Agricultural Training.

Former Congressman Edgar Wilson presented
the diplomas to the 1908 class of the Boise high
school June 18th, acting in this capacity presi
dent of the Boise board of education
In his address he dealt with the progress of new
branches in the present public school system of this
day. especially pointing out music domestic science,
manual training, and commercial department. work
He admitted his skeptcism to the practicability
of these branches being made part of high school
currculumS before investigation, but admitted his
complete conversion to the proprety of each being
taught to high school pupils
Later in his address Mr. Wilson took the audience
into his confidence concerning as he stated his
"hobby", which is the addition of branch of agr-
culture to the high school course. This branch Mr..
Wilson insists is essential to the complete education
of a boy or girl especially in this country, where
the highest forms of agricultural development can
be easily obtained
Like the branches taught in most high
schools, as above mentioned Mr. Wilson would limit
the researches of the student to an hour or two
each week But the study he insists is an essential
and should be added
Mr.. Wilson will present his ideas to the next
session of the Idaho legislature in the form of a
bill, authorizing this study to be provided by the

RESEARCH SHOWS THAT 1T is OF
VAST ANTIQUITY.
Commonly Accepted as the Sign Of
Good Luck-Traces Found In
Records of Every

Washington The Swastika is the
oldest known symbol, having it's origin
in the cross and the circle. AS far
back in the night of time as we are
able to trace the records of mans life
on the globe by the sculptured re-
mains of temples and pillars we find
the cross and circle, painted on an
cient pottery, broidered on sacred
vestments, sculptured on ruined monu-
ments and figuring in the religious
mysteries of all races.
To form an estimate of the age OF
the Swastika we must look back,
archaeologists tell us, to the period OF
time when the pole star was in Cyg-
nus, $1,000 B. c., apparently that OF
the first conception of the zodiacal

Are the
Japanese
A World
Menace?.

BY ST. NII1AL SING


During and Immediately succeeding
the Russo-Japanese war the press OF
Europe and America went into costa
sizes over the prowess of the Japanese
soldier and the observation-disclosures and
strategic ability of the officers who en-
gineered the task Of graphing with
the Russian army and navy. Enthus-
iastic panegyrics were written re-
garding the sacrifices which the pa.
triotio islanders had made to avert
menace to their national existence.
Lavish praise was bestowed on the
wonderful manner in which Japan, IN
brief term of years, had modernized
and prepared itself to whip the occi.
dental with his own weapons.
During the last few months the
tenor of comments has considerably
changed, and In many instances edi-
torial writers are deploring the fact
that any fuss" ever was made about
the achievements OF Japan. The peo-
pie have commenced to remark that,
after all is said and considered, the
Japanese are ordinary humans and not
supernatural beings, and the Pacific
coast influx of Japanese immigrants
has created an extensive and inten-
Bive' alarm, and caused thinkers and
statesmen to pause and consider that
the Japanese aggressiveness, famed
into volcanic activity by the successes
In the Russo-Japan war. constitutes a
menace to the world-at least to the
Pacific coast of North America.
And 1t is not the occident alone
which is cogitating over the world
menace of Japan. The orient also
is displaying unmistakable signs of
being fearful of the menacing position
and tactics which the island nation
has assumed Of late.
Like the occident, the entire orr
snt showed unbounded admiration of
Japan's struggle with Russia. To the
orient the issues involved in the
Russo-Japan war meant more than
they did to the western world. The
Asians were enthusiastic and appre-
ciative of Japan's proving to the oc.
cident that an Asiatic nation was cap
able of using western methods of
warfare to defeat western people
and II possible the praise of the
orient was more lavish than that of
the occident. But, as in America and
Europe, the Asian attitude toward
the mikado's subjects has undergone
great change. Asia has become

Japan's career in Korea and Man
churia significantly shows that the
subjects of the mikado are following
in the footsteps of their occidental
ally. For commercial purposes rail-
roads, telegraphs, post offices, electric
lights, etc, have been established In
India, and few million of East-In-
dams have been enabled to come in
close contact with western culture;
but India has paid woeful price for
these features of modernization and
the benefits which have accrued to
India from them are merely incidental.
Japans political administration of
Korea and Manchuria may add these
and probably other features of civiliza-
ton; 1t may lead to imparting educa-
ton to Koreans and Manchurians; but
this will be incidental and for these
advantages Korea and Manchur5a will
pay most exorbitant price.
When the Anglo-Japanese treaty
was signed few years ago, the peo-
/ pie of India, who had expected that
the japanese would display Asia-for-
