OUR BOYS AT POCATELLO
The Shoshone boys at the Idaho
Tech training camp at Poeatello are
making good and seem to be satisfied
( according to Professor Norman p.
( Atkinson of that college who is I'M
the city doing publicity work for the
State Board Of Education. The adj
vance along mechanical lines of this
special contingent is little less than
marvellous. said Mr. Atkinson and
many expert men win be turned over
TO the government at the close of the
( training period.
Scores of young men of the state
are preparing for the war in sane
way by becoming mechanics TO aid 1
their government by taking work at
the Tech ia the regular session. The +
regular term begins thiS~fau Septem-
Der % and the enrolment is very
promising. The new gymnasium
which is being built is a very attraf-
tive feature to all students who have
waited for this for soma time
The young women OF the state
who come to the Tech now seem to
be specializing along Commerce and
StenOgraphy lines and special night
classes and summer school have
been necessary at the Tech to han
die this extraordinary demand for
good clerical help.
1T should always be kept in
mind" said Professor Atkinson,
that there is no tuition at the Tech
or the other state schools" Young
men and women of Idaho should pat
ronize state schools.
There will be a military drill at
the Tech. this winter for ell who de-
sire to prepare for government SER
vice in this way.
