HEAD OF SCHOOLS
LOSES HIS JOB

Idaho has taken the bit In its
teeth, so to speak, fired its commits
sioner of education, and Is going
along without that dignitary. 1t has
been in doubtful matter for a good
many years, whether we were organ
izing too much in the schools and
getting impractical and extravagant
at the top, and the last legislature,
finding itself unable to discontinue
the office without a constitutional
amendment by the people, refused to
appropriate money. to pay his salary
and left it to him to decide what he
would do about it, The time limit
was July 1, and he quit Now he is
going around telling Idahoans what
great mistake they have made, and
predicts that our educational system
will go to the bow-wows, which it
probably will, but he had it headed
there anyway via the bankrupt
route.
Mr.. Bryan is brother Of William
Jennings Bryan, and is the man we
have quoted and criticised for his
addresses to the teachers institutes
at BlackfOot because he sets up a
something he calls education, and
then makes everything subservient
to it, even sacrificing the pupils
themselves in order that education"
as an institution might live. He is
the speaker who said that the school

them are bankrupt and the rest have1

THE DAVIS
EPISODE

While some critics were trying to
make capital out of the dismissal Of
A. P. Davis, director of reclamation,
and others we're attempting to do
likewise over the appointment of D.
w. Davis OF Idaho as commissioner
of the new bureau Of reclamation,
Secretary Of the Interior Work, let
1t be known that II there was any
criticism to be made 1t should be
directed at him alone. II am head Of
the Reclamation Service" he told an
interviewer last week, "and as such
will run the department for good or
ILL.,"
The reason for the change as out
lined by DR.. Work is that reclama-
ton projects must be put on q pay
ing basis, both for the settler. and
the government. Such business he
regards rs not within the scope Of
engineering, which IL purely tech
meal profession. And he insisted
that length Of service does not neces-
sarily qualify . man to continue In
the service. So A. p. Davis was dis
missed.
Now 1t seems to be q question Of
who Is. most vitality interested In the
reclaimed project, the farmers who
buy the land and the government
which finances the project on the one
hand, or the engineers who get paid
for the construction and engineering
on the other hand.
Our guess is that In the hnal
analysis the farmers are more in
terested In the projects than the en-
gineers and will have more to say
about how they are operated

commissioner of education, whom
many believe has been excess bag
gage, is mourning his loss of power
Before the Rotary club In Boise last
Thursday he said that the founda-
ton stones of our educational sys-
tenn are destroyed" meaning, prob
ably, that himself or some other high
salaried commissioner of education
Is an absolute necessity to the main
tenance of an adequate educational
system. Ii so, why not give a COM
missioner complete authority? Why
have state superintendent of
schools, two or three state rural sup
ervisors, county superintendent and
numerous inspectors and super
visors?
DR.. Bryan peaks of mounting
taxes. He is conservative when he
says that 40 per cent of our taxes go
to our schools. The legislature at
its last session had in mind a reduc-
ton of taxes when it refused to ap-
propriate salary for the state COM
missioner of education. The reduc-
ton of taxes is more vital to many,
at least, than the maintenance of the
office of the commissioner of educa-
ton. Retrenchment is the crying
need. Efficiency at less cost is the
demand of the day.
The ideal of the ex-commissioner
is to free the state department of
education from all ordinary re-
straints, give it free rein, give it
place above the legislature of the
state and clothe it with power to
regulate all educational
affairs for what it may consider the
public good.
The department of education
should be administered for the good
of the state as whole, not solely
for the good of education. 1t should
have a broad viewpoint, one includ-
ing the tax situation, the economic
situation, the political situation, and
The distress as well as the needs of

needed is to dig a hole the size of

rich and mellow and supplied with
irrigation. II the ground is prepared

PARIS, Feb. 1.-What shall we eat for breakfast? asks Dioscoride in Le Journal. He means "le petit dejeu- ner," the early morning meal the French take in bed or immediately after rising.
 Dioscoride believes in the old saw that one mans meat may be another mans poison. Every person must choose his own morning nourishment, but choose it with wisdom. A great deal depends upon the state of health, the work one has to do and the size of the meal the night before.
 Milk chocolate is probably the Frenchman's favorite morning bever- age. Almost all women drink it and large majority of the men. It is de- but not too wholesome. Already rich in fat, when added to tartines of bread and butter it forms a food which is exceedingly difficult to di, gest. Fat people should avoid it.
 Coffe with milk is a close second, and this means coffee with chicory in France, which, while not so good to taste as our American brands, Is much better for the health. The older gen. eration and people with delicate stom- achs imbibe InfusiOns" made of lit tie white flowers, camomile and cam. brio tea.
 To drink" is to breakfast here in France They cannot understand the heavy morning meal of English and Americans. To take fruit into an empty ctomach is to commit grave error. And as for pie, American pie well, we have never dared to ask the French what they think of that. A dry, hard toasted bread called "bis, cotte" is the usual companion to the coffee. It is so hard one has to "dip' it into the drink. It is done in all po' lite society. "Craissants'' and "brioches," soft rich bread in fancy shapes, are what the children eat. A few who have lived in England like the idea of a soft-boiled egg.
 Children who get up late and have to hurry off to school content them selves with a large piece of fresh bread and a little "tablette" of dry chocolate. This habit of eating bread with chocolate is a peculiarly French one and forms the famous little o'clock "gouter" of every French child

ST. HELENA HFRENCH DRINK READY TO GREET BREAKFAST OF DE VALERA MEN LlCHTEST FOOD

DUBLIN, Feb. 1. - Ireland may not want the De Valerites, but there is another island that does. That is St. Helena.
 There was a rumor recently that the Irish Republicans who were pris- oners in the hands of Free State Gov ernment were about to be deported to St. Helena. The report proved un- founded, but for all that it filled the St. Helenaites with joy.
 The point of view, as expressed in local newspaper, is that if the Free Staters want to find an island exile for people who will not consent to recognize their Government the island is ready to do business with any body of men whose purpose is to stimulate the flow of St. Helena's trade. An Irishman may shout "Up with the Re- public!" all day long as he buys his cigars through the local market. | So, at all events. may be interpreted the clipping from the St. Helena Guar dian, which says:
 "The report Is going the rounds of all classes in St. Helena that there Is | a probability that the unamnested rebels in Ireland might be sent to St. | Helena. A good many persons have 1 hinted to us that it would be we'll that the Guardian should voice the opinion of the majority on the matter. we are able to state that the feel ing is general that they will be well come. We are not going to mince mat, ters and state that for mere patriotism we are glad that the rebels may come to reside among us. To themselves we are not by any means averse, as the late prisoners of war (Boers) be- haved well in general to the inhabi- tants of the island, distinguishing well between their iailers and their invol- untary hosts.
 1 "A hundred or five hundred cannot live in St. Helena without advantaee to us, indirectly or directly. We trust that some relief will come to the isl and, and we are able to state that tl4e people will welcome the rebels, ahd there will be no nonsense whatever about making St. Helena penal sct, clement and it's being objected to.
 "Our one aim is to promote the vel 1 fare of our little island and to find some way of feeding the hungry and clothing the destitute.'
