P. T. A. Holds Fine
December Meeting
Important School Prob,
lens Discussed at Con-
siderable Length:

A splendid program in honor of
our forefathers, was given by the high
school on Tuesday afternoon at the
gymnasium. A number of visitors
remained to attend the parent-teach-
ers' meeting which followed. Superin-
tendent ]. J. Rae presided during the
program. why Some Pupils Fail to
Make Grades" was discussed by Miss
Ida White. She attributed it to lack
of interest. caused by absence from
school and irregular study hours. She
mentioned the fact too, that pupils
have different natural tendencies,
some excelling in reasoning, others
in memorizing. Mrs. ]. H. Lowell
mentioned the willingness of many to
be content with low standard of
work. i.
High School Social Activities" was
presented by Miss Arlie Salmons, who
reported the plans of the social COM
mittee, Each class IN the high school
may have two parties during the year;
each class in the junior high school
may have one party during the year.
The amusement is to be something
other than dancing at the school par
ties. A motion was made that the
parties of the high school students
close at 1880 p. m. and the junior high
parties at 10 o'clock; which was car
ried.
Mid Year Promotion" was ably
discussed by Principal Jones. The
two main points he made were that
the mid-year students are at a dis
advantage; also that without the mid
year promotion, schools may be run
more economically.
Work for Deserving Girls was
presented by Miss Mallory. Those
present took part in the discussion
of the topics, each one having in mind
the best interests of the pupil; having
a desire to promote the social life al
the same time secure the most eff
cient school work, The president

Appointment.

That reduced freight rates can be
reasonably expected in the near flu
ture on major western crops is the
word brought back. from Pocatello by
John Smeed, president of the local
Commercial club, who attended a
meeting there of representatives from
most of the major towns of Idaho and
officials fthe Union Pacific railroad.
Lower rates, already obtained for hay,
were asked on potatoes, grain, live
stock and other Idaho products.
Pressure will be brought to bear as
a result of this meeting for the appoint
ment of western man to the inter
state commerce commission to sue
ceed at least one of the present men,
bers of the board whose term expires
shortly. At present, according to Mr.
Smeed, there is no memeber of the
interstate commerce commission lives

it is felt that the commission cannot

GIRL OF TODAY CARES
NOT FOR MARRIAGE.

To my mind there can be no sue
cess in marriage unless the girl Is
something more than the everyday
painted, powdered, ridiculous speci-
men that meets the eye at the pres
ent time. 1t is disgusting to view
the young girls of the present day
with their eyebrows pulled out to
a hair line, their lips under a cake
of grease. their faces painted like
barn door and their silly, ridiculous
talk.
The present everyday girl of to-
day cares not a jot for marriage. or
rather for what marriage SHOULD
signify. To be sure each and ev-
cry one Of them prays and works
for a rich match. but by marriage
l intend to imply q home. that is a
home.
Every good wife should know
something Of domestic science. I
do not mean every wife should do
the cooking; far from 1t. but some
thing more than a knowledge Of the
latest kinds Of hair-remover is nec-
essary to true happiness in we'd
lock.
The modern girl Is not beautiful.
she Is ludicrous. am aware that
there are some girls, who do not
care for these petty frivolities, but
they are few and far between. II
there are any readers for this let
ter they will say that I am either
