1t must be that the fraternities have

Spirit Now.

The formation of an intercollegiate
debating association by several OF the
northwestern universities and col
leges without considering Idaho as an
even possible member gives rise to
comment which does not reflect much
credit on the school.
Idaho is one of the big institutions
of higher learning of the west. Deba-
ting and oratory are recognized col
lege and Intercollegiate activities. The
silver and gold is not mentioned when
a league to include the various
schools of the section and join them
in closer debating relations is talked

There is something decidedly wrong
when such a state of affairs exists.
The answers simple and easily ex-
planned but not easily excused. Lack
of interest is the cause of the decline
of forensics at Idaho. The college
should be ashamed that it has neglect
ed debate. There is no form of ac-
tivity which deserves more considera-
ton and support.
There: were days when such condi-
tions did not exist, when candidates
for the debating teams were plentiful
and when crowds attended the con-
tests and interest in them was rife.

 Both miners state that there is considerable excitement in the district over the big strike made by Major A. J. Pickeren on his Site Creek mines which had been individually developing for the past five years. The point where the big body of rich ore was encountered was in the face of the 300 foot tunnel, and that it was the most important min eral determination that had ever been made in the Hassayampa district was verified by many miners who had made examinations. The outlook for a producing district was never more reassuring is the report made by these miners.

THE SPIRIT OF UNREST

The standpatters of sociology com I.lain that the spirit of unrest among both men and women has now been carried to such an extent as to affect the joys of childhood itself One among them says that toys are no longer made to please children but to express adult discontent," that iu place of the pretty dolls Of former years we are forcing upon Labies q whole series Of ugly or distorted mani Ilins; mechanical novelties are substi- tuted for simple playthings; in place Of fairy picture-books there are hid eous caricatures
 This complaint comes strangely to a generation that mas done more te study and to improve the conditions of child life than any other three gen crations put together. It may be safe Iy asserted that never before were the generality Of men and women sO eager to give childhood every kind of opportunity for development, men, tai. moral and phy We have strong associations held together by no other bond than that of promoting the welfare of children from earliest infancy to maturity. Their thoughts and energies on behalf of the child run 10 everything from the Kindergarten and the playground to special courts and special reformatories for such as the law is compelled to take charge Of.
 Against such a mass Of increasing health, strength, joy and beauty in inc life of a child. g few rudely comic toys and ugly funny dolls count for nothing That complaint is made against them is interesting only as another evidence oi the perversity of Ihe standpatter. TC him everything new is hideous He cannot sec thar unrest means progress. It wakes him from his slumber and he deems it a nightmare
