Quoted By Two Young Women.

ally excellent programme has been pre-
pared for the occasion, the executive
committee having been very active in
trying to secure a good attendance, and
to make the programme interesting and
profitable The presence of President
Jordan of Leland Stanford university
will be an event which will attract the
attention OF every teacher in Utah,
while the school in SDeer arithmetic
will be a feature that will be invalu-
able to teachers, as the ladies who Will
direct the school are among the best
opponents of that system to be found in
the country.
The railroads have granted reduced
rates, and the entertainment commit
tee has provided ample accommoda-
tions for all who may attend. The
event is one which does not often hap
pen in this state.
