centers, where thousands lined the
tracks to have one look at the bier
of the great chief as 1t glided by.
People standing by the tracks In
hamlets in the canyon, wishing to
see the train go by, we're gratifed to
have the locomotive act as II 1t had
seen them and slowed down as II 1t
understood. and then quickly put on
power and hurried away when they
had been shown the unexpected
respect.
That was like President Harding,
and that was the instructions of his
good wife to the officials of the road
when she found people waiting for
them along the way. 1t was not the
spirit of the west alone-it was the
spirit of the east and west, all one;
the north, the south and all the 'ex
tremes in . union never known be-
fore even In our own good country.
And these acts that have endeared
the Hardings to those they touched
elbows with along the way, have en-
deared them to all their countrymen
and to men and women beyond the
seas. These things live on In the
hearts of all, and make life sweeter
and better and more worth while.

duct the business of the institution
or go out to see just what is happen
ing on the farm. 1t is true that they
decided In one session, that they
would do what the press of the state
I had been caused to say was In the
doing for a long time. But that was
by resolution in the swivel chairs at
the office.
At another time they had an open
row regarding the matter of whom
they would employ or re-employ for
medical superintendent, and that
row broke up with the resignation of
the superintendent laid before them
and the declaration being made by
Director Wright that he would i'm
mediately resign as proof that he
was not sacrificing the welfare of
the institution to hold his member
ship on the voorhees, board, so the
reports stated, and no denial has
ever been made. That was months
ago, and IL Mr.. Wright and Mr.. Bur-
rel have ever been back to the in
stitution since, II they have done
their simple duty of studying the
condition of crops 1t. is = reproach
upon them that nothing has been
done about it. In our former report
upon the crop conditions we gave the
expert farmer the best of It. by
emitting to say that in one large
meadow the second crop of alfalfa
stood foot high among the cocks of
first crop that lay bleaching and half
hidden-both crops being partly lost
at once. When we had an unscienti-
fic farmer managing the farm,
meadows were not arrayed like that.
Chairman Thoreson lives at Black
foot, and he keeps In closer touch
with the institution, but he cannot
get a meeting. The last official
word was that the management of
the farm was entirely In the hands
of the expert, that the Idaho Falls
member of the board would go home
and resign, and in the meantime a
Boise newspaper has been passing
out interviews saying that the board
wants applications from medical
men for the position of superinten-i
dent.
All of this is reproach upon the
board, or upon such members as are
so studiously staying away from the
and ignoring its needs
What the institution needs is a.
farmer; not doctor. And II they
decide to accept the resignation Of
the present medical superintendent
1t ought to be impressed upon some
body's mind not to send to the uni
versity to select a man to take his
place, unless the board will come
around at times to see what he Is
doing.

OBSTRUCTIONISTS
IN EDUCATION

Last week we gave q review OF
some of the troubles of university
presidents and professors at Knox
Vile, Tenn, and mentioned q book
on psychology entitled, 1.-The Mind
in the Making, :. that was -ruthlessly
ordered back to the publishers as
being unfit for the students to read
We supposed It must be something
justify such action, and got copy At
the Blackfoot library, and gave 1t an
evenings study.
We did not find 1t at all radical,
nor anything that could be objection
able on moral grounds. 1t merely
pointed out mental action that all
can observe in nature II they think
to look, and the ground of the uni
versity mans objection must have
been that he did not want the stu
dents to notice natural action as 1t
Is done. There was one little pun
in the book that seemed funny. 1t
stated that civilization begins where
nature is modified. 1t Is natural for
a timber squirrel to lay up nuts for
the winter, but it is not natural for
him to can or preserve any perish
able things as people do. That
action would be civilization in a
measure. People learn from one an
other, a trait that most animals do
not do. In most things the animals
learn by doing or by experience. The
ape with all his activities in his
environment does not &C.
cumulate information and pass 1t on
to his descendants. The ape does
not learn by aping. but the monkey
learns by monkeying experience.
The human creature learns by exper-
fence and also by receiving the ac-
wisdom of his forbears
1t is our judgment that the college
president who would so ruthlessly |
bar out the study of 1.-THE Mind In |
the Making" would have made Ben |
Franklin quit monkeying with the
kite, or Stevenson with the tea ket-
lie or Bell with, his wire and copper
by which he discovered vibrations
and the telephone. We don't wonder
hat students by the hundreds quit
he school at Knoxville and refused
sven to accept diplomas from It.

THE ASYLUM FARM
AND GARDEN

In our last weeks issue we gave
| review of the situation at the
| asylum farm and garden as it looked
| under the management OF an agricul-
tural expert selected by the state
university after boasting all over the
state and in other states where the
university extension officials and
head of our educational institutions
had attended Conferences" to ex-
change views as to higher education.
1t was stroke of diplomacy to take
them exactly at their word and ask
them to select man to take charge
of the state farm at Blackfoot, and
to say to them that the man they
selected would be held responsible
for results. They selected their
man, had year to get him
acquainted with the farm, he was
then put in full charge, and down
goes production, up comes the yield
Of weed seeds, and the board OF d.
rectors has not yet reported as to
how much money Is being expended
for labor.
At this time we wish to call at
tention to another matter of public
interest. For two or three years
tnere nave been almost no meetings
of the board of directors. Meetings
are called, and one or two members
attend. No sooner do they arrive
than one member looks at his watch |
and remarks upon the pressing bust
ness he has at home or in some other |
part of the state. If three are pres
ent for an hour or two, one OF them
rushes for the depot to catch a train,
remarking to the others that he has
to go, and that whatever they do will
be all right.
That is not the way to attend to
the public business.
But there has not even been that
much doing this season. Careful OBJ

