State Teachers
Urge improvements

The meetings in Boise last week of
the teachers and county superintend-
ents was marked by movement to
raise the standard requirements of
teachers as well as to increase the
salaries in their profession. Mrs.
Grace Faulconer, superintendent of
Bingham county schools, attended
the meetings and believes that much
constructive work was accomplished
for education in Idaho.
She was particularly impressed by
the addresses of J. J. Rae of Burley,
president of the state teachers as
ISOLATION, A. r. Siders of Pocatello
and President Lindley of the Uni
versity of Idaho.
President Lindley made strong
plea for higher attainments in edu-
cation, and in line with his ideas a
campaign will be made in southeast
ern Idaho to induce eighth grade
pupils to go thru high school and
high school graduates to continue
into college in their own state.
A paper read by Miss Pearl Lam
son Ol SdlldS Guilty, VII tHC IiOdt
ment of retarded pupils made such
an impression on the assembled
teachers that arrangements were
made to have it printed in the Idaho
Teacher. The matters taken up in
the business meeting will also be
published in that magazine.
Resolutions of coincidence were
passed to be sent to the family Of G..
A. Axline, former president of the
Albion state normal school, who died
early last fall. His work for educa-
ton in Idaho has found lasting
appreciation among all workers in
the field.
The meeting definitely recognized
the ruling Of the state board of edu-
cation in the matter Of teachers
certificates. No permits to teach
will henceforth be granted. The
teacher must have a valid certificate
before commencing to teach in any
Idaho school.
An address by ]. w. Condie on the
advantages and disadvantages of the
county unit system was favorably re-
ceived. His exposition of the subject
presented many sound reasons for
doing away with local school dis

Chapter III.

Chapter III.
In the last chapter ! said that
man with fortune favoring MIN
might succeed for while whether
he tried hard or not, and conversely,
I want to say that a man who stops
at nothing in the way OF difficulties
may hold his own Notwithstanding
natural handicaps even where the
results obtained are not worth his
efforts. A man in such position
should remember that there are bet
ter fields and better places for his
activities. There are newspaper
men in Idaho today, who are wear
ing themselves out in localities
where they are not needed, and
places where just such men are
needed are doing without. A careful
analysis of conditions would bring
about a happy change and just now
is a good time to consider such mat
tiers, when the famine in print paper
is threatening to close out one paper
out of every five.
The Illustration l Promised
l said would give an illustration
of a man doing newspaper work
where it was useless, and here 1t Is.
In June, 1903 my lease expired on
the Mackay Telegraph, and during
the term of the lease had just made
expenses. l had learned great deal
during the lease, and thought that
if could buy it could build up a
profitable business on a dead-hard
proposition. could buy the plant
and the real estate it stood on for
$4,000 and l borrowed $1,000 to
make the first payment apd we put
the deed in escrow thrust till l fin
ished paying.) 1t took me nine
years and six months to get posses
sion of the deed, due to the fact that
the payments were that long in be-
ing completed.
Reason for Slowness
My newspaper was situated at the
end of a spur of railroad in town
where the population is scattered for
100 miles thru the mountains in one
direction and from few miles to
sixty in other directions. People did
their buying chiefly in the spring
and fall, excepting those who lived
at the mining camp in and about the
town. The mining operations were
carried on chiefly by one company in
the White Knob mountain high up
above the town, and it had its COM
pany store and natural drift of bust
ness to it's one center. The few
stores and businesses in the berg
could not afford to pay much for ad-
vertising service to appeal to the few
people in the camp, and it was use
less for them to address their appeal
to the ranchers and miners who
