THE LESSON.

THE LESSON.
1 stand on the hiIlcrest at sunset
And watch the crimson and gold
AS they paint with their myriad changes,
A vision my memory VIII hold.
The soft azure sky is the canvas;
The brush the suns golden beams;
The background of feecy clouds welded
Rejecting the suns fading CLEANS.
The picture is soft in its contour
OF edges all blending as one
1t CLOVIS, like gem in its setting,
Perfect! wonder of clouds and sun!
Tins Nature achieves in her splendors
Perfection man never has wrought;
He comprehends not in his weakness
The lesson that Nature has taught.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

If a little albumen is found I'm
the urine does it always signify
Bright's disease? Does IT signify
any kind of kidney disease? Would
nervous trouble cause Rlbumen IN
the urine? M. ]. z.
Answer-No. Albumen may be
found in the urine in many condl-
lions besides Bright's or other kid
ney diseases. Diagnosis OF Bright's
disease (nephritis, Inflammation Of
the kidneys, cardio-vascular renal
disease) requires not only the md
ing of aIbumen but also a micro
scopical examination of the urine
and an examination OF the heart
and blood vessels. Albumen in the
urine as often depends on other
causes as on kidney disease. I do
not know just what you mean by
nervous trouble"-that is a vague
term.

Somersaults have helped my lit
tie girl. She was as yellow as a
pumpkin and had headaches all the
time Medicine did no good. Som
ersaults cured her. Her complex

Answer-The somersaults prob
ably did the little girl no harm. 1t
is doubtful whether they did her
any good The jaundice, in chill
dren, usually clears up after n num-
Der of weeks, anyway. Somersaults
happened TO be the order of treat

thus founded on fancy, you see.

teacher when the time came to open
school in September and several
schools were obliged to add to their
teaching force after the beginning OF
the term, because Of the increase in
enrolment have been able to find
qualified teachers. That we have not
suffered from a shortage of teachers
as have some counties is without
doubt, due to the favorable location
of the county and the fact that there
are no schools that are far from the
railroad and hard to reach. Prob
ably, also the reputation of the coun-
ty for having an unusually proges-
sive and broad minded rural class.
And, too, there are only ten one
room schools in the county and it is
the oneroom schools that have the
greatest difficulty in finding teachers.
Cost Increases.
The schools have felt the increased
cost of living as has everything else,
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1919-12-19

but the expense of operating them
for the past year has not been ex.
cessive, the majority of the districts
not finding it necessary to make the
ten mill levy allowed by the law. 'Ehe
total amount spent for instruction
and operation last year as shown by
the annual report of July /, 1919,
was $26,O72.85, not including the
Class A districts. As there were
three thousand five hundred seventy
six pupils enrolled last year this
made the cost per pupil $685..
There are some districts that must
spend more money than they have
yet spent if their children are to have
the educational advantages and the
sanitary surroundings to which they
are entitled. There are still districts
that do not have supply Of pure
water, a few of the older school
houses are not properly lighted, and
far too many have unsightly school
yards, with little or no playground
apparatus.

ment that our schools must take and
they will not be living up to their
past records if the next few years
do not find all our school houses with
modern water systems. 1t surely
isn't too much to hope for.
The people of Canyon county have
a just pride in their schools and they
also have a broad field for their
activities in improving those schools.
A little more time, a little more in
terest and a little more money will
put the schools of Canyon county in
the position which the schools Of the
best county in the state should &C.

Canyon county has A school dis
tricts with an enrolment this year Of
,3201. This does not include the
towns of Caldwell and Nampa, both
Class A districts, whose total en-
rollment is as great as all the rest
of the county. Of these forty-four
districts six are independent, that is
they contorl their own finances while
the common school districts must
submit all of their expenditures to
the county superintendent to be in
dorsed and recorded. An independent
district becomes a Class "a district
when it employs not less than twenty
teachers, and these are not only in
dependent financially, but may also
choose their texts and prescribe their
own courses Of study. Their eighth
grade pupils are not required to take
the examination that is required of
eighth grade pupils in other schools.
Employ Many Teachers.
One hundred fifteen teachers are
employed in our schools, the number
of pupils in a school varying from
ten each in two of the one-room
schools to one hundred fourteen in
the Lone Tree schools which en-
ploys four teachers. The Midway
school is a close second with one
hundred thirteen pupils and three
teachers. The town schools are, of
course, larger, Wilder leading with
two hundred sixty-four pupils and

with two hundred one pupils and ten
teachers.

Rapid Strides In Developing
and undermining |nstitu-

Costs

Canyon County schools have not
fallen behind other institutions Of
the county in growth and improve
ment and the problem Of providing
school houses fast enough and large
enough to take care Of the rapidly
increasing school population is al
most as difficult as is that Of provid-
ing residences for families. But the
people Of the county are determined
that buildings and teachers shall be
provided. and during the last two
years they have built and remodeled
twelve school houses, ranging in cost
for building and equipment form
$500 to $4,000. These buildings
are all constructed in compliance
with the state laws in regard to
lighting, heating, and general sani-
tary conditions. Six Of them are of
brick, the others, frame, the largest
being the Parma high school and
the Wilder school building used for
both grades and high school, and the
smallest . one-room frame building
south of Bowmont, the only one
room building among the twelve.
Two buildings are now being con-
structed, one being the Sunny Slope
school, q splendid four-room brick,
Of the same architectural style as the
Huston school, and the other the
South Side Boulevard, q two-room
building also Of brick. Both are to
have full Easements, finished and
furnished for community use.
Built Cottages.
Two districts, after providing new
buildings for their boys and girls,
went still farther and built neat and
convenient cottages for their teach
era. These are two adjoining dis
tricts In Upper Deer Flat, south Of
Nampa, the Sunny Slope and Scism
Schools. These cottages have proved
to be very popular with the teachers
