EDUCATORS AROUSE ENTHUSl-
Assn At BOARD OF TRADE
-lNTERESTlNG SESSION.

yesterday. and the educators who
represented them aroused much en-
thusiasm The first to be heard was
C. NJ Miller of the department Of
English in the state university at
Moscow. He first commented upon
the large attendance OF business men
at the board Of trade meeting which
evidenced a commendable interest in
public affairs and a disposition to
work together for the common good.
He expressed much qualification at
meeting many graduates of the uni
versity and the prominent positions
they occupied i'm community affairs.
The university is now 80 years old
and he predicted that another 80
years would find 75 per cent Of the
leaders In public thought would be
graduates from Moscow. That Is
this would be the case il the people
of Idaho sent their sons and daugh-
ters to their own university rather
than to the schools Of other states
He pointed out the value or friend
ships formed at the university where
young men and women from all parts
of the state meet and form attach
ments that remain throughout their
lives. These associations at the uni
versity he said would accomplish
more than anything else toward re-
moving the barrier between north
and south Idaho. Pror Miller inn
pressed upon his hearers that sup
port of the educational institutions
of the state was part of the proper
work of the board of trade and call
ed particular attention to the Day

mines and urged the board of trade
to see that boys in the schools took
the required examinations for this
scholarship

This latter had been remedied by /
law, which within few years viii /
make it impossible for teachers to /

attendance at the Lewiston normal /
