R. H. Beesley of Provo, formerly a
teacher in the Lowell school in this
city, was in the city on Thursday.
Mrs. w. S. Webster is substituting
for Miss Alley in the first grade at the
| Sumner school.
The regular meeting of the city teach
ers occurred in the High school as
sembly-room yesterday morning, much
interest attaching to it because of the
contemplated resignation and removal
from the state of Superintendent Mills
paugh.
After a few announcements by the
superintendent, Principal H. B. Folsom
of the Riverside school was introduced,
who read a most valuable paper on
Incentives, which was accorded a
very careful hearing. The subject was
one to which Mr.. Folsom had given
very careful consideration, and he was
complimented upon his excellent effort.
The gentleman was followed by Miss
Winona L. Smith of the Franklin
school, who also read scholarly paper
upon the same subject, which she
treated quite deliberately and interest
ingly.
DR.. Millspaugh then arose, and with
deep emotion announced that he had
decided to transfer his allegiance from
Utah to Minnesota. expressing the most
profound regret at the step he was
about to take, and paying high trib-
ute to the loyalty and intelligence of
the corps of teachers, many of whom
had been associated with him during
his connection with the city system.
He also stated that, next to giving
up his home, the severance of relations
with the teaching fraternity of Salt
Lake came to him with great sorrow.
His remarks touched his hearers most
deeply, and many eyes were moistened
with tears at the thought of separating
from so true a. man, so eminent an
educator, so exemplary q citizen. Sell
dom is such profound regret expressed
as in the doctors avowed intention of
leaving so pleasant associations. The
committee on resoi Iu.ons, which con-
sisted of Principals Clark, Mccoy and
Mcknight and Misses Rowe and Blu
chanan, then reported, Principal Nc
Coy presenting them before the teach
ers, when they were unanimously
adopted. The resolutions are as fol-
lows:
Whereas, Our honored superintend-
ent, DR.. ]. F. Millspaugh, has been
called to another field of labor; and,
Whereas, It is the desire of the su-
pervisors, principals and teachers of
the Salt Lake City public schools that
q testimonial should accompany him;
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we deeply regret the
loss of one to whose jealous and un-
firing efforts We believe, is largely due
the remarkable growth and great sue
cess of our public schools-a success
that in few years has placed them in
the front rank Of the educational sys-
TENS of our country. We recognize in
him an efficient organizer, an able
leader, a thorough scholar, a broad
minded, patriotic citizen. and a faith
full friend to those under his super
vision; and be it further
Resolved, That we warmly congratu-
