figures of last year is anticipated
There are several reasons that viii
contribute toward bringing out a
large attendance, but a chief one is
the new law that requires children
under Is years Of age who are at
work during the day and who had not
completed a grammar school course
through the eighth grade must attend
evening school, Unless such children
who are at work do not attend the
night school they will be required to
give up their work and attend day
schools until they have completed the
eighth grade course. 1t was also
stated Tuesday by school official
that it is likely that the commercial
course at the night school viii be

"There is a bright prospect for a
big fruit crop this year and the flu

fessor G. C. Vincent, head of the de-
partment of horticulture of the Uni
versity of Idaho, who has been max
ing a study of fruit conditions in
northern Idaho recently. Mr.. Vim
cent visited the fruit districts about
Lewiston and examined the trees of
all varieties of fruit and says he
found conditions very good.
The horticultural department was
an important one during the war pc
Rod. when conservation of food was
the main object, and it extended its
work during the past year to include
preserving of fruits and vegetables as
we'll as to the study of fruit produc-
ton. Professor Vincent says: ere
of the work, the department has con-
centrated its efforts to the solution
of those problems bearing directly up
on production and conservation of
food. The growing of vegetables to
feed the vocational men taking special
training at the university was also
