der Smith Hughes Act for
Training Teachers and In
structing Students.

Idaho will enjoy the full advantages
of the Smith<Hughes act permitting
the expenditure this year of $4,000
for the carrying on of vocational edu-
cation in its high schools and to train
instructors. E. A. Bryan, state COM
missioner of education, has received
the following telegram from c. A.
Prosser director, federal board for vo-
cational education:
Federal board has approved plans
for Idaho and has authorized chairmen
to certify state to secretary of treas
ury as being entitled to all funds under
Smith Hughes act for current fiscal
year. Letter from me will follow to-
gether with copy of statement of GER
LITIGATION to secretary of treasury"
Speaking of the plans for this state
Commissioner Bryan said:
THE high schools in the state will
shortly be designated. They will mod
ify their respective courses SO as to

NO MORE CHANGES
IN THE PASSENGER
SERVICE EXPECTED

Chicago, Dec. 31.-Western railroads
will not have to slash their passenger
service under government control
schedules already have been cut to the
bone. according to operating execu-
tives.
Every practical elimination in pas
senger trains has been made since the
United States entered the war, rail-
road officials declared today. All no
stop trains have been eliminated and
other sweeping reductions made. The
passenger service of the west has been
cut 10.657,636.9 train miles year.
while reduction in service Is pos
sible. even to the absolute elimination
of all passenger trains further reduc-
lions in service out of Chicago prob
ably will not be necessary unless war
conditions become more acute" one
railroad official said.
I'VE can take off an unlimited num-
Der of trains. but many intermediate
points would sorely feel the loss.'
There now are no trains out of Chi
cago furnishing Identical passenger
service on the same day. officials say,
All serve different intermediate points
Western lines never have supplied
az intensive service as eastern roads
according to officials. For that rea-
son greater curtailment of passenger
trains II possible in the eastern divi-
sion.
