summer of 1914
Mr.. Shorcr's practical experience has
demonstrated the Importance OF the
recommendation for cooperation be-
tween the Highway and Prison Depart
'n"nts in conducting convict road work.

Prisons and Prison Labor has advocat-
ed FOR Il number of years, and has been
instrumental in embodying into the
laws OF the state oc IVES; Virginia.
The work in Greene County, New York
was carried on under most difficult
conditions. The men arrived at the
camp before the organization and
equipment We're completed. They were
sent there without regard TO their suit
ability for the work. and almost one
fourth were totally unfit and had to be
returned to the prison. Arrangements
for feeding the men were unsatiSfac-
tory, while winter made efficient work
impossible fully two weeks before they
We're removed from the camp.
In spite of these difficulties. Mr..
Shorer reports that. taking the sixty
conVicts who were retained at the camp
and compa ring them with fifty one
civilians also working ut the camp, the
ConNicts averaged better than the
civilians and rs good as any ordinary
contract gang. Under proper condi-
tons he maintains there will be no diff
iiculty in using couvicts for this type
Of work with good results for the
money expended

ton to this report and it's conclusion
that two factors are essential TO the sue

A Basket Ball Game.

The third basketball game of the
season will be played with Occur d.
Alene High SchoUl Friday evening,
February IL, at the Post Falls gym
nasium. Our reason for playing on
a neutral floor is because we will play
only one game with Occur d'Alene
this season. The teams are well
matched and you can be sure of a
good game. We have won our first
two victories this year over Post
Falls and Standpoint by good scores,
and we hope to win the champion
ship of the county. There will also
be a game between the Rathdrum
Freshmen team, and the Post Falls
second team. The game will begin
at $3.50 o'clock. Admission 10 and %
cents. Everyone be sure to come.

THE FRESHMEN.

The Freshmen class Ia High School
is the class that all the upper-class-
men delight in teasing. The other
classmen consider the Freshmen as
being green, insignificant. aud slow.
They are supposed to be friends of
the Juniors, but the Juniors enjoy
teasing and picking on the Freshmen
as much as any of the other classes
do. Every little thing that happens
or is done 10 an incorrect way is
always done by the Freshmen, never
by the upper-classmen. Sometimes
the other clasSmen treat the Fresh
men kindly but thing like that
occurs only once ia great while.
The Freshmen class in High School
is the class to be pitied.

had achieved lasting fame.
He condemned Napoleon Bona
Parte as not suitable as an ambi-
tious boys ideal.
He urged the value of every
community having some kind OF a
community ideal or civic purpose
for which all should work in
unison, thus avoiding division Of
interests and local disruption,
something that can give rise to a
spirit Of helptulness in which all
can join.
The town gossip, was denounced
in burning words-the evil-tong.
ued, who recklessly circulate
SANDER and seek to rob self
respecting people of their dearest
treasure, their reputation.
High praise was given for the
primary teachers. The professor
said much depends on them in
starting the child's education
right, and he believed they should
be experts and have their salaries
doubled.
Abiding to the war in Europe,
he expressed the conviction that it
was due to want of courtesy be
tween people and between nations,
and to wrong system of educa-
ton. Christianity, he said, must
be taken out of the clouds. When
the Bible is taken out of the print
ed page and written IN the hearts
of men, he declared, there will be
no more wars.
Numerous flashes of humor and
sallies of wit made the lecture
entertaining as we'll as instructive.
The lecturer was frequently
applauded.

duced Professor Daggy, stated
that the next number on the
lyceum course will be the School

Rathdrum Wins.

Standpoint Beaten by Score of Asp.
A large crowd came to see the
first home game of the season, at
Rathdrum in the local gym, last
Friday night. The r. H. S. basket
ball team completely swamped the
Standpoint quintet by a score of As :
II. The visitors were swept off their
feet in the first rush of the game.
The Standpoint team had a hard
time to keep the ball after once Sc
curing it. The basket throwing OF
the local team was excellent. Null
ledy and F. House were special stars
in tossing baskets. Each member of
the team played good game for
the winners. Marineaux and Murphy
for the S. H. S. team were the only
ones who were able to find the bas-
ket and then only few times, as the
size OF their score shows. The Rath-
drum team showed great improve
ment in form. They out played the
Standpoint boys at all parts of the
game. The local FIVE took the game
at walk. Both sides made several
fouls during the first half. At the
end of the first half, the score was
"a to 6 in R. H. SIS favor.
In the last hall, after the Rathdrum
team had blasted S. H. SIS. hopes of
winning, several substitutions were
made. Aries Minzel for R. H. S.
played center while Mulledy acted
as guard in Shuldt's position in the
last few minutes OF the game. D.
House was replaced as guard by F.
Webster. S. H. S. also gave their
subs, Arm6eld, Campbell and Red
ley, chance to have fling at the
hopelessly one-sided game. The
visiting team lacked team work, but
showed considerable spirit in playing.
The lineup was:

