ON FEATURE WRITING

Not being blessed with a vivid
imagination, when l was informed
that l must write feature for this
issue of the paper, l could not think
of a single thing, so l asked one of
the most brilliant writer's of our class
how he obtained his Inspirations.
He informed me that he sat down
with pen and paper, let his eyes
wonder around the room until they
hit something that struck his fancy
and just wrote.
SO l hied me to my home, sharp
ened well dozen pencils, sat down
with thick pad of writing paper in
front of me and let my eyes wonder.
First they lit upon the alarm clock
and all could think of was the way
the DANCED thing Changed at 1880
a. m. every morning.

mainly from actual scientific re
search and people seem to have been
the unrivalled position then occupied
by the great makers of state craft
and the military geniuses. Only now
are we beginning to recognize the
comparative insignificance of many
such figure when scrutinized closely
along with their hitherto compare
willing to take it largely on faith.
We now know that many of their
notions were almost ridiculously in
correct due to an inherent tendency
in man to idealize the past, depre-
cate the present and dread the flu
ture Modern historical criticism has
dispelled in large decree the haze of
mis-conception, sometimes a haze of
romance. which has enshrouded the
past. The Middle Ages, long mis-un
derstood and still field for further
investigation, are only now begin
ming to pass before us much as they
actually transpired and not at all
as unenlightened man had guessed.
1t is the historians who are dispell-
ing these misconceptions.
The histories of the present age
with their emphasis upon institu
tional, intellectual, social and econ
omic factors represent rather an en-
tirely new trend than mere shift
ing of emphasis from the purely poll
tical and military considerations
which used formerly to cumber our
pages. Examination of text book of
a few years back will quickly reveal

HIGH SCHOOL Quill

The Junior Glass Play will be Civ
en- this Friday, the Senior play fol-
lowing later in May. The plays Sc
leeted by the classes are of a high
type and ought to make a great inn
preston on the public.
The night of the play the Audi
torium should be crowded to the
limit These plays represent great
deal of hard work, not only on those
taking part but the advisors. All
the students in the play are work
ing hard to get it so that it will be
perfect and along with four or five
subjects makes quite a task.
These plays are in good many
ways a community affair. They are
of home talent and keep the money
at home. 1t is not like a travelling
vaudeville. The money stays here to
pay for the Junior-Senior Banquet
and the surplus for the fixing of the
stage.
On Friday night let us all come
out to see one of the best plays ever
presented in Mountain Home.

more besides. indeed that it is some
thing which comprehends the entire
life of man. And we know that it
looks no longer into the past alone
but, like the Roman God Janus, into
the future as well, a creature with a
double face, endowed with hind
sight and with foresight.
We know that mans actions un-
der a given stimulus can be more or
less accurately forecasted. How can
this forecasting be done? By study
of mans actions in the past under
a like stimulus, keeping constantly
in view the changed conditions with
in which the mind is operating In
short we are rapidly reducing man to
a subject for scientific research, a
subject as real as a chemical chem
list or mathematical expression. So
have arisen our so called social sci
ences based upon a study of collec-
tions of man in his human relation
ships. To these sciences History af-
fords an entrance.
It can not be reasonably expected
of course that the social sciences can
ever be reduced to the nicely of them
and chemical formulas or that the
act of capricious man the individual
can in a given situation be accurate
ly guessed but these can be no doubt
that the activities, collective man,
just as the activities of chemical ele-
ments, will ultimately be studied, I'M
derstood and scientifically controlled.
And equally there can be no doubt
that History holds one of the keys to
that knowledge the possession of
which will enable man to do other
wise than muddle through his diff
culties, political, social, moral, and
the rest.
History is not a crazy quilt. 1t
is not the record of a hap-hazard |
of human action over
vast space of time. There is, run
ming through the ages, a thread of
connection, unity, relationship
of cause and effect, which it has be-
come the duty of modern history to
unravel
The scientific study of history is a
theme of comparatively recent orig

WHY STUDY HIsToRY2

The earlier conception of history
was that it was mere record of the
past with slight or very limited bear
ing upon the present or future. 1t
has been called past politics" and
past ethics, appel actions quite
correct so far as they go but obvious

individually or even in conjunction
clearly misleading. We now know
that history can not be defined with
a catch phrase that is neither past

it includes these and Unreasonable

The regular Girl Reserve meeting
was held at the Library Monday
evening, March 16.
The meeting however was of spec
al interest for after the regular
business was completed the girls
went through beautiful candle cere-
monial. A large candle was placed
In each window and three candles,
one red, one white, and one blue

ideal of spirit and each girl held a
small lighted candle The object of
this ceremony was to honor the girls

to the girls who had raised their
grades five per cent. Idella Sumner

Josephine Horgan.
A song composed by members of
the club was sung by Nellie Trath-
en-, accompanied by Gertrude Corbus. |
Another interesting part of the
meeting was talk by Miss Bunk |
concerning her visit to a Pueblo viii
lage in New Mexico. She told of the
Indians life and about some of their
customs. She also brought several
beautiful and artistic souvenirs that
she had obtained while there.
Miss Flack was present and took
charge of the candle ceremonial.
Mrs. Gibson of Boise was a visitor
and spoke on the good that the Girls
were doing and of the uni
gersal membership and her admira-
ion of the club.

TENANTS MADE
CAPITAL CITY
MAN WEALTHY
Real Estate Dealer Died Rich
But Washington Renters
Footed Bill
BY CHARLES P. STEWART
NEA Service Writer

Washington. May 27.-Between the
lines of all the obituaries published
by the Washington newspapers few
days ago, following the death of
Allan E. Walker, prominent real
estate man and builder Of the cap
ital. runs story quite distinct
from that of the career the various
articles authors thought they were
combining themselves exclusively to.
1t is the, story Of the merciless
exploitation of Washington's tenant
class since the year of Americas
entry into the war.
Allan E. Walker died at the age
of 46. His father, the late BEDFORD
w. Walker, was real estate man
before him. The son entered the
business when he was 10.
He combined apartment house
promotion with his trade in city
lots. At the end of 10 more years
he was rated at about $4,000 and
it was considered he had done un-
usually we'll, his business ranking
perhaps second among all of its kind
in the capital.
That was the year of Americas
declaration of hostilities against the
central powers-1917. ut was about
the year 1917" one obituary quotes
friend of the late real estate man
as saying, that his business began
to grow by leaps and bounds" He
left an estate estimated at $4,O00,0O0
and it would have been $l,00O,00O
more but for single quite recent
unlucky speculation.
For 10 years Walker saved money
at the rate of about $4,000 annually.
During the last eight years he ac-
cumulated it at the rate of 1926, 900
a year. He saw his chance and took
it. No blame attaches to him, as an
individual. But Washington tenants
footed the bill and the bill of many
another real estate man in these last
eight years.
An attache of one Of the Latin
American legations here, a small,
dark man, with keen, black eyes,
raven mustache and high-bridged,
Oriental-looking nose, told me this
story: Visiting New York recently
he had OCCASION to travel by the a."
so assembled to a station platform and
was waiting, inoffensively, for his
train, when he was set on by gang
of young hoodlums of the type COM

temper. "Queet eet!" he exclaimed.

in his accent caught one of the young
| ruffian's attention. "What are you?"

"Hey, fellers!" cried the youth,
springing into action with the horri-
fled expression Of a participant in

ers the wrong man is being strung
