oring it. the petition will no doubt be
granted.
Another petition was also circulated
asking the Aberdeen Townsite Com

pany to donate ten acres of land on the
south boundary of the townsite for
school purposes.
II is planned to erect a four room
building this year, allowing two grades
to each room. The building will be SC
planned that it can be enlarged as oc-
casien requires. The children living at
distance will be conveyed to and from
school in comfortable wagons.
The distinctive feature of the school
will be the teaching Of agriculture. This
is the reason for asking for ten acres Of
ground, so that small farm car be
operated in connection with the school,
This plan is working at Twin Falls and
is perhaps the most interesting and in
structive Of any subject taught. 1t has
a marked effect Of interesting children
in farm work, and in keeping them or
the farm. Too many boys, not being
interested in farm work, hock to the
cities to their regret in after years.
The people are to be congratulated or
the step they have taken.

FRUIT GROWING.
" va ALvoao.

Fruit growing in the early days in
this country was largely incidental to
general farming. Orchards were plant
ed by farmsss whose main business was
growing grain and live stock. In later
years fruit growing has become spec
ialty; The work has been taken up BY
fruit men who are specialists in this

creeks and streams furnishes another
means of providing limited water sup
plies for dry farms. During the past
few years \ large number Of reservoirs
have heen built in Colorado. According
10 the state engineer. sufficient water
wss stored in reservoirs in 1906 in divi-
sion No. 10 cover more than third Of
million acres twelve inches deep. The
chief purpose Of this stored water il TO
supplement the Aow Of the canals that
are short during the last half Of the irr-
cation season. II the Colorado irrigator
considers it paying investment 70 store
water TO increase his supply, the dry
farmer who eats canned vegetables the
year through. because he lacks water
to grow them, shos,Id not hesitate TO do
likewise. II seems 70 me that for every
reason that might be advanced in sup
port of reservoirs for water users under
q canal. two might be given in favor Of
the dry farmer above the canal. The
excuse so often made by dry farmers
that neither water nor good sites can be
had is seldom true. Such reservoirs
may vary in size from the small one on
the farm supplying water TO one or two
acres 10 the large cooperative reservoir
supplying water 10 small portions Of
score or more dry farms. As sources
of supply. there are the spring. the
small creek. the dry stream At flood
time. and the river. The cost Of stor-
ing water depends principally on the
site selected and the size. A small res
crvoir costs much more per acre irri-
gated. In the larger class Of reservoirs
water is usually stored for less than SIS
per acre foot. Under careful use one
and one-half acre feet will irrigate an
acre Of orchard or vegetables. The
cost per acre for this class would thus
vary from $50 10 $40. In the smaller
reservoirs !, would be more. This, how
ever. seems small in comparison TO the
net profits per acre that can be had
from such crops ms strawberries. toma-
toes and deciduous fruits.
American Falls press. [volume] (American Falls, Idaho) 1907-1937, 1908-02-01

this sum, when added to the expenses
for operation, maintenance and depre-
ciation, would be small, as a rule, in
comparison to the net profits derived
from Ave acres Of irrigated orchard and

spell-bound by some beautiful piece

of the finest things in the descriptive
line ever heard here. He gave it in
a most graphic and splendid manner
in spite of the fact that he was more
