School Might Parties

AT different times we have dis
couraged the attendance of students
ct social functions on nights other
than those of the week end. This has
been done in the interest of good
school work and not for any selfish
or personal motive. Many times
teachers have told me that their class
work has been seriously hampered
and work of poor quality done be-
cause several of their students have
been out late the night before. On
numerous occasions students have
come to their teachers and have
asked to be excused from recitation
for the same reason. In other in
stances students have remained at
home the following forenoon to rest
up and have been absent from school
as a result.
This year almost all of the teach
ers have expressed themselves as
pleased with the way students have
taken hold of their work. This opin-
ion has been verified by report cards
with fewer red marks than usual.
Our attendance has been unusually
good and the number of time waster
students much smaller than last
year. We are very anxious to main
tain this condition and want to pre-
vent any condition arising which will
cause our young people to lose in
terest and fail in their work as a
result. Already, however, there has
been tendency to too much social
activity on the part of some of the
older students. This has been mani
fest in the argument put forth that
there is not room enough for all of
the social affairs at weeks ends and
that therefore they were justified on
other nights. The writer believes
that in so far as the school is con-
cerned we are not justified in arrang-
ing week night parties and have not
done so. We understand, with ref
erence to other organizations, that
we have no right to try to dictate :
Mountain Home Republican. [volume] (Mountain Home, Idaho) 1915-1946, 1923-10-26

or in any way govern. We have not
| tried to do this but have on more
than one occasion asked the eoopera-
ton of all to have as few of these
entertainments as possible. Our To-
| cal lodges and churches have seen
the fairness of this and have almost
always arranged their social activi-
ties for week ends when students
have been invited. We appreciate
this spirit of cooperation very much.
Outside entertainers, of course, have
little or no interest in the quality
of our school work and come the
evening most convenient to them
selves.
This week and next are two which
usually have many parties and
dances. We hope that moderation
will be shown and that our school
work will not be unduly affected in
an unfayorable way. If your stu
dents ask to attend a party on a
school night you may rest assured
that it was not arranged by either
parents or teachers. If parents ar
range parties and invite students to
them on these nights it is done on
their responsibility and not on ours.
The first party which we have un-
dertaken to have in the school build
ing and chaperoned b yteachers will
be given this week end. The Junior
Glass is doing the entertaining. We
fully approve of this and do of other
parties so planed and conducted. !
Several other parties have been held
this year in which many of our high |
school students have been involved |
but were not in our building or
shaperoned by teachers. This is writ
ten in the interest of good school
work, to help make clear our posi-
ion and to help create understand
ng between the school patrons and
he school.

A Glorious Revolution

Away with monarchy! From now

democratic form of government il

ton but no blood shed took place
last week. A committee of five were
chosen to frame a student body con-
stitution.
Saturday evening the committee
after due consideration and solemn
federation was able to draw up this
much needed constitution. During
the meeting many hot and fiery ar
guments were passed back and forth
across the table, but the arguments
were finally settled without resort
ing to arms.
Woe be unto the persons who dis
obey any of these laws, or gets an
average in department of less than
80 per cent. The organization is
for the express purpose of raising
the standard of scholarship in the
school. The minor functions of the
organization is to regulate the social
affairs. Let's make this gra-a-and

This constitution was, on the goth
day of October, in the year of our
Lord, one thousand nine hundred and

The Love of Dreams

No matter how many adventures yol
have had,
There's always the dream that lure
you on:
A dream of great adventure to come
That same old dream in the ages gon'
Has lured us on.
1t matters not how far you have
journeyed,
There is always the call of the vast
beyond;
Be it, Eamarkand, or the cities OF
Thibet,
Where your word is as good as a bond
And their mysteries beckons you on.
Though you may strive to rise
Above the pettishnesses of everyday
life,
You still have secret dream of your
self,
That is bigger than you really are
In this world of strife.
Norris Phelps.

Twenty-Five of Albert Harley's fine
flock of turkeys were destroyed dur
ing the absence of the family at the
recent roundup. This many were
found at various places about the
Little Valley ranch when the Harleys
returned on Sunday following the
closing day of the big show. All were
found with broken backs and the
imprint of powerful jaws snapped at
the vital spot with no other aim than
the qualification of the lust to kill.
Hunger was not the impulse; the
flesh was undevoured. To many it
is convincing proof that a crazy coy
ote had donned his war paint.
o. r. Cannon, cashier of the First
National Bank of Mountain Home,
was a business visitor here the first
of the week. Ed declares that the
institution of which he is practically
the directing head in business way
has thoroughly recovered it's stride
after a somewhat unhappy experience
of recent date, and is forging ahead
as one of the big and influential fin
aneial institutions of southwestern
Idaho. And we're mighty happy to
hear of this condition and to observe
that the statements of that banks
standing amply bear out the verify
of Mr.. Cannon's declaration. He re-
turned to Mountain Home Monday
evening.

Mr.. Rankley
Hi didle-diddle
Get out your fiddle
Let music fill the air
OF Mr.. Rankley Wen sing
Now let the song ring
Well make as much noise as We
dare.
This man is from Kentucky,
We think he's pretty lucky
To be here in sunny, southern Idaho
But sill we must admit
It doesn't hurt bit
Cause we can't help where we are
born you know.
He teaches science classes
For the little lads and lasses,
And would have them know their
lessons every day,
Then he coaches basket ball
Teaches boys both large and small
All the rules and just how they
ought to play.
To make the story short
He's just a dandy sport
And he always seems to know the
when and how.
Oh, hi diddle-diddle
You all put up your fiddle
You've made enough noise for just
now.

CIVIL MARRIAGE LAWS
 URGED FOR AUSTRALIANS

SYDNEY, N. s. w., May A. The government is being urged to abloish the present system of mar riage laws and to compel the par ties to enter civil contract before a registrar, regardless of any re- ligious ceremony. Proponents of the idea also are urging that it be made an. offefse, punishable by fine and Imprisonment, for any person to impugn the legality of such a civil contract.
 The precedents of France, Italy and other countries are quoted in support of the scheme, which em- phasizes the completeness of the marriage contract as made by the state and not by the church.

TOY IS CAUSE OF DEATH.

BALTIMORE, Md. May f.-Com- pressed air contained in toy bal loon caused the death of three-year- old Bernard Silverman.
 When walking with his mother down a busy street Bernard ran away from her. After overtaking him she slapped him on his face for disobeying her.
 The toy balloon, which Bernard held in his mouth, burst, and the sudden force of air down his throat, according to physicians, caused death by strangulation.
