ess that Suzzalo is and that the change
would mean a loss, in lessened
efficiency, and possibly dissatisfaction
in the school, which would mean many
times the amount of the salary. The
man is the responsible head of a
great Institution, involving heavy in
vestment and the future of young peo-
plea job which calls for a big man
and the regents no doubt felt that
they could not afford to let some other
institution take him away from them.
Administrative ability is in demand
and if one institution won't pay the
price, some other will.

A JOB FOR YOUR BOY.
What shall l make of my boy?'
many an anxious parent is asking to-
day as he realizes the overcrowded
condition of his own trade or profess
sion.
The boy will probably make or I'M
make himself without much aid from
the old man, but meantime, why not
turn his thoughts toward the science
of chemistry, if he be at all studious-
ly inclined? Here we have a field ex-
panding in all directions like a dam
pened yeast cake.
Last year American industry spent
more than $40, 00O, 900 in scientific re-
search, most of it in experiments in
chemistry in the laboratory.
AS a result of this expenditure,
$500, 000, 900 is saved annually by in
dustry in the country. The value Of
scientific research has never been so
fully appreciated as it is today.
Yes, chemistry. offers a fine; field
for that boy just entering high school
and not knowing what to do with
himself. Every normal boy likes to
+" experiment" and chemistry is the
very heart of scientific investigation.

There recently died in a New York
hospital a physician who had made
himself loved by thousands in his
home city of Newark, by doing good
for others. In the younger days of
himself and wife they had lost a little
one by disease and the physician then
began the study of children's diseases,
and devoted the remainder of his life
to healing children, saving the lives
of many, and making it possible for
others, who were crippled, or invalids,
to get through life without being bur-
dens upon their relatives, OF upon
society. The newspaper reports OF
the mans death stated that all
Newark mourned for him. This mans
life makes the life of any American
millionaire look like a sordid useless
thing.

Moscow will miss the hundreds of
University of Idaho students who will
be absent at their various homes dur-
ing the next two weeks. However,
Moscow residents wish them all a
most delightful Christmas vacation,
and will be glad to welcome them
when they return. In the meantime
it would not be out of place for Mos
COW homes to be opened to those
young people who are compelled, for
one reason or another, to remain here
over the holiday season.

held at the university gymnasium,
January 2, and, as usual, will be one
of the big events of the year in Mos
COW. There is no local institution
more deserving of support and no
Moscow citizens should hesitate to
contribute a dollar for a ticket,
whether he attends or not. The money
does not go to the individual firemen,
as some claim to believe, but is used
for the necessary expenses of the
department, and for new equipment,
such as buying the new siren, which
is soon to be installed, and which was
bought with funds raised in this man
ner by the firemen.
