about whose future we are so concern
ed tonight. So this building has many
associations for the pioneer in addi-
ton to those of house of worship.
In building up the commercial and
industrial interests of Caldwell then
the pioneers have ever had before
them an intellectual ideal, which l
think is one of our distinctive traits.
We hope to embody this ideal in the
institution of higher learning known
as the College of Idaho.
At the beginning of the goth century
Idaho is still in the pioneer stage of
development though most Of it has
passed the early stage. The southern
part in which we are most interested
is perhaps in the middle pioneer
stage.
The vast tracts of land just being
opened up by the great irrigation
scheme of the U. S. government are
yet to be made into fertile farms. The
80 acre unit and the cost of irrigation
insures dense population to south

representative of the Hazlewood
Creamery company of that city. His
company have decided to establish a
commercial creamery in this city, the

AN INTERESTING LETTER
FROM and ABOUT VIENNA

The following is an extract from a
letter written by DR.. Ed E Maxey,
who is at present in Vienna, Austria,
taking a special course in the treat
ment of the eye, ear, and nose, in one
of the largest hospitals in the world
In this letter | will try to describe
some of the customs of the people of
Vienna and of Vienna itself. AS you
know, Vienna is situated on the Dan
ube river, lying in a plain, surround
ed by distant mountains, and at an
altitude of between 400 and 500 feet
above sea level 1t is the capital of
the Austro-Hungarian monarchy and
the residence of the Emperor. The city
is divided into 81 districts (called Be-
zirke), and as we live in the first dis
trict or Bezirke, our street address is
preceded by the Roman character for
one, thus: l Ebendorfer strasse, No.
A, the house number following the
name of the street. According to the
census of 1902, Vienna had popula-
ton of 1,65O,0OO, of which 49, 900 were
Jews, and nearly $4,000 were soldiers
stationed within the city.
1T don't seem to be very definitely
known just when Vienna was founded,
but it must have been about the be-
ginning of the Christian era, for his
tory speaks of it's seizure and forti-
fication by the Romans in A. d. IA,
the first mention of the name Vienna
is not found until about 1850, During
the Crusades Vienna grew very rap
idly, owing to the traffic which flowed
through it, and the city wall which
was at that time (1251-1276) con-
structed, remained standing until 1851
when it was torn down, and on it's
former site we now see a broad ring
shaped Boulevard or drive entirely a.
round the old city.
vienna has figured in many wars
and quarrels and been bombarded ant
defended and changed governments
many times. After the battle o
Austerlitz (1S05) Vienna was occupi
ed for a short time by NAPOLEON, anC
we to-day have to suffer financially
from one of the customs established
by Napoleon at that time. He required

genuine Americans second to none in
their passionate desire for the best
education, physical, mental, moral, for
their sons and daughters. When the
College of Idaho was established II
years ago, there was not a high
school in this part of the state except
Boise. At the present time in every
town and village and some rural dis
tricts, there is a flourishing high
school, showing the wonderful devel-
opment of the country along educa-
tional lines during these II years.
In reference to higher education in
the state at the present time the leg
islature has established two normal
schools, one at Lewiston in the north
and one at Albion. in the extreme
southeast for the special training of
teachers for the public schools. 1t
has also established an academy at
POcatello in the southeast, to which
they hope to add two years college
course when the appropriations will
permit.
For the higher or collegiate educa-
ton of our young men and women the
legislature has established a state uni
versity at Moscow, 300 miles distant
from this part of the state. All these
institutions are cheerfully supported
by taxation in so far as the people are
able to do so. The part of the state
left without any Of these institutions
of higher learning is the southern part
in which we live. Consequently some
of the questions that confront us are
first, that the men and women who are
to be the leaders in our beloved state
in this goth century must have high
er education if they are to have their
share in the political, professional,
sociological and religious works of
the state. Second, we know that only

10 o'clock at night, and now if we are
out later than ten o'clock we must tip
the porter to the tune of 20 hellers
(about Az cents) before he will I'M
lock the door for u.s.
"One has to tip everybody here if
you expect to receive any service.
Even the street car conductors ex-
pect, in fact, make their living from,
the tips received from the people.
However as they do not expect more
than hellers or Is of cent, it does
not come so hard on us after all. The
worst tipping graft seems to be in
the cafes and restaurants, for there
one not only pays for what he has
ordered, but he must tip the waiter,
the cashier who collects your bill,
the boy who removes your dishes,
and usually also the boy who helps
you on with your coat and opens the
door for you. The tips increases
the cost of a meal about ten per cent.
"The tobacco traffic here, like in
Italy, is entirely owned and controlled
by the government. There are little
"Tobak Traffik" shops everywhere
throughout the city, presided over by
women, commonly young and not
overly attractive. Besides cheap ci-
gars and cigaretts, one can buy
stamps and postal cards, and lottery
tickets at these little shops. Lotteries
are run under the auspices Of the city
or government for the benefit of the
poor.
Everybody smokes here, the middle
and upper classes only use cigars and
cigaretts, while the poor man smokes
his long-stemmed pipe. No one chews
tobacco, and many of the women
smoke the cigarette.
Among the laboring classes one
sees women almost as often as men.
1t is quite common to see women
carrying heavy burdens on there back
or head, or to see them working along
side of the men carrying brick and
morter, shoveling snow or with the
street gangs cleaning the streets.
The newsboy, as we know him in
America, is unknown. Here middle
aged and elderly women deliver and
sell the papers. The messenger boy

then announced song by the Boys
College Glee club. 1t is needless to
state that the club received a gener-
Gus applause. The Girls College Glee
club was then announced. The au-
dience was not satisfied with one
song but persisted in hearing the sec
ond. Both clubs are a credit to the
college and will eventually be one of
the features at all college entertain
ments. Following the musical part
of the program, Miss Finney gave a
short talk on the financial prospects
of the college. Miss Finney ANNOUNCE
ed to her listeners that $4,000 had
been subscribed by the citizens of
Caldwell, $4,000 by Parma and Cald-
we'll, $4,000, by DR.. Parsons of Chi
cago, and $25, 900 by Andrew Carnegie.
This latter amount is conditioned on
that $4,000 additional be raised in or
der that three separate buildings be
erected. One for domestic science
one for an administration building
and one for the boys gymnasium
Miss Finney stated that DR.. Boone had
secured $4,000, and had other amounts

The Status of Higher Education in
Idaho at the Present Time.
In the early days of Caldwell tour
lists, travelling men and newcomers so
often made the remark that every
town along the o. S. L. had a distinc-
tive local atmosphere-and everyone
so different.
This led to investigation to disclose
the nature of the local and distinc-
tive atmosphere of Caldwell which
impressed itself on strangers-an If
possible, to discover the foundation
on which it rested. This foundation
we believe to be the mingling of the
real and the ideal in the everyday af-
fairs of life, and the dignity of labor
when viewed as the means to an end
and not the end itself.
There could be no better place than
this room to illustrate my meaning.
The very first coat of paint put on
this woodwork was applied after nine
o'clock at night by the then young
pastor, DR.. w. ]. Boone, and one of
