SCHOOL BOARD
 HEARS REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT
INCREASE IN PUPILS IN TEACH
 FRS AND IN EFFICIENCY.

Nothing but routine matters came up for attention last evening at the meeting of the Board of Education. Bills to the amount of $43,099.66 were presented and ordered paid. This amount includes the salaries of teachers, janitOrS and clerks.
 The report of Superintendent Deane showed a total registration for the four weeks ending last Friday of 13,421, an increase of 643 over the same period last year. The average daily attendance was 12, 1901, an in- crease of 567 over the same period last season. There are BPS teachers, an increase of 10 over this time last season. The Superintendents report also included recommendation that one of the windows in Room 19 of the Prospect street school be changed to double window to have more available light. The matter was re- ferred to the building committee.
 Th$ superintendent also reported that considerable trouble is found with the heating of the Grand street school. There are three hot air fur naces at this school, but he did not think this mum Der was adequate. The
 matter was referred to the committee on supplies with power to obtain bids and go ahead with the work, as the heating was necessary while the board would not meet for another month. MT. Deane stated that in the days that had been really cold of late he had made a tour of inspection of all the schools in the city and found heating condition most favorable.
 The Board voted to draw a check for $560 and costs in favor of Archi- tect Southey for a judgment given by the Superior Court in suit for com mission for plans to the alterations at the Prospect street school. The
 board had refused to pay the bill on the grounds that it was excessive. Soutlley asked for s1,250 and sued for $1,500. The board wanted to com promise with Southey, agreeing to give him $500. The session of the board only lasted 15 minutes.

KERSHAW'S VIEWS

 SABBATH

Advocating a departure from the trend towards a Puritanical Sabbath, Police Commissioner James H. Ker- shaw, a speaker before the Brother hood of the Washington Park NJ. F.. church, last evering pointed out the benefits of Sunday baseball. urged the innocent amusement to be derived from Sunday band concerts and suggested the possibility of securing the armory for Sunday mass meetings where speakers irrespective of creed might discuss topics of common interest.
 Mir. KershaW paid a nigh tribute to Supt. Birmingham of the police de- partment. whose integrity, he said, could be banked upon. He dwelt at length on his personal experience in the work of the department, and said it gave him pleasure to know that the new administration was 60 insist upon an impartial and strict observance of the law.
 He held the closest attention. deliv- ering his address more in the form of an informal talk. than a speech. At the close he was given rising vote of thanks.

William James Sidis, eleven-year-old son of Dr. Boris Sidis, one of the fore most psychologists of the country, re- gently delivered a lecture before the distinguished mathematical professors of Harvard at Conant hall on the fourth dimension. Men of learning g who have spent all their lives in fath- oming the mysteries of higher ymathe- matics listened in wonder as the boy spoke of theorems in many cases hitherto unknown to them. Many of them frankly confessed their ignor- ance of things of which the boy talk ed glibly, and again and again they called on him to explain anew some of his propositions. The explanations were given as readily as the lecture, and on no occasion was the boy at a loss for an intelligent answer

The Value of Health

Health is the most important OF all
human assets. 1t is better than
money in the bank; in fact. it may be
considered a deposit in the bank of
human life. 1t represents a capital
that is capable of being turned into
resources of any sort, although to be
sure we don't usually realize its val
ne until we are compelled to do with
out it for a short period.
To those who have felt the pangs
of sickness and the tortures of weak
ness 1t is needless to dwell upon the
value of health. They know its val
ne. They appreciate it to its fullest
extent. But to those who have not
experienced severe physical suffering
let me emphasize the very great value
of superb vitality and robust health.
II one and all possessed a thor
ongh knowledge of th-building.
hospitals and sanitariums would soon
be needless, and along with the clos
Ing of these institutions would come
the passing of the jails, the insane
asylums, and, last but not least, the
disappearance Of great part of the
misery which a large part of the hu.
man race is compelled to endure be-

Candidate for County Clerk.

The direct primary plan was intro
duced into Idaho by law of the last
legislature, in the hope and belief,
that by bringing the nomination and
election of State and County officers
directly to the hands of the people,
better. more capable and more eff
Gient officers would be elected. The
Republicans of Canyon county are to
be congratulated upon the excellent
array of men who have presented
themselves for nomination. 1t would
be impossible to nominate a poor
ticket from the men to be voted upon
at the primaries. However, The
Tribune would direct particular at
tention to one of the men seeking the
Court. We refer to Judge C. ].
ShOrb. For seventeen years Mr.
Shorb was associated with The Trib-
une and its publisher in one capacity
or another. During that time he was
always found absolutely reliable,
strictly honest and unusually capable.
He was always hard working, ener-
getic and industrious man While
he was connected with this paper he
was elected clerk and police judge.
He has filled the position several
terms with complete satisfaction to
the people of Caldwell He is con-
sidered so valuable that the argument
is being freely used that Caldwell
cannot afford to lose him, and that he
should be retained in the service of
the city. We are inclined to think
that Caldwell will not secure another
clerk of such ability and usefulness
for many years to come.
Mr.. Shorb is right on every propo-
sition. He joined the Republican
party in 1896, when proselytes were
as scarce as hens teeth. Ever since
1896 he has been identified with the
party. Twelve or fifteen years ago
he associated himself with the tenn
perance people in the organization Of
Good Templar lodges in this state.
BY pen and act he has helped further
the temperance sentiment in every
way possible, and to him great credit
is due for the very present satisfact-
ory condition in Canyon county.
In short Mr.. Shorb has made good.
He Is highly capable He has had
the experience. He would strengthen
the Republican ticket if nominated.
He would make a good official If
elected. The Tribune urges the Re
publicans of Canyon County to nomi-
nate Mr.. Shorb for this most import
ant office.

Judge Was Probably Right, Though

A Chicago wine agent went on
yachting trip with a judge from the
same city. They were out together tor
two weeks and had a good time.
When they returned the agent was
much upset to find himself summoned
on jury, but cheered up when ne dis.
covered tine judge on the bench was
his late yachting companion.
He hurried to the court and pleaded
business pressure as a reason for an
excuse for him.
What is your buslness?" the judge
inquired of him coldly.

But it got ont at last and they were
