Poultry Directors Op-
pose Plan; Believe
Equipment Better

No intercollegiate poultry judging
contest will be held this year in con-
nection with the annual Gem State
Poultry show in January. it was de-
cided this week by the board OF d.
rectors. While expenses OF the show
will apparently be kept well within
the budget of funds available. direc-
tors felt that available money should
be expended on permanent equip
ment rather than for feature that
will have only advertising value.
Indications point TO the largest
show in the history OF Caldwell Ap-
plications from exhibitors for entry
blanks are pouring in from all sec
ton OF the northwest, according TO
r. T. Hurtt. secretary. Many OF
these enquiries are coming from fan
ciers who have never shown birds
in this territory and their entries are
expected to stiffen competition in
many classes.
Additional supplies were ordered
Wednesday for the show At present.
preparations are farther advanced
than they have even been for any
show held in Caldwell and the open
ing date is expected to find everything
in readiness.

''From its earliest beginnings America
has been devoted to the cause or educa-
ton. This country was founded on the
ideal of ministering to the lndiVidual'
II was realized that this must be done by
the institutions of religion ana goVet"-
ment. In order that there might De a
properly educated clergy and wel-tralned
civil magistrates, one OF the nrst
Thoughts of the early settlers was to pro
vide for a college of liberal culture, while,
for the general diffusion Of knowledge,
primary SCHOOLS were established. Ihls
course was taken as the necessary re-
ouirement Of enlightened soc ETY..
Such a policy, once adopted, has con-
tinued to grow in extent. With the
adoption of the Federal Constitution and
the establishment Of free governments
in the States Of the Uajon there was al
ljtional re4sons for broadening the OPP
nortunity ior education. Our country
adopted the principle of selfgovernment
by a free people. Those who were
worthy of being free were worthy OF
being educated. The sovereign had be
come the people. Schools and universe
ties were provided by the varlou gov
ernments and founded and tostered by
private charity until their buildings
dotted all the land.
The Willingness of the people to bear
the burdens of maintaining these lnstl-
tutions and the patriotic devotion OF an
army of teachers, who, in many case
might h. ? earned larger incomes IN
other pursuits, have made it possible
to accomplish results with which we
NAV we'll be gratifed. But the task IS
not finished; it has only been begun.
I'VE ha We observed the evidence OF a
broadening vision of the whole educa-
tional system. This has included a re-
cognition that education must not end
with the period of school attendance, but
must be given every encouragement
thereafter. To this end the night schools
of the cities, the moonlight schools of
the Southern Appalachian counties. the
extension work of the colleges and uni
versities, the provision for teaching
technical, agricultural and mechanical
arts. have marked out the path to a
broader and more widely ditfused nation
al culture.
TO insure the permanence and con-
tinuing Improvement of such an educa-
ton policy there must be thefullest pubic
realization of its absolute necessity.
Every American citizen is entitled to a
liberal education. Without this there IS
no guarantee for the permanence of free
