You generally judge a town by its
educational inducements, so they NAV
be mentioned first. Education is re-
ceiving great deal more attention this
winter than ever before, which shows
we are on the progressive. Springville

and two private schools; making a
total of nine, with an average attend

school; and anyone wishing to educate

being plenty of room for more, both in

lands, which ale cheap, ct present, but
will not remain so long.
Several persons, made up mostly of
our live merchants, have taken it into
their heads that Springville must have
g boom this spring. Well, that's right;
and these are the very men who must
BRING this boom to the gates Of our
city; for unless they do it, the boom
will surely pass off over our heads,
even though we be in its direct path.

What is TO be done? Something
must be done that will create labor for
the many Idle who are such prominent
features Of our street corners. With
the place alive with these men, apy

laoorers a;e apt 10 be frightened away.
Naturally. they will conclude that if
there be not sufficient work for the city's
own people, certainly there is no work
for others. Labor creative men are

undertaking.
