To Parents:

To Parents:
1. Sending your boy or your girl
to college Is a serious matter. 1t may
be for his everlasting good or for his
eternal undoing. Parents ought to
settle this question deliberately, cour-
ageously, prayerfully, and with COM
mon sense. Instead, 1t is frequently
settled by sentiment on the part of
parents, or by the whims of the child,
or by what some neighbor has done
or Is about to do, or by the seductive
sophistries Of some college drummer
paid to get students. How are you
going TO settle this question?
2. Is your boy or your girl old
enough to send to college? Is either
mature enough and fixed enough in
habits to stand alone morally, and to
do college work in the college way?
If not, by no means send either. The
average boy or girl sixteen years of
age has no business on a college cam
mother far more than he needs a col
lege professor. A boy at that age
learns to adjust a cigarette or a pipe
more easily than he learns Latin or
English, and to some boys gambling
Is more fascinating than Physics or
Chemistry. The majority of college
students are Industrious, of excellent
moral fiber and clean in thir lives
But on every college campus are the
derelicts-the id'er, the morally
weak, the vicious, and often the rep
rebate. Do not imagine that you
know some college campus free from
evil temptations; it does not exist, if
IL has any students. 1t is courting
disaster to your son or your daughter
to thrust either in the way Of tempt
alton, until old enough and settled
enough TO hope 10 resist it, DO not
bank upon the strength of your own
immature child; many another parent
has drunk the dregs of bitterness be-
| cause he imagined that his child was
unlike other children.
3. With the same preparation and
| equal native ability the young man
entering college at eighteen or nine
| teen years OF age will do more real
work i'm three years than the boy en-
| tering at sixteen will do i'm four years.
! At sixteen years of age the average
| boy does not realize the meaning of
his opportunities at college. He is
| unable to use his time or his talents
To the best advantage. Granting that
he makes a good record there and
graduates at twenty. he is not fitted
to take up the duties and RESPONSE
bilities Of a mature man. Many a
| mans downfall is traceable to a sea-
son of enforced idlencss between his
graduation from college and his en-
trance upon the lifework of man
A graduate twenty-five Is a man pre-
pared TO play a mans part.
A. Is your boy or girl prepared to
enter college? Is he just through the
ninth grade Of some school? If So
he Is not prepared to enter college
AT best he has but two years Of high
school preparation, and 1t would be
an injustice to him to send him tc

college. His place is in the high
school; keep him there.

school; keep him there.
5. Has your boy or girl completed
the work of some tenth grade? Per-
haps he has gone through the so-call-
ed eleventh grade of one Of our mod
ern educational wonders-a four
year high school taught by a single
teacher, giving from rs to 80 minutes
a day to each of four classes with
from four to six subjects in each
class. The grade from which your
boy comes says but little in itself.
What is the rank of that grade?
What is the rank of your school?
How much has your son or daughter
been taught? How we'll has either
been taught? What has each been
taught, and what has simply been
gone over. Has he barely gone be-
yond quadratics in a school Algebra?
Is he still in Plane Geometry? Has he
read three, perhaps four, books of
Caesars Gallo War? Is his knowl-
tering of names and dates gathered
from a few months reading of tie
subject in school? Is he unable to
writo a simple English letter without
misspelling and misung common ev-
eryday words? Then, do not send
such pupil to college. He belongs
to the high school You need not be
in doubt about what to do.
6. We have colleges and colleges,
then we have colleSetts. Hence, great
confusion exists in the popular mind,
and in the minds of some teachers, as
to what preparation for college means.
Besides it is no secret that not a few
colleges publish in their catalogs def
mite requirements for entrance, then
canvass for and admit to their classes
pupils who make no claim to having
done the required work. In the blunt
language of the business world such
practice is called fraud; in the refined
lanGUage Of certain educational cir
c'es it is called growth. Some college
can be found to take any pupil who
has gone beyond the eighth grade.
The college studcnt-rolls prove it.
:. Is your boy or girl anxious to
g. to college? Does he wish to go, or
must he be sent? If he wishes to go,
why does he wish to go? Unless
nc is anxious to go there FOR the best
that the college has to offer him, do
not send him at all. If he is going
there simply to have q good time, or
simply for the name of having gone
To college, ii will be little short of a

| likely to become an idlcr and a
spendthrift, if not worse. Unless you
are satisfied that he is able to do col
lege work and willing to do it, put
him to work. Boys and girls should
be taught to work, anyway.
8. Are you thinking of sending
your boy or girl to college because he
is not studying in the high school at
home? On what do you base your
hope that either will do better at col
lege? Is it reasonable to hope that
either will? One pupil in a dozen,
perhaps, will improve on going away
from home to school. Your child may

Interesting Record of Business in
County Offices for 1909.
Ninety-Eight Marriage Licenses