BLACKFOOT LOST ITS
ALFALFA MILL

The Commercial club of Blackfoot
had chance to secure a permanent
industry with payroll for the town
and an income for the alfalfa grow
ers, and 1t resolved that 1t would 60
after the industry and get 1t. The
money was raised, but. not without
some opposition at home, and the
laborers were gathered up to lay the
when 10. there was opposition to the
proposed location, the opposition
coming from home. Another loca-
ton was found and the same expert
ence was repeated. A third location
and fourth we're under considers
ton, with some opposition from
home, and those who we're to ship
the mill here threw up the plan and
located one mill at Gooding and an
other at Pocate1lo.
The Commercial club men thought
1t was task enough to have to raise
the $4,000 bonus to get the mill To-
Gated at BlackfoOt, and when It came
to meeting opposition regarding the
site, and hearing men saying that It
was foolish to pay the bonus since
the mill would come here without It,
the whole proposition was thrown in
Dur faces as the opposition element
Justly deserved. But 1t means In
gratitude and encouragement to the
men who worked part of their time
or weeks, to secure it.
The money will be returned to the
men who gave 1t, and they will re-
eive it with feeling of regret, for
the mill had come, they and the
community at large, and especially
he alfalfa growers, would have re-
eived steady returns thru future
ears, that would have been worth
nore than the donation offered now.

CHILD WELFARE
WORK PUSHED
Wonderful Accomplishments
Are Reported in Keasbey
Section

KEASBEY, June 20:-The Child
Welfare Work in this section of the
,ownship has shown wonderful ac-
,omplishments during the past year,
especially noticeable at the local
school. The marked increasing i'm
provement in the child welfare work
n this vicinity is entirely due to the
lntiring efforts of Miss Rose Nash,
Of Woodbridge, who has charge of
Iuch work throughout the township.
Miss Nash has been very faithful in
Ihowing her presence at the local
school practically every day during
The past year, following up cases
among the school children, which
have come before the medical in
spector, in addition to cases which
have been discovered by the watch
full eyes of the teachers. Few peo-
pie are aware of the splendid work
that has been accomplished in this
section but the school records have
shown a market improvement in
rectly to the nature of the work per-
formed by the welfare department.
Many cases of diseases and other
physical defects have been checked
through the capable attendance of
Miss Nash.
At the beginning of the school
year a drive was instituted whereby
better conditions of cleanliness were
aimed for at the local school. A
prize was offered by Miss Nash to
the boy and girl of each class living
up to the standards of good health;
namely, clean hands, clean face,
clean teeth, clean finger nails, clean
hair and scalp and sleeping with
open windows every night. The win
ners of these prizes were those who
lived up to these standards through
out the entire year. The prizes were
presented at the closing day of
school and proved to be a remarka-
BILE incentive for good health
through cleanliness. There has been
a marked improvement in the health
and cleanliness of the pupils at the
local school i'll spite of the fact that
ninety per CEN are of foreign origin.
Pupils have attended school more
regular due to these better health
conditions.
The school percentage of attend
ance for the year was 81 per cent,
a mark of which the community is
proud and for which much credit is
due to the faithful work of Miss
Nash.

SEEK BODY Of
DROWNED BOY
Lieut.. Donovan Leaves Car
teret for West Point to
Search for Body

CARTERET, June 20-Following
a conference with Mayor Thomas
]. Mulviihill, Chief of Police Haf-
rington detailed yesterday afternoon
Lieutenant Donovan to leave at once
for West Point to take up the search
for the body of seventeen year oil
Irving Van Pelt, the local high
school boy who was drowned Sun
day night in the Hudson river. DON
ovan took with him a number Of
placards announcing the reward of
5000 offered by the borough of
Carteret for the finding of the body.
The help of the New York dailes
is also being enlisted and the re-
We d may stimulate the interest of
the rivermen to find the dead body.
The depth of the Hudson river at
the point where young Van Pelt
was bathing is said to be some sew
enty feet or more and therefore
submarine paraphernalia is to be
used.
Donovan will have the help of the
authorities at West Point, who have
also been greatly disturbed over the
boys drowning. The Van Pelt fam
lily il still confined to the home with
unusual grief awaiting word OF re-
covery of the body.
Many unfortunate occurrences
have occurred in this borough within
the last few days. On Saturday
night Mrs. Elizabeth Stanislaw, a
mother of five children, the wife of
a local laborer. was gored fatally
by the COW she was leading from
the pasture to the barn, and re-
suited in her death on Monday.
The body is resting at the STAN
islaw home while the children cry
as funeral arrangements r being
planned.
The drowning of young Van Pelt
has stirred the entire Carteret pop
u~lation, and brought much distress
TO many of the relatives. Four year
old Nike Behinik was torn away
from his two year old sister, Helen,
as she was taken to the Perth Am
boy City hospital painfully suffer-
ing from burns late Monday after
noon as he cried when will nv
little sister come back?" She came

mother in a cofin-dead. Her moth
er was badly burned as she was
