PRACTICAL EDUCATION

The child's brain is susceptible of
the highest development, but il
should be developed along the line
of its inclinations and for practical
purposes. If ever there was a time
when sanity in education was
needed, now is that time. Our
schools and colleges are educating
the youth of this land away from
the natural tendencies and from the
human instincts of well developed
boys and girls.
The education of TODAY seems to
destroy initiative, self-reliance, cour-
age, and a desire for self-support.
The educational system of today
has apparently destroyed the desire
on the part of children to be con-
tributing members of society. They
seem to think that the state owes
them something because it gives
them a free education. There are
very few boys learning to be master
mechanics. The majority are trying
TO hnd an elevator by which they
can ride to the top story of Success.
Success was never reached BY an
elevator. The mountain peak OF
Success can be reached only by
climbing over the rocks and by n
during the hardships, dangers, and
difficulties.

this country had to depend upon

American master mechanics, the
factories of the land would have to
close. The majority Of the master
mechanics controlling the factories
today have been trained in foreign
schools. There are very few appren-
tees. We have permitted the tyran.
meal labor unions of the country to
destroy the school of apprentices.
The idea of organizations or insti-
tutions arbitrarily saying how many
apprentices they will permit to be
trained! Such a tyrannical sugges-
ton from an organization should
not be permitted. Such a doctrine
is a damnable curse to the manufac-
turing plants of this land.
Men Of brains and money should
spend their time and none and
their energy in founding, erecting,

the great mechanical trades of life.
There should be a great technology
cal school in every city of this land,
and our boys should be encouraged
to learn trades, to master trades,
and to become masters in their
trades.

pers, too many clerks, too many
nonentities, and too few technically
trained mechanics coming from the
pubic schools of country.

WHEN is GRAVEL
NOT GRAVEL

When does gravel become rock?
Is there any particular stage in its
growth when it ceases to be one and
becomes the other? Motorists will
tell you that the newly gravelled
highway between American Falls and
Pocatello is not a ~gravelled highway
but a rocky road to nowhere, because
it takes so long to traverse it.
Local people long for the old sand
road that twisted through the sage
brush in years gone by. The man

THE TAXPAYERS PAID
FOR THIS.

The case of Brandt VS.. Bail Illus
trates the contention Of the Press that
the present prosecuting attorney is an
unwarranted expense to the county,
is not protecting the public whom ne
is elected to serve, and should mot be
renominated at the Republican pri-
maries August first. The instance cited
is merely one of a dozen that could be
related in behalf of the Press conten-
ton.
The prosecuting attorney flied a
complaint with the county clerk al
Lodging that Ball assaulted Brandt
with a deadly weapon with intent to
commit murder, at Pauline, March
18th, 1921. The case was called in dis
trict court October sixth, 1921. Three
attorneys from P~ocatello, the defen-
dant w. II. Ball and his several wit
nesses, the plaintiff Ed. Brandt, and
the state witnesses were all present
and drew salaries for their services.
Fifty jurors were called for this one
case. Twelve were finally selected to
sit. The state put its two star wit
uesses on the stand and had them res-
tify.
Then the attorney for the defense
asked LudL Tie case De UdSulISS6u DIS Tic
complaint of the prosecuting attorney
had not stated a crime against the
state. The judge sustained the judg-
ment of the plaintiffs attorney but
condescendingly ruled that the prose-
cutting attorney should file a e and
amended complaint. The jury was dis
missed, the witnesses were allowed to
go home and all the expense and time
was for nothing. Jurors are paid
three dollars a day for their time. Wit
nesses receive two dollars for each
day. Attorneys must be paid. The
judge receives Sill a day, the court
stenographer nearly as much. The
sheriff was paid mileage for notify
ing the many witnesses. In addition
there was the expense Of filing pa
pers, %janitor service, service of bailiff
and numerous other small items.
The carelessness of the prosecuting
attorney in this one a alone cost
the county around $500. Power county
taxpayers car reduce taxes materially
by electing an efficient man TO the
office of prosecuting attorney.
