EDUCATOR TAKES ISSUE
WITH THOMAS A. EDISON
SAYS WIZARD NEEDS EDUCATED
MEN-EXPLAlNS PRESENT
SYSTEM.

The assertion recently made los
Thomas A. Edison that our present
educational system is a failure has
drawn out expressions from heads OF
great business and industrial estab-
lishments and from leading educators
in which they take issue with the
wizard of Orange The basis of Mr.
Edison's startling conclusion rests
largely upon the results obtained by
a QUESTIONABLE he uses in oulling out
applicants for positions in his great
plant Recently out of 500 applicants.
he says, only % answered enough Of
the questions to secure "a place in the
eligible list. He says he has been
using this system for 80 years. and
has now reached the conclusion that
the educational system is at fault
However. he does not arraign the col
leges, for he says the damage is done
in the primary schools. lie says it
occurs between the ages of II and H.
During that period the pupil must
get a keen interest in some simple
science. or some little mechanical
thing or i'm some elementary art or
in some force of nature. If they are
not so awakened the evil takes hold
of them. and for all the good they
will do in the world i'm after life they
are the same as dead" Mr. Edison
advocates doing away with books to
a great extent in the primary schools
and teaching science. art mechanics,
literature, etc, by moving pictures
The New York Herald publishes re-
plies to Mr. Edisons statement from
several prominent business and cdn-
cational men one of these was

of mines. engineering and chemistry

In response TO the invitation of the
New York Herald to comment from
the standpoint of Columbia university
upon the recent criticisms of our edu-
cational system made by Mr. Edison

is that he absolutely needs educated

terms is the use Of knowledge for the

SCHOOLS FAVOR
DEBATE LEAGUE
HOPE TO STAGE FIRST TILE BE-
TWEEN SECTIONAL CHAMPS
EARLY NEXT SPRING.

Eighty percent of the high schools
in Idaho already heard from are
strongly in favor of immediate forma-
tion of state high school debate lea-
que, according to Professor c. w
Chenoweth, University of Idaho de-
bate coach who, at the suggestion OF
state high schools, is securing opin-
ions from all high school principals
and debate managers regarding the
feasibility of forming the league.
University authorities believe that the
league will be functioning within a
short time and that the first state
champion debate team will be decided
that year.
Practically the only schools looking
unfavorably on the league were those
Of a smaller size which would be UNI
able to bear the burden of supporting
a team.
Tentative plans, submitted the high
schools in the queries by Professor
Chenoweth, call for district divisions
similar to those used in the all-state
athletic contests. The essential diff
ference between the two branches
will be the necessity of holding an in
creased number of local debates. This
local process of elimination will be
continued until a victorious northern
and southern Idaho team can be de-
termined. The two sectional victors
will then be brought to the university
where the final contest, to decide
state championship, will be held
Although several suggestions have
been received by the university no
question has yet been decided upon.
1t is most likely that no action will be
taken on the matter of choosing a
question until formation of the league
is definitely assured. In all probable
ity the final contest at the university
will be held about the middle of May.

Edward Schultz also pleaded guilty

of tender years and school students,
the charge was not pushed and the
youths were placed on good behavior.
The boys are arrested for stealing

FIREMEN'S BALL
A Big SUCCESS
DIFFICULT DRILL AND ELABOR-
ATE DECORATIONS ARE
FEATURES OF EVENT

/ The Thirteenth annual fireman's S
ball, held last night at the university
gymnasium, was largely attended and
quite a number of people from Lew
iston and other nearby towns came
to Moscow for the event. 1t is esti-
mated that from 400 to 450 couples
took part.
At $3.50. the festivities were started
with the firemens drill, an annual
feature of the ball, in which 36 fire
men took part. Though they had but
a short time for practice, under the
leadership of Carl Smith, fire chief,
the men went through the maneuvers
in excellent style and drew frequent
applause from the audience that lined
the sides of the gymnasium and pack
ed the balcony overhead. Marching
in single file, the men first formed
the letters M. F. D. and then went
into more difficult formations.
Z The hall was profusely decorated
in patriotic scheme of red, white
and blue. Hanging from the ceiling
were great number of large flags
while the balcony railing and walls
were touched up with bunting.
AS the drill came to a close, the
firemen came to a halt in two lines
facing each other in the center of the
hall and to the tune of the Star
Spanked Banner Uncle Sam, with
a soldier on one side and a sailor on
the other, entered carrying the stars
and stripes. AS the trio left, the fire
men fell in behind them and exited.
Sergeant Eugene Nagele, directed the
drill
Stripping off their rubber coats,
the firemen rushed back in and hast

BIRTHS IN STATE
AHEAD OF DEATHS
REPORT SHOWS 11,437 BIRTHS
AND 3,S7S DEATHS IN 192f-
MALES in LEAD.

Idaho birth rate for 1921 is almost
exactly three times the death
rate for the same year, according to a
report completed Wednesday by the
bureau of vital statistics in the office
of the state medical adviser and pub
lished in the Idaho Statesman. The
total number Of births for the year
was 1,437, while a total of 1878 per-
sons died in the same time.
Statistics for December show there
were 1894 births reported as against
573 deaths Males lead in the month
for the number of births with a total
of S67. They also maintained lead
in the number of deaths in both the
month and the year, but the diff
ference between the number of girl
and boy births for the year is smaller
than the difference between the num-
Der of male and female deaths in the
same time. The total number of male
deaths in 1921 was 2241 and of fe-
male 1887.
The color of all children born in
December in the state was white and
the report shows that there were only
two colored births reported during
the whole year. There were 13 pairs
of twins born during December out
of the 1884 births reported. Stillborn
children totaled "a and two were pre-
mature. Five were illegitimate Chill
dren born of foreign parents totaled
175 in December.
Eighty-nine pairs of twins were re-
ported during the year out of the total
of more than 11,000 Illegitimate
children totaled 81 and stillborn and
premature together totaled 263 Those
of foreign born parentage in 1921
totaled 1858.
