lying principle might be termed liv-
ing for self alone. They do not care
for real religion, but are occupied en-
tirely with the things Of time and
sense. What they will a today or
what they will wear tomorrow is to
them vastly more important than how
they will stand before God in the
future. Their effort is concerned with
this life alone, and they live and work
and play as though there were no such
thing as eternity and nc such person
as God. They come to the end like

be merry. But he had laid up all his

taken from him, but he was taken
from them, and it is no wonder the
Lord says he was a fool. The class
under consideration are not neces
sarily bad people, for usually they are
tolerant of religion, as the people o.

Lot had was not very insistent. Whel

The second picture is that Of Lot, in
whom the half-and-half Christian il

those who seem to have, as the under

They trust their own vision and liv.
by sight and not by faith. Lot lookes
on the well-watered plain and, as fai
as he could see, it was the very thing
he ought to have, the very thing tina
was best for him. But, as God saw
it was the very thing he ought not t,

garden, and several other teachers
have expressed desire and an inten-
ton to take up the work. One dis
trict think deserves special mention,
not because of the magnitude of its
achievements, but rather that it
achieved so much under so great diff
ficulties. This is a small, rather iso-
lated district, with only about 10 pu-
pills. The schoolhouse is on a hill, a
considerable distance from any resi-
dence. The school, under the leader
ship of the teacher, and with the CO.
operation of the patrons, gave an en-
tertainment by which they raised
few dollars. With this they bought
good fence. The school board bought
trees, one of the larger boys plowed
the ground, and on Arbor day, the
trees were set out and school garden
was planted. When the children mad
interested themselves in the school
garden, the teacher found that the
"What to do at recess" problem was
largely disposed of. l might, add, too,
that the trees and shrubs were cared
for during the summer months. Very
often the most discouraging thing to
the teacher is to accomplish all these
things during the school year and

GEM COUNTY SCHOOLS
By BESSIE voNHARrEN, County Superintendent

The qualification for these teachers
is being raised each year uniformly
through the state After this year,
no teacher will be allowed to teach
the Ninth grade who has not had at
least two years work in college; to
teach two years high school work the
teacher must have had three years
work in college, and to teach in a
four-year high school, must be col
lege graduate. The standard of the
/ grade teachers is likewise being rails
ed and salaries are gradually advanc-
ing to meet the demand for greater
efficiency.
The school problem in Gem county
is essentially the rural school prob
lem. With the exception Of the En-
NETT Independent school district, our
schools are all one or two-room
schools. These small schools, with
their limited equipment and their
overworked teachers. have serious dis
advantages to overcome, but are
working toward the ideal--a practical,
attainable ideal, hope-of offering
to every country child just as good an
education at home as he would re-
ceive if he were in a city. That does
not mean the same education or the
same opportunities, but it does mean
an education that fulflls his needs;
that places him in sympathy with his
surroundings and gives him an appre-
citation Of their value.
There are two things that | am es-
pecially anxious shall be accomplished |
in our school work throughout the
county this year. One is that every
boy and girl within the legal age linn
its be required to be in regular at
tendance. at school throughout the
made much more attractive to them.
Many Of our schoolhouses and grounds
are so desolate to look upon that /
find myself unable TO condemn any
child for not having grown fond of
them. The uplifting effects of at
tractive surroundings have been re-
peatedly demonstrated. In schools
where teachers or patrons have sue
ceeded in creating an interest among
the students in the identifying of the
school grounds and pride in the
neatness Of the school room, a gener-
al moral uplift has been manifested
in numberless forms.
Some Of the schools Of the county
have already done some good work
along this line through the school

