passing Parowan which was the FROM
tier southcm settlement Of Utah capt
Hunt thoroughly Instructed us how 70
proceed on our Journey safely. and TO
avoid exposing ourselves 10 the sayases.
"Our Journey over the southern d,s-
erts was O. trying one In the summer
we arrived al the Calon pass MT the

many weeks under the sycamore trees,
While waiting there for our chiefs to
select n suitable camp for the colony

Rollins, with only the broad spreading
sycamores as our school house. Ny
Alma Mater WAS the sycamore and It
has ever remained In my heart as my

Among that set there are many who

Inc court of appeals recently de-
cided that the board of education has
no right to discharge a teacher or
principal in any of the schools because
she enters into the state of matrimony.
The women teachers of New York are

sible to frame a law in such a way as
to exclude married women. particular
ly those who become married while
they are in the employ Of the school
board from the ranks Of teachers, but
an attempt will undoubtedly be made
to frame such a law, that will over
come the objections to the preserA
law. There are two sides to that
question, and it seems that the teach
ers are only able to see one or do not
care to see the other. The law, lust
now declared unconstitutional. was
not passed for spite, but because clear
headed men appreciated the necessity
of such a law. The question is one
which cannot very we'll be publicly
discussed. but it may be said that
there are a great many weighty ethi-
cal and aesthetical reasons that make
such law desirable
1t is very doubtful whether there is
any other city in the United States
that can boast of a surplus of eight
million dollars in it's treasury like New
York. The recent announcement Of
that fact by the comptroller Mr.. Grout
caused considerable surprise, as dur
ing the last campaign great deal
had been said an written about the
extravaganza of the Low administra-
ito. Everybody thought, that the city
was at the verge of bankruptcy and
nobody would have suspected that
