Complaints are rife OF decreased in
terest In Photographic societies and in
Photographic exhibitions. There are
certainly fewer OF the latter than
there were six or eight years ago. and
societies. II not actually less numerous
are on the whole weaker both in
numbers and in enthusiasm. In the
United States their numbers have de-
creased 80 to 90 per cent. at least. 1t
Ia easy to deduce from this a decay of
interest In photography and a lessen
ing OF the number Of amateur photo
graphers. and indeed. this easy oper-
alton has been performed. Simple de-
auctions on complex questions should
always be regarded with suspicion.
and In this case suspicion develops
into incredulity when 1t is found that
side by side with the degeneration OF
the Photographic society an increased
and ever increasing business is being
done in plates. films and papers

SCHOOL DOING GOOD WORK
H. H. Barton Says Industrial School
AT st. Anthony an Excellent
Institution

Pocatello Tribune
II cannot say too much in praise
of the magnificent manner in which
the state industrial school at st. An
thony is conducted by Superintend-
ent HUMPHREYS, said H. H. Barton
of Occur d'Alene yesterday, while
passing through the city on his way
home from that institution, to which
he took a young girl, committed from
the northern part of the state.
Cup in the Panhandle" continued
Mr. Barton, there has been some
complaint about the st. Anthony
school, which our people up there
persist in thinking is reform school.
1t is not. 1t is an industrial school
pure and simple, designed to make
good citizens out of boys and girls
who, owing to lack of proper home
influences, become hayward or in
corrigible. 1t is magnificently fulfill
ing its function in this regard. It's
training many boys and girls to be-
come useful members of society. 1t
is teaching them trades-how to be-
come carpenters, brick layers, masons
farmers, shoemakers, stenographers,
etc. There are no bars
to the windows or doors. Freedom
is allowed all students, and this is
resulting in intoxicating in the minds
of the inmates desire to be good
and do good, because that is the
best thing for them. They do not
have feeling that they are in Jail
for past crimes, but they are in
school designed for their especial
benefit. Naturally, some of the real
bad boys escape from the institution.
1t is well they do, because their fur
Their presence at the school would be
a contamination OF the remainder of
the student body. AS I said before,
the St. Anthony school is not a re-
form school-it is an industrial insti-
tute. There is need of reform
school in this state-an institution
which is half way between an indus
trial school and the state peniten-
tiary. I earnestly hope that the next
session of the state legislature will
take cogniZance of this need"
Well Known Educator
Mr.. Barton for a number of years
was superintendent of schools in
Idaho Falls and gave that town it's
first High school course of study.
Later he moved to HALEY, then TO
Warner, then to Occur dAlene,
where he was city superintendent
for two years.
He is a tentative candidate for the
Republican nomination as state
school superintendent, and before re-
turning to his home in the Panhandle
will visit the various towns of the
southern part of the state to sound
the sentiment.

went into meeting held by the
Christians for the express purpose of
breaking up the service. Instead he
became believer in the truth, and
gave good evidence of his conversion
by starting out to improve the deplor-
able conditions among employees in
the factory where he holds a respon-
sible position. With the aid of DR..
S. L. Gulick and Miss H. F. Parmelee,
two American Board missionaries, he
opened home for the girl operatives
where they could live more health
fully and cheaply, and at the same
time be under Christian influences.
He soon added night school for
their benefit, special emphasis being
laid upon instruction in morals and
religion. The factory owners became
SO impressed with the improvement
of the girls, in both health and con-
duct, that they have persuaded Mr..
Omoto to open similar schools in con-
nection with other factory boarding
houses.

BULGARIA's POPULAR QUEEN

One of the bestowed queens in
Europe is Eleanor of Bulgaria. She
has never been fond of pomp of
court life, but takes much interest in
various forms of philanthropy. She
has founded a home for the blind
and another for the deaf and dumb
in Sofia. The only kindergartens in
the city were started nine years ago
by Miss Elizabeth C. Clark who took
her training for that work in Boston,
although she was born and has al
ways lived in Bulgaria. She has two
of these schools with 76 pupils un-
der the auspices of the American
Board. Some of the little children
walk mile each way every day in
order to attend.
One afternoon there was quite an
excitement when note came from
the palace announcing that Queen
Eleanor was coming to visit the
school. There was little extra
cleaning for the august guest, chair
and handsome rug we're borrowed
for her use, and simple greeting
prepared to fit one of the kindergar-
ten melodies. The queen was very
attentive while the children sang
their welcome and went through
their regular exercises, and exclaim-
ed, How beautiful! l shall remem-
Der this as long as / live. l never
saw anything like it and have been
connected with many kindergartens
in Germany" The movable chairs
and tables drew her attention and
she contrasted them with the fixed
desks in German kindergartens where
as she said, "the floor can never be
clean" She remained more than an
hour and a half, asking questions
and talking with the children in such
a simple manner that one small boy
exclaimed, why, the queen did not
come after ALI" He had not yet
learned tY recognize royalty in ordi-
nary everyday dress. af

