President Kerr Responds.
President w. ]. Kerr Of the Brigham
Young college, Logan, responded to Mr..
Nelden's address, and in behalf of the
institute expressed his thankful appre-
citation of the kindly welcome. Presi-
dent Kerr was pleased to hear the
president of the board of education
speak so kindly of the profession, and
was greatly interested in his words on
compensation.
Il. too believe it is of the utmost
Importance that the teacher be paid
for what he does said the speaker
1t is generally recognized throughout
the world that the profession Of teach
ing is not sufficiently remunerative,
and it should be the teachers ambi-
ton to do work that will demand recog-
nition.''
President Kerr concluded by quoting
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1899-12-28

from national report that Utah ranks
far ahead of many older states in the
matter of expanding money for educa-
ton.
President ]. NJ. Tanner of the Agri-
cultural college. Logan, was then called
upon, owing to the enforced absence
of A. c. Nelson of Sanpete. who was
to have responded. President Tanner
was at his best and talked on various
subjects, laying stress on the import
ance of manual training. He hoped the
schools would soon offer better oppor-
tunities in this direction. He closed
with an eloquent expression of the APP
probation of Salt Lakes welcome to

President Allison's Paper.
President William Allison of Ogden
presented an able paper on education
He held that our civilization and liv-
ing COSTS too much, if we deprive our
selves of school houses. He urged that
everything be done to give the young
people ambition and incentive, but he
believed there are many whose anxiety
to be entertained is so strong that they
have loss ideas of education.
I'VE have too long misconceived the
scope OF common schools" said Mr..
Allison. I'VE should not give a child
eight or ten subjects a day, but should
have Il smaller number, and put them
under fewer heads. The cardinal pur-
pose of the elementary school is to en-
rich the child, and the greatest gift he
gets in school is the gift of language.
The child should be eager to know and
equipped to learn after leaving the ele-

About squirrels.

By reference to the commission
ers proceedings it will be noticed
that the county mas paid OUT, dis
year as bounties on squirrels, So
807. SO. Added to this is the srm
Of almost $3.50, for counting the
tails of these animals, making n
total Of nearly Sc, 900. The as
sessed valuation of the county will
be about 81, 800, 600, thus requiring
levy of nearly four mills to meet
this expense alone. Last year there
was about SO, 900 paid out for boun-
ties. At this rate the county ought
to be depopulated of squirrels in a
short time. Even if the sum of
two cents were paid for all of them,
though many were only paid for at
the rate of one cent each, there has
been killed and accounted for, the
immense number of 42o, 600 SOUR
rels. Allowing that the half of
those poisoned and shot were never
found, we have $4,000 in number.
1t is more than likely that at least
a million Of these rodents have
been destroyed in Bear Lake county
alone in the years 1893 and 1899.
They will have to be wonderfully
prolific if they long survive this
slaughter.
Montpelier examiner. [volume] (Montpelier, Idaho) 1895-1937, 1899-08-23

A petition was presented to the
board Of county commissioners at
their last session, asking for an
appropriation for 500 to be ex-
pended on the road between Paris
and Dingle. The board has laid
the matter over till it's October
meeting. As it will be too late to
do much then the matter will prob
ably go over till next year. There
have been some murmers from
Dingle and Paris over their action.
No one doubts that this road
needs much work on it, and before
it will be a good thoroughfare more
than 500 will be necessary. We
would like to see this road put In
first class shape, as we would all
the roads in the county, but it will
take money to do it, and this money
can only be had in two ways, bond
ing or direct taxation. The general
sentiment in the county is against a
bonded debt, and everyone kicks
when the taxes are high. Nodoubt
the commissioners had this in view
when they laid over this petition.
Visions of IS, 500 squirrel bounty
evidently doomed up before them,
as well as the general expenses of
the county, all of which neccssitates
a pretty healthy tax levy. Messrs.
Transtrum, Webster and Lindsay
arc striving to cut the taxes to the
lowest notch, and yet do the neces
sary work on roads. They are be-
tween ''two fires,n one of which is,
that they know the desire and ne
cessity for good roads, and the
other the equally strong demand for
low taxes. In view Of this we think
their action on the Dingle-Paris
proposition ought not be censured
by the people of those towns. It
certainly will not be by the rest OF
the people in the county. Next
year, probably, the county will be
in better shape and this road, as
well as others, can be greatly
helped without raising the tax levy
Give the commissioners credit fol
their good intentions.
