WAITER IN CAFE FINDS
 HE IS HEIR TO S4o,ooo

PHOENIX. Nov. 22-To get up in the morning and return to the hum drum of waiting CT counter patrons O: 8 restaurant and to retire the same evening worth more than s40000 reads like an effort from the pen of a Horatio Alger. Yet that was man ner in which Hugh S Kincaid passed yesterday.
 Kincaid was apprised of his good fortune after a long all day search for him. He had just finished his days work at the Phoenix restaurant on First street near Jefferson street. when the reporter found him. It had been a tiring day and the evening of fered no unusual diversion. but was kincaid overioyed at the turn in events? Not unduly. It was all in the game .of hsc. Was he going 10 attempt the realization of some long harbored wish? He didn't know. Just now he has no plans, he said. Would he return to the east? No, sir. 1very emphatically). He has been too long in the west to ever be contented anywhere else, especially, in the east. No. Phoenix and Arizona are plenty good enough for any man. he said.
 Kincaid was sought by relatives at Athens. H.. for several months. Last night he stated that he had written home al least once a month, but it was his opinion that the mail had been misdirected. as he had not re- ceived replies to his letters for IS months or more. At any rate. his whereabouts were unknown to his family.
 He left Illinois first in 1908 and spent three years in Arizona and other western states. He returned home and lived for some time in Hi nois. but the urge of the new country was too strong and he came west again in 1916. A short time was spent .n the coast and then he lived in one state after another, finally coming to Arizona.
 He was last heard Of in Greeley. Colo. At the time of his mothers fatal illness. every effort was made to reach him. but it was unavailing. After her death another search was instituted and a week ago a brother, 4. S. Kincaid. arrived in Greeley. But until yesterday. no success rewarded hix efforts.

Basement Rooms

1t is necessary to use three base
ment rooms. This is not a desirable
arrangement, but is the best we can
do under the circumstances. Those
who are unfortunate enough to have
children in these rooms, please con-
slider our situation and remember
that when more room was voted on
the matter was decided against more
room. Perhaps some of the same pa
rents who were against more room
will have children in a basement.
Those who are sent into the base
ment will be chosen by lot, and no
one will be favored or Disseminated
against. In case the doctors advice
is against any particular child going
into one of these rooms we will be
glad to make an exception.

his other education obtained in a
public school. If we should all lose
our education tonight there isn't a
business house in town that could
proceed tomorrow because of lack Of
ability to read, not considering other
things. The best way to appreciate
the value of education is to imagine
what our country would lose with
out it. BY doing this we can get
an estimate of its cost in relation to
its value. Our school administration
is doing its best to hold down costs,
but has to contend with the fact
that the best materials and the best
teachers go where they receive the
best compensation.

Purpose of Public School

Our public schools are maintained
to help produce intelligent and pa
triotic citizenship without reference
to color or creed. They were never
intended to solve all of our national
problems and their best friends do
not claim this virtue for them. They
succeed least when they try to do
too much, and crowd out the dis
tinctly educational subjects. The
home and church have functions
which the schools of all the people
cannot undertake without destroy
ing much that they are now doing.
The school should give its moral sup
port to all that is good regardless of
what institution is putting it for
ward. Anyone who is close OBJ
server cannot doubt that our coun-
try and probably the whole civilized
world, has suffered a lapse in man
ners and morals the past few years.
This is not confined to the children,
however. The school should help in
bringing back a condition that is
safe and sound along all lines. 1t
has not the solution of all these prob
lens, but may help aid in their solu-
ton. They cannot be solved without
the great mass of people improving
themselves from within and by act
ually putting Christian principles
into practice. When our children go
wrong the cause is usually farther
back and the school cannot reach
that far for the present generation.
It is a sad fact that sometimes the
home is the source of evil as well as
of good.

We have tried to secure the best
teachers obtainable with the re-
sour es available. Patrons and pa
rents are invited TO visit our school
and become acquainted with the
teachers and the work which they
are doing.

