tiOns. At s o'clock as the strains of
Lohengrin's wedding march sounded,
the couple took their places beneath
beautiful bower of green foliage and
the impressive words of the ring cere-
mony were spoken by the Rev. DR.. An
derson. AS DR.. Anderson closed the
service and pronounced them husband
and wife, someone in the rear of the
assemblage pulled cord, invisible to
the guests, and loosened a quantity of
rose petals skilfullly concealed in the
bower above the bride and groom and
they were showered with the fragrant
petals.
The brides dress was of beautiful
crepe de Meteor and she carried an
exquisite bouquet of brides roses. The
rooms were very attractively decorat-
ed with profusion of white locust
blossoms and smilax. During the
ceremony Mrs. Carlson played softly,

No effort to educate the masses by
any heather nation, with the possible
exception of China, was even thought
of.
But with the Hebrews, the command
to teach the children began with Abra-
ham, expended into a system of gen.
eral education in the Synagogue in
struction, so that when Christ came
they had a regular graded system of
public instruction. At five a child
was set to study the Bible, which, at
ten, had expanded into the Mishna or
Commentary, and at fifteen into the
Talmud, an encyclopedia of science
showing, in many departments, an an
ticipation by the rabbis of many mod
ern discoveries. These Rabbins were
wont to say, "The. world is preserved
by the breath of the children in the
schools"
Luther brought the schoolmaster
into the cottage and laid the founda-
tion of the system which is the
strength and chief honor of modern
Germany, which system has spread to
Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Fin
land, and by which the humblest pea

which the country affords. So with

In America the first tax assessment
for public education was in Dorches-
ter in 1889 and compulsory educa-
ton law was enacted by the general
court in 1912. This was followed by
the first general school law in 1647,
which made the Bible first in the
course of study. In addition they

French, writing, arithmetic. geome-

RECEPTION FOR SENIORS
Faculty of High School Entertain
Royalty.

The members of the graduating
class were royalty entertained at Jew
ell hall on Monday evening, by Super
intendent 0. NJ Elliott and Principal
H. w. Jones, assisted by Mrs. Elliott
Mrs. Jones, Miss Enid Elliott and
Dana Elliott. The hall was elaborate
ly decorated in the class colors, green
and white, and with a profusion OF
pennants. In the receiving line were
the hosts and hostesses, Superintend-
ent and Mrs. Elliott, Principal and
Mrs. Jones, Miss Elliott and Dana Ell
liott. During the evening punch was
served by Miss Elliott.
Merriment reigned supreme through
out the evening. The jollification
took the form of a triangular track
meet by the three colleges, Harvard,
Yale and Princeton. The guests pres
ent, including the seniors and faculty,
were assigned to the colleges and
each college was permitted to enter
one contestant in each of the sixteen
events, among which were: far reach,
drinking race, peanut put, needle race,
devouring race, broad grin, gossiping
race, shot-put, feather race and vocal
high jump.
Amidst shrieks and class yells that
all but bulged the roof, and the wav-
ing OF pennants, most successful
meet was pulled off. Harvard won
the highest number of points and Sc
cured the prize cup-a large loving
cup made of hocolate-which was
broken up and devoured by the three
colleges.
After the meet delicious refresh
ments were served by the hosts and
hostesses. 1t was the unanimous de-
claration of all who were there that a
jollier reception was never held.

Inc condition presented to this
county by the opening up of wet ter
rltory across the Snake river is not
an enviable one and will make the
work of the local officers very heavy
There is little grounds however for
the belief that any saloon or road
house will be established near Sho-
shone falls on the Lincoln county side
for the reason that Jerome and Sho-
shone will want all the trade which
the saloons will bring and will not
favor such interruption of the booze
wagons to and from this city.

Insurance Companies Awaken.

over $25O,OOOOOO in death claims
were distributed in 1912 by life in
surance companies in the Unitel
States. This large distribution of
money is causing the life insurance
companies to wake up and to realize
that the protection Of public health
IS a good business proposition. To-
day a number Of them are engaged
in a public health campaign for the
purpose of conserving the health Of
the people of the United States. Such
little lessons as was taught by sci
ence at Pittsburg, Pa, where they
reduced the death rate from typhoid
fever by filtering the water, from
1875 in 1907 to SO in 1912, has caus
ed these business men to recognize
that prevention is better than cure,
and that public health is not a fad
for a doctor to preach. If it is a
good business for life insurance it
certainly ought to be good business
for the state, county, city and mu-
niciDality.
