TO FILL VACANCIES
LOCAL INSTITUTION ASKED
TO PROVIDE MANY RE.
LIGIOUS LEADERS.

The College of Idaho has been sell
ected as one of the three inland en-
pire institutions to furnish trained re-
ligious leaders in the mission and
home fields as. announced by the In
ter-church World movement Nearly
90 per cent of the trained religious
leaders and workers in home and mis-
sion fields come from these institu
tons, namely Spokane University,
Whitmorc college of Spokane and the
College of Idaho. These institutions
have been called upon to train several
thousand additional missionaries dur
ing the next five years. Numerous
other UNCONVENTIONAL colleges and
secondary schools are listed by lead
ers of the Inter church World move
ment for the benefits of higher educa-
ton to this cause.
TOO little attention has been paid
to the question of Christian education
/ in the preparatory schools" according
to these leaders. 1t is clearly shown
that the majority of men make their
decisions for hfe's work near the
close of his secondary school training.
The Interchurch world NOV cment
calls for thousands of workers for po
sitions. 1t is estimated that at least
there are 5000 vacancies every year in
the pupits of the church of America
With anly 1900 trained men to fill
these positions. Twelve hundred
! have had some college and theological
, seminary training. There are at leas

Many New Water Taps
Indicate City Growth

Forty water meters have been
installed in Caldwell since jan
nary and applications for 20
more are on file at the office of
Swain Beatty, head of the city
water department. About 90 per
cent OF these taps are for city
residences and are considered as
fairly reliable criterion OF the in
creasing number of Caldwell
homes. Residence building ac-
tivity, instead of hating because
of the high price OF labor and ma
terials. seems to be destined to
exceed that CT last year. Many
new residences are springing up