In Conclusion

The school is yours to very large
degree. You pay for its support in
order to give your children an edu-
cation and to maintain an intelligent
citizenship. We will try to give you
the best service conditions will per-
nit. and these conditions are created
by all of us. The purpose of this
article is to try TO point out some
ways of helping to make a better
school, not to criticise adversely. Our
school desires your good will and
greatest measure of support. Some
students succeed exceptionally we'll,
some moderately well and a few fail.
The few who fail may not be to
blame in all instances. A failure of
a student unusual in any respect
often receives more attention than a
hundred normal successful ones.
Any student will be given chance
to reform his personal department if
II is bad, but will not be allowed to
interfere with the welfare of others
earnestly trying to get an education.
There is no short cut to education,
and no invention has ever been made
to make it entirely painless. To get
much from it much must be put into
it. We hope that parents will help
impress their children with the fact
that things worth while must be
worked for to be obtained and APP
preciated.
Our school wishes TO perform its
humble part in helping make the
boys and girls of Mountain Home the
best citizens possible. It's success
will depend very largely on outside
conditions and environment. Any
child who has good home and
church training along with the
proper educational advantages should
succeed in later years. Under pres
ent conditions these three great
forces are having a hard fight to
bring up our children right. If all !
cooperate we will have another Sue
cessful school year. We are always /
ready TO confer with parents and pa
irons concerning the welfare of the |
children. Any having facilities for /
boarding or rooming students or
teachers will confer favor by let
ting me know so that can pass the
information to those desiring it.

Cost of Education

The cost of education has in
creased the last few years along with
the cost of other things. If study
of the matter is made it will be found
that the percentage of increase has
not been as great in most instances.
Some writers have tried to make 1t
appear that most of the increased
taxation and most of the taxes paid
are for school purposes. The facts
are that schools have sacrificed more
in Idaho during the past two years
than any other cost in our govern
ment. Courses have been eliminated
and in some cases teachers salaries
have been cut The tax statement In
any county is the only right author
ity TO determine where taxes are go
ing. For the past few years our dis
trict has levied ten-mill special
tax. Almost every other Glass A
independent district in the state has
been levying fifteen and some have
had to levy twice this much by spe-
ciaI privileges granted as emergency
measures by the state legislature.
Education is now considered as
necessity and state law requires
certain amount of time spent in
school by all students. The cost IN
Idaho is still several million dollars
less than the upkeep cost of automo-
biles annually. This fact is vouched
for by our last state convention of
bankers and as is pointed out, it does
not include the original cost OF the
Nationally we spent sew
eral hundred million of dollars more
for all kinds of tobacco than we do
for all kinds of public school easea--
tion. Our last commencement speak
er, Mr.. o. o. Haga, a wen-known
lawyer and business man, made the
startling statement that in 1920 our
nation spent more for luxuries and
than it had spent on
all kinds of education during its
whole history, including that year
He based his statements on figures
given out by the United States Treas
ury Department.
Our education costs money, but in
to results the cost is not
excessive Those who have had stu
dents educated by private teachers
and in private schools know that II
costs much more that way. Many
student has cost several times as
much for his musical education, pri-

Scholarship


Fine scholarship is something very
worthy of being sought after. The
student who is satisfied with barely
passing will make the man who is
satisfied if he merely exists. Investi-
cations carried on by some of our
large universities have shown that
their honor students have been very
largely the men who have distin-
guished themselves after they left
college. These same investigations
have shown that with few exceptions
poor students have made poor show
ings after leaving school. Habits Of
industry promptness, patience and
cheerfulness can be developed in the
school years better than later.
Each year a large number of first
year high school students fail in at
least part of their work. Some
lose ground in their other years also.
When the fourth year is reached
the student makes an eleventh hour
effort by trying to make extra cred
its in order to graduate. Sometimes
he succeeds and sometimes he fails.
The teacher is often blamed and
sometimes must look for another po-
sition. If any student gets good
start in school work he is almost as
sured of pleasant sailing afterwards.
He is a joy to teacher and parent.
Due to the increased demand for
and the cost of higher education,
most of our large universities have
waiting lists of students. They
choose whom they want and natu-
rally take those worthy of later re-
hecting credit on their university.
This practice started in the East and
is now practiced by most of our large
we'll known institutions. Leland
Stanford University stated during
the last school year that it took only
half of the young men who were APP
plicants for admission and only one
young lady out of four. 1t keeps a
waiting list, but will take an espe-
cially worthy student if he has high
grade scholarship, industry, person
ality, clean habits and native ability
at any time With the great demand
for entrance and the higher cost of
these great schools are JUS
tilted in wedding out the least de-
sirable applicants. Some students
who have failed to get into these |
large universities have tried to dodge |
heir personal responsibility for 1t
and blamed it to their high schools.
This is easily disproved when it is
pointed out that their more capable
have entered the same in
;titutions without effort. What the
University wants is promising stu
tents and will take them from any
accredited high school whether it be
n Mountain Home or Chicago. In I
.hese days any student who is wor-
.hy will find little difficulty in going
where he wants to seek an education.
students looking forward to entrance
% any large university should find
is entrance requirements, pick his
high school course accordingly and
ret the best grades he is capable of
earning.
