CADET system IN
SCHOOL PROPOSED
Board of Education Consid-
.ers Proposal Made by
w. 7. Booth.

The proposition Of organizing a cadet
system in the Boise high school, serv-
Ice in which would be compulsory for
the older students, was discussed at
some length at the meeting Of the
board of trustees last night and finally
taken under advisement. w. 7. Booth,
who has been familiarizing himself
with the cadet system in the high
school at Cheyenne, which has ac-
quired national reputation, felt that a
similar system should be installed in
the high school here He cited
the preparedness program in the Unit
ed States and stated the belief that
good military training received by
young men was an aid In their physi-
cal development and would give them
knowledge which might be Of great
value to the nation.
Superintendent Rose differed with
| Mr. Booth concerning compulsory
training. but stated he believed more
attention should be paid to the physi-
cal development Of the students. both
boys and girls, and he urged action
along that line.
March 81 was the date set by the
board for the closing of school for the
spring vacation of one week. The board
also authorized Mr.. Rose to use his
own Judgment in granting a half day
holiday to the students during dress
fup. cleanup and paintup' week,
which was asked by the committee in
charge. Mr.. Rose informed the board
upon a query. that school would close
this year on June g.
The school board granted the use
of the Boise high school again for the
Boise Summer Normal school and
stated they would be pleased to have
Mr.. Rose offieiate at its head as re-
quested by the state board
request for the purchase of a
piano for Park school resulted in the
appointment Of Mrs. Graveley and Miss
Eagleson as a committee to make an
investigation OF the piano needs of the
schools and to see what kind of deal
they could make in exchanging old
pianos.
The report of the secretary showed
that economy had been exercised this
year in the schools and that to date
this term the expenditures had been
$500 less than last year. regardless of
the fact that the board has had to ex-
pend $1,000 not down on the budget
The additional expenses were for such
as fire escapes ON Garfield school,

the blame for the injury to crops and
