the bank of Grant of $4,000, Cashier

THE SCHOOL HOUSE

The community assumes a serious
responsibility when it takes the child
away from the woods and fields and
shuts it up for the better part of the
fall and winter and springs days in the
large box which we call schoolhouse.
The least we can do as citizens is to
see that the conditions under which
we keep the child in this artificial en-
vironment are made as little harmful
as possible.
The first and one of the most i'm
portant ways in which the health nj
the school child is often menaced is
by Overheating and underventilating.
If the temperature of the classroom is
over 70 degrees one may be quite sure
that efficiency in school work is being
decreased and health impaired. 1t is
the child who goes out from an over
heated schoolroom into the chill win
ter air that suffers from colds and
bronchitis and more serious respira-
tory diseases.
Every schoolroom should be equip
ped with definite provision for ad
mitting fresh air by means of a jack
eted stove, window board or some
other method. There should be a
thermometer, in repair in every class
room, and when it passes seventy de-
grees something should be done at
once to admit fresh air and cool off.
The light in the classroom is an
other important factor in the health
of the school child. Many case Of
defective vision is due to eye strain
from trying to study in dim light or
to the effect of direct glare, which
may be equally harmful The area
Of glass in windows should be at least
one-fifth the floor area of the room
and the light should come from the
left side of the pupils and from the
long wall of the classroom. On
bright days the glare should be con-
trolled by shades.
Above all, the children should be
guarded from conditions which favor
the spread of communicable disease.
The toilet facilities should be care
fully supervised. ALL toilets snould be
we'll lighted and kept clean and out
door closets SO tightly built that in
fecticn cannot be washed into the
well or spread about on the surface
of the ground or carried about by
flies and other insects
Ample facilities should be provided
so that the children may wash their
hands before eating, since unclean
hands play an important part in the
spread Of disease germs. The com
mon towel and the common drinking
cup are sources of great danger and
should be strictly prohibited.
The water supply of the school
should. of course. be protected against
pollution SO as to be above suspicion.
How are these essentials of santa.
ton provided for In the school where
your children are to spend their days
during the coming winter?

usually remain long on the ground
AT Boise, in 1914, the greatest depth
on the ground at p. m. on any day
was IA inches.
There is abundant sunshine during
the growing season. At Boise the
average duration of sunshine for the
period from April to September, in
elusive, is 2031 hours, which is 3O6
hours more than is experienced at
Chicago during the same period
This is why crops grow so rapidly
although the nights are so COOL The
sunshine is more intense than at a
less elevation. At Boise the rela-
tive humidity ranges from about 81
per cent in July to rs per cent in De-
cember. Boise has lower relative
humidity than Chicago throughout
the year and lower than San Diego in
every month except January and De-
sunshine, together with the low hu-
midity promote the coloring of fruit
and the proper curing of hay crops,
as well as hinder the development of
fungus diseases.
There is some occasional damage
from late spring frosts, but the dan
damage is less than might be expect
ed from the temperatures recorded
Frosts occur only on clear, still
nights, when protective measures are
most effective.
Adjacent to these agricultural re-
gions are mountain area where the
winters are sufficiently cold and
snowy to permit >the accumulation of
great deposits of snow, which, con-
tinuing into the summer, serve to
feed the many streams from which
irrigating water is drawn and which
turn the wheels of many hydro-elec-
trio plants. Because of this the heav-
lest flow of water in the principal
streams comes in the height of the
growing season. In these mountains
are many delightful summer resorts,
where real summer heat is seldom
felt and where fires are in demand
almost every night At one such
place, Payette Lakes, the mean July
temperature is the same as that at
Prince Albert, Saskatchewan. While
the winters in these mountain areas
are cold and snowy, they are not so
severe as might be expected. At Pay
cite Lakes the January temperature
is about the same as that at Dubu-
que, Iowa. With exception of a few
barren, treeless ranges the noun
tains of Idaho have very little wind.
The snow lies as it falls until melted,
and little discomfort is experienced
from the cold.
Throughout southern Idaho, there
Is a notable absence of severe storms.
At Boise the average rainfall per
rainy day is 0.13 Of an inch. Rain

seldom occurs. Thunderstorms are
light and infrequent Serious dam

Clothes are my hobby, and I advise
everybody to wear as fine garments az
they can afford. Fine clothes get you
hearing and that is frequently the most
necessary thing. Even Office boys are i'm
pressed by clothes. and the word of an
Office boy has frequently most vital influ-
ence upon your getting into the inner
office.
But fine clothes must be backed up with
ability. All the clothes in the world can
not save you If you cannot deliver the
goods.
The feeling you are putting aside for a
rainy day means much to your peace Of
mind. The knowledge you will not be
forced to look to strangers in your old age
gives you strength and ambition to add to
your savings.

UNIFORM RULES
 FOR BASKETBALL
New Regulations Are Interpreted for Benefits For Those Interested
 In Game.

The recently combined Amateur Athletic Union, Intercollegiate and Young Mems Christian Association basketball rules committees held their first joint rules interpretation meet ing at the Hotel Astor last night and explained for the enlightenment of changes that have been effected in the playing code for the coming basket ball year.
 Although the rules of the three con- trolling bodies have been thrown to- gether in order to get a uniform set of regulations, the result is not so con- fusing as might at first be imagined This fact was made evident by the shortness of time required to explain the code. i"e the intercollegiate body used up a whole afternoon in other years, the combined committees with Dr. J. P. Roycroft in the chair, representing the intercollegiate body, was less than four hours in complet- ing the task.
 The greatest amount of clarifica- tion was called for where rules of one organization were transplanted bod fly to the new code. Chief among these was the revision borrowed from the A. A. U. rules which hold that neither centres may touch the ball

 Property Valuable.
 It is pointed out, on the other hand, that should Sinclair, or whoever else Is putting up the money, buys this prop erty for cash, it might prove an ex- cellent investment, as the property has large waterfront, and in ten or fifteen years will probably be worth at least $2,0O0,00O. In the event that this ball club fails, Sinclair still would have his most valuable asset, the plot Of ground. But from a strictly base ball standpoint, there seems no chance for the club to make expenses for a good many years.
