our school stands in the educational
records of the State of Idaho today
Let us not be content with this,
good as it sounds, pleasant as it is
to realize. Some one must forge
ahead. discover the forward path,

and united effort alone are required
to accomplish it. Let us join hands
on this one great question. and as
one solid, inpregnable phalanx take
the step upwards which will place us
in the lead and mark the way where
others may follow.
We have not the State Capital. we
are not the metropolis. but we can

schools in the State of Idaho as our
boast and pride. And with such an
exceptional advantage as this we
shall have no fear for our citys

else which we desire. and need will
inevitably be added.

uncomfortable, restless longing, that
we know that it cannot be Ger

schools curriculum.
Citizens of mountain Home, it is
with pride that we all point to our
public schools and say, Look at it,
please, it is ours. Such as it is, we
have made it." And then with a
just pride shining on our faces and
glowing in our hearts, let us, each

If there is a single town in the
United States where the interest of
the entire community is directed
more carefully and solicitously
toward the welfare of their children
than any other. l believe that town to
be Mountain Home. If you will only
take the time to study the history
of this town you will be surprised
to note how rapidly its schools have
grown. Every year marks some
much needed improvement. Fifteen
years ago a small three-roomed
frame building. surrounded by a re-
markedly healthy growth of sage
brush, was all we had to point to
as our temple of learning. Today
