AS TO HIGH SCHOOLS
The discussion Of President Paurs
paper should have been led by Superln.
tendent ID II, Christensen, Of the Salt
Lake schools, but he being absent, the
discussion became general. Prof. Hea-
ton OF the Salt Lake county schools, in
a brief address declared that the I'M
yersity should dispense with the pre-
paratory school and that High schools
should be established generally He
contended that preparatory school
robbed the university Of that tone emf
gnity OF an institution Of llghar
learning, The youth should be prepared
In the high school for the university.
Prof. N j. Nelson Of the B. Y. acade-
my and Attewel Wootton Of the Wa
satch chool In rer,ylng state
thu, there was not sufficient means to
build more high schools or enough stu
dents demanding high school course
to warrant the building Of more, Prot,
Nelson did not think It possible to es-
taDllsf high school In every town for
fifty years yet, but there should be one
IN every county
Prof, Il. Il, Lyman Of the University
said that the state of Negade, with half
the population Of Salt Lake city alone,
had more high schools than the entire
state OF Utah And in Colorado towns
Of 1900 inhabitants had high schools,
such, he thought should be the case
IN Utah. He was inclined 10 the belief
that Il was the fault Of the Teachers
themselves in failing to agitate the
question. Prof Lyman said the Uni
versity would only be glad to close the
doors Of It's preparatory department h
1t could do It and live,
DIR. GowAN's PAPER,
Or. e. G. Gowans OF the Agricultural
college at Logan followed with a paper
en- What Can the Rural Schools DO 20
Prepare Pupils for Agricultural Pur-
ucils?'
Or. Gowan stated that IS per cent of
the public school children never got be-
yond the grammar grade, and that
,ast majority Of the school children
wore from the rural districts, so far
as Utah was concerned. He argued
therefor that the curriculum Of the pllD-
lie schools OF the rural districts should
comprehend the practical training IN
all the Industrial sides Of life enc1un-
tered upon the farm, The efforts OF the
rural public schools should be to equip
the students with technical skill.
DR.. Gowan advocated q sc1oo'
| garden whereby the student can
| be brought face to face with nature
and natural science He spoke at FUR
ther length in support OF this innova-
ton In the public schools II was eX-
plained. however that many OF tue
countries Of Europe had established the
school garden
PAPER DISCUSSED.
The discussion on the paper was lea
by Prof Ernest Partridge OF the B' l.
academy of Provo. He advanced the
objection that il the curriculum OF the
| rural school were not uniform WIN
that Of the city school II would entail
tho necessity OF giving teachers TWO
kinds of training and would extend 70
the rural pupil only the advantages "
AGRICULTURAL training while some oi
them may be better fitted LOT sViie ,o oon
