1t is also agreed among the ed

will probably be made to secure
a larger minimum salary for this

law is adopted it should be OPP

whether or not to adopt the plan.
Further matters to be brought
up by the legislative committee
are improvements in the existing
laws relative to rural high
schools; the simplification Of the
laws governing teachers certifi-

tax levy for school districts; a
proposed law governing teachers

| The Industrial history of Minsk

There, in the early nineties of the last
century, group Of dilettantes formed
Working Mans union, later more
accurately termed the Union for
Struggle. PRONUNCIATION Of literature,
smuggled into the country or printed
in secret, was major activity of this
group in Minsk. Few workingmen be-
longed to it.
In the course Of five years these
groups, working in Moscow, ST. Pc
tersburg and Minsk, had accumulated
a number Of followers, few of whom
agreed. They gave wide publicity to
the doctrines Of Marx, mixed indis-
crirninately with every variety of rad

such a diversity of aims little was
accomplished, and it was with the
hope of formulating a definite pro-
gram that the Union for Struggle and
a committee of the Jewish bund held
their notable convention at Minsk in
1893 From that meeting arose the
Social Democratic Working Mems
party.
Minsk is built upon the Svislotck
river, nearly 500 miles southwest OF
Moscow by rail, and has a population
Of 10000, fully half of whom are

Country Paper Chronicles Real
America.

The funny fellows of the biz
city newspapers who find con
slant material for jests in the per
sonal items Of the country pa
pers, overlook the fact that th'
two lines telling that 'Sthe Ton
Smiths of Dugan Road Sundaye6
with the William Browns of Fair
mont" is not nearly so absurd as
the metropolitan papers half
page, with pictures, about the
Vanastors weekend with the
Gouldfishes at Newport.
Indeed, it is not absurdity at
all, but vitality good newspaper
work for the country newspaper
to chronicle in the familiar YER
nacular the doings of substantial
people known to all in their COM
munities. To those who do not
know the life of the smaller cit
les these personal mentions may
seem insignificant and funny, but
they are the very life blood of the
country paper. Most people take
a local paper to get the local hap
penings. The paper must be true
to the life Of its community.
In the country daily or weekly
are no juggling with shining
names that to the readers are
mere names; no sensational
spreads on stage divorces; there
is little account Of sordid crime
and tawdry immortality; but
there is ceaseless effort for corr
munity betterment, respect for
sterling character and record of
achievements and enjoyments of
people worth while, whom city
readers could profit to know.
The country paper in reporting
the simple things Of wholesome
life is chronicling the real Amer
lea; for the real America, where
life is at its best and most fruit
full, where the strength Of the ma
ton is rooted, where its wealth is
created and its best and more vir-
lie ideals are born and cherished,
lies outside the great cities. The
character and career Of the ma
ton are built up not of great
headline events, but Of infinitely
multiform little doings Of the mil |

Teachers In Convention at Boise
This Week.

Prospects for "a large attend
ance at the annual meeting of the
Idaho State Teachers Associa-
ton at Boise, November Is, p
and ~ are unusually bright. The
state association has aroused ex-
traordinary interest in education-
al affairs on the part Of all the
teachers Of the state. This year
for the first time, all classes of
teachers will be represented in
the state association. The revised
constitution provides for mem
Der Of the state executive commit
tee from each of the six institute
districts and all members Of the
association are priviledged to
vote for the officers. Following
the report of the nominating COM
mittee at the Boise meeting bal
lots will be sent to all members
throughout the state. The new
plan means that the teachers as
ISOLATION will be conducted in al
more democratic way. There are
at present about $500 teachers of
the 1000 in the state who are
members Of the state association.
This is a splendid record for the
first year.
Perhaps the most important
feature aside from the program
of the meeting, is the report Of
the Legislative committee oil
which Supt. ]. B. Turner Of Pay
cite is chairman. This committed
will bring up legislative matters
to be discussed by the association
and to serve as recommendations
to the coming legislature.
Among the more important
items to come up for discussion
are the following:
The creation Of a state wide
tax to produce from 500 to $25
per school child in the state. This
important provision will serve to
equalize the cost Of running thel
public schools by affording relief
to the poorer districts. The state
of Washington has already set
the pace with similar legislation.
Another proposal is the crea-
ton of the office of high school
inspector. This idea is in keep
ing with the provisions of more
states 1t is also pro-
posed to inaugurate state health

ny NINE. CURIE.
DlscOverer of Radium.

PARIS. April 1s.-The fact that al
though radium is a French discovery.
only one gramme of the precious
substance is owned by France has
led to an invention almost as tmpor-
tant as that of radium itself. the SUBJ
stitutions OF emanations from the
rays Of radium for the substance
proper. s'aN
After years or experiments in my
laboratory have just succeeded In
extracting from radium gas "ema-
nation" which, concentrated In tiny
crystal tubes, Is fully as eficac:ous a
cure OF cancer and other diseases as
radium itself
In this way 1t is possible to con-
centrate a minimum volume OF the
substance and develop il into almost
incredible force. These emanating
tubes were. first tested in the war
with French wounded. They proved
highly successful
But to perfect this epoch making
invention IL will be necessary to pur-
chase another gramme of radium
which will cost $500 900. but will be
worth the price. For. from this one
gramme we can fill hundreds of the
little crystal tubes and put the ema
nations to use in treating those dis
eases for which radium so far has
been the sole cure.
