quite badly injured as a result of
an auto accident. II seems that Mrs.
Purjue was on her way to her home
in Little valley, occupying the seat
beside the driver on truck which
had no cab. and when the truck fol-
lowed sudden turn in the road she
was thrown the side and one of the
rear wheels passed over her body.
Messengers came Immediately to
Bruneau and phoned for Dr. Evans
of Mountain Home, who responded to
the call at once. It was feared at
the time of the accident that the in
jured wOman's spine might have
been seriously hurt, suffering hurt,
several ribs were broken, and she
was suffering greatly when they took
her home. We have not been able to

standing their remarkable growth,
have not kept pace with the insist
ent demand for instruction. Where
one eighth grade graduate entered
high school fifteen years ago, two are
now going for further instruction
and the result is that much of our
equipment no longer is adequate to
meet the increasing demands.
q need not say that this is even
more emphatically true Of the norm
al schools, colleges and universities,
which have witnessed a phenomenal
growth since the war. American
youth seems to realize that young
men and young women who do not
have the advantages of a college ed
ucation are more or less handicapped
and college campuses throughout the
country have been almost over
whelmed as result. Our own
state university, for example, has al
most quadrupled its enrolment in
the past ten years.
Il am particularly glad to say that
the American Legion is cooperating
fully in the observance of education
week. The Legion believes that its
program of Americanism can be best I
furthered by fostering education
and both the national organization
and local posts throughout Idaho
have expressed their willingness to
help wherever they can in bringing
home the significance of national
education week. 1 do hope that ev-
cry Idaho community will participate
cordially in the special programs
which are now being arranged
By giving pupils new words and
asking them to determine differences
and similarities and to select the
hardest and easiest ways to spell
these words. Burnley school executives
have succeeded in arousing an un-
usual interest in spelling. according
to information which has been re-
'eived at the office of the state COM
missioner of education. The sixth
trades of the Burnley schools will par
icipate in a spelling contest Novem-
