Lieutenant Stevens enlisted In the

a training school. His experience IN
Photographic work enabled him %

We spent about $S0S.000 for Poca-

900 for the two. Put these two sums
together and we have something worth

rendering this vast expenditure inef-
feetive. 1t is q business proposition.

THE keynote to my solution Of the

which is precisely the keynote to your
inaugural address. We have at Poca-

tions-the one q technical institute, the
other a normal school. Both have
small but very excellent and devoted
faculties. ] have no criticism to make
on the personnel of either faculty or

STRATEGIC LOCATION.

ION the other hand, geographically
Pocatello has for the purposes of a
school the most strategic location in
the state. We are now constantly
drained by Utah. 4 great institution

lies the great, rich and growingly pop

KEEPS IDENTITY.

II have no hesitancy. however, in
saying that it is the mature judgment
of the board of education. only one
member OF which was at that time a
member. and Of the present commits
sioner, that the ton of
1919 was in part correct. 1t is their
belief that 1t VAS incomplete and in
adequate TO meet our needs of today,
but that the necessity of n change in
the present policy and the welfare of
the state and not the desires of local
communities shall prevail. That rec
concentration did not perhaps fully
recognize the Importance of a large
normal school In southeastern Idaho.
1t did recognize the impossibiIity of
meeting the need for this with the in
stttution in its present location.
In my judgment. the Albion Nor
NAL school should be transferred to
Pocatello and should be consolidated
with the Idaho Technical Institute into
IA single Institution. with some such
name as The South Idaho Normal
School and Technical Institute
though the matter of name is of sec
ondary concern. No institution is de-
stroyed. Each institution continues
its identity in the larger and better in
stitution of which IL Is a part. All
rights. privileges, immunities and prop
critics of each passes to its larger life
in the consolidated institution. An in
stitution is not place but a chartered
organization. 1t is not n building.
Great numbers OF institutions have
been combined without being destroyed
colleges. banks. newspapers. schools.

GIVES HISTORY.

The Poeatello institution until re-
Gently was known as the Academy of
Idaho. With the coming of strong
high schools. there was no longer room
for the academy which has been
fast disappearing American Institution.
Accordingly. ia 1915. il WAS made the

Years or sub collegiate technical work

this direction as much as could have
been expected. The Albion Normal
school was estahli shed before the great
irrigation development OF the upper
and middle Snake River valleys had
reached their present development. It
was in period When high schools
were few and deficient and il is ques-
tionable whether the location was
ever iustfiahle, 1t is and has been do
ing high grade work. and | have only
words of communication for its fine
faculty and student body.
-Four years ago the commissioner of
education and tho state board of edu-
cation recommended that the Albion
Normal school be abolished and that
the Academy of Idaho he converted
into the Idaho Technical Institute.
This recommendation was rejected by
the legislature. except for the CONVEX
sion of the Academy of idaho into n
technical institute. The commissioner
and board have proceeded accordingly
ON this conclusion hitherto and have
submitted budgets based on that deei-

that they helped to enact such laws
as the county was in need of, especi-
ally the Road laws, First the enact.
ment of the State Wide Road law
which law is to meet the REQUIRE
ments of the Federal road law and
also law for the several counties
OF the state so that they may secure
the necessary funds to meet both
the federal aid and the State aid,
which is one fourth of the cost of
the construction of the roads in the
several counties that may take ad
vantage of the Federal and State
aid. Some of the counties are requir,
ed to hold elections and vote bonds
while a part of the counties county
commissioners are authorized t.
issue AMI sell bonds without an elec-
ton. a nd our Senator and Repre-.
