THE LAW SCHOOL LIBRARY
BY the Addition of 5000 Volumes mt the
University Collection Unsurpassed.

By the addition of about 5000 vol
umes to its present library the Uni
versity of Idaho law school would be
absolutely unsurpassed in equipment
by any similar institution in the west.
This was statement made this morn
ing by Dean George d. Ayers of the
law school. Dean Ayers is bending his
utmost energy in the direction of Sc
curing this library addition and feels
confident that such an improvement
would be heartily endorsed by the Ida
ho bar and by all other citizens of the
state who are interested in seeing the
law school advance into the rank of
tions in the country.
1t is estimated by Dean Ayers that
by an expenditure of not more than
$4,000 the 5000 volumes could be add
ed. He believes that if the matter of
raising this sum were presented to
the. state bar the entire sum could be
scriptions.
The cry for more and better library
facilities has been taken up by the
students of the law school and they, |
too, have set themselves at the task of !
out system through which |
to secure the desired addition. The |
present library equipment is not only |
too meagre but many of the
books on the shelves are of little value
o prospective practitioners in this
state, being both out-of-date and only
emotely connected with Idaho law
Dean Ayers sees in the not distant
uture a great advance by the Idahu
chool. He is confident that the lib.
ary addition can be made within a
cry short time and he is looking for
yard to a still greater improvement
yhen at least two years of previous
ollege training will be made a prere-
uisite to entrance in the law school.

Promotion i'm Cuba.

ROME, Dec. 1S.-Following the re-
cent nomination by Pope Plus of Mon
signor Nouel, archbishop of San Do
mingo, as apostolic delegates to Cuba,
the Vatican today gave out statistics on
which the elevation of Cuba to the
dignity of having diplomatic repre-
sentative from the Vatican is based.
The three dioceses into which the
island is divided are said to have
Catholic population of 100000 of
which 275,000 are colored. This has
resulted in the province of Santiago
being raised to the rank of metro
politan see. The new apostolic dele
gate was for two weeks the president
Of the republic of San Domingo, but
resigned at the request of Pope Plus.

NO HOPE FOR JOBLESS MEN
Oregon Emergency Board Refused to
Authorize $4,000 to Provide
Work for Men.

SALEM, Or, Dec. 18.-The emer-
gency board today refused to author
ize the deficiency of $4,000 to enable
the state highway department to give
immediate employment to jobless men.
The board turned down the request of
the governor for funds to relieve the
present conditions in the state by a
vote of to 1.
The members voting against the de-
f1iciency said they did so on legal
grounds as they held the board did
not have the authority to take such ac-
ton. Three members of the board
urged the governor to call special
session of the legislature giving the
assurance that they would work for an
appropriation by that body. The gov
ernor asserted he would adopt other
means of meeting the situation.

recalled from the strike-bound district
and demanded the removal of Adjutant

WANTS RETURN GAME
Idaho and GOnzaga Arrangements Fail
To Agree on Arrangement Of
Practice Games.

The matter of securing a couple OF
practice games for the Idaho five with
the Gonzaga basketball team has not
yet been definitely settled, the manage
ments of the two institutions having
failed to agree on dates for the con-
tests. The Gonzaga management has
agreed on game for January 16 or II
to be played at Moscow on condi

them at later date in Spokane for a
return contest. Such an arrangement
is thought to be out of the question
owing to Idaho's heavy schedule

Spokane tomorrow and at that time
will make further effort to reach an
agreement with the Gonzaga manage

If the choir of st. Marks Episcopal
church has set itself the task, as seems
now probable, of breaking records in
all sorts of lines this season, it should
be well satisfied with the one it
smashed to smithereens last evening.
We have learned to look to st. Marks S
choir for careful and industrious study
of the best music and for the very
creditable performance OF extremely
interesting and beautiful compositions.
1t is no longer novelty to see and
hear a chorus of thirty-five persons
containing voices of exceptional quail
ity, produce programs that represent
weeks of diligent rehearsing. But the
last night was an even
greater surprise For even the least
skeptical of su scarcely hoped to see
so many persons gathered together in
jolly comradeship without trace of
or jealousy. 1t is the pet theory
Of nearly all of us that musicians in
general are pretty likely ito agree to
disagree" and that when they become
members of one choir, all hope of
harmony may be at once abandoned.
The innovation, for innovation it was

Swamped With Students.

'Dr. Edward o. Sisson, state COM

the association of state universities

DR.. Sisson says that more striking to
him than any of the papers read or

mark, made by professor in one of
the largest institutions in the coun-

he, is swamped with shoals of students
whom he cannot take care of, and
more to the same effect. Yet the peo
pie of that state are paying probably
not less than $500 year for each

students, whom the 'swamped' univer-

institution worse off than some 9TH

deplorable outcome of the rush for
'bigness'; when shall we learn that
