COB8LER As TEACHER
GIVES AID TO BOYS
Cooperation His Scheme of Life
and Better Men for City His
Great Ambition.

His scheme Of life is cooperation.
Lis ambition, which has flared for
more than three-score years, Is to In.
culcate in boys, particularly boys Of
the poorer city districts. the logic Of
doing right for rights sake.
Upon first glance at Jacob Kurtz, In
his black frock coat which buttons up
high to Roman collar, and his broad,
black soft hat, one might take him for
clergyman.
But he isn't. He Is cObbier.
And he spends his days and part Of
his nights at Olivet institute, Chicago,
teaching the boys Of that vicinity how
to mend WORKOUT shoes.
II have an enrolment Of 100 boys"
explains Mr.. Kurtz with his kindly,
sincere smile, which makes one think
of Grayson's Adventure In Content
ment." "But Of course it isn't posi-
BILE to give each of the 100 my per-
sonal attention, so take five boys each
hour.
1--WE have class every day from four
to five and every evening from seven
to nine, and we mend five pairs of
shoes each hour"
Cobbling shoes is not all the boys
learn at these classes.
Here are some OF the don'ts and
musts handed down during the class
hour:
Don't ask your brother or sister
to do your work"
Don't get up late In the morning."
Don't forget pennies make dollars"
Don't forget that children who
honor their teachers in day school and
church-for preachers are teachers
will obtain good name"
you must build your own charac-
ter"
"YOu must do right to be right"
"You must gather your own store of
knowledge"
Mr.. Kurtz makes 1t a point to visit
the home Of each boy in his class.
Part of his advice to parents Is to
reason with their children.
"a boy should know the reason why
The Bingham County news. [volume] (Blackfoot, Idaho) 1918-1930, 1921-08-12

he should not steal; he Should Know
the reason why he should not lie, the
reason why he must go to school, the
reason why a good name Is to be chos-
en- rather than great riches" he ex-
plains.
Sunday Mr.. Kurtz, accompanied by
boys Of his class, IL going forth to lee
ture on the street corners.
The object Of the lectures Is to in
crease the membership In his classes
and decrease the interest of the boys
In the neighborhood gangs.

the Irish peace solution is effected BY

points:

same status as Canada, Australia, New
Zealand and South Africa with one
reservation; IT must pay its portion
of the national war dept; the Sim
lfein must give reasonable guarantees
to the unionist minority in south Ire
land. Should Ulster not wish to join
the free state, 1t may keep its present
status. Should the British parlia-
ment not sanction the pact, the gov
ernment may submit 1t at a general
election, Birkenhead predicted.
In Historic Room.
Lord Birkenhead outlined the new
Irish pact before "a meeting of the
conservative party. The pact was sign

decision to enter the war was also
