Word Picture Of Lincoln.
Mr. Golf pictured the great emanci-
pator at work in the woods with the
mutterings of the gathering storm con-
stantly in his ears, in his vision blaz-
ing campfres, huge armies marching
with measured tread and later, with
the storm passed he saw the South
trying to build up again and the North
TO reunite the arteries OF commerce.
And then Lincoln saw this union
Of states, a nation with all that ma

ton, its soul refined and Its people
purged OF greed and schooled in the
priceless lessons Of American liberty!
not mere love OF country, which is
commonplace, not mere Willingness to
live and die, which is sweet and glor-
ous, but the specific and mighty emo
ton Of patriotism which is love of
home and country as the place of our
birth and adoption, as the land where
our fathers rest, the spot where the
gentle and brave of our blood and our
love sleep their last hallowed sleep
until they awake to the glories of the
life to come"
Man and Hour Met.
The conflict of 1861 was one OF
states rights as against the right OF
the nation to govern, MIR. Golf pointed
out. The breech between the North
and South brought about the meeting
Of the man and the hour, he said.
1.-THE danger that threatened this
nation in 81 was the spirit that placed
the interest Of the individual and class
above that OF the common good,' said
Mr.. Golf. But God never fails his
people. From the solitude and wilder
ness OF Kentucky there came strong
and masterful voice in challenge. Des-
tiny awaited only the meeting OF the
hour and the man for the expression
Of It's message. Coming like the
prophet OF old, from the desert Of OBJ
scurity, he answered the question pro-
posed by the oldest Of Hebrew sages
by proclaiming all men are created
free and equal"
In closing Mr.. Golf pictured the Uni
ted States at the close of the war and
then in its place in the world today in
the following words:
Victory In Power In Trust.
"Then in the shadow Of history rises
the immortal Grant, with truth as his
watchword and eternal justice as his

schools, on any of the tests given
The first stand test worked out
was that on retardation, accelera.
tion and normality. We must first
| define our terms.
l.. A pupil is expected to enter
school at the age of six years, to have
PASSED the first grade during this
year or before he is seven years and
six months old, then into the second
grade during his seventh year and
out before he is eight years and six
months old. This is called normal
progress, the six months of leaway
in each grade is given because a
child may arrive at his sixth birth
day in March or April and may not
enter school until the following Sep
TENDER.
2. A child who is in the first
grade and is over seven years and
six months old is retarded, as is a
child in the second grade who is
over eight years and six months, and
so on thru the eight grades of the
school.
3. An accelerated child is one
who, for any reason, is in grade
more advanced than the normal age
prescribes, e. 6. child of six in the
third grade.
With these definitions in mind let
us look at the table below, which
shows a list of southern Idaho
schools arranged in the order of as
cending per cents of normal pupils,
for it is the normal condition that
should show the real standing of a
school, altho high percentage of
accelerates is to be desired especially
when the pupils uniformly enter
school at the age Of six years.
Idaho Schools
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1916-12-22

are many plans for such extra pro-
motions and it will be our aim to
install the one that best meets our
local conditions.
In looking over list of retarded
children in the Blackfoot schools it
is found that 40 per cent of retarda-
| ton is due to late start in school,
Is per cent to sickness, Is per cent
to slowness of pupil or the poor
adaptation of school work to the
needs of the individual child, 10 per
cent to irregular attendance, 9 per
cent to moving about, and . per cent
to unknown causes. Thus it would
seem that more than 65 per cent of
all retardation might readily be OBJ
Waited for it is the duty of all par
ents to get the children into school
at the most advantageous school age,
and to prevent loss to the child from
irregular attendance, while it is the
duty of the school to adjust it's cir
riculum to the child in such way
as to preclude all unnecessary fail
ure. (The question of proper age
for children to enter school will be
LII d AoIC1 Oh CISlC'J AOA,
it appears that the percent of retard-
ed children, 43 per cent, in the
Blackfoot schools might easily be re-
duced within few years to the ideal
Is per cent, suggested by DR.. Cub
berley, for IS per cent or better is
due to preventable causes thus re-
ducing 43 to Is per cent, which
we hope to accomplish by co-operat-
ing with parents and revising our
school course of study and methods

"a problem we'll stated Is half
solved" We feel that study of
these figures, a comparison of our
standing with other schools, and an
honest attempt at self criticism will
convince us all that there is work
to be done along the lines suggested.
We respectfully ask the discussion,
the advice, the cooperation of every
The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1916-12-22
Large City Schools

The first noticeable feature of this
table is the fact that the school sys-
TENS of the larger cities have a much
lower per cent of retardation, due
no doubt to three principal causes:
1. The presence of kindergartens
which take the children at four and
five and fully prepare for school at
six.
2. Nearness of the city school to
pupils as contrasted with our rural
conditions were often children are
unable to enter school until they can
manage horse.
3. Provisions for extra promo
tions for precocious youngsters. A
very necessary arrangement to any
school system, but one often, in fact,
generally neglected.
A second prominent fact is the low
per cent Of accelerated pupils in the
Idaho schools. For example, Quincy,
Mass, has SO per cent of it's pupils
accelerated as compared to Blackfoot
with 9.3 per cent or to school No.
four with 1.6 per cent. An ideal
school condition as conceived by DR..
Cubberley, of Leland Stanford Uni
versity, would be 20 per cent normal,
Is per cent accelerated and Is per
cent retarded, however, authorities
feel that altho high per cent of nor
NAL pupils is desired there should be
nearly an equal division between the
accelerated and retarded pupils.
Whatever the ideal condition may be
it is evident that for some reason
or set of reasons our own schools
need a greater opportunity for the
children to advance beyond their nor
nal grade, if we are to consider our
school children equal to the intellec-
tual standard of the country. There
