cieCLiOI IOuHu Us Intensely Interested
! in having the right man elected re
! CARELESS of faction.
Our next section of work was t.
follow Systematically the proceeding
of the present legislature and VIZ
went into quite complete study o.
our state in preparation. We tool
| up the state as we had the village
deyoting our first session to the
4 United States Constitution and tt
answering the questions, What is 8
| State and What Are It's Powers
The next session had for It's subject
idaho" The papers were on: "The
4 Early History Of Idaho 1.-THE Later
History Of Idaho" ",rhe Mineral De-
velopment Of Idaho, "Idaho's Geo.
graphy."
The next session gave papers on
1.-THE Constitution of Idaho 1.-THE
Departments Of Government" The
/ Present State Officers State Insti-
| tutions."
BY January first we all felt much
| better acquainted with our state and
were filled with new enthusiasm for
4 it. The secretary of state and the
secretaries Of the various state insti-
tutions were most kind in furnishing
us material and we found our work
absorbing.
AT present we have subscribed for
the Boise papers and feel we can fol-
low our legislature with a more in
telligent interest.
| The club is only few months old
and has had no time to get d formal
year book, but we all feel that the
work has been distinctly worth while
and we hope that next year may see
our 33 members in colser organiza-
| ton with well defined course of
study.
If it is as interesting and valuable
to us as this years work has been
! even SO far, we will be satisfied.
Hoping some Of the other clubs
may be interested in this one away
up here in the mountains and that we
may hear from them in some way.
We are, yours sincerely,
The Good Citizenship Club of Kellogg.
