Prof c. F. Dienst. superintendent
OF Boise schools gave m interesting
address to the students OF the College
OF Idaho at the convoca,ion Thurs
day morning. The address was en-
couraging and well received.
He began with word OF greeting
to the students from Boise who had
formerly been under his instruction in
the high school His visit to the
college was because OF his personal
interest in it and because he was in
search OF teachers. He spoke OF the
difficulties with which students will
have to contend when they take their
place in the affairs OF the nation and
emphasized the necessity OF being well
prepared for their work He thought
that the education did not depend so
much on the equipmen; OF buildings
as on the quality OF instruction which
the student was given. The world
was making so much progress in sci-
cnce. commerce and government that
progressive teachers and students were
needed to solve the problems OF the
