CUT OUT THE LANGUAGES
Change Suggested In High School
Course.

GVulSGs
Endorsement of sweeping change
in the high school studies of this
state by which science and voca tional
work will largely replace foreign Ian
guages, on the part of the state board
of education, is announced following
adjournment of the boards two day
session last week. The change means
that the dead languages will be rele-
gated to the rear and the advanced
step Of substituting more modern
/ and scientific educational subjects
will be followed with the idea OF
training students to meet the every
day problems OF life. The board
adopted resolution to this effect
and already letters have been issued
to the city and county superintend-
ents 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 10 this country. For
some time there has been a move.
ment 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 leaving the high school,
| for great majority of those who
have high school training are not
fortunate enough to be able to take
college course. Study Of the dead
languages or in fact any of the lau.
guages has not so equipped these
students, it is claimed by those who
have given high school courses the
closest attention, including the lead
ing educators of the country. 1t has
| therefore been necessary 10 face o:
not little opposition to gradually
| introduce more modern courses in the
high schools. The commercial course
was The first to make headway as one
| of the more modern high school
courses. Since there has been a
demand for agricultural courses, and
for more liberal instruction. The
languages were the first to suffer.
Now the board of education of Idaho
takes the advanced stard of laying
special emphasis on the science and
vocational subjects aud less emphasis
on the languages and every instructor
In the state will be given an oppor'
tunity to lend helping hand.

successful action is brought to
nullifY the appropriation. w. A.
Hart was present again to remind
the board of his opposition to the
appropriation. He asked for in
formation as to the methods of
paying the band and what kind Of
agreement existed between the
board and the band. He was in
formed the agreement was verbal.
Mr.. Hart then asked if the trea-
surer had qualified and was told
no, that some difficulty regarding
the bond he had applied for had
caused delay. In response TO
further inquiry Chairman Farms
worth informed him that the
amount of the bond required of the
village treasurer is $500. Mr..
Hart said he felt positive the law

Wash, national organizer and lee.
turer of the Women's Christian
temperance, Union, lectured in
the Presbyterian church Tuesday
evening. The program included
singing by the audience and a
vocal duet by Misses Edna Layton
and Elizabeth culp. Rev. ]. M.
Lavender presided.
Mrs. Silbaugh emphasized the
great Importance of public senti-
ment as an essential factor in
securing and keeping anti-liquor
legislation and in the enforcement
OF prohibitory laws. She said she
had been in some Idaho dry towns
that were wet, and that where
such condition exists it shows a
need of stimulating public senti-
ment along the line of temperance
not only in order to enforce real
prohibition but also to prevent a
reversal to saloon conditions. She
urged the need of keeping up
interest between campaigns and as
preparation for successful cam
paigns in the future. The work of
education as to the evil and blight
ing influence of alcoholic liquors
and the degradation and rum to
which it leads so many people, she
said, belonged to the temperance
organizations and their friends in
the community. She urged the
importance of teaching the boys
and girls the harmful effects OF
liquor upon body, mind. will
power, character, because, she
pointed out, it is from the bows
and girls, uninstructed and misled,
that the ranks of the moderate
drinker are recruited, and from
among the moderate drinkers the
ranks OF the druukard are recruit
! ed. Zone who never drinks will
never become drunkard." Mrs.
Silbaugh said science had proven
that alcoholic liquor is a harmful
narcotic poison and its usefulness
as medicine very limited.
She quoted statistics that show
that most of the inmates of peni-
tentiaries, aims houses and asy.
lums got there directly or Indirect
ly because of drink. The attitude
of the W. c. T. U. toward the
victims of the liquor evil is not one
of cruelty or abuse but of pity and
compassion, she said, and a gener.
/, Gus desire to uplift them and des.
troy the thing that brought them
and is bringing others to degrada-
ton.
Mrs. Silbaugh said Idaho makes

must not slip back, but the work,
though hard, must go on, SO thai

ment.
She Explained how Oregon and
Washington had enacted legisIla
ton to declare those states dr.,
Jan. 1, 1916, and how in order tc
protect Idaho, the legislature oi
this state had passed a statewide
prohibition law to become effective
the same date, pending the vote
on the prohibition constitutional
amendment to be submitted at the
general election in November,
1916. She also pointed out how
constitutional prohibition is more
permanent than legislative enact
ments which are subject to repea
at the whim of the legislator,
every two years.