Walkover Shoes

Gem county comprises 10 common
school districts, 10 joint common
school districts and one special indie,
pendent district. Twelve of the COM
mon schools are within radius Of 10
miles Of Emmett The 10 common
school districts employ 26 teachers,
with an average Of about 80 pupils
to the teacher, holding an average
term Of eight months, and pay an
average salary Of SIS.
The three schools on the Emmett
bench, commonly known as the Brick
school, Central Mesa school and Han
ma school, are all two-room schools,
and all are putting in Ninth grade
work this year for the first time. Mon
tour, Sweet and Ola are also two-room
schools, and Montour has quite large
grade this year.
The Inauguration Of the Ninth
grade work into these schools has
been done, in some cases, with view
20 economy, and because Of an act
Of the 1915 legislature, providing for
a transfer of funds from the district
in which the student resides to the
district in which he attends school.
This new act fixes the rate Of tuition
at SO per month per pupil, or If the
High school maintains at least two
vocational courses "a per month.
Many districts preferred to offer
Ninth grade work and avoid this
transfer Of funds.
However, feel that there is
further justification for this step in
that it tends TO bridge over the break
between the grammar grades and the
high school This break between the
grade work and the high school mas
always been felt TO be so great, and
there has been so much emphasis
laid on the completion Of the grammar
grades that the tendency, especially
in the country, has peen for the boys
and girls to drop out Of school when
they graduate from the Eighth
grade" The fact that the compul-
sorry education law is operative only
to the completion of the Eighth grade
also lends itself to this idea ! be-
lieve that offering the Ninth grade
to these boys and girls at their home
schools will have a tendency to keep
them in school, and that as a result
many will attend the larger schools
for the later years Of their high
school work who would otherwise have
dropped out Of school on completion
Of the grammar grades.

then return in the fall only to find
that everything has been neglected
and the trees and shrubs have died for
the want Of just little care. When
our people once find out the import
ance of this work, and are convinced
Of the many splendid results of it,
they will see to it that some provi-
sion is made for the care of their
school grounds through the summer
months.
The school at Hanna last year gave

some sections wild flowers were in
bloom and seed buds on the maple
trees open.
March, 1915-March, usually
month to be dreaded, at least in the
Middle Western states, was similar
to an ordinary June at Emmett. The
mean temperature for the entire
month was 62.3 high and 34.4 low.

less than an inch of moisture falling
the total being 900. There were only
four cloudy days, the sun shining
bright and warm the other 81. The
warmest day registered 76.
From the state summary is learned
this was an exceptionally mild and
dry month for Idaho, yet not partic-
ularly so, excepting as to lack of
Moisture. During March the fruit
trees budded and bloomed, turning the
Upper Payette valley into fairy land.
Although the soil was drier than nor
NAL, a good rain came the goth, last
ing three days and doing much good.
April, 1915-The weather still con-
tlnued mild and tropical until the 29th
When sudden drop in the thermom-
eter was accompanied by the heaviest
snow fall registered for April in this
section for many years. There was
no freeze at Emmett, however, and
the fruit was not harmed. The mean
temperature for the month was 81.
Inc warmest day 80 and the coolest
80. There was a total of 1.1S inches
OF rainfall in April, % sunshiny days
and seven cloudy.

wonderful fruit crop that is now his
tory. 1t stated the "ss,uit trees are
generally heavily set with fruit"

The greatest joy and justification of
the school garden, the attractive
school room, the equipped playground,
the rural vocational club, is that in
stead of detracting from the efficiency
in scholarship in the prescribed fun
damental subjects, as has so often
been contended, invariably the moral
standard is raised, the love for school
is increased, and the general scholar
sdip average is improved.
Teachers meetings will be held
from time to time in different places
in the county. On November DIR.
Edward o. Sisson, the State Commits
sioner of Education, will be with us
in Emmett and will address a meeting
of teachers and others interested in
the educational work of the county.
At the same meeting Prof. Geo. Knipe
of Emmett will present his ideas on
the playground problems. We feel
fortunate in having DR.. Sisson with
US, and Professor Knipe has made a
special study of the subject which he
is to present, and the meeting cannot
but be profitable one to all who at

That interested people may have ac.

lions in Gem County excerpts from the
U. S. weather observer at the Emmett
station are given.
The statements and figures speak
plainly telling the story of equable
climate, little bad weather, no extreme
heat nor cold.
January, 1915-The mean temnera-
ture was sc above zero. The coolest
mark registered during the month was
above. The total precipitation was
0.76 inches.
According to the, general summary
for the state the month as a wbola
was unusually cold and dry. Tba
mean temperature was about 8 do
grees lower than in 1914. ONLY four
times in the past % years had pre-
clpitation been less. An unusual fea-
ture for winter weather was the Or
currance of a thunder storm the
nights Of the 18th and 18th.
February, 1915-This was warm
winter month even for this favored
section. The mean maximum temper
azure was sos and the mean minimum
Sl.o, almost like summer. The nre-
cipitation was considerably more than
IN January, being LAP inches for the
month. The very coolest day at EN-
nett only registered 21, that lasting
only short while during the night
OF the 18th. There were l2 cloudy
days that month.

learned that by the middle of the
month the frost was gone in the
