The Idaho Republican. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1904-1932, 1917-01-05

Basis or actual enrolment est1mat-
ed in October, 1915.
Thus the enrolment has increased
in the biennium 35 per cent.
In the last two bienniums since
1913 the enrolment has increased
from 1903 to 2470 or 81 per cent
If this has taken place in the last
four years of comparatively slow de-
velopment in the state, what is going
to happen in the wave of progress
that is now felt in every corner of
the state?
This is not an exceptional rate OF
growth. The state schools of Iowa
grew just a little faster for period
of four years during which the pop
.ulation actually decreased a little.
What is to come in Idaho, no less
alive than Iowa certainly, with rap
idly increasing population. Let us
face the facts, and reckon with the
future.
Can Appropriations Stand Still
Clearly department of state bust
ness growing at such pace cannot
be maintained even at par without
increasing funds. But in 1915 ap-
preparations totaled less than those
of 1913. What is to be done in
1917.
The state has two alternatives: to
grant more funds or to throttle grow
tn and development.
Increasing Scope of Work.
Besides the increase in enrolment
the institutions are under and must
undertake new lines of service. Ten
years ago the University itself was
little more than high school. Now
it is genuine university, of which
the state will be increasingly proud.
The technical institute at Poca-
tello two years ago was the acad-
envy of Idaho With q four-year course
like any high school. Now it offers
two years of substantial college work
for graduates of the high schools of
southern and eastrn Idaho.
The Albion normal school has de-
veloped strong department of rural
education, it's most important serv-
ice to the state.
The Lewiston state normal school
is pushing forward it's pioneer work
in the training of rural teachers by
means of rural training centers, a
plan which is being initiated in many
places thrdout the country.
Does the state approve of its edu-
cational institutes keeping pace with,
the growth of population, industry
and general progress?

GROWTH OF STATE SCHOOLS

In Idaho as in all other live west
ern states the enrolment in the
State Educational Institutions is in
creasing by leaps and bounds as is
