Misses Agnes George and Hattie
Becky, returned Sunday from an
eventful visit with the formers par
ems, Mr.. and Mrs. J. George at
Kerby. The girls say they had the
time Of their lives, which included q
trip to the mines, necessitaing long
tramp. carrying packs, digging for
and actually securing some gold, and
a night spent alone in cabin, while
the owners were away from home.
Sleep was not for them that night, the
solitude, the darkness Of the night and
distance to neighbors required the un.
divided attention of each to bolster
up the courage of the other. In the
morning the trip was resumed and
any possible monotony relieved by the
sight of bear little distance of
down the mountain. The girls made
a record run to the next camp, but
dinner time showed that they were
all right and as husky and hungry as
miners. The young ladies say they
walked distance of so miles in four
days.

'WEAK SPOT" In OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM

A recent issue Of the Youths
Companion contained the following
suggestions, which the Courier re-
priuts..by request
Americans so constantly felicitate
themselves upon the excellence of
their schools, and are so ccmplscsnt
in the belief that they are the best in
the world in every respect. that such
an address as that lately delivered by
Am bassador Whitelaw Reid before
the New York State Teachers Asso-
citation comes as an unwelcome sur
prise to many hearers. 1t may be,
however, that the surprise Is whole
some.
1.-THE phase of school life and school
instruction to which Mr.. Reid di-
rected the most attention was the
teaching Of manners, ethics and re-
ligion, and he did not hesitate to
point out that in this respect not only
are American schools defective, but
that they fall below the standard OF
the schools of England, France and
Germany. All those countries give
their pupils a better equipment in
orderly manners, respect for law and
authority, the elementary morals OF
civilization, than do the common
schools in the United States.
"The causes which have brought
about this condition are not far to
seek. Fear of sectarianism is the
most important. Slowly but surely
il has done away with one after an
other of the old-time school practices
which tend to inspire respect for
religion and to incucate personal
morality; and the process is still
going on.
cat the came time there has been
a gradual introduction Of methods oil
teaching which rely almost wholly
upon appeal to the reason OF the
child, and not at all upon the exercise
of arbitrary authority by the teacher.
1t was inevitable that this point OF
view, having become accepted by the
schools, should be adopted, consciously
or otherwise, in the home; and so, II
neither place where the child shoult
find upon occasion, the unyieldini
wall of authority, does he meet will
it.
"Broad-minded persons who hsv'
the welfare of the country at hear
could hardly-fnd worthier field o
work than this. Prejudices will hav
, to be sunk, concessions must be made
but there ought to be intelligence an
common sense enough in the countr
to formulate some satisfactory syster
of teaching manners, morals and re
ligion in the public schools.

IDAHO AUTHORITIES
MAKING TIMBER TESTS

The State University of Idaho. 10.
Gated at Moscow. has just entered into
o cooperative agreement with the
United States Forest Service to carry
on a series of tests to determine the
relative value of the commercial tim
bers of the State. All the t. sts.-will
be made at the University in accord
ance with the methods used by the
government, and at least once year
testing engineer of the Forest Ser
vice will make careful inspection
and report upon the progress of the
work.
These tests will be of considerable
value in sscertainiDg for what pur-
poses and uses, the timbers of Idaho
are best adapted. Bridge stringers
will be tested to determine the fitness
of different species for the construc-
tion of trestles and bridges; the spike
holding power will also be investi-
gated to determine just what species
can be advant ageously used for
railroad ties and tests will be made
to determine the relative hardness,
which property is very important in
material used for paving blocks. The
Forest Service at other Laboratories
in various parts of the country il
making tests on important timberf
from other sections, and by co-operst'
ing with the Service the University
will secure results which will furnish
an accurate basis for comparing Idaho
timber with timber from other states.

A greet deal of money has been
spent in refurnishing and remodelling
this store, and the many improvements
recently made were the subject of
much favorable remark by the large
number of visitors who filled the store
from the hour of opening to the close
In the millinery Department the
changes are particularly noticeable;
here the ornamental oriel window,
situated in the northeast corner, has
been transformed from merely a thing
of beauty into one of utility and
beauty combined By the use of eight
heavy panel mirrors, a French room
has been created, that is the most
complete thing of the kind that can
be imagined. A lady purchasing a
suit, skirt, or other article of wearing
apparel, may step into the French
room and view the garment from
every possible position, reflected by
the numerous mirrors. If there is the
slightest defect in hang or poise, the
wearer will readily note the imperfec-
ton, and same can be corrected.
An expensive velvet carpet covers
the floor in the millinery department,
while leather upholstered seats sur
round the columns that support the
ceiling. A large glass suit case in
which ladies suits are suspended in
stead of being folded and wrinkled
is another piece of furniture recently
installed.
