At the New Years dinner OF the stan of the
day night at Hannas the following poem, referring tC
There's salesman of class Billy Gilberts his name
Selling pianos for Sten has won him great fame
He's quiet and reserved a mouse the shelf
That's why Billy's in a class all by himself.
Roland R. Stewards another good pal
Who has sold Sten pianos to many gal,
Especially to school teachers pretty and neat
But now he is married and must needs be discreet
Reverend Mr. Martin. salesman of fame
Cracked out good sale to Mrs Seby, that's the name
Mrs Paddock a tough but she weakened when
Our parson had finished his tale with Amen"
John Bedworths a corker, and halls from n town
Where they cook real live oysters and crabs upside
down
But he's holding his own with the rest fast enough
For ability counts, and he's there with that stuff.
Albert C. Wuntz is a iuggler Of strings
Makes harmony out Of dscord and happiness brings
He's tuned old pianos and given them life
But wonder If he can tune up cross wife.
Edwin Maulden, tuner. tbs true
Yet 1 can't understand why he always looks blue
I guess he is courting lean suffragette?
And hasn't had nerve enough to ask her yet?
Miss Minnie r. Driscoll the belle Of the store
When work piles up high she still holers FOR
She's factor at Steifs nine hundred and nine
Some call her bright eyes for they sparkle and shine
Prof Charles w. Hopkins. who lives up in Chester
Wears frock coat and looks like a court Jester;
A lady once asked dear old Charlie to kiss her
He did II, you bet and sold her Fischer.
Lawrence b. Mcdaniel who ships all the stuff
Has fallen in love but that's not enough,
He's pinng away for his hearts full OF fuel,
He sure wants to marry Miss Bessie-his Jewel
Mr. Clarence wickersham. his nickname is JEFF.
He's bad-headed Mutt but he never gets left
He'd rather sell a piano than eat square meal
He never says Die and lands most every deal

al in its resources. Now it is as much a mental discipline to
study the marvels of plant generation and growth, as it is to
follow a train of calculus through the skies to even the far
thest star; it is as ornamental to know mechanics, and the
science of ventilation and sanitation and raising; canning or
curing fruits sor home or market, as it IS to be a skilled pur-
suer of the widest Greek or Latin root to his hidden lair
and It's infinitely more practical. Acting on the theory that
these things of real life are worth while, while the other is
mere mental rubbish, mechanics, domestic science, element
airy agriculture, and other worth while requirements are be-
ing added to the normal curriculum. No one can get a d-
ploma from these schools on languages 1000 years dead the
live things of today are the ones that count. The ~high-brow-
ed, specialized, anaemic teacher of a few years ago must give
way to the rosy-cheeked woman who is in sympathy with the
real life around here. when these ideals prevail as they are be
ing enforced in the Idaho nornals.
1t is not intended to make of these teachers trained mach
inists, or farmers, or hOusekeepers. But to meet the demands
of the age, they must know something of, and be in sympa-
thy with, the life around them. 1t IS lack of this knowledge
and sympathy that drives hundreds Of thousands of boys away
from school, and lands thousands Of them, aimless, unframed
and incompetent, in the vagabond class.
These schools cost a lot of money; the per capita cost for
students IS high. But the state, while importing hundreds
of teachers every year, can nowhere get them trained along
these better lines; they are found nowhere, only as they are
developed here at home. Like most things of real value, they
come high.
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1912-08-29

1t is getting about time for the state candidates to start
out on their real campaign for the votes necessary to elect.
The Recorder most earnestly urges the republicans to sit
down and lay out their campaign somewhat along the follow
ing lines:
Both therepublicana and democratic state platforms are
spineless, inane, platitudinOus commonplaces as alike as two
peas except for a few changes of name. They stick to I'M
supported selffehcitatiOns, and to axioms of little point. The
whole field of scientific government, of the rights Of men as
affected by the complex social and business life of the times,
is left untitled only a little fringe of rhetorical posies around
an aching void. There is more life, more sincerity for other
things than jobs and cant, in the Progressive state platform
than IN a score of the productions put out by the two old par
ties. The Recorder would urge every candidate to study the
things these other platforms did or did not say to think of the
possible good things that even the deaf and blind can see are
needed but not promised or noticed by the old parties--and
to go before the people shouting for some of these things that
are worth while.
One of the greatest assets of the republican party in Ida
no this year is the purely negative virtue that the democratic
party offers nothing better, either in personnel or in promise.
The general standing of their state candidates is probably not
up to the republican standard; there are some officers and
candidates OF rare ability and promise, though no great re
formers, on the republican ticket. About the only element Of
positive fighting strength, as viewed by a progressive people,
the candidacy of Borah and French--and the republicans
both of these. In face of these conditions, an earnest
personal campaign, based on the needs not touched by the
Know Nothing platform, might give the republican state
ticket its full normal majority.
The Richfield recorder. (Richfield, Idaho) 1909-1931, 1912-08-29

