the experience Of parents in this com.
munlty. The Deseret News has re-
peatedly protested against the cram

schools, and pointed out the evils re-
sulting therefrom to which the doctors
have now directed attention.
The teachers in our district schools
are naturally anxious TO bring forward
their pupils as rapidly as possible, and
parents are ambitious In regard to the
progress Of their children Too many

When physicians perceive sufficient
evils resulting from lmperfections in
our school system to form subject OF
discussion In medical assembly, il ie
evident that there is need OF reform In
the direction pointed out. The proper
training OF children In school is stlll
social and educational problem. I'm.
proyement Is desirable In every branch
of tuition, and We believe that the
foremost educators Of the times are
awake to its necessities II Is much
easier to point out defects than to sug-
gest and provide remedies but II is to
be hoped that the errors indicated at
the meeting OF the Utah medical men
VIII be considered and the result will
be their complete correction.

COLD STORAGE
CONFERENCE.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.-The an
nual convention of the American
Warehousemen's association, which
began here today and will continue
through the rest of the week. will
consider many subjects of interest
to those engaged in the storage
warehouse and refrigerating bust
ness. The association represents a
capitalization of over S50000,000,
with a membership of nearly 100,
including all the leading warehouse
people of the country.
A committee is on hand from the
convention of state commissioners
on uniform laws. with a view of OBJ.
tanning the opinion of the associa-
ton as to legislation governing the
issue of storage warehouse re-
ceipts. The laws governing such
receipts are so varied and conflict
ing that they seriously interfere
with the proper conduct of the
storage warehouse business. 1t is
urged by the members of the asso
citation that the storage warehouse
receipts ought to be good collateral
but this is impossible, it is declar
ed, until uniform laws are enacted
in all the states.
Another important matter to re
ceive attention at the convention is
the subject of fire insurance. The
rates fixed by the various tariff as
sociations have been very unsatis
factory, and in many instances the
cold storage men have not beer
able to secure sutfi cient fire insur
ance at any price.
