They want to learn to live. and they

At the time the public school system
was placed on Y national basis all the
educators We're agreed on one common
IDEAL, which was that the schools must
be democratic. Courses of study must
be founded on the theory of the abso:.
lutte equality of all American citizens.
Therefore, the curriculum was ar
ranged as a series of ladders, leading
from the primary school to the gram
to the high school; from the high
school to college, and from college to
the White House
This was intended to be demo-
cratic program. 1t was, III fact, entire
~ arlstocrItic, since 1t redounded to
the advantage of the children of the
prosperous and the Intellectual classes
Fully 50 per cont of school children
never advance beyond the grammar
grades, and less than 9 per cent OF
high school pupils pass on to college.
Now IL truly democratic system of
public school administration would use
these facts for it's main basis. Since an
overwhelming majority Of children VIII
never receive ;s1y more education than
they get in elementary schools the pro-
per elementary school would be. not q
link in chain, a preparatory depart
ment of the high school, but complete
thing in itself; complete education Of
q very practical nature. It's object
would be to educate children for

It's Rexburg business is in keeping

and so long has the concern been in

sive engagements are necessary to
handle the trade rightly.
ENJOY CONFIDENCE.
No place of business in Rexburg en-
joys more confidence among It's patrons
than Van Tassel Bros, limited, retail
ers of general merchandise. The Rex
burg store of the concern is one of
the newest large establishments in the
city and it succeeded from inception.
Recognizing that much of the success
would be due to the careful conduct of
affairs in city where the buyers are
so cXactng, the active management
was placed in the hands OF Mr.. J. II.
Van Tassel. The latter at once sur
rounded himself with large corps Of

INQUIRIES ANSWERED.

One of Rexburs's leading real estate.
loan and Insurance brokerage firms is
Hyrun Kicks e Company. Also, this
firm is the pioneer realty agency of
Rexburg. The metropolis OF fremont
county owes much to the Kicks family
of pioneers and perhaps as much to
the present head of the enterprising
firm, as to any other member Of the
family. Hyrum Kicks, head of the
firm, is likewise ono OF the ablest jur-
lists in Fremont county and he pinned
his absolute faith In real estate in that
section When he engaged in the land
selling business.
Judge Kicks insists that crops never
fail in Fremont county because Rex
burg at least irfigatcs and his firm
answers all inquiries cheerfully and
honestly regarding improved farms for
sale. The books of the company con-
tain many splendid bargains at from
SO to $50 per acre.
In the same connection the agency
handles choice city property, both i'm
proved and unimproved. As a home
city there is no other place IN idaho
where handsomer residences are built
than in Rcxburg.
The firm lays particular stress on the
fact that land about the city is spe-
cialiy5 adapted to the raising of sugar
bbets. Interested investors will make
| a grave mistake In not communicating
with the firm of Hyrum Kicks & Co..
before finally selecting property any
where in the great Snake River valley.
Rexburg has no more ardent booster
than Mr.. Kicks and what is said of
him can at the same time be stated
with equal force regarding other mem
bers of the firm. Much of the inetrop-
Titan aspect of Rexburg is due largely
to the efforts of this firm. Nothing
which will enhance the value of city
property In the way of public improve
ments is overlooked by Judge Kicks.

gressiveness of Rexburg than the nam

LIGHTED BY ELECTRICITY.

Rexburs is splendidly lighted by
electricity. One of the leading COM
panles operating is the Iexburg Light
& Power company, which has been es-
tablished for five years. The plant OF
this company Is equipped for 300 horse
power and furnishes light and power.
Being the Oldest company in the field
this concern has by far the largest
business in Rexburg, and besides main
tans offices and supplies power and
light for Teton, Sugar City and st.
Anthony.
or course other lighting and power
companies have entered the same fields,
but the Rexburg Light & Power com
lpany is meeting all competition and as
the cities through which power is be-
ing distributed are growing rapidly
there is plenty OF business for ali.
1t Is q very safe assertion to make
that no Idaho City is better lighted
than Rexburg, Every home and bust
ness place uses plenty of electricity. OF
lato the down town streets are taking
on the appearance of all metropolitan
cities In that electric sign lights are
being feely used.
LEADING DRUGGISTS.
The Rexburg Drug company. limited.
is the leading pharmacy of that section
of the county, and 1t Is rated one of TIE
largest and best stores of its character
in Idaho, The entire management OF
affairs i'll connection with the COM
pany is left to Mr.. W. L. Kicks, one
of the Gem states best known pharm-
acists. Besides being the largest
store of it's character in ReXburg, the
Rexburg Drug company, limited. is al
so the Oldest in the city. Under the
careful management of Mr.. Kicks, the
company has built up Very large
business and the trade catered to ems.
braces Fremont county for miles in
every direction from the city proper.