1t is not an idle boast to say that there IS no other state
in the Union that has gone farther than Idaho in the devel-
opment of the New theory and practice of education; pos
sibly not more than three or four are as good. The schools
of the country have taught a vast mass of useless junk, OF
vemties whose principle merit is that they are So based
chiefly on the educational theory that the acquisition of facts,
even though the- be unrelated, irrelevant or unusable, was
an education, a thing to be desired for its own sake without
regard to its bearing on the life around. 1t is probably fair
to say that the schools were feminized to the eighteenth cen
fury standard of woman's education; which, before the pres
ent far better day OF the professional and business and equal
rights woman, wasted itself on such ornamental though use
less study. Women have taught most Of the schools; with
the ages-long tradition that an education consists of stud
les set apart from daily life, they have insensibly influenced
the entire scholastic system into a path too narrow for the
world to tread. The appalling number OF boys who quit the
common or the high schools because they can there find so
little of interest for the real life they must live. is a vivid
commentary on the failure of the school system as we know it.
Realizing that with the spread of equal rights, and the.
opening Of SO many avenues of honest business as an alterna-
tive to a forced or unlovely marriage, the educational ideals
and the needs of all women are becoming as obsolete for wO-
men as they are for men, the idaho normal schools are reso-
lutelv starting out at the bottom--to educate the teacher, IN
theory and in practice, to a better system. This part Of Ida
no, for instance, is almost exclusively agricultural and pastor

THEY'RE WELCOME AT HOME.

Congress has adjourned, and the members have scattered
like thrifty squirrels for their homes, to gather what they can
of the fall harvest. In general, it was a good congress, and
it is doubtful whether the people will change the present
democratic majority. With President Taft, the active cause
of the democratic congressional victory, still running the re-
publican machine, it is probable that the democrats will make
still further gains.
But Idaho is one place where they won't gain an inch on
the congressional lineup. Borah and French have the best
cinch on their seats, of any two candidates in the country.
The waves of unrest, of suspicion, of political dissatisfaction,
do not affect them; they are anchored in the public esteem.
Last year, when congress adjourned, and a bunch OF trust
patriot senators were running to catch the first boat for Eu-
rope. to rest themselves and their constituents, Senator Bo-
rah remarked, ME, I'm going home, to Idaho. Can go
home, you know. And they don't save the oldest eggs or
the softest vegetables for me, either. Why, they're my
friends! Europe for those who must; me for homel 1t IS
true of both of them. They didn't have to come home for
the primaries--but they re welcome at all times. And no
political fever will change their vote.

LET THE MAJORITY RULE-Now.

From every present indication, there will be no more agi-
tation over division in this county. In the primaries, divis-
ion won by a thousand votes--a decisive margin. Most OF
the people of the county are pleased with the result: it is just
what they want. The three-county program takes from no
one anything he ever had, of present or of prospective value.
1t harms none; it helps maryland on the score Of efficient,
economical government, the Recorder believes it will help
all. Since it is not a moral question, where one should il
necessary stand alone for the right, but is a subject to be de
cided by a majority vote, the plan should go through with
out a murmur. If the legislature will give the people what
they have voted for after two years to think it over, the div
ision will surely come.
1t will simplify and expedite good local government, to
settle now the question that will make trouble until it is set
tied. Maybe we didn't all want it settled just this way--but
all are better off to have it settled this way now than to have
it settled our way after several years of the present disastrous
fight.
