First Meeting of Owyhce County
Trustees Association.
[BY PRoF. a. D. BRADFIELp. ]


The first meeting of the Owyhee Go.
Trustee Association was a grand success
from the standpoint of the interest and
enthusiasm expressed by those present
Only part of the trustees OF the county
could be present owing to The great dis
tance, still there was a well filled room
of people interested in education and
children who had come eager to see the
work Of the schools displayed on the
walls. Never did an event in which SO
many were concerned pass off with
greater harmony and good will and not
only the educators who came to deliver
addresses, but also all others present
expressed themselves as delighted with
the good time they had.
The feature which drew the children
and many of the patrons was the ex-
hihit Of school work done by the pupils
of the county, For months Mrs. Avery,
our esteemed county superintendent had
been ndefatigable in her preparations
to make this event successful one and
she deserves every one OF the high prais-
es and fiattering compliments which she
has received on the results OF her labors.
The day was most favorable one for
the occasion and when nine O'Clock
came, it WAS plain that holiday spirit was
prevalent. The DeLamarc ildren came
in a crowd, singing their school song
and giving their yell. It is great cred
it to the manly and ladylike character
ofOwyhee's young people that the ut
most good will prevailed among them in
their intercourse together on th,t day.
Realizing that the display of work was
not contest or show, the pupils seemed
rather to be of the spirit to learn from
others and praise the work of other
schools than to make adverse criticisms
and comparisons of each others work
At 0 80 Mrs. Avery opened the session
with the following address: No words
are necessary this morning to tel
you that you are welcome. The
silent greeting that is breathed out
through this work OF teachers and pupils
of 0wyhee county can but suggest tha
they were expecting you. On behalf o
the trustees, will say that we feel high
ly cOmplmented in having such talen
sent here to help in the problems of thiI
county,-educato who are representa-
tiyes of this great and up-to-date state
When the plans were being made fo
this commission Of education to visit tn,
different couaties of the state, it wa
questioned as to whether 0wyhee coult
be included. l answered that If an,
county has problems to solve and need
help and encouragement, 0wyhee does.
The making of several new districts, tn
bnilding OF schoolhouses, and othe
matters bring up problems which thi
county has to deal with at once, and W
are happy in having with us educator
who can help us to solve our problems
We will now listen to a song of welcom
by the pupils Of Silver City School,"
This song, "Owyhee Dear was writ
ten some months before at Mrs. Avery
suggestion by Prof. Bradfeld and set t
the air, maryland, My Maryland" w
produce it here as many of our reader
will be interested in song about thei
own county.
0WYHEE DEAR.

oping their own native locality. The
school should not SO much teach the
pupil to look for honors abroad as to
be happy IN his work.
The school should be the social and
civic center Of the community. This is
most needed in the smaller towns. 1t
should do more than merely educate
the children lit should be the center
of social enjoyment There should be
library where people could go eve
nings or at their leisure to read books
or papers. Attractions of various kinds
could be introduced that would tend to
draw the minds of the youth toward
education and away from the vice of
the streets. If this is done more Young
people will be kept in school till they
are ready to enter the state schools.
These schools are TO supplement the
work of the local schools, TO continue
the training begun there and to fit the
pupil for some particular line of work.
The chief function of the State Acade-
my is to supply technical training in
four or five lines. The agricultural de-
partment strives to teach how to pro-
duce more aud better crops TO the acre
and to produce better stock. The de-
partment of household arts strives to
make girls better home builders Car
pentry, Surveying, and Woodworking
are taught to those who desire efficien-
cy along these lines. In the CONNER
cial department training is given in
business and Office work and CONNER
cial law. The department of music af
fords instruction for those who desire
musical education

Within their depths is wealth untold,
Owyhee dear, Owyhee dear.
Fair mountain flowers here are seen,
Owyhee dear, Owyhee dear,
Thy meadows wave with living green

Thy valleys TEEN with golden grains,

Superintendent Meek on The
School and the Home"

SCnOOA ana the nome
Supt. Meek of Boise was next intro
duced. He began by some jokes and
pleasantries directed to the preceding
speaker whose debonair appearance, it
seems, made him the attraction of the
ladies on the stage "trip into Silver
He then took up his subject, "The
School and the Home 1t was form
erly too much held up to the young
people to strive only for the highest
positioas. Often would schools be vis-
tied by speakers who wouli look about
with pompous air and say, II wonder
which one of these boys will be presi-
deut some day" Such sentiment led
boys to scorn the humber arts and
strive only for high positions that
seemed alone TO have dignity to them.
This sentiment should be changed 1t
was the first task of Booker T. Wash
ington to give to the negro students
that came to his school proper con-
ception of what kind of education was
best for them,-that they needed an in
dustrial training and not knowledge
of the classics. They all wanted TO
take up Greek and Latin. They seem
ed to think that. somehow a knowledge
of these subjects would take the kinks
from their hair, the thickness from
their lips aud the color from their skin.
Later education is directed more to
the industrial arts. Girls are taught
dressmaking aud even millinery.
Schools should teach the dignity of
labor. Since only small per cent of
the pupils go to high school aud only
few of these enter college, why should
/ education train only for a college
course? Boys should be taught some
thing of the soils, and to delight in
clearing the sagebrush from the land.
The reason why more boys than girls
: drop out of high schools is not because
the latter have superior minds hut he
E cause the boys are more independent
They can see no use for them in the
subject taught and do not care to spend
} the time in study that does not fit
: them for what they want TO become
Often parent will say, a want to give
my child an education so that he will
t not have to do the work l am doing
e While this statement expresses the ma
] tural sentiment of fond parent fol
E his child's welfare, yet it sometimes
s leads to dissatisfaction on the part oi
: the child who might be able TO do his
t parents work better than he could dc
: anything else. Better might the par
: ent say, 81 want to have my child train
f ed so that he can do the work | am d.

All ericas.
There is little doubt that the Mon
roe Doctrine of the present day con-
tains much that was not contem-
plated by the President who first
gave it formal expression. Each ad-
ministration, in a crisis has tackled a
new meaning on it or stretched an
old meaning to greater lengths un-
til it has become a coat of many
colors, but none the less a stout gar
ment and showing no sign of wear.
President Monroe, in his message
of December 2, 1928, said: "The
occasion has been judged proper for
asserting as a principle in which the
rights and interests of the United
States are involved, that the Amer
lean continents, by the free and in
dependent conditions which they have
assumed and maintain, are hence
forth not to be considered as sub
jects for future colonization by any
European powers. We owe it, there
fore, to candor, and to the amicable
relations existing between the United
States and those powers, to declare
that we should consider any attempt
on their part to extend their system
to any portion of this hemisphere as
dangerous to our peace and safety.
With the existing colonies or de-
tendencies of any European power
we have not interfered and shall not
interfere. But with the governments
who have declared their independence
and maintained 1t, and whose inde-
pendence we have, on great consider
alton and on principles, acknowl-l
