Two Children Run Down by the Trail
Little Bodies Mangled-The
Same May Happen Here

On Monday evening as number
113 was going from Rigby to Rex
burg, two children walking on the
tracks near Thornton were run ovel
and killed. They were overtaken on
trestle and the little bodies man.
gled.
1t was light train, and no doubt
the engineer will be criticised for not
stopping the train before he struck
them, and it would seem that he
could have done this, though he may
not have observed that they were on
a trestle until it was too late
1t is a sad affair and one that is
regretted alike by railroad people
and the public, and it is we'll at this
time to consider whether the public
at other places do their full duty to
themselves and their children.
At Blackfoot one may see people
using the Short Line tracks for a
thoroughfare every hour in the day,
and children going up and down the
tracks to and from school, frequently
keeping the trainmen in anxiety
while they are switching. A bunch
of them walking together talking, be-
come SO absorbed that they scarcely
notice the trains and signals.
One of the most exasperating
things that engineers have to contend
with is children walking on the track
who pay no heed to the signals from
the engineer, and just step off of the
track in time to save themselves,
laughing at the smartness of 1t. The
engineer does not know that they
are calculating carefully the speed
OF the train and intend to get off,
nor does he know that they will cal
culate it correctly and succeed, vet If
he stopped for all these alarming
appearances he would be taken ad-
of until trains could not
keep to the schedule at all There
fore the train goes on, signaling and

TIE CITY BUSINESS

All members of the council were
present.
Mayor West handed in four new
maps of the sewer system, we'll fin.
ished and bound, furnished by sewer
engineer L. G. Kelsey, and stated
that telegram passing over the line
that day announced the death of Mr.
Kelsey's wife at Salt Lake City, and
members of the council expressed
regret that such an affliction should
visit him.
The minutes being read and ap-
proved, the council took up the mat
ter of meters for tho flush tanks
Mr.. Blenkle reported that the water
company refuses to pay the cost of
meters. 1t was decided to inspect
each flush tank and see if they can
be made to operate without any
leaking.
Mayor West reported that by
changing the plan of extension Of
the sewer in the Elmwood Addition
to accommodate the new High school
building they can make saving of
about 500 feet of ten-inch sewer
which would cost about dollar a
foot. The school also asks that the
alley be vacated through the High
school block, and the council was
favorable to II.
1t was ordered that the money left
in the sewer fund be divided equally
among the four wards for sewer ex-
tensions.
Sewer Commissioner s. E. Smith
reported that the back filling of the
sewer trenches has caved in in per-
haps hundred places and still con-
tinues to settle. He was instructed
to do all he could to keep signals
up at such places to avoid accidents.
Mr.. Biethan asked that steps be

SCHOOL BOARD ADOPTED PLANS


At meeting of the school board
held Monday evening at the City Hall,
plans were presented that were just
what the board wanted and they were
adopted. They were furnished by
Geo. Williams of Coeur d'Alene, Ida
no, whom the board got in touch
with through Geo. F. Gagon. Mr..
Gagon had made a careful examina-
tion of school building at Coeur d.
Alene and liked it so much that he
gave the Blackfoot school board the
name Of tho architect, with the re-
suit above stated.
The building will be about look
ia feet, three stories high, and will
contain an assembly room that will
seat ESQ people, gymnasium the
same size, lecture room with
sloping floor and elevated seats, a
laboratory, domestic science and
manual training department and the
usual business department, besides
the other class rooms.
Mr.. Williams, the architect, has re-
turned to his home at Occur d'Alene
to get out the working plans for the
building, end they will be in the
hands of the clerk in about ten days.

to appreciate the value of the work
that an honest newspaper does for
a community.
Suppose, for example, that for one
year all the newspapers OF Trenton
were to suspend publication. Who
can guess what the result would be?
We all know that business would
suffer, but to what extent? Bank
clearings would fall off, but how
much? How many hundred thou
sand dollars worth of trade would
be diverted from the stores of Tren-
ton to the stores of the larger cities?
How many Trenton merchants would
be forced to go out of business? How
many enterprises that depend upon
public support would find themselves
facing a daily deficit? Trenton
would lose in population, how many
thousands? The yearly income OF
Trenton from outside sources would
be reduced, how many millions?
And what would be the effect upon
the social, educational, religious and
moral life Of the community? How
would vice increase with the fear of
newspaper publicity removed? What
robberies and thefts would be dared
by those in places of public trust
when they no longer faced the risk
Of newspaper exposure?
How much less would be the IN
centive for achievement in civic and
humanitarian fields when it became
apparent that the public could no
longer see and applaud through the
newspaper medium? How would
progress in educational lines be re-
tarded and how quickly would civ
~ilization itself lose its momentum
and start on the backward path?
1t would be idle to attempt an
answer to these inquiries, because
the good that conscientious news
papers accomplish in a community
cannot even be estimated. That, per
haps, explains the apparent lack of
public appreciation. If the good
done by newspapers could be accur-
ately measured and set down to their
credit in understandable terms, the
work of newspaper men would be
lightened appreciably.
Moreover, If all the thinking men
Of the community would take the
pains to inform themselves about the
difficulties of newspaper work as ac-
curately and as sympathetically as
Bishop McFaul has evidently done,
there would be more charitable toll
france for the shortcomings of the
press and a keener incentive to strive
for higher ideals.

change column.

