RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION

A recent number of the Literary Digest reproduces
portions OF several articles relating to the progress Of
religious education as a part Of the regular public school
curriculum, giving credit to North Dakota for being the
pioneer in this work.
The plan which is in operation in North Dakota and
which has been adopted. with notifications, in several
other states. was formulated a few years ago by Dean
squires, Of the University of North Dakota. The plan,
in substance, is to encourage systematic study Of the
Btble by giving credit to students Of high school grade
for evidence of faithful work in a course outlined by the
state educational authorities, in which examinations are
conducted under state direction. The course is not OBJ
ligatory, and the work is performed outside Of regular
school hours under such competent instructors as the
student may select. Members of school faculties take
no part in this instruction unless they choose to do so as
volunteers outside of school hours. Since the adoption
Of this plan in North Dakota, work along similar lines
has been undertaken in Colorado, Indiana and Wash
tngton.
The Digest quotes from the Christian Educator. of
Philadelphia. the following paragraphs: s.r
THE courses. which are non-sectarian and do no
violence to the principles of religious liberty, cover two
years work. or ninety periods of forty-hve minutes.
They include great stories of! the Old and New Tesla
ments, lives of great Biblical characters, studies in geog-
raphy. history, and literature of Bible lands, memory
passages. the life of Christ, and the history of the early
church. 1t was clearly made known; that the work might
be done at home, in church schools, special weekday
classes, Y. M. c. A. groups, provided the syllabus were
conscientiously followed and the course studied as any
other high-school lessons, and subject to semiannual e-
animation by the State.
From the first, county and State Sunday. School
associations collaborated with State authorities in arous-
Ing interest and promoting the movement. The State
Sunday School Association assumed the responsibility of
printing and distributing the syllabus. and it did its work
with marked success. The result is that in nearly every
town and city, high school classes have been organized
with the various Sunday schools and young peoples So
cieties.' Furthermore, Sunday schools have taken on new
life. Observation-Disclosures feeling has been aroused, and
cooperative enterprises multiplied. All this has been
done without doing violence to the fundamental idea of
separation between church and state, without suggestion
Of sectarianism, or any tinge of partisanship, either po-
itical or ecclesiastical" +

FOR A NATIONAL BUDGET

One year ago. writes Oscar S. Strauss, former am
bassador to Turkey, American soldiers were in the midst
Of the great drive which resulted in smashing the "un-
beatable' German fighting machine. An endless line of
American ships was carrying reinforcements across the
Atlantic at the rate of 800, 900 men a month. A thous-
and government agencies were piling up munitions, guns,
900 to $50, 900, 900 a day.
During those strenuous July days Of 1918 we had
little time to count the cost. The Allied fighting front
had to be kept intact. 1t mattered little whether it cost
twenty-five. fifty or one hundred million dollars daily to
do it.
The signing of the peace treaty brought a new sense
Of money values to government leaders. They found
that the government had accumulated nearly SIS, ooo,-
100000 in war debts. In looking over both the war and
pre-war expenses, department heads realized as never
before that the country had for years been conducted
upon an extravagant and wasteful basis.
They realized that this waste and extravaeance
must be eliminated if the nation is to pay it's war debts,
create new sinking funds and maintain its position as the
industrial leader of the world.
The desire to run the country upon an economical
basis has resulted in an attempt by Congress to establish
e. national budget system. Several budget bills are now
before the House and Senate.
I am not prepared to place myself on record as fav-
oring all the clauses Of these bills without reservation,
as / have not studied them. though 1 heartily approAe
Of the central features contained in each. I believe that
should act in an advisory capacity to the ten major de-
partments of government and assist them in preparing
their annual statements Of money requirements.

SCHOOLS SHOW THE
WAY In PATRIOTISM

A total of $6,7s0 in Liberty bonds
is held and owned in the two Salmon
schools, to say nothing about savings
and war stamps of perhaps an equal
total by the same schools. These
schols will buy Victory bonds in the
same proportion.
These figures furnish an inspira.
ton for the earnest men and women
of Lemhi county engaged in the
present work of securing subscrip.
tions to the Victory loan. the great.
est of all patriotic undertakings OF
the kind. These bonds furnish the
best security in the world and are
highly desirable as investments.
A day or two ago 1t was ascer
tanned that the seventh grade alone
in the Salmon school, taught by Mrs
Mccormick, had made Investments
amounting to $3,095 in war savings
and bonds. Which shows that the
right sort of saving is,taught in that
department as well as at the homes
CT Mrs. McCormick's thrifty pupils.
Figures are not at hand from the
county rural schools, but we may bt
sure that their subscriptions are il
keeping with the general idoas o.
thrift and patriotism.
Then let us all go and like thu

soldiers. all arrived home on We'd

at Leadore. while Caughlin came on
into Salmon. All are well. Corrigan
thought his parents at Leadore were
still at the Sunset mine. where they
were when he last heard from them.
and he jumped from the train at the
mouth of the canyon hoping to join
them there. When the train pulled
into Leadore the absence of the miss

Chase and the father, j. ]. Corrigan,
jumped into car and brought him
all the way home. TO make happy

Mike Lambeth and family were
down from Challis for the week

in Salmcn. having the misfortune To
lose on their way home Sunday
morning a handbag and some other
articles, including a maekinaw and
a boys hat. The handbag contained
two hundred dollars in Liberty

up the Salmon river beyond the can
yon when they discovered the loss.
Then behind them shot by the

ANOTHER JUGGLE
In COUNTY OFFICE

Right thinking citizens of Lemhi
have no less cause for their lack OF
pride in their board of county CON-
missicners, in spite of recent court
decisions and even the election that
seemed to sustain the same public
body. The board is actively pursu-
ing the same even tenor of its same
'cld way.
One of the retiring county officials
who came under the spell of the sys-
tenn that makes of public Office a pri-
|yate snap sought and obtained pay
that he was not entitled to when he
came to retire at the end of long
hold on to the public teat. This was
Ia case wherein he had already been
paid in full for all his many terms of
Office from January to January; al
though such terms as is we'll known
begin not on the first day of the
year but on the second Monday.
When this official came to let go,
however. he chose to put in his bill
for twelve days in January that he
held the office. although he had
drawn pay for the full month of Jan
uary when he succeeded his prede-
cessor In the same office eight years
before and in which he followed a
time honored custom in SO doing.
A little later along the same board
CT commissioners that allowed this
petit larceny of public funds adver-
tised for bids to be submitted for
county publications and job printing
which have grown to amount to a
large sum of public money every
year. AS one of the two printing
Offices of the county The Recorder in
sood faith submitted a bid which
was the lower of the two and which
would have cut this item of public
expenditure to less than half. This
bid was rejected and in Justification
of the act the commissioners issued
a statement In the form of pettifogg
Ing indictment Of this newspaper
and all its works as destined to per
ish and die, being subject to a heavy
damage suit and also heavily mort
gagged. In this statement without a
doubt the wish is father to the
thought, and the taxpayers as usua

and personal spites.
The costs of advertising alone il

for bids and the commissioners per

lular rates. run up into pretty pen
ny, all to be paid by taxes.

May Not Get County Agent.

Shall Lemhi county have another
county agricultural agent? That Is
the question now up for discussion.

are said to stand against an appro
priation for the purpose OF employing
such ssistanle. at least TO the extent
that they have failed TO authorize the
employment of the agent State

ago with young discharged soldier
