ENROLMENT FOR.
INSTITUTIONS CUT.
DOWN BY THE WAR.
Commissioner of Education
Finds Reduction Not as
Great in Idaho as in East
Return From North.

The student enrolment in the state
educational institutions of Idaho has
dropped off since the United States
entered the war, DIR. f. A. Bryan,
state commissioner of education, an
nounced today on his return from a
trip to the northern part of the state.
AT the University of Idaho the en-
rollment Is about IS per cent said
Commissioner Bryan. This is also
true of the Idaho Technical Institute.
1t is about so per cent at the two state
normals. The reduction in attendance
Is not as great in this state, however
as it is in the east. 1t is about the
same as the reduction of other state
educational institutions in the west.
THE cause is the entrance of tins
country into the war and the call on
the Young men to arms. There Is also
a shortage of teachers in the SCHOOLS
of the state. In the state institutions
II is noticeable that there are not SO
many male students as heretofore.
Commissioner Bryan attended Joint
teachers institute at Bonners Ferry
for Boundary and Bonner counties.
THE teachers in attendance" he said
"were practically all women. Most
of them are younger in years than
usual"
While at Standpoint the commission
err visited the experimental station
which is in charge of ]. F. laFranz'
a University OF, Idaho graduate. Com
missioner BRYAN found that his stump
land clearing experiments are benefit
cial and said a wise and sensible
course was being pursued by the dl-
rector He also visited the university
at Moscow and the state normal at
Lewiston as well as the Northwest
livestock show at the latter place.
President I.indley of the university
has gone to Washington to attend the
annual meeting OF the National Asso-
citation of Universities and the Nation
al Association of Agricultural Colleges
and Experimental stations.
