Six Rural Schools Visited-Parents

Physical examinations of the pupils
in six of Latah county's rural schools
indicate that the children are gener-

Catharine Dryden, who spent last
week visiting schools with Miss Har-
court, school nurse, connected with
the Lewiston normal school.
The object of the normal school in
sending Miss Harcourt out is to ac-
quaint the people with the value of the
medical inspection which the law
specifies that the board of education
shall provide. Funds and the mach
inery for carrying out the inspection
are lacking, and it is hoped that pro-
vision will be made at the next ses-
sion of the legislature for supporting
it.
At each school that was visited, half
day was spent in making the in
spections and a half day was spent
in conferences with parents. A num-
ber Of cases of defective vision were
found, and there appeared to be lack
ing systematic care of the teeth. At
tention of parents was called to the
needs of their children, and the eff
forts of Miss Harcourt and Miss
Dryden were much appreciated. They
had the earnest cooperation of people
everywhere they went.

POTLATCH ORGANIZATION SUI
FERED LESS THAN IN FOR
MER YEARS
Most of MerchantabIe Timber Burned
Over Can be Salvaged-
Thirty-FOur Fires

In an excellent report just issued
by A. W. Laird, president of the Pot
latch Timber Protective association
the statement is made that the fire
season of 1915 was not disastrous
from the standpoint of loss and dam
age to timber The greater portion
of the area burned had been logged
off or had no merchantable timber on
it. The thirty-four fires reported
burned over 431.5 acres and damaged
358,500 feet of merchantable timber,
the greater part of which can and
will be salvaged. There were no cas-
ualties such as marked the previous
season and there were no losses of
property other than timber The as
sociation comprises the Potlatch Lum-
ber company, the state of Idaho, the
Clearwater Timber company, the Mil
waukee Land company, G. A. Rube-
dew, agent, the Blackwell Lumber
company, and the Northern Pacific
Railway company. Each OF these
members was assessed five cents per
acre for protection expenses of the
3,905 revenue acreage. In addi
ton, another 100000 acres were reg
ularly patrolled from which the as
sociation derived no revenue. Mr..
Laird recommends very strongly that
settlers be more careful in regard to
the burning of their slashings late in
the season. During the fire season
the smoke from these small slash
burnings fills the country, and rend-
ers the look-Outs established by the
association utterly useless. Detec-
ton of real forest fires is handicapped
and sometimes entirely prevented by
these thoughtless settlers.
Lightning last summer-was un-
commonly frequent and was RESPONSE
BILE for most of the fires. A dozen
fires have frequently been started by
one storm, and these lightning storms
are not often accompanied in this
region by rain.
In conclusion, Mr.. Laird says: 1T
will be clearly manifest that the in
requisites of our organ
ization are immediate detection.
prompt, accurate reports. and the
greatest mobility of our control
forces. Our problem next year is to
increase the efficiency of our look
outs and to speed up our smoke chas-
ers and control forces, generally"

LONDON, April 3.-Intense indigna
ton is manifest throughout England
today following the third Zeppelin
raid in three days. The total casual
tiles are expected to reach three hun
dred, dead and wounded.
People denounce the captive crew
of LIS "Baby-killer," and urged Sc
we're punishment for them The news
papers discussed the treatment of the
prisoners reservedly.
British officials characterized the
German claims that munitions plants
were damaged and land batteries were
silenced as absurd. Details of Sun
day nights raid are meagre, though
it is known that points of the Scotch
coast and in the northern and south
eastern counties of England were at
tackled

Inhabitants in the threatened dis
tricts early last night heard that

at II o'clock the lights were ex-
tinguished and surface and rail-traf-
fic was stopped. Special constables
were called out and the same precau-
tions were taken as on the two prev
ious night.
Pleased With Air Defenders
The newspapers comment with sat
isfaction on the success of the Brit
ish air defenders in bringing down at
least one of Friday nights raiders.
They point out. however, that the Ger
mans are not likely to be deferred by
the loss of one or even several air
ships and point out as evidence their
immediate repetition of Fridays per
formance on Saturday and Sunday.
AerOplane Dropped Bombs
For the first time since the incep-
ton of this method of warfare on the
British coast, not only has one raid
ing Zeppelin been brought down and
it's crew taken prisoner, but the Of
f1cial report recounts an exciting aer-
ial fight between a Zeppelin and a
British airman, Lieutenant Brandon,
who, mounting to height of 5000 feet
flew over the raider and dropped sew
eral bombs on it with effect.
The machine of Lieutenant Bran
don was hit several times by machine
gun bullets from the Zeppelin.
Saturday Night Raid
At least 16 persons were killed and
about 100 others injured by the ex-
plosion of bombs dropped in ano-
ther Zeppelin raid over the northeast

 When the firemen appeared on the scene volumes of snake were pouring through the rooms. windows and doors. The fire started from a defect in the chimney in the cellar and worked it's way up through the partitions to the attic. and by excellent work of the companies it was prevented from breaking out on the roof.

 The Greeneville companies responded and laid hose.
 The house is owned and occupied by

IA, GOLDBERG ON ZIONIST MOVEMENT
Noted Lecturer Urges Perpetuation of the Jewish Race Large Attendance Meeting Brothers of Joseph Syna- gogue Sunday Evening

Abraham Goldberg of New York ed itor of Dos Yeddishe Folk" (The Jew ish People), in an address delivered Sunday evening at the Brothers of Jo- seph synagogue on West Main street, said that it is our duty to lend what help we can to protect a persecuted race and to help the Jewish race to it's liberty.
 The meeing was largely attended and Rabbi Joseph Silver presided.
 Mir. Goldberg chose for his subject Zionism in the present and future
 MT. Goldberg laid emphasis on the overwhelming of the Jewish spirit here and elsewhere. He said that up to the present there is no distinction be- tween the old and present generation. New tendencies and theories have been opened and brought about by the Zion ist movement.
 The problem of the Jews involves the perpetuation of the Jewish race and even if discrimination against the Jews ceases-which is doubtful-the problem of how the JBwish people may maintain their identity and their na- tional character still remains unsolved And discrimination against, Jews, their prosecution and oppression, will not cease. no matter how enlightened the nation may become, while the Jews, themselves in alien national cultures. Persecution of the Jews in Russia, Ru- mania and Poland shows no sign of abatement; on the contrary it is grow in gmore violent from day to day Per secution of the Jew Is based on the differences of the Jew, which he per- sists in adhering to while dispersed and living in the midst of other na- tions.
