Lewiston Normal

Lewiston, January 15th.-The
opening of the new year at the
Lewiston State Normal School
has resulted in bringing a further
increase in the already large en-.
the present time over two hundred
rollment of that institution. AT
eighty students are enrolled and
1T is expected that the total en-
rollment for l9l0-11 will be
three hundred fifty.
1t is a fact too, of further in
terest, that the average mileage
for the student body of the Lew
lston Normal is greater than for
any other Normal in the West
today. Last year the average
mileage for the student body of
the Normal at Lewiston was 119.5
miles. This year it is 1884 miles,
that is the average distance trav-
eled by each student at the Nor
NAL in going to school is 1884
miles. This mileage has been
reckoned on the basis of the en-
tire student body including those
who live in the city Of Lewiston
and who attend the Normal. Ex-
cluding students whose home res
idence is in Lewiston the average
mileage is about two hundred and
twenty miles.
OF the students whose homes
are outside of Lewiston, many
come from not only various sec
tions of Idaho, both north and
south, but from other states as
well. The following towns in l.
daho are represented at the Nor
NAL by from one to nine studen: It

fino, Southwick, Laclede, Rupert,

Baptists Hold Conference

The Missionary Conferences
held at the Baptist church were
a fitting climax to the special
meetings.
The studies and addresses COM
bined in a remarkable way the
educational and the inspirational
reaching a climax in the truly
wonderful address given by Rev.
F. T. Bradshaw of West China,
in response to questions which
had been previously submitted.
Mr.. Bradshaw has spent seven
teen years in China and has made
it his business to study condi-
tions in that great empire, and
he, in common with other stu
dents Of the young, awaking
giant, expresses the conviction
that inside of fifty years, China
will lead the world, intellectually,
commercially, industrially, and it
rests with the Christian Church
to say whether that leadership
shall be Christian or Pagan.
When civilization becomes
weak and effete it is compelled
to give way before the stronger
tide. Now is the time to give
to this future leader of the ma
tions those Christian principles
which underlie all true great
ness.

STRAY TOPICS

NEW YORK. Sept 2.-The worl6 seems to have gone speed-crazy. It began with the bicycle, took a tre- mendous bound when automobiles came into use and positively sur passed the sanity-line after the intro duction If aeroplanes. Speed-sUeed to break speed records. seems to be the sole aim in life of thousands who daily sacrifice or al least endaH- ger their own lives and those of other persons, not at all interested in break ing speed records, by racing their automobiles or aeroplanes through space with the velocity Of a hurri- cane. In their mad desire to make the utmost speed automobilists disre- gard the laws, take the most desper- afe risks and wantonly destroy the lives of other human beings. The daily list of accidents and deaths caused by the speed mania and recklessness of automC bilists is appalling and the law seems to be powerless to put a stop to it. It is true that occasionally Q few of the offending automobilists are arrested. but they seem 10 consid- CT that merely as one of the annoying features of the sport The fine which tliey have to pay is a trivial matter and they grumble only because they were checked in their mad rush. tn view of the unreasonably large num- her Of sDeed limit violations within rhe limits of Greater New York the convictIon Is gaining ground that change of speed laws is not only de sirable but absolutely necessary. The Denalty for such violations should be imprisonment. not mere fine. Any man who races through the public streets Of 8 densely populated city IS potential slayer and should be pun ished as such On the same theory that an armed burglar is considered by the law a potential murderer.

good or evil, we are ever building ol
 losing character.
 The evil as well as good is perpet lated to pOsterity, among the busy scenes of life, the pleasures, toils and cares we exercise and infiuencC for good or otherwise, for we are the ideal of someone who rise or fall witt us The more important the position We hold in life, the greater the in fiuence.
 Let anyone trace in memory the progress of his life and learn how much the influence of asso ciatior shaped his course. Memory, that faith ful monitor, recalls the existence ol the past to a mind now imbued per haps with finer feelings, with sternCi conceptions of justice than when it enacted deeds that punish b. theiI recollection. I recall such a one. Il was the only gamble in the life Of a noble man. While accociated with a party of gentlemen at a country faiI the incident entirely passed his mind Some years later the downward course of a friends son attracted his atten- ton, and upon inquiry, found the  young man had witnessed that one act of the man whom he. of all others, most admired. He followed the exam pie and 1t wrought his ruin.
 The strong. as well as the. less ia vored, are swayed by the little things of life more than we are aware, and we often yield despite our better judg- ment. We call our sorrow fate, and our success destiny; and it is true we are often the creatures of circumstan- ces. But with elf-goyernment and the courage to do right. we can look upon he past with a sense of pride, and with courage for the future, for it take courage to meet this difficult world 10 climb the ladder of life that saps our patience, energy and strength and at last with many of us, our health.
