MANUAL TRAINING AND DOMES-
TIC SCIENCE IN OUR PUB
Lie SCHOOLS
Do We Want Them?
Continued from last week.

The directory from the Superinten-
dent of Iowa shows that in that state
there are thirty-nine schools that
maintained Manual Training last year
and twenty -one that maintained Do
nestle Science. This report shows
that OF thirty-nine schools having
Manual Training, twenty-five intro
duced the instruction during the
school years of 1906 and 1907. Four
teen Of the twenty-one of the cities
accredited with having Domestic Sci
ence introduced them during the
years 1908 and 1907.
We can see from these reports how
rapid has been the growth of public
sentiment in favor of these subjects
being taught in the schools. The
State of Idaho surely does not want
to be left behind her sister states in
the matters of education. A reputa-
ton for good and UP to date schools
is one of the drawing cards for the
better class of settlers.
So far i have considered Manual
Training and Domestic Science as re-
CARDS their general ability as part
OF the school system Of the country at
large. 1t seems to me, however, that
there are special reasons why Moscow
should push forward these lines of
work. Moscow is not favorably stu

water power nor the natural products
such as lumber iron or coal. But on
account of the location of the State
University it has the best possible
chance to become an ideal education
al center. 1t Is along this line that
every effort should be used If we wish
to make substantial growth. Our pub
lie school system should have the rep
utation Of being the best possible,
and should embrace every attractive
feature in the way of grounds, build
ings, equipment, courses of instruc-
ton and teachers. so that 1t can truly
be said there is none better. BY do
ing this people who are looking for
a place to make home and educate
their children will find in Moscow a
place not only where the older child

training but where the younger child
rem can also have equally as good
school advantages. This we certain

was considerable enthusiasm aroused
as to the advantages it would be to
the town. People we're willing to do

Why should we not be equally liberal
in making the most of what we al
ready have to bring the same results.
Let us have with the above a well

good sidewalks, an abundance of
shade trees, well painted tasty dwell

evidence, thus prejudicing the jury,
is such a man fit for a judicial posi-

When Christian is accused of
wrong doing, and is innocent, should
he insist upon his innocence or be
patient and silent, and wait for the
facts to speak,
Paul was no doubt wise in refus-

equally wise in not insisting that his
trial be finished at Caesarea. and in

such receipts by persons attending

agent at that place will sell tickets

Then why do rational, sensible men

There is a question that is worthy

Why do you kick when things do

Is 1t not because you we're taught

the men and women you admired,
grumble and complain, or kick, when
things did not go to suit them, even

Maybe you had no thought of this

know to be right is to sim
