SCHOOL NOTES
Return from Spokane

The Inland Empire Teachers asso-
citation, which met last week at Spo-
kane, was attended by Miss Shier and
Mr.. Lewis, of the local schools, Miss
Shier having a place on the program
of the music section. These teachers
report an interesting meeting, educa-
tors having gathered from all over the
states of Washington, Idaho, Oregon
and Montana to discuss educational
problems and listen to addresses OF
men prominent in the educational
world. Vocational education was the
topic of greatest interest at the meet
ing. DR.. Snedden, of Columbia Uni
versity, was the principal speaker
upon this subject and the chief figure
of national reputation attending the
association. The chief problem in
vocational training, according to DR..
Snedden, is the relation of the schools
in vital way to the life and activities
of the community, so that those at
tending the schools may see in their
school tasks an application to do the
duties and industries thru which they
earn living. Such application, DR..
Snedden thinks, is possible to only a
small degree below the eighth grade,
while its greatest opportunities are
found in the period denominated the
high school age, from fourteen to
eighteen years.
Miss Shier said in speaking of the
program of musical education in the
schools that Mrs. Preston, state SUI
perintendent of public schools, has in
troduced the practice of giving credits
for outside musical instruction. It is
prophesied that music will soon be re-
quired in all schools as is the case in
California and other progressive
states.

is no power except from God. By
this he means that even civil power
is trust to be exercised for the pub
lie good and is forfeited when it is
persistently abused. The great doc
tors of the Church have always con-
tended that unjust laws are violences
rather than laws and they do not
oblige in Justice though they may in
charity or prudence. The doctrine of
the divine right of kings as under
stood in the sense of Henry VIII and
James I runs counter to every instinct
of right and justice, for it would de-
stroy human liberty. 1t recognizes
no rights in the face of civil society,
consecrates tyranny and makes AL
mighty God the accomplice of ty-
rant. Under the divine right of kings
power is irresponsible. No matter
how much it may be used or how
corrupt it may become there is no
recourse. There is nothing left for
the people but passive obedience and
submission. 1t denies that the people
have any voice in the management OF
their own affairs and gives no place
for human activity. Under this in
famous and almost blaspl1emous doc
trine power is right inherent in
certain men rather than a trust from
Almighty God.
The divine right of kings is justly
unpopular in our days, even among
Professionals, though Professionalism
owes it's growth and strength to the
divine right OF kings. 1t is theory
that could never make appeal to the
American people. Among them still
lives the spirit that created the great
Declaration of Independence: 1--WE

that all men are created equal; that

signs pointed to heavy marketing OF
soft corn, despite efforts to have such
grain utilized for feeding on farms.

by material setback all around.
Subsequently New York stock mar
