NO CHANGE FOR NAMPA.
(Nampa leader Herald

(Nampa Leader Herald)
At its regular meeting Tuesday eve
ming the city administration refused
to pass an ordinance or resolution re-
commencing a change from Pacific to
Mountain time The council voted
three to three and it took the mayors
vote to decide the question.
There are many people who honest
ly think a change would be desirable
and have little patience with those
who differ with them On the other
hand, there are many who think a
change would mean endless confu-
sion with no practical benefits. It must
be remembered that Nampa has many
railroad men and that they must con-
tinue on Pacific time. It would be a
great nuisance to them to have double
time. Aside from the railroads, the
telephone, telegraph and postoffice
must continue on Pacific time and
that means that everybody would have
to keep two standards of time. 1t may
be true that Just now in the shortest
days there is a little additional ex-
pense in the matter of lighting, but
some business men claim that early
closing would lose them enough bust
ness to more than offset the small adj
ditional cost in lighting. The argu-
ment that children attending school
have to go home in the dark where
they live at some distance, no more
than offsets in the minds of many.

American people than does many
a costly and well equipped educa-
tiOnal palace such as may be seen
in any part of the United States
today.
1.-THE decline in educational
power is primarily the result of a
widely influential and wholly
false philosophy of education
which has operated to destroy the
excellence Of the American school
and college, as these existed a
generation ago, without putting
anything in its place It has been
dinned into our ears that all sub
jects are Of equal educational val
ne, and that it matters not what
one studies, but only how he stu
dies 1t. This doctrine has destroy
ed the standard of value in edu-
cation. and its practical applica-
ton is making us a widely in
structed but an uncultivated and
undisciplined people.
1T is in conditions like these
that one must look for an explain
alton of the costly ineffectiveness
which is so sharply charged
against present day education in
the United States. We are told
that boys and girls, young men
and young women. spend years
apparently in study and then
leave school or college without a
trained intelligence, without any
standards of appreciation in art
or in morals. with wretched man
ners, with slovenly speech, and
without capacity to approach a
new problem dispassionately or to
reason about it clearly"

PRACTICAL SUGGESTION FOR A

Here is a happy and practical solu-

Christmas presents. and it comes from
the United States treasury depart
ment There are several advantages
in favor of adopting the suggestion.
The present suggested is adapted
equally well to old and young male
and female, and there is absolutely
no doubt that it will be much more
highly appreciated than most of the
presents intended to ada to the JOY of
Christmas Another advantage is that
it places the recipient in line to make
more money by acquiring the thrift
habit and it has a further advantage
of helping the government by loaning
it your money and thus to a certain
extent reducing the amount to be
raised by direct taxation BY adopt
ing the suggestion made by the treas

OPPOSED TO ASSESSMENT EX-
EMPTloN THIS YEAR.

Unless the Miner wholly misinter-
prets the sentiment of the people in
the mining sections of Idaho, they aIe
practically unanimous in opposition TO
the suspension of the law requiring
assessment work on mining claims for
the year 1920 1t was with consider
able difficulty that congress was ir-
duced to pass the suspension resolu-
ton for last year, and it was under
stood then that there would be moth
ing doing in that line this year That
attitude was entirely agreeable with
the western mining interests, ana no
effort was made while congress was
in session early in the year, the time
when it should have been done in
fairness to all claim owners Now
when there are only a few more days
OF the year, and when claim owners
generally have performed their as
sessment work, ii is reported that a
bill has been introduced to suspend
the assessment law again this year. To
adopt this resolution now would be
equivalent to class legislation, for it
would exempt a few from making the
annual expenditure of 500 per claim
after having exacted the full payment
from the great majority OF claim own
ers Besides there is no necessity Tor
such relief 1t is not necessary to
complete assessment work within the
year for which it is done. II work has
been started before the close of the
year it may be completed in the new
year. The rights of claim owners are
not jeopardized by requiring compn-
ance with the law. To suspend it now
would be unjust to the great majority
Of claim owners who have made the
annual expenditure in good faith
1t is reported that another bill has
been introduced extending the time
Tor doing assessment work until July /
|, 1921. If congress passes relief /
measure at ALL it should go no further /
han this. and the resolution should be
20 framed that there would he no es-
ape from doing the work for this
ear.

SOLDIERS AND BABIES.
(Anaconda standard)


Statistics tell us that more than
100000 people die each year in the
United States from preventable dis
eases. The death rate in the Ameri-
can army during the world war was
only one-sixth of the death rate of
the infants in this country. A large
part of these deaths are due to I'M
conscious neglect and ignorance and
the medical profession is engaged this
week in teaching the public how to
save these lives and to do away with
all preventable diseases. If it's a fact
that it's six times safer to be a soldier
in the trenches during a world war
than it is to be a baby in an Ameri
can cradle. there is something decid-
eddy wrong somewhere. Progress in
health can only be achieved by COOP
erative action between all units of So
ciety working toward that end Pro
gress is demanding greater efforts
from the individual for the better
nent of mankind The call rings for
everyone to do his share.
