who has just returned to her home in
Chicago after a year of relief work
on the French front.
Mrs. Bass declared she did not en-
courage the habit of smoking under
ordinary circumstances, but from her
observation the cigaret and pipe were
almost a necessity in the trenches and

IDAHO WILL ACCEPT
SMITH-HUcHES MONEY

w. G. Hummell, of San Fran

tration of the terms of the Smith

acity in the states of Idaho, Ari-

Oregon and California, is in
y Boise comforting with f. A. Bry-
an, state commissioner of edu-
cation, on the action this state
is to take in inaugurating voca-
tiOnal education in its schools.
Governor Alexander will formally
accept on behalf of the state,
the terms of the Smith-Hughes
bill. When this is done, $4,000
state funds will be set aside to
promote vocational education.
Added to this will be $4,000
appropriated by the federal gov
eminent by the terms of the
Smith-Hughes act. Mr.. Hummel
will be followed by B. w. john
son, industrial federal agent re-
tanned in AN advisory capacity in
Connection with the new law.
The last legislature lost an act
introduced in and passed by the
house, formally accepting the
terms of the Smith-Hughes law
passed by the last congress. The
act could not be found i'm the
senate and the legislature adj
journed without passing it. AS
Idaho desired TO secure the fed
eral aid in the Smith-Hughes
law, the matter of correcting the
error in the senate was taken up
directly with the federal COM
missioner of education. DR.. Bry-
an, state commissioner, made a
trip to Washington for that pur-
pose at Governor Alexander's
request. It was found at that
time that Oregon was in a sim
liar situation as Idaho with re-
- s9SFS 10 the law An amendment
was introduced in congress to
provide for both states, was
passed and approved by the
president. Idaho's acceptance
completes the transaction.
The Smith-Hughes bill pro-
vides first vocational education
in agriculture for boys between
the ages of IA and 10 years
second, industrial instruction
for hos between IA and 10 and
third, home economics for girls
In addition it has a provision
providing for the preparation OF
teachers of vocational education
The governors of the states are
required to designate the board
that shall administer the federal
and state funds.
Governor Alexander will desig-
nate the state board of educa-
ton. Following the acceptance
Of the act the state board of edu-
cation or the commissioner o
education will designate the higl
schools in Idaho in which the
vocational work will be carried
on. The Idaho Technical insti-
tute at Pocatello will be named
as the state institution in which
the instructors will be prepared
to teach vocational education.

HOLIDAY CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS

One of the oldest and best beloved holidays in the entire year comes to us this week. Old est in our history because the Puritan fathers celebrated it when they failed to even celebrate Christmas. Best beloved because it is holiday of our own, typically American through and through Nations all over the world celebrate Christmas, New Years and Easter; but not Thanksgiving. and perhaps this adds the extra luster which makes it day apart in the heart of every American citizen.
 Its origin was on the farms. In reality it is a national harvest festival, but now it's mean ing has come to cover more than just the harvest season alone. The holiday is accorded us for the rendition of thanks for the blessings of the whole year.
 There are things that we have no reason to be thankful for The war, for instance, yet we should be thankful for the part we have been called upon to play, which is to fight for the right to live free Americans and help others to free themselves from the yoke of autocre7s'.
