enormous profits have accrued to the
average industry should note the fact
that most of the men who have cour-
age to develop are still hoping for a
return for the efforts and the money
invested and that in few cases have
those hopes been realized. These men
are the optimists of the nation, take
them anywhere you will and Twin
Falls has had many of them.
Home Industry Week will mean
nothing. Can mean nothing unless
the germ of the idea inculcated during
this one week grows during the other
flfty-one and takes hold of the pur-
chasing public. The man who believes
that he can succeed through the fail
ures of his neighbors has not studied
economic conditions with any degree
of care and is doomed to failure him
self. Home industry does not mean
the PRONUNCIATION of a selfish doctrine
by business man or laborer or any one
Of the many units which make I'D a
community lift. Home Industry means
in its essence your concern in the well
fare of your neighbor and is the per-
of the golden rule.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS ISSUE

While from the standpoint of re-
Enumeration for the publisher, the
Home Industry edition is not howl
ing success, the purpose of the issue
will be served, if will make the peo-
pie of this country realize how much
is owed to the small home enterprises
which year after year add to the
wealth and stability of this new coun-
try. 1t is not the purpose of the edi-
tor to preach trade at home sermon
to the consumers but in a general way
bring home to farmers and dwellers in
the city alike, the thought that out of
the bulk of number of struggling
industries representing a total pay
roll Of forty thousand dollars monthly,
is the general prosperity of the whole
community. That to wipe out these
industries through non-support and
indifference and the city and tract
inevitably loses not only that we'll cir
culated money, but loses in a thousand
ways by the curtailment of other bust
ness and by the falling off in pro-
ducts consumed for which the farmer
and the grocer, the merchant and the
retailers generally receive a handsome
portion of their business.
In this issue is contained only those
firms who are considered in the pro-
ducing line and while the line cannot
be closely drawn, none of the retail
merchants have been approached for
support of the edition although just as
much concerned in the creation of a
home industry spirit among the peo-
pie. Without single exception the
editor was given hearty encourage
ment by those approached who are
beginning to realize that better rela-
lions between consumer and producer,
merchant and purchaser must come
through better knowledge Of the prob
lens of each. The write-ups of the
individual firms in the issue is the re-
suit Of the personal investigations OF
the editor, who in his nine years resi-
dence in Twin Falls has grown to
know the problems which make bust
ness conditions hard for all.

PARIS. August 3.-B. Varazdate, a

ing to 'Humanite, says that the COM
mittcc has received word that Turks,
after massacring all the males of the
population in the region of Bitlis,
Turkish Armenia, assembled 5000 wom-
en- and children and drove them to the
banks of the Tigris, where they shot
them and threw the bodies into the riv-
er. These adviees have not been sub
stantiatcd from any other source. The
Armenian population of Cilicia, in the
Turkish vilayet of Adam, also has been
subjected to persecution, according to
the reports of the committee. More
than 10000 persons already are dead,
and it is feared that the Armenians
at Moucke and Diarbekr, in Kurdestan,
also have been massacred. Twenty
members of the Armenian Social Demo

JUDGE LINDSEY IN CONTEMPT
He refuses to Divulge Confidence o
One of His Boy Friends.

DENVER, Col, August 4. = Judge
Ben B. Lindsey of the Denver juvenile
court, was found guilty of contempt of
court by District Judge John A. Per
ry. Sentence was deferred, pending
Judge Lindsey 8 return from the East.
The contempt case resulted from
Judge Lindsey's refusal to reveal on
the witness stand what he claimed
was a confidential conversation with
Neal Wright, aged IL, whose testimony
in criminal court had much to 1do with
the aequittal of hisfmother, Mrsl Berta
Wright, charged with the murder OF
her husband.
John A. Wright was shot while seek
ing to gain entrance to his home il
Denver on April IS. Mrs. Wright wa,
charged with the killing. Neal Wright
testified at the trial that he, not hi,
mother, fred the fatal shot, and that i
was accidental. The district attorne,
claimed that Neal previously had tolt
different story to Judge Lindsey, an,
called Lindsey as a witness. Judg,
Lindsey declared the boys confidenta
communication was privileged and re
fused to testify. Mrs. Wright was ac

now depending on examinations much
less than formerly
How pupils shall be classified so that
they may advance through the grades
without loss of time is a question that
is continually presenting itself to
thoughtful superintendent, according
to Mr.. Deffenbaugh, and some cities
are undertaking special experiments
in this field.
In Carthage, n. Y, all those children
who can not read are started on their
educational journey in much the same
way. Gradually they are re-grouped
into three divisions: The first, COM
posed of the most mature and most
capable, completes certain amount of
work in one year; the next group is
given one and one-half years in which
to accomplish the same amount, and
the third two years. Before the close
lof the first year each of the three
groups is likely to be divided again
Unto the higher and lower. Therefore
| each pupil who enters in the fall with
no knowledge of the books has before
him the possibility of being in any one
of six groups before the close of the
| first year There is a special teacher
] in the lower grades who devotes her
| entire time to misfts those pupils
who for some reason or other can not
| do all of their work to the best advan-
/ tage in any of the regular groups. This
| teacher coaches backward pupils and
/ helps the brilliant ones to jump to the
i next higher division.
/ In East Chicago, Ind, child is pro-
i noted at any time the teacher and SUI
pervisors feel he would be benefited
The plan is to pass pupils if they are
doing their best, even if the grades are
j low.
The superintendent of schools in Will
liamsburg, Va, reports: eve use the
shifting group plan of grading pupils
/ and form of reports to parents that
keep parents thoroughly informed as
to the pupils standing during the year
/ AS each weakness of pupil is discov
cred by the teacher, it becomes a mat
ter of special consideration and study
by teacher, parents, principal, and the
pupil. Tentative shifts can be made al
any time. The aim is to relieve tht
teacher of all red tape and to reduc,
routine to the minimum, but to insis
upon constant and sympathetic stud,
of the child-every chi1d-but particu
larry every child who is in danger O
falling behind his class. No percent
ages or grades are accepted from
teacher as excuse for promotion or de
motion. If pupil is weak, efforts ar
made to ascertain the exact nature o
E his weakness early in the term ant

PROMOTIONS WITHOUT EXAMS.
Plan Now Is to Advance Pupils or
What They Can Do.

Few schools now rely entirely upon
examinations as test for promotion,
declares W. S. Deffenbaugh, chief of
the division of school administration
of the United States bureau of educa-
ition, in his annual review of school
conditions in tho smaller cities.
''In some schools examinations arc
made to count one-half, while in 9th
ers they count only one-fourth. 1t is
now recognized that examinations arc
not true tests of the pupil S ability to
do the next grade s work, and that o
pupil should not be promoted on what
he knows, but on what he can do. OF