A TOWN WITHOUT NEWSPAPERS.

What would a town be like with
out newspapers. The Trenton True
American, in commenting on a ser
non preached by Bishop McFaul in
St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York,
recently, discusses this question in
an interesting manner as follows:
In a sermon in New York early
last Sunday, Bishop James A.. Nc
Faul outlined his conception of the
duties and responsibilities and op-
portunities Of the newspaper.
Newspaper men get advice from
many and varied sources. Nearly
everybody thinks he knows just how
a newspaper should be conducted.
and few man are backward about
telling the editors just what they
should and should not do.
1t isn't often, however, that news
paper men hear a discussion of their
craft from a man of such eminence
and character as Bishop McFaul. 1t
isn't often, either, that they hear
their profession or trade discussed
I ~ SAC IA cVC1uS " llAutI Sldllu
their problems so clearly and to ap-
preciate their difficulties so accur-
ately.
Evidently Bishop McFaul does not
believe that the newspaper business
Is q simple one Most men give ad-
vice TO Journalists as if they believed
that 1t was the easiest thing in the
world to deal successfully with news
I ~ am nRHh14--E UTb4- l.,
gins to talk in that strain, the ex-
~perienced newspaper man knows at
once that his adviser doesn't know
what he is talking about.
But the eminent Trenton Bishops
remarks about newspapers have been
read with the greater interest and
appreciation by 1.-The men in the
game because he makes it plain
that he understands thoroughly that
newspaper workers are frequently
called upon 10 face exceedingly diff
t1cult and trying situations.
Every newspaper man will appre-
ciate the compliment paid by Bishop
McFaul to newspaper men as a class
in these words
After an extensive study OF my
! subject, it gives me very great pleas
ure TO state publicly that I have
reached the conclusion that there are
many American newspapers and
newspapermen striving to observe a
high moral standard in their publ
cations. In the midst of SO many
temptations, inviting them to swerve
from the straight and narrow path,
these papers deserve the highest CON-
mendation. The individual in any
walk of life is never found perfect,
and as corporations are made up OF
individuals, they will be inclined to
similar defects. The most that We
can reasonably expect of our news
papers is that they will strive after
perfection
Perhaps the most diseouraging
thing about newspaper work is the
simple fact that the reading public
seems neither to realize the cri-
fees that newspaper workers AXE

MANUAL TRAINING AGAIN.

MANUAL TRAINING AGAIN.
Following the comment in these
columns a day or two ago on the
manual training exhibit held recent
Iy in Woodbridge, one of the pupils
OF the grammar school in this city
called upon the editor of the EVEN
ING NEWS yesterday afternoon and
presented him with a pen and pen
ell tray which the young nan had
made himself in the manual train
ing class in this city. The tray is
an excellent piece of workmanship
and shows what is being done by the
pupils here along this line.
We we're well aware that Perth
Amboy has a course in manual
training which will rank with any
in the state. There is no doubt that
much good is being accomplished
along this line. But the point we
wished to make was that as good as
the present course is, it does not
go far enough. 1t is not given
enough attention in proportion to
the time devoted to other studies.
In telling of his work, the young
man whose high class workmanship
now adorns the editorial desk, said
he was in the seventh grade and had
a lesson in manual training once a
week, occupying but a short time
during the day. He goes to his other
classes five times a week and puts
more or less time at study after
school hours. one month is the time
given for completing such an article
as the pen tray which we have be-
fore US. While no doubt this is as
much as the average school gives to
manual training, is 1t sufficient to
bring about the desired results? Is
it fair to the boy who has an inclina-
ton for the use of tools and a dis
like for books, to keep him at his
lessons five days a week and allow
him only a short time during one
day in the week to show what he can
do with his hands? We would not
belittle the books the boy has to
study in the least. Often a child
who does not like books at the out
set, will, under proper training,
learn to love them, and they will
be his best friends all through life.
Then, again, many a boys life is
practically ruined by keeping his
nose too close to the g~rindstone.
We believe the time is not far dis
tant when manual training will be
given as much attention in school
as any of the other studies. The boy
will then devote one period every
day TO his work bench and the girl.
will devote one period every day to
her sewing or cooking. The work
done in the schools at the present
iermo rs COCOA our there rs not
enough of it. All things must have
their beginning, however, and then
follows the slow process Of develop
ment. 1t is this process that We are
undergoing now in the matter man
nal training in the schools.
