Vocational School
Fund Interests
Not Known Whether Such Fund Will
Be Available Locally—Ur. Bryan
Explains.
The people of Twin Kails were much
interested Sunday in learning that
congress has passed an amendment to
the bill known as the Smith-Hughes
act, under the terms of which Idaho
will receive $15,000 for vocational edu
cation in the public schools. Owing
to a legislative mix-up, a pending bill
authorizing Idaho to meet the require
ments making it possible to take ad
vantage of the Smith-Hughes act fail
ed to reach the senate after having
passed the lower house.
As a result this state was unable to
claim its share of the fund appropriai
ed by the national government for vo
rational training. Dr. E. A. Bryan.
state commissioner of education, made
a trip to Washington for the purpose of
explaining the situation and urging
the passage of the amendment, which
was thereupon introduced and passed
without opposition.
In a statement givén to the press
Sunday Dr. Bryan, among ot i ier
things said -
"Vocational education was given a
boost forward when congress last
winter adopted the Smith-Hughes act.
This act must be carefully dlstin
guished from the now famous Smith
Lever act with which* it has nothing
to do in organization or operation.
The fact that Senator Hoke Smith of
Georgia was joint author in both bills,
merely shows his deep interest in the
industrial development of the nation
and his position of leadership in such
legislation
"There are three distinct parts to
the act. The first provides for co
operating with the state in paying the
salaries of teachers, supervisors or di
rectors of agricultural subjects. For
this purpose $500,000 are appropriated
for the current year, $750,000 for the
next year, and so on for ten years,
when and thereafter $3,000,000 a year
are given for this co-operative work.
Kor this division the state of Idaho
would receive $5000 the present year.
"The second division of the act pro
vides the same amount, beginning with
$500,000 and ending with a permanent
annual appropriation of $3,000,000 for
co-operation with the states in pay
ing the salaries of teachers of trades.
home economics and industrial sub
jects. Idaho's share of this will like
wise be $5 000
"The third division of the act ap
propriates a sum beginning wlt h
$500,000 a year and increasing to $1,
000,000 in four years and a like sum
thereafter for the purpose of co-op
crating with the states in preparing
teachers, supervisors and directors of
agricultural subjects and teachers of
trades, home economics and industrial
subjects. Idaho's share in this is like
wise $5000
"It will likely be required that vo
catlonal teachers of agricultural and
homo economics shall have complet
ed a four-year college course of train
ing, but teachers of trade and indus
trial subjects may not even have at
tended college at all, the emphasis be
ing placed on artisan experience and
yjjjjl
In' the state of Idaho there will in
all probability be selected from six to
ten high schools to receive at the out
set the benefits of the appropriation
on meeting the requirements. They
are to be a pattern for the ones to be
selected later. It will be necessary
for the school selected to have ade
quate equipment—say $500 in amount
—and to pay one-half of the salary
of the teacher or teachers. There
will be a certain amount of super
vision of agricultural instruction by a
supervisor acting directly under the
state board of education. The teacher
of agriculture must be employed for
12 months in the year or at least must
serve during the summer months to
supervise the home work of students.
"It is quite likely that the Techni
cal institute at Pocatello will be the
first trade school selected, and it may
likewise be the place for the training
of teachers of the trades and indus
tries. The training of vocational
teachers o'f agriculture and home ec
onomics will presumably be centraliz
ed at the university, as that is the
only place where four-year courses in
s
these departments are given.
"Already certain high schools of the
state have made application to the
commissioner of education to be des
ignated as beneficiaries of the act. No
decision has as yet been reached in
any case but the selection must be
made in the near future. Due consid
eration will be given to geography in
order that the general purpose of the
act may be the better fulfilled, but
bo local or political consideration will
determine the selection. A federal vo
cational education board, consisting of
three members of the cabinet and
three appointive members, and the
United States commissioner of educa
tion, is charged with the administra
tion of this important measure."
Superintendent Hal G. Blue of the
Twin Falls schools said yesterday that

Buy Winter Coal
Now Says Calvin
President of the Oregon Short Line
Says Country Is Threatened With A
Lack of Fuel.
President E. E. Calvin was in the
city for a few minutes Saturday while
making a flying trip' over the system
with a number of officials. He said
that consumers should lay in their
winter supply of coal Immediately, as
there will be the greatest difficulty
experienced by mines and railroads
in unloading the coal, and the greatest
degree of co-operation Is necessary be
tween them. The idea that the price
will be lowered materially by the na
tional fuel commission is making lots
of people refrain from purchasing and
this is likely to aggravate the situation
and leave them entirely without fuel
during the winter in the opinion of
President Calvin.
The party remained here only a few
minutes.

SHARON. Pa., Oct. 2—That the

the American Red Cross Ambulance
Corps in France. In a letter to
friends here Fisher says that he has
been present when German prisoners
have been questioned. "They did not
believe that the United States had
any men in France." he says, "and
they also thought that London had
been obliterated by the Zeppelins."

ARMY CANTONMENTS
COST OVER $150,000,00«
(International News Service)
WASHINGTON, Oct. 2—The comple
tion of the sixteen cantonments for
the national army is one of the j
greatest construction jobs ever un- j
dertaken by any government and i
within three months the government
lias expended approximately $150,000,
000 upon this work, whereas the
largest amount appropriated in any
one year for the Panama Canal was
$46,000,000.
Within sixty days 190 sawmills in I
all parts of the country shipped more
than 500,000,000 feet of lumber to the j
cantonment sites. Altogether 93,000 \
kegs of nails were used; there were |
installed 140,000 doors and 686,000
sash, while nearly 30,000,000 square
feet of wall board was used for in-1
side shegting.
When paved streets, telephones, fire [
protection, electric lights, water sup- ■
ply and sewage disposal are added to
this undertaking, some idea may be
had as to the wonderful piece of work
done in record-breaking time In pro
viding comfortable quarters for the
national army.
