RErTER COLLEGE COURSES

II surely must be gratifying to the
impressive people of the United States
% know that American colleges-many
supposedly so thoroughly equipped with
ability to impart knowledge-have
learned a wholesome lesson from the
war That lesson brings a realization
Of lack of practically in college courses
as heretofore offered to the young minds
Of America.
Western schools, more practical than
many of the staid institutions of the
cast in a measure DETECTED, several
years ago, from the rigid academic re-
onirements of older institutions of high
er learning.
College administrative heads and col
leoe professors have held to the idea
that in order that youth may depart
from the campus an educated man, he
must be possessed with an abundance

of Latin and Greek, and other eopaTlv
useless and obsolete subjects, and vet
these selfsame professors, in maunfac-
turing what were supposed to be men of
culture, quite disregarded the very es.
sential requirement so keenly presented
to almost every man, sooner or later
IN life, and usually sooner than expect.
ed-that requirement which tests his
ability to make living for himself and
those dependents whom he may possess
or afterward acquire.
1t is a splendid move on the mart
of colleges and universities that skaters
the Greek and Latin bars to admission
of students to these institutions and
also so rearranges the curricula that
men may major in affairs of the mo-
dern world and the relations of its var
JUS races and peoples, one with anothe.
and devote less attention to the obso-
lete and the dead of centuries AGO If
is the world of today which must be
faced, and, while it is well to know
the foundation stones upon which if is
built, students should not be obliged to
lose themselves in antiquity, but should
be given familiar acquaintance with
today's day.

sHAKEUP IN LEAGUE

What apparently is a shakeup in tn,
management of the Non-partisan leagu,
IN Idaho, or what is left of it, has de
velOped in the REIMBURSEMENT, by w. G
Scholtz, of the management of the lea
que, in favor of an imported product
from the socialist state of North Dako
ia.
just why Scholtz, who was instru
mental in bringing the league to Idaho
surrendered as the state boss of the or
ganization, is not made clear from
" headquarters" except that it is stat
ed he was unable to fill two positions,
that of manager of the league and man
ager of the Non-partisan daily news
paper at Nampa.
A degree of significance may be at
tached to the report that themanage-
ment of the league, offered to several
influential members of the party in the
state, was declined. o. A. Hall, it is
said, was sent to Idaho by the national
Non-partisan league to carry on the
bossing here. 1t will be interesting to
observe the methods he employs to stir
things up in Idaho.

VITAL STATISTICS

The state department of public
welfare, of which John X. White is
commissioner, has undertaken to col
lect accurate vital statistics in Idaho.
This work has been neglected hereto
fore, especially with respect to COM
pleteness of the data.
The department is urging that ply
sicians in all parts of the state prepare
their reports of deaths in ac-
eordance with the international list of
the causes of death, and give particular
Idaho County free press. [volume] (Grangeville, Idaho Territory) 1886-current, 1919-06-12

attention to designating on the GER
tiheates causes of death.
1t is custom among many reporting
deaths to fail to detail the cause. Often
any sort of disease is set forth in the
certificate, without reference to the
rue cause of the death, and statls1cs
on morbidity compiled from this sort
OF information are worse than none at
all.
Significance of accuracy in these
matters should be realized, in order
that the bureau of vital statistics may
be of real value to the public.
