Dr. Il. A Bryan, commissioner OF
education and Stanly Easton, chair
man of the University of Idaho execu-
tive committee, were the principal
speakers at the chamber of commerce
luncheon Wednesday, both expressing
themselves as we'll pleased with the
prospects for a successful year at the
university, and both commenting on
Moscow's loyalty to the university,
and the excellent work accomplished
In paving the way, through the Uni
verslty OF Idaho Building association

take care of the additional students,
thus making possible further growth
Certain of Safe Maintenance
Dr. Bryan stated that no matter
what the result of the election may
be, he felt certain that the university
may count on an appropriation suf-
ficient to maintain the institution sat
isfactorily through the next biennium
He also expressed the hope that mon
ey would be appropriated for a
science hall, but said that this was
less certain than the adequate ap-
preparation for maintenance.
Dr. Bryan spoke of the splendid
support Moscow and the chamber of
commerce is giving the university,
and the educational systems of the
state generally, and said that for the
most part the states school system
was functioning in excellent shape.
While much is heard of the hard fl
nanciaI straits of some of the school
districts, he said that out of 1900
common school districts in the state,
1000 do not levy up to the ten mills
allowed by law, while $50 do not make
any special levy at all, depending en-
tirely on the county levy and state
apportionment. In some of the larger
communities, where high schools are
maintained, he said that the school
finances are not of the best, due to
the influx to these schools and the
expenses necessary in maintaining
large, well equipped high schools.

of the university executive commit
tee, stated that while the board of
education and the board of regents

credit for the very satisfactory growth
of the university, every community
having it's enthusiastic boosters in
alumni members.

great work the city of Moscow is
doing for the institution especially in

citation, making possible the construc-
ton of needed dormitories.