The prediction a few weeks ago
that over a hundred marriage lie

Idaho county in 1909 was not much
amiss. According to Jas. b. White
deputy recorder, it is learned that
there were ninety-eight licenses Is

pretty good guessing. Seems if the

posted upon Dan Cupid and what
his harvest will be.
Further perusal of the records
show that 4,98S papers were filed
for record at the recorders office
during the year and that the filing
of same brought the sum of aboui
$4,S42.21 in fees to the county cof

ably with those of preceding years
and are in accord with the general
advancement of the county in all
lines.
County Assessor Wilson states
that the exact amount of money paid
in for taxes for 1909 has not yet
been determined but conservative
estimate places the amount already
received at 100000 A compilation

ROAD 1t is said that traffic agree
ments have been perfected. The ter
minus OF the Northwestern is Ian
der, Wyo., and from this point it
would be an easy matter to build
directly southwest into Ogden. Utah.
And in view of the persistent ru-
mors that the Burlington controls
the Salt Lake & Ogden railroad,
more familiarly known as the Bam-
berger road, this might be the plan
OF Hill to get into Salt Lake City.
The possibility of Hill being at the
back of the Bamberger road has al
ways been feared, and perhaps this
would account for the friction be-
tween Hamburger, president of the
bamberger road, and the Oregon
Short Line.
The Burlington has an Incorporate
ed company in Utah and also a
right-of-way through the Emigration
Canyon railroad, of which lie Grand

has been suggested that the Burling-

the Emigration Canyon road, but ther
it is also rumored that the Union Pa
cific may come directly into Salt
Lake by the same route. as outlin-
ed in the Tribune in it's issue OF
November 13, last. The most prob
able entrance of the Burlington is
said to be over the Bamberger road.
"As for the line along the Salmon
river, this would form a splendid
connection for the Northern Pacific
and the Burlington. This supposition
is strengthened by the fact that the

from the Sound to the main line OF
the Burlington than the Northern
Pacific and would also tap terri

The rumor is also persistent that

SLEEPER TO COAST POINTS.

w. j. Jordan, general agent of
Northern Pacific, was in the city

business men of the town. Mr.. Jor-

service between Lewiston and Sc
attic, Tacoma and other coast points
is proving very popular. BY this
schedule passenger can board
sleeper at Lewiston in the evening
and reach Seattle by morning. The
route taken is via Riparia and Pas
co. This is a feature of great con-
venience to Lewiston and the pat
rons of the Camas Prairie road and
should be appreciated by the travel
ing public. 1t is by far the best con
cession the passenger service to the
coast has yet afforded.

THE COYOTES
Club is Formed at Winona to
Kill Beasts ts-Livestock
Has Suffered.

T. Nj. Atwood, of Winona, was in
the county seat on business yester-
day and reported to the Globe that a
determined effort to eXterminate coy
otes in the Winona country was be-
ing made Recently the residents of
the community met and formed a
Coyote Club" and elected Geo. Seay,
president and Mr.. Atwood secretary.
Everyone who joins the organization
is to pay the sum of 81 membership
fee. The fund derived from this
source will be uesd in the payment
of a $3.50 bounty by the club for
every coyote killed there. This sum
will be paid in addition to that Of
fered by the county, which is ST.
80. Combined, these sums make 81
for every pelt and it looks as If
coyote killing would be a profitable
profession in the future.
For some time past coyotes have
been committing destructive depre-
dations in the Winona country and
radical and immediate action was
deemed necessary. Livestock suffer
ed considerably from the attacks of
the varmints, young pigs having been
the most unfortunate to date. Two
or three men are reported to have
lost over $500 worth of little pork
ers resultant from the coyotes.
All the residents of the prairie are
invited to join the coyote" club
and it is hoped that the evil will be
stamped out entirely by the united
efforts of all the club members.

ures regarding atmospheric condi-
tions during the last month of 1909

for that time of the year the maxi
mum being Al and the minimum .O6
degrees. The total precipitation for
the month Is recorded at 266 inches
the greatest on any one day occur
ring upon the last day of the year
An exceptionally large amount of
snow fell, the report showing a fall
of 26.10 inches. At the end of the
month there were 10 inches of snow
upon the ground. Cloudy days pre-
vailed with 23 wholly so and 6 part
ly cloudy. There were only two clear
days in the whole month
December was a typical winter
month, with an abundance of that
kind of weather that delights the
heart of the schoolboy Men who
had stock to feed and hauling to do
were favored as the weather was
ideal for such purposes during the
month. Winter wheat is well cover
ed and undoubtedly in good condi-
ton.
AS result of the snowstorm at
the latter part of the month and the
first of January, sleighing Is fine at
present and although there may have
been many times in the past when
the roads were in as good condition
for sleighing, 1t is the opinion of all
old-timers that they were never any
better Much heavy hauling is be-
ing done and sleighing is the most
popular recreation of the day.
