CHANGE In IDAHO HIGH SCHOOLS

Endorsement of a sweeping change
In the high school studies of this
state by which science and vocation
al work will largely replace foreign
languages. on the part of the state
board of education, is announced
following adjournment of the boards
two day session Thursday of last
week, says the Capital News. The
change means that the dead lam
guages VIII be reiegated to the rear
and the advanced step of substitute
ing more modern ana scientific edu-
cational subjects will be followed with
the idea of training students to meet
the everyday problems of life. The
board adopted a resolution TO this
effect and already letters have been
issued TO the city and county superin-
tendents asking their cooperation and
suggestion In substituting the change.
Idaho Is not the first state to- take
this advanced step but II is one OF
the very few in this country. For
some time there has been n movement
under way to modernize the high
school course so that students would
be equipped either with a commercial
or agricultural knowledge that would
be of great benefit to them when leav-
ing the high school for a great ma
jority of those who have high school
training are no fortunate enough to
be able to take a college course, Study
of the dead languages or in fact any of
the languages has not SO equipped
these students, II is claimed by those
who have given high school courses
the closest attention. including the
leading educators OF the country. 1,
has therefore been necessary In face
of not n little opposition to gradually
introduce more modern courses Ia the
high schools. The commercial course
was the first TO make Roadway as ere
OF the more modern high schoo,
courses. Since there has been a de-
mand for agricultural courses, and
for more liberal instruction. The Ian
guages were the first to suffer. Now
the board OF education Of Idaho takes
the advanced stand OF laying special
emphasis on the science and vocation
al subjects and less emphasis on the
languages and every instructor In the
state will be given an opportunity to
lend q helping hand.

Dear Annie Laurie: l am sew

young man Is very much IN love
he asks me to marry him at once,
but I will not do this. as do not
think he has money enough. /
like pretty clothes and jewelry.
and want to marry a man who
can give me these things.
The young man Is of good fam
lily. and is steady. let him call
whenever ne wishes. and have
told him that l like him very
much. He never goes with any
other girls. and he does not want
me to go with any one but him.
yet want to have good time.
Am I acting correctly?
You are sure what you want. aren't
you? Many girl Of extravagant
tendencies has discovered after mar
rage that saving was an impossi-
bility to her. II you feel that you
cannot economise or do without the
pretty things you desire. Of course
you are doing the right thing in re-
fusing to marry a man who cannot
give them to you.
Hav you ever thought, though. that
marriage frequently means as much
economy for the man as for the
woman? 1t may not be jewelry that
is his particular form of extravag-
ance, and he may not be a dude. but
there are other things probably as
dear to him as your finery Is to
you. You see. then, that you
wouldn't be the only one who was
making a sacrifice.
OF course, there Is only one thing
that will help you to make such
sacrifice cheerfully, and that thing
Is love. Since In your case 1t seems
to be so hard for you to give up the
things you like, I don't believe that
your regard for the man would
stand the test of marriage. You
like him and that Is all.
If you are not engaged to him,
there is no reason why you should
give up your other boy friends.
Cannot you explain the matter
frankly to him as you have to me:
