MISS CHAMBERLAlNS's ADDRESS

The tribute paid by Miss S. Belle
Chamberlain to the excellency of the Mont
pelier Public Schools should be a source of
great qualification to the tax payers in this
district.
Her words rang with sincerity as she
uttered them, and such tribute from the
head of Public School work in the State
means great deal.
Miss Chamberlain said that no where
in the state had she seen more efficient
work. This is positive assurance to the
people who have been paying their money
for the support Of the schools that they are
accomplishing the task they started out to
accomplish. They are giving their children
chance to secure as good training at home
as they can get elsewhere.
Miss Chamberlain tribute did not stop
with her compliment to the teachers and
school board. She commented upon the
work done by the students. She remarked
that one class had recited without failure
and that she regarded this as wonderful for
SO large class. In this connection she
paid great compliment to the intelligence
of the boys and girls of the community.

Public school work in the state is of prime
Importance, and should be under the charge
OF some one who is qualified to get the best
results.
Miss Chamberlain has followed up the
work during her term of Office with untir-
ing energy. During the session of the
Legislature she was constantly working for
the passage Of bills needed in her work
How we'll her measures have succeeded was
voiced in the Saturday night meeting, by
the various speakers. AT the different
national educational conventions our State
Superintendent has been present and has
made her strong personality felt, and has
given Idaho forward place in educational
work.
AS she stated in her address Saturday
night, her work is only well under head
Way. The proper procedure now is to re-
turn her to the Office, and allow her to con-
tinue for two years more along the lines she
has started out. Idaho, already well to.

DECISIONS WERE FAIR.

James Devine of Salt Lake, acting in
the capacity of judge at the horse show,
made record of fairness and mpartiality
that commands the respect of horsemen
throughout the territory.
Some people were disappointed when
they did not receive the prizes they expect.
ed, but if they took the trouble to consult
the judge on the matter they usually re-
ceived explanation that satisfied them.
Mr.. Devine has made a scientific study
of the horse subject and is recognized by
hOrsemen of the nation on many phases of
the question. The tribute paid by him in
his interview published elsewhere in this
paper to the excellency of the showing
made at the horse show may be thoroughly
appreciated as coming from one who is
competent to speak, and the suggestions he
makes to horsemen are worthy of serious
consideration. While Mr.. Devine does not
mention any names he informes the Elk
aminer that there have been hundreds of
horses sold in Idaho and Titan by eastern
companies that could have been purchased
for much less sum. IF the people had
secured the service of an able horseman to
select the stock for them they would have
not only been money ahead, but would have
in many cases owned much better horses.

HOW ABOUT A CELEBRATIONS

The enterprise Of the committee that
had the horse show In charge has been re-
warded Every one who cfme to Mont
pelier for this event went away satisfied,
and everywhere there is praise for the
manner in which the event was handled
great good has been done by this event
because it shows the local citizens that
their efforts are appreciated by the people
over the country.
Montpelier is the trading center of the
territory in which she is located, and to the
business men of Montpelier the people look
for such entertainment as this.
It is not far away until the Fourth OF
July will be celebrated Montpelier is the
natural point for the biggest celebration in
this part of the country. The farmers who
favor Montpelier with their trade have
right to expect that we will provide
glorious celebration for them here on this
date.
The great success of the horse show
demonstrated that Montpelier can do things
when sac will. The people who attended
the horse show learned that Montpelier
gives everything she advertises.
celebration here would be largely at
tended and large percentage of the bust
ness men would welcome the initiation of
movement toward this end.
But whether Montpelier has a celebra-
tion or not the business men should get to-
gether and decide very soon. But little
more than two months are left until the
time is upon us. 1t is none two much time
in which to get the committees into action
an n f.olcn 1aofi NJ,
"a success of the horse show, but if we cele-
brate we must get an early start and make
the celebration greater success yet.

AS 1T SHOULD BE.

At the informal reception held in honor
of Miss S. Belle Chamberlain, Superintend-
ant of Public instruction, and Miss John
son, State Librarian, last Saturday night.
all Of the people present interested in
in educational work were liberal in their
praise of Miss Chamberlain's work while in
office. Lieutenant Governor Burrell pre-
dicted that she would be reelected. and
would fill the Office for another term
Miss Chamberlain should be returned
to the office she now holds. Throuo bout
the state the same feeling is expressed as
was expressed by the Montpelier people
Saturday night. Since Miss Chamberlain
has taken the Office of Superintendent of
Public Instruction there has been an in
dividuality connected with the work that
has never characterized the department be-
fore. The schools over the state are feel
inc the influence of the work she is doing.

In raisi G the salaries of three of the
county officials, who were underpaid, the
county commissioners have given the peo-
pie an increased efficiency in the admins
tration of the offices that is more than COM
mensurate with the expense incurred. AS
it has been the salaries of the three offices
raised were SO low that the officials had to
pursue other lines of business in connection
with their work for the county. Bear Lake
is no longer small county; it ranks among
the larger ones and should be conducted as
such.

HARD FIGHT TO
SAVE BABY'SEIFE
Little WlIIiamspOTt Girl Placed in
Incubator n Philadelphia.
WEIGHS ONLY z II POUNDS

Is TWO Weeks Old and viii Be Kept
In Incubator Three Months-Every
Effort Being Made BY Nurses and
Doctors to Keep the Little One Alive.
lt's Head No Larger Than Teaeup
and Arm No Longer Than Its Moth
eTs Little Finger.
Philadelphia, Dec. 81. - More than
$1,000 will be expended In an effort to
save the life OF baby which has been
brought 10 St Mary's hospital from
Williamsport, Pa. The little one IS two
weeks old and weighs two and a half
pounds.
The child has been placed in an in
cubator. and it is estimated that the
cost of treating the infant in the in
cubaIor Tor thirteen weeks will at least
reach the sum named.
Every effort is being made to save
the little visitors life and no money
Is being spared to make the expert
ment successful. The child was
brought TO this city several days ago.
Il Is thought that II the physicians
efforts TO keep her alive for thirteen
weeks be successful she will be able
to be removed from the incubator and
will live.
Little louisa, as she iss called Is
the child OF well-to-do family in Will
Transport. She came into the world
two and a half months before the al
lotted time, and has been the object
Of great anxiety on the part of the
parents, who have determined to do
everything possible that her life may
be saved.
The incubator is 30 inches long and
IS inches wide, and is kept at an even
temperature of S. degrees, by means
OF a Bunsen burner. The currents Of
hot air pass over a series OF wet
sponges which give the air the requl-
site amount of moisture. The baby is
bandaged in medicated cotton and lies
on bed OF the same material.
The process OF giving the infant
food is very exacting one. A teaspoon
full of water is administered every hour
and two tesspoonfuls Of milk are fed
every two hours. Fhe nourishment is
previously brought to certain tenn
perature. A medicine dropper is the
instrument employed to feed the baby,
the liquid being placed on the tongue
a drop at a time.
The incubator has been placed In
special room and special nurse. Miss
Margaret Noonan. is always by its
side. The mother visits the hospital
every day to watch over the welfare
of her little one.
The head of the infant is no larger
than a teacup' and its hand, when
open. would scarcely cover silver
quarter It's arm Is no longer than
its mothers little finger, The physi-
clans have every reason to believe that
the little one will thrive under the
treatment and that II will grow to ma
turity, with the strength OF a normal
child.
Plans for its first Christmas celebra'
ton have already been perfected. and
a tiny Christmas tree will be erected
and will be trimmed with tinsel and
all the good things that usually accom-.
pany such evidences Of the greatest
celebration of the year.