PROGRESS Of THE WAR

On Feb. 4, the German admir-
atty issued an order declaring the
waters around Great Britain and
Ireland, including the whole of the
English channel, a war zone from
and after Feb. IS, and declaring
that every enemy ship found in
this zone will be destroyed. Warm
ing IS given that neutral ships are
also in danger as enemy ships
sometimes fly neutral flags. The
order applies to all merchant
vessels from America. These are
urgently warned not to approach
the north and west coasts of
France. Ships bound for the
North sea are advised to take the
north of Scotland route.
This order means that Germany
will use Ler submarines in an en-
deavor to break up British com.
merce and prevent shipment of
supplies from America to England
and France.
Severe fighting is reported from
all parts of the eastern front this
week. The Austro German forces
are driving the Russians out of
Bukowino, and fierce battle is
now on in the Carpathian, on
the result of which depends wheth-
er the Russians will again invade
Hungary or be compelled to evac.
uate Galicia. The Russians are
pushing their invasion of East
Prussia, and blocking the German
advances in Poland.

There Is not great deal Of eX-
Icitement In the town or school just
now, but will try to scrdpe up
little news that might be of interest
to you.
Tomorrow night, the Rathdrum
high school plays Standpoint. The
team has not done great deal Of
practicing but they all seem to be 10
fine trim, and the school has heaps
of faith in their skill at the game
The students were greatly surprised
Thursday noon when Professor Davis,
smiling as he always does when he
knows he Is going to please somebody,
announced that Professor Daggy was
going to lecture to us. The pupils
were all so full of excitement about
the basket ball game, that when this
extra drop Of excitement fell, it just
spattered all over.
Professor Daggy had one assistant,
Professor Herbson. along, who, Mr..
Daggy said, 'came along to take care
OF me-"
Professor Herbson spoke first. His
| first statement was. Freshmen don't
amount to anything" 1t sounds
interesting, doesn't it? 1t did not
bring about very friendly attitude
] between him and some of us Fresh
men for the time being, but after he
had stated few more simple, con-
vincing facts, we admitted that he
most likely knew what he was talk
Ing about. At first IL looked as if
we would have to class him with the
upper classmen as one of our most
dreaded foes: but all at once he
swung over and began to crlticise the
Sophomore mode of dress very openly.
When he began his talk, he said that
one of his main objects was to make
the students feel very small, and /
! think he did, too.
don't think anyone had hard
feelings against him when he finished.
for we soon learned that he was not
telling these things, which for
brief time sounded silly to US, just
for the fun that was 10 it, but 10
really beaetlt US. Besides, his sense
of humor was so keen that 1t seemed
as If he would rather entertain u
with jokes than talk to US sensibly,
IL he would accomplish his object b,
pursuing that course.
He didn't say anything very bad
about he Juniors and Seniors, as you
know they are ba5ied and handled
like the finest china ware; just as /
1t would be awful II someone would |
hurt their very delicate feelings.
How much good this talk accom-
pllshed, none of us will ever know, |
but 1t surely must bring about some
good results. He ended his talk with
a humorous sele cotton Just as he began
it.
Professor Daggy then took posses.
sion OF the floor and entertained us
for seemingly short time by telling
us bout the education and accom-
plishments OF the blind. This ma,
not have been as instructive as the
frst one but it was very interesting
and gave our minds something to
think about, which l think was very
valuable to US.
Professor Daggy ended his speech
by urging us to be present at the
lecture he was to give the same night
as the fourth number OF our Lyceum
course. l will tell you about that 10
my next letter.
AS the teacher is cycling me very
susp!ciously, and / can't look lnno-
cent under those piercing eyes, for
all that's in me, presume it will be
wise for me to close. Remember. /
always look forward to your letters.
Yours sincerely,
Edwin MInzel.
