FORESTS WILL LAST MANY YEARS
Prof. Shattuck Says Idaho's Timber
Supply Unlimited.

Raw material available in the
forests of Idaho for the manufac-
ture of wood products~is estimated
at 10000, OOO,O 900 feet, board
measure, by Professor c. H. Shat
tuck, head of the forestry depart
ment at the University of Idaho.
This would provide sufficient
lumber to erect more than 7, 500, 900
6ve-room cottages and several mil
lion cords of fuel wood.
At the present rate of cutting,
reported to be about 10000, 900
feet a year, - Professor Shattuck
said in making the foregoing state
ment in the course of an interview
at Spokane, Wash. Idaho has a
resource in its timber that cannot
be exhausted in the next 40 years.
This computation does not include
the annual growth. u.
The present annual growth of
our timber is estimated to be more
than six times the lumber cut, and,
if the present policies are carried
out the time will never come when
the yearly timber cut will exceed
the annual growth of wood in the
state. T"
Professor Shattuck said the state
as a whole is yet in its infancy in
the manufacture of wood, the
amount of capital invested and the
number of men Employed in the
forests and mills. Capital invested
in lumber manufacturing plants
amounts to S17,s72, 47s, or SIS per
cent of the total investments in
manufacturing in Idaho.
The value of the lumber products
in 1910 was $40, 6s9, $40, or All
per cent of the total value of all
manufactures of the state; while Of
S,22O men employed in the factor,
les, 5,212, or 63.4 per cent, were
dependent on wood manufacturing
establishments for employment.
The wood manufacturing indus
try exceeded all others in Idaho il
added wealth, contributing 81 344'
532, or 5s.s per cent of a total o

NEW COLLEGE ENTRANCE RULES
High School Students May Now Escape
Rigid Examinations

University of Idaho, March 30
The faculty of the University has
recently made some changes in the
entrance requirements that are of
much significance to people inter
ested in higher education in Idaho.
The changes instituted are in con-
formity with the tend, noted in all
parts of the country, toward giving
high school students e greater and
greater freedom of choice in their
selection of courses. A common
criticism of high-school work has
been that it does not prepare stu
dents for life, that it does contri-
butte efficiency for earning a living
AS a result of this criticism has
come the impetus toward vocation
al training in the secondary schools
The universities, in turn, have
been criticized for contributing to
the former condition by insisting
on rigid entrance requirements in
academic subjects, with the result
that all high-school students have
been compelled to take certain work
as if they were all going to college,
whereas only ten per cent of them
do go.
Under the new arrangement ain
open door" is observed. A stu
dent need not make final decision
as to whether he will go to college
or not early in his high school
career. The entrance requirements
are such that one who has not
made an early decision has ample
opportunity for readjustment later
in the high-school course. Stu
dents who make late choice may
now enter college without having
to make up a heavy deficiency in
entrance requirements.
The action of the University
faculty in changing the entrance
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1912-04-20

requirements, is vigorous move
toward bringing its work nearer to
the needs of the high-school stu
dentsand 50 nearer to the people as
a whole. This action which has
been strongly recommended by a
committee of the National Educa-
ton Association win probably be
taken by the leading universities
IN the country.
The new entrance requirements
are as follows:
/. Entrance units have been re-
duced from sixteen to fifteen. A
unit represents years study IN
any subject in a secondary school,
constituting approximately quar-
ter of full years work.
2. Three years of English as
heretofore are required of all stu
dents; four years are required for
entrance to the B. A. and law
courses.
3. The necessity of studying
modern, social and economic ques-
tons is emphasized by requiring
one year of social science and one
year of natural science.
4. To discourage the tendency
toward dissipating energy among
unrelated subjects and in order to
secure coherent consecutive effort
it is required that not less than
three years work be offered in
some subject other than English
and also two years work in an
additional subject.
5. Not more than two years
of foreign language are required
for admission to any course except
the B. A. Course, and even in that
bulwark of classicism only three
years of Latin are required. On
the other hand nothing will pre-
vent a student from offering the
traditional four years of Latin and
two of German.
6. Except for students entering
the engineering courses the mathe
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1912-04-20

MATES requirements have been re-
duced from three to two years.
7. The new requirements pro-
vide for eleven out of fifteen units
to consist of academic subjects, or
those involving textbook study,
classroom recitation, allowing over
one-fourth of the high-school work
to be done in unrestricted electives,
either in academic or vocational
subjects. This change will give
ample opportunity to students in
terested in mechanic arts, house
hold science, commercial subjects,
or any other kind of work that the
best interests of the student or
local environment require.
