North Capitol Improvement Association
Says These 10 Duty for Streets in
the Territory II Represents.
The North capitol Improvement Associa-
ton has reached the point where it can be
said TO be ready for aggressive action.
There was good Attendance of representa-
tive citizens at the Loeiier's Hall meeting
last night, and some vigorous talk was in
du!ged in which culminated in the adoption
of memorial for presentation to the Com
missioners and 10 the Appropriation Commit
| tees OF the Senate anl House.
The memorial reciles that the majority OF
the members OF the association have been
paying taxes for ten years or more and have
seen little or nothing done toward street i'm
provementsin tEeir locality. while in other
sections streets needing it less and, in some
cases, not yet built upon, have been ana are
scheduled for in proyement tx
1t also sets forth that the section for which
improvement is asked is well Iltiup and
that the health and convenience OF its resi-
dents require better streets than the lroughs
OF mud or dust which are now required 10 do
dnty in that respect.
The association therefore petitions the
Commissioners 10 place upon the schedule OF
streets the first and most necessary 30 be i'm
proved, and that Congress he asked to ap-
propriate for the improvement of the follow
ing:
North Capitol street, from street to Flor
ida avenue; O street. from New Jersey ave-
nue. TO First street east; p street, from North
Capitol street 10 Florida avenue east; First
street west, from Pierce street to Florida ave-
nue.; Third street west, from p street TO Flor
ida avenue; Q street from Third street to
Florida avenue, and street. to be graded.
from North Capitol street to First street east.
The Commissioners were also requested TO
require the lexington and Soldiers Home
Railroad Company to pave between their
tracks on North Capitol street, between New
York ascnue and street
Allison Nailor, Thomas Heany, G. E.
Esher. Lawrence SteckIe, John Keefe, d.
Carroll Diggs, and NJ. A. Mess were aD-
pointed committee to present the matter to
the Commissioners and to Congress. and G.
L. Esber, J. @. Miller. and M. A. Mess, with
Ernest Dahle as ex-officio chairman, were
appointed as permanent committee TO look
after the interests of the association in that
connection.

the courtesy shown in publishing the associa-
tion proceedings, and the meeting ad eurned

County TEACHERS IN SESSION.
They Listen to Some Interesting Adj
dresses.

A meeting of the County Teachers
association was held yesterday morn
ing at the University of Utah, over sew
enty-five members being present. SUI
perintendent Allen made a NUMBER OF
interesting and instructive suggestions
as to the school work Of the year.
These will be carefully treasured by
the teachers and aid greatly in the
government of the schools.
Following came a recitation by Miss
Maud M Babcock, who had been in
vited to recite before the teachers, and
who rendered in her inimitable man
ner, "The knight and the Lady," and
for an encore, Total Annihilation.
Professor Augsburg stated that
few years ago he received letters from
teachers in New Jersey, suggesting the
feasibility of teaching drawing by cor
respondence. In response to these sug-
gestions, and also requests from 9TH
ers, he had determined to formulate
series of lessons, which would be sent
out to teachers. who would make the
drawings designated, and send to him.
when he would make the necessary
suggestions and corrections, and return
to the teacher. accompanied by anoth-
err series of lessons,1 O.
To further illustrate his scheme, Pro-
fessor Augsburg gave a few drawings
on the board. exemplifying the plan he
had presented. In closing, he stated
that much attention is now being paid
to drawing in Utah, and his ambition
is to have the new state rank first in
this important branch of study.
Miss Babcock illustrated on the
board the outlines of a scheme for
teaching physical culture and forming
the teacl IS into a. class, gave series
of evolutions in accordance with the
system as taught in the Utah School
of Physical Culture, of which she is the
efficient principal. Miss Babcock then
stated that she would give series of
lessons to a class made up of any of
the teachers of the county, at the gym
nasium in Social hall on Saturday af-
ternoon of each week. Quite a num-
Der of teachers expressed a, desire to
join the class, and this will immediate
ly be formed. 80
