and Minidoka projects is the best
piece of news which has been given
out to the public since the tract was
opened. Not that the question of the
priority Of our right has been in doubt
In the minds of those who have stud
led the matter, but the court decree
gives every booster a chance to make
telling argument in favor Of this
tract and its water rights. 1t prac-
tically means, with the abundant wa
ter thus assured, that the Twin Falls
South Side tract can appeal to set
tiers in a way that will bring them
here rather than to take chance
where a doubt exists. 1t means that
every settler can work out his prob
lem unhampered by any OF the ele-
ments of uncertainty that beset the
eastern farmers. II properly adver-
tised this one argument should be the
one thing that will turn the decision
of the prospective immigrant toward

that we pay our teachers, the country
throughout, are nothing less than a
national scandal.
This latter subject deserves a par
agraph Of its own, and the statistics
OF average salary in the forty-eight
states show some surprising con-
trasts. California and Arizona, with
averages OF 1913 and $S17, respec-
lively. set the pace for even New York
and Massachusetts,, whose averages
are 1913 and 1857. respectively. North
Carolina Is disgraced by the fact that
Its teachers receive salaries averag-
ing only 5000, and this of course
means that there are thousands of in
receiving far less than this
average. The average for the entire
country is only $485, which is less
than the average for factory workers
and common laborers. The fact that
teachers wages are lower than those

The settlers on the Salmon river
tract have finally decided to take their
troubles into court and get them set
tied once for all. Few people on the
prosperous Twin Falls tract realize
just how much the people on the Sal
mon river project have had to endure
and credit the movement to agitators.
But II they could realize just what
the actual settlers are up against in
that new project they would express
sympathy and admiration for the
sturdy courage of the men and wom-
en- who are sticking there in
the face of terrific odds. Those set
tiers are going through with the same
difficulties, over demanded payments,
that the south side tract went through

EDUCATIONAL RANK OF THE
STATES.
STATES.

A debt OF gratitude is due from stu-
dents OF any particular phase of pub
TIC education to the Sage Foundation
1or its pamphlet giving "A Cor,para-
tive Study of Public School Systems
in the Forty-Eight States" This debt
Is enthusiastically paid by The Dial
tCh1cago), which speaks of the nam
pniet as representing "what must
nave been an enormous amount of
labor" and for the first time present
ing in simple form what NAV he
called bird's-eye view Of nresant
conditions in all the essential phases
OF the subject" Many school reports.
as The Dial points out, are inexcus-
ably belated in publication. and .the
method OF presenting reports ia not
standardized" 1t has been, therefore.
extremely difficult to determine the
relative efficiency of the school svs-
TENS OF the several states in some verv
important matters" The first chart
IN the pamphlet now available shows
the children in school and out" in
each state in 1910. Ranking them in
IN the order of percentage of children
IN school. Vermont heads the list with
1S mot in any school, and Louisiara
Is last with AT. The first half dozen
OF this list are Vermont, Maine. Con-
nect1cut, Colorado, Iowa and Montana.
A comment printed in the margin
suggests that Vermont, Maine. and
connecticut. with more than 80 per
cent OF the children Of school are
actually in school, are making better
investments in future citizenship than
Alabama, Texas, Nevada and Loufsia-
ma, with IS to As per cent Of their
children OF school age not receiving
schooling" The Dial proceeds with
some interesting quotations and COM
ment from these tables too elaborate

suit the Salmon river settlers are
oDllged to fill cisterns within very
short period and to take the first flow
bearing debris. rubbish and dust
IN order to fill their cisterns. The
result is a milky white water that
most OF the settlers here would refuse
10 drink and, except in the irrigation
season, this is what the families set
tied upon the Salmon have endured
for the past two years. The Times
does not believe that the settlers there
are making anything but just demands

recourse, while the state land board

mately per cent Of what the larger
state collects. This represents a far
greater discrepancy than the relative
populations would warrant, which
makes 1t evident either than New York
exceeds its duty. or that Nevada falls
| short Of 1t. It Is interesting to learn
that local taxation supports the public
schools, from 81 per cent In the case
Of Massachusetts to only ~ per cent
in the case OF Georgia. It is highly
desirable that the local communities
| should learn not to look to the state
for aid for their schools, and in this
matter Massachusetts, Rhode Island.
and Kansas, which are above the 80
per cent mark, furnish examples that
the other states should seek to emu
late. Six states get from 10 to 20 per
cent of their school income from per-
manent land grant funds; allowing
for this, the honor list of states which
do not lean heavily upon state taxa
ton should be considerably increased.
But there is not much to be said for
the local governments Of Kentucky,
Georgia and Alabama, which call upon
the state to collect and distribute
more than half of the funds applied to
the purposes of the schools
No more "vitally important figures"
in this statistical exhibit are given
than those showing "the investment
in school plant, the expenditure per
child of school age, the ratio between
wealth and school expenditure and the
daily cost Of the child's schooling"
We learn that
Massachusetts has put $115 for
each of her children into school build
ings and grounds; Mississippi has
provided the munificent sum of 81.
This is the best available index for a
state of the past educational interest
Of its people. The amount annually
spent for each child Is from thirty
two to three dollars-in Washington
and South Carolina, respectively. A
note points the moral: In the long
run, states, like individuals, purchase
about what they pay for, not much
more and not much less For each
hundred dollars of wealth in the state, |
the amount paid annually for schools |
Is rs cents in Oklahoma and 10 cents
in New Hampshire. 1t would seem to |
be in order for the White Mountain |
State to quadruple its educational
budget without delay, unless it is con-
tent to be permanently shamed by

Indian Territory. Nevada. which

means cheap teaching. and the wages

There seems to be great deal OF
misunderstanding among the automo-
