HOW AN IDAHO
umojuigBEL
l3lie growth of Boisq. Idaho, is an exemplification of what
" persistent enterprise will do in the up-building of a city,
if lj) Ilits instance the mossback proclivities of the early set
tletSi wjio refused to raise a moderate sized bonus, lost
fhem the main line of the Oregon Short Line railroad, and
for several years they were without railroad facilities at all.
Then a 20-mile stub road was bu'lt connecting with the
main line, which was and is still their only steam railway,
The town was surrounded for hundreds of miles by sage
brush deserts, and had but one commercial advantage to
build its future upon that of being the capital of a new
and sparsely settled state,
i -But the people there had learned their lesson from the loss
oCthe Oregon Short Line through lack of the proper public
spirit,
They determined to overcome all obstacles' and build up
a ,clfty,
.'.How well they have succeeded, is demonstrated by the
fact that the town, which had a population of less than
6000 when the federal census of 1900 was taken, is now a
beautiful city of 25,000 people, with one million- dollars
worth of buildings under construction this vear, including a
seven-story hotel which will be one of the finest in the north
west, Boise owes nearly, all of its growth and prosperity to the
enterprise of its people,
They not only erected fine homes and business buildings,
paved streets and la'd cement walks, but they built electric
railways down the irrigated valleys to the towns on the
Short Line, and thus extended the area of their retail trade,
Local capital built one of these roads, 20 miles long, with
out the assistance of a dollar of outside money, and local
men began and promoted another 30 miles In length,
It was this faith in their city and willingness to back its
enterprises financially which made Boise tne city it is today
find overcame' the many obstacles that would have discour
aged less determined communities,
Salem has every natuial advantage and should outgrow
a city like Boise with only reasonable effort on the part of
thepoople,
All that is roouired is for the- local capitalists to stand
back of evory movement that promises to increase, business
and draw trade from a larger area of territory,
The proposed Stayton railroad is one of these.
, It means a large and increasing revenue to our mer
chants and increased values to pioperty owners.
But it will never be built unless the people of Snlem want
it badly enough to put their money into it, and convince
foreign capital of their faith in investments tending to de
velop the country,
o-
VALUE OF INDUSTRIAL TRAINING.
It Is significant as well as encouraging that the prass of
tho country, responding to popular sentiment, continues to
advocate vigorously the promotion of reforms 'n common
School instruction along the lines laid down at the Denver
convention by the veteran educators, Messrs, Harvey -and
Cooloy.
The proposal that the public schools be made a means by
which boys and Kir Is shall be enabled to step into useful
and profitable employment on graduat'on, rather than a
means of turning out annually a fresh batch of young ladies
and gentlemen who are too often incapable of taking caie
of ttoomselves, seems to have met with universal approval,
And, more than this, it has given a new Interest and a
new impetus to Equity of a very promising character.
For example, there is already afoot a very thorough in
veitigaation which has for its object the collection of infor
mal'on with regard to the technical schools of Germany, the
country in which industrial .education has reached the lilgh
wt point of efficiency.
It has already been discovered that Germany, began to
prepare for the Industrial victory, which has crowned her ef
forts in the beginning of tho last century,
She made education compulsoiy and established continua
tion schools for boys,
She created all manner of trade schools, and educated hei
children with reference to local needs and opportunities,
v She is still cairying on this system, and even watiers,
chambermaids, hotel managers and confectioners are trained
in special :nstitutions,
Proficiency in one's calling, whatever it may be, is the end
aimed at and generally attained in Germany,
The omplro tociay has nine technical universities, 36 sec-

Germany has pursued a course almost the direct opposite
of ours, and yet it cannot be said that cultural education
has been neglected in that nation,
On the contrary, the system employed there has had the
effect in large decree of keeping mechanics out of the pro
fessions ana keeping professional men out of the trades,
There is an effort there to determine what line of study
and work students are suited to, and to train them according
to their -bent and their ability,
The awakening of interest in this subject cannot fail to
have a beneficiaT result in this country, for in the matter of
public school instruction, and especially in the high schools,
we need to get out of a rut,
