EDUCATIONAL
PUBLICATIONS
Valuable Bulletin Just Issued BY the
State Normal School of Lewiston
Ready for Distribution.

The Rural Department Of Lewiston
STATE Normal School has just issuet
two bulletins of special value to rura
school teachers. The bulletins arr
entitled (1) Social Activities for Rur
al Schools and(2) Seat Work fol
Rural Schools. The first-named bulle
tin deals with such efforts OF a 90
cial nature as may be made through
the schools for the purpose of arous
ing helpful interest and cooperation
between parents and teachers. The
purpose of the publication L. vel
stated In the fore word by Dear
Wooster of the Rural Department
Th9 fore word is as follows:
"The results of recent observa
tons of rural school teaching shows
a real need for more truly educative
work that the children in ungraded
or partly graded schools may do with
minimum of active supervision on
the part of the teacher. The numer.
Gus requests from teachers In service
for help along this line have demon
strated that teachers feel this need
and wish to respond.
At the request of the department,
Miss Addie M. Aver, supervisor OF
Rural Training Schools, has prepared
the following material for publication.
1t is hoped that this bulletin will
materially help teachers to make thei
seat work really efficient. The ex-
ercises here suggested are only types
and teachers must originate others
similar to them to insure continuance
In the work.
The second bulletin has been is
sued for the purpose of directing
young teachers in the management Of
the daily work of the school room
SO that less time may be wasted by
children not actually engaged In
class work. The material has been
assembled and arranged by Miss
Addie M. Aver, Supervisor of Rural
Schools. Her wide acquain.
lance with conditions In Idaho rural
schools has enabled her to suggest
very valuable aids to rural teachers
IN the management of the daily rou-
tine of school work.
Both bulletins will be mailed to
any teacher upon request.

A GROWING PROBLEM

The problem of feeding our rapid
ly growing population is one of the
greatest concern. While by natural
increase and by immigration our pop
ulation Is advancing by leaps and
bounds the average yield per acre OF
cereals Is decreasing. Evidently the
remedy must be found in more scienr
tific farming. Ii Dean Swift was
right when he said, nearly two hun
bred years ago. that the man who
made two blades Of grass or two
ears of corn grow where but one had
grown before was better than the
whole race Of politicians, it Is still
more true today. This is no reflec-
ton on the politicians but 1t means
that the problem of food is more I'M
portant than ever.

WILL COMBAT
HOG CHOLERA


Senators Borah and Brady, and Re-
representatives. French and Smith, who
have been actively cooperating with
DR.. w. L. Carlyle OF the University
OF Idaho in urging the Secretary OF
Agriculture to spend q good portion
of the appropriation available for
the elimination OF hog cholera, are
very much pleased over the action
which has been taken by the Secre-
tary in designating Idaho as one Of
the states in which active work is to
De undertaken. Fifteen districts
throughout the United States have
been selected, one OF which will be
the Twin Falls country.
The department will undertake to
demonstrate within each of these
districts that hog cholera can be COM
pletely eradicated. The District will
extend as far north as Gooding and
as far south as HOLSTER. Twin Falls
will be headquarters for the three
inspectors for this district. There
will also be an inspector in the east
ern part of the state and one in the
Boise valley and in addition a general
state inspector, who will cooperate
with the farmers in the various To-
calities and instruct them how to ap-
ply the hog cholera serum.
The delegation Is urging that the
ate serum plant at Idaho University
be enlarged and a government In
spector directed to remain there
to cooperate with the head veterinar-
ians until the state legislature meets
in January and larger appropriation
can be made available.
1t is not the plan of the Depart
ment to establish any additional Sc
rum factories at present as 1t is be-
leved that serum in sufficient guam
titles can be furnished from the Gov
eminent factory in Iowa during the
present season.

AID TO INTELLIGENT
STUDY OF THE BIBLE.
Sunday School Lessons Edu-
CatiOnaI to ALL

An illustrated Commentary on tho In
ternational Sunday School Lessons
May Be Obtained by Saving the Arti-
eles From This Paper-Handy Com
pendulum For Bible Students.
The Brooklyn Tabernacle articles on
the International Sunday School Les
sons bring out the instruction intended
In way which can be seen to be more
harmonious. beautiful and reasonable
than Is generally understood.
There never was time when re-
ligion was investigated as generally
by all classes of people as 1t Is today.
There never was a time when helpful
explanations of the Sunday School Les
sons were more needed. The Brooklyn
Tabernacle Lessons are the timely aid
for all They present the various frag-
ments of truth on the different sub
1ects in such language as best enables
all classes of readers to grasp the gen.
eral thoughts of the lessons clearly.
The Sunday School Teachers and pu-
pills who devote fifteen minutes of
study ordinarily. with the hope Of mas
tering their lessons, are often disap-
pointed; but to those of our readers
who will give just time enough for
careful reading Of the Brooklyn Taber-
nacle single-column article we offer as
surance Of pleasement and lasting good.
1t is the design of many readers to
save the Lessons for period of time
and then have them bound together.
This will constitute valuable and
helpful commentary upon Sunday
School topics.
The Brooklyn Tabernacle Interna-
honal Sunday School Lesson will be
regular feature in this paper each week.

A VICIOUS EFFECT

Public execution Of murders wal
abandoned because 1t was found that
such exhibitions created morbid
feeling In many of the spectators, OF
ten aroused misplaced sympathy fol-
the criminals, and actually develop
ed crime. So far from being a de-
terrent public executions had just the
opposite effect. In abandoning pub
Lie executions the plan was adopted
of having witnesses present, includ-
ing members of the press. The Idea
was good but the results are not sat
isfactory. Take, for instance, the re-
cent eloctrocution of the four gun
men in New York. The highly fea-
tured and nauseating detail OF the
proceedings given by the metropol-
tan press have had vicious effect
on the half formed minds OF many
youths In that they have been led
to regard these criminals In the light
Of heroes. Evidently it executions
are still to be held sensational or
detailed accounts of the act must
be prohibited in the interest OF hui
manity and morals.
