Great Good Accomplished.
Certainly the settlements have done a
great deal of good. There the boys and
girls of the great east side have been
taught much Of value that they never
learn in the public schools. They have
been instructed in literature and art,
and have been taught religion and other
ornamental and useful things. The lit
tie girls have been taught to sew and
to cook, TO clean and do all manner OF
other housewifely things. BOYS have
been taught trades Of all kinds, car
pentrv and the ike, and both girls and
bows have been instructed IN hygiene
and sanitation.
For the last few years the settlement
bows and girls have been taught garden
ing in the summer time. Every avail
able vacant lot and patch Of ground
on the east side has been eOmmandeered
by the settlement workers for gardens.
There the boys and girls have been
taught the art Of raising vegetables

To each child is allotted a small

NJ Is the settlements that are under
= fire. One would have thought,
in view Of the fact that the social settle
ments were founded by the uplifters
wholly for philanthropic purposes, they
would have been immune from attack.
But no. Comes now Dr.. Merklein, who
has something to do with the board Of
charities and correction, who solemnly
declares that the settlement is the enemy
of the home.
Whenever New Workers get tired Of
the monotOny of the daily grind, when
ever they feel the need OF a small modi-
cum of limelight, they attack somebody
or something. Dr.. Merklein picked on
the settlement.
'rThev destroy filial affection and
make the children look down on their
parents" he told a recent conference Of
the board of charities and correction.
"The settlements, a worthy instltu-
ton in themselves, have done much harm
in lessening filial affection, destroying
home life and making the children look
down with contempt on their foreign
born parents for their ignorance.
DISCRIMINATION
sNot that settlement workers intend
to do this. They have been acting in
the best of faith, trying to uplift the
foreign children Of New York. But by
education and socalled Americaniza-
ton, they have given the children feel
ing Of superiority over their parents and
have made them lose interest in their
own homes and gratitude and respect for
their hard working parents

HIGH SCHOOL
ISSUES CHALLENGE
TO BAKER CITY
Baker Democrat.)

M. H. Gibbons, secretary of the
Caldwell, Idaho, Commercial Club,
and Coach Neal of the football team
yesterday phoned the Democrat
challenging the Baker high school
football team to a game with Cald-
we'll on Thanksgiving day. Mr.. Glib
bons, as representative of the Com
mercial club and business interests
of Caldwell, guaranteed the Baker
team $3.50 to come to Caldwell and
Mr.. Neal, representing the team, is
sued formal challenge.
1--WE will give Baker $3.50 to come
here" said Mr.. Gibbons. Said Mr.,
Neal: 1--WE will play Baker here. at
Baker or any place Baker may choose,
We epect to play Jefferson high of
Portland the week after Thanksgiving
and if we beat them, will claim the
northwest championship if Baker re-
fuses to play, despite Bakers victory
over Caldwell early in the season"
Coach Williams of the Baker high
school does not look with favor on
playing Caldwell again. However. he
| is open to conviction and will COM
municate with the Caldwell manage
ment. eff they will make a sworn
statement that their players are AL
under Fl years of age, and that they
have not played more than four yeats
we will play them. The Boise team
claimed that several Caldwell players
have represented the school five Or
six years. Weiser also makes tht
same claim against Breshears, Their
star halfback, and several other play
| ers. If this is true, we will not play
| Caldwell until assured that the team
is strictly high school and affidavit
to that effect is made by high schoo
authorities"
Baker is considering a proposition
to play Ogden, Utah, on Thanksgiv
ing day against the crack high schoo
team of that city.
Coach Neal states that all the Cald
we'll players are eligible; that mons
have played four years; none are Owe
Fl years of age. He also takes TIL
demand of Baker City for afidavit'
as a reflection upon the Caldwell
schools. f.,

SCHOOL NOTES.

The high school students had the
unusual pleasure of hearing DIR. Sis
son, State Commissioner OF Edslca-
ton, talk Thursday afternoon at a.
special assembly meeting.
DIR. Sisson dwelt upon the >idca of
endeuvoring to create the right kinds
of habits in our education as well as
in our living. Habits of caring for
the body, by the proper calisthenics,
were suggested along with the proper
gymnastics for the brain. DIR. Sisson
went through the plans that are being
worked over by the superintendent of
schools for the extension of this kind
of work. and highly recommended
them.
According to the belief of the state
commissioner, the trend of Caldwell
schools toward greater service along
agricultural as we'll as other vocation
al lines is very commendable and he
expressed the belief that to be of the
greatest service to this community
we should train pupils in the main
business of this section.
The Parent-T eachers' association of
the Washington school is still active
in endeavoring to raise funds for i'm
proving the school grounds around
their building. A benefit at the Huree
Theatre Wednesday night was de-
voted to this worthy c ause.
At a meeting of the Van Buren,
Parent-Teachers' association Tuesda
afternoon Rev. Mr.. f wing gave a
very interesting talk, and Mrs. Drown
read an excellent paper on BALANCED
Diet for the Child" Music was fur
nished by the children of the frs
grade.
Unusual interest is centerinG abou

possible, and by correlating the worl

Prof A. T. Gordon arrived in Cald-
we'll Monday morning from Athena
for a visit with his brother. Mr.. N. 5.
Gordon. Prof Gordon may spend the
winter here. He was for manv years

the stage for a great many years and
was most successful in that line. His

of health and as full of vim and
energy as ever.

GENERAL PATCH WILL
RUN FOR NOMINATION
LIEUT.. GOVERNOR

General L. V. Patch of Payette was
in the city Tuesday attending the
meeting of the school trustees of Can
yon county. The trustees of the
county meet annually for the purpose
of discussing and deciding matters of
interest to the patrons, students and
teachers of the public schools of the
county. General Patch has always
taken a. great interest in school mat
tiers and is always in attendance at
the annual convention.
General Patch states that the gen
eral outlook at Payette and through
out the Payette Valley is much bright
er than it has been for a long time.
The farmers and fruit growers have
had splendid crops and naturally the
business interests feel the effects.
Candidate for Lieutenant Governor.
General Patch will be candidate
for the Republican nomination for
Lieutenant Governor. He expects to
make an announcement at an early
date and will then enter upon Wig
orous campaign for the nomination
which he considers the equivalent of
an election. In fact he looks forward
to Republican success in county. state
and nation.
General Patch is one of the lead
ing men of the Payette Valley. He
has served in the state legislature and
as adjutant general. He has always
taken a keen interest in the state
militia. He organized the Payette
company of the National Guard. was
its first captain and afterwards be-
came colonel of the first Idaho regi-
ment. He is an extensive fruit grow
err secretary-manager of the Idaho
Gaming company at Payette, presi-
dent Of two or three irrigation COM
panies, a director in the First Ma
tional bank of Payette, director in
the Payette Building & Loan Associa-
ton, and is interested in and has
helped build up several associations
and business concerns.
General Patch is 80 years of age
He is a man Of exceptional energy as
is shown by the varied interests and
numerous activities. He has been a
resident of Payette since 1902, com
ing to Idaho from Nebraska.
Only Canyon Candidate.
General PatGh will in all probable
ity be the only candidate from Can
yon county for position on the Re
publican state ticket. For that rea
son and because he is highly respect
ed and justly esteemed Throughout
the county he can count on the sole
support of the Republicans of thu
county.