AMERICAN IDEAS IN MISSIONS

One of the striking figures at a
recent conference of foreign mission
boards of the U. S. and Canada, held
recently in New York City, was DR..
Julius Richter of Berlin. Besides
his erudite books on missions in
India, which bear that stamp of ac-
curate scholarship so characteristic
of Germans, he Is editor and founder
of two magazines and co-editor with
! Prof. Warneck of third. What he
said on this occasion concerning
American methods of propagating the
Christian faith in foreign lands was
very significant. The policy which
most widely differentiates our mis-
sionary societies from those in Eu-
rope is our willingness to put re-
sponsibility upon the natives, leaving
them to develop institutions along
their own lines, with as little direct
supervision as possible. Democracy,
whether in state or church, is prin-
ciple not readily accepted by Euro
peans, but Prof. Richter says that a
marked change of sentiment is now
observable among them due, in a
large degree, to the revolution in
Turkey. In continental circles it is
being remarked that chose Ameri-
cans have got hold of the right end
of the problem"
Our oldest missionary society, the
American Board, entered the Turkish
empire in 1920 and after a period of
only rs years had the courage to
place native pastors over some of the
churches. Many looked askance up
on the experiment, but the plan is
now generally adopted by American
missionary societies, though it is con-
sidered peculiar to the United States.
Schools were started on the same
basis, the teachers never intoxicating
revolutionary doctrines, but sowing
the seeds Of democratic thought in
the minds of the young men in Rob-
ert college and the various schools
and colleges under its care. An in
evitable sequence was free Bulgaria
and the new regime in Turkey today.
What the Berlin conference failed to
accomplish, what the chancelleries of
Europe discussed in vain for half
century, came to pass through "the
American idea working itself out in
the soil of native character, thus in
surfing political reform from within
instead of being imposed from with
out. Prof. Richter cited Japan as an
other nation where the democratic
principle, introduced through Christ
ian missions, had developed native
power of self-government in religious
affairs to an extraordinary degree.
He believes that leadership in teach
ing Christianity and planting it's in
stiutions throughout Asia is rapidly
passing to the United States The
opinion of such an eminent student
of world problems is particularly
valuable just now, when missions
are emerging from the stage of hos
tile criticism to place of recogni
ton as powerful factor in political
and social as we'll as in religious life.

IRISH MOSS INDUSTRY
Methods of Gathering q Well Known
Foreign Delicacy

A particularly choice blanc mango
is made of Irish sea moss. In accord
ance, with instructions from the au-
thorities in Washington, the Ameri-
can consul at Belfast sends the fol-
lowing account of the methods adop-
ted in collecting it and preparing it
for market.
"The plant Irish Moss (Chondrus
crispus) is one of the algae, and is
found in abundance on the Atlantic
coast of Ireland and on the shores
of Brittany, in France. 1t grows on
rocks in the sea, just below low wat
err mark. 1t is gathered by the peas
ants and spread in the sun to dry,
after being washed in fresh water.
When fresh it varies In color from
green to dark purplish brown.
The peasants bleach it to an err
tent by exposure to the sun and by
watering, after which it is allowed to
dry thoroughly, and is ready for the
market. 1t then is of light grayish
yellow hue. 1t is stated that the
moss may be bleached artificially by
the use of permanganate of potash,
but no one here knows any details of
that process, nor is any moss in the
Belfast market bleached otherwise
than by the sun and moisture, as de-
scribed.

be difficult to tell the satisfaction
and security friends of Florence feel
in the untold good the Home has
been to this girl and other children

Comfort for Cows.

Cows that are given the most com.
fort with iced and shelter are the ones
that produce the greatest profit. The
COW naturally likes to lie down for
rest while she is chewing her cud.
She will lie down in her stall, whether
it is clean and comfortable or not
Plenty of good bedding will make it
comfortable and help to keep it clean.
Arrange now to have enough good
bedding for the cows to last all win
ter. 1t is not only good for the cows,
but it absorbs rich liquids and is one
of the greatest means of making the
farm fertile and highly productive.

THE SKILLET CREEK FARMERS
CLUB

There was great deal of public
comment on the fact that prominent
men responded to the invitation OF
the Chicago Women's club to co-ope-
rate in the fight against the SMOKE
nuisance and for the identification
of the railroads entering that city.
But l attended club recently where
men and women work together as a
matter of course. 1t was the Skillet
Creek Farmers club at Baraboo, Wis
consin. 1t was at the time when the
weather man took us by surprise,
when one day the earth was warm
and lovely in it's autumn garb and
the next, snow was on the ground
and winter in the air. And so at
this gathering men and women alike
were interchanging views as to whe
Their the "freeze" had hurt the pota-
toes and sugar beets and cabbage.
And number of the women present
had that day, in the emergency, been
helping to get the vegetables gather
ed and stored against another cold
snap.
There was neighborly sociability
and good music; besides the farm
ers and farmers wives, the county
superintendent of schools, the princi-
pal of township school, and other
teachers were present There were
University students and graduates of
the Short Course in Agriculture, par
