Repel Attack On Idaho Education System
A Oneida man, Hall, proposes House Bill 59 to strip the state Board of Education of salary control and to abolish Lewiston and Albion normal schools, while creating a southern state agricultural college linked to Pocatello. The plan also would shift functions from normals to the university, weaken the state university and menace the Northwest’s leading educational hub. Local editors warn the measure would reverse progress, centralize power, raise costs, and hurt statewide education.
