In a public address in Washington,
this woman made a malicious assault
upon Utah, saying, among other things,
that in the instruction given in the
public schools here, 1.-The lives of Wash
ington Lincoln and other great men
in the worlds history, were entirely

patriotism.

Do you think there are any Ameri-
can mothers in all that multitude who
want their children educated in the
public schools of Salt Lake City, when
they are misled as to the character OF
those schools by the maliciously false
statements of Mrs. Schoff, endorsed

Knockers gang in this city?
You Gentle young women who COM
pose eighty per cent of the teaching
force in Salt Lake City's public

your silence or otherwise, that you

Schoff and the knockers gang accuses

are favored by the employment
through which you earn your living?

great central states, of the middle
west, who are looking for homes in the
newer parts of our county, do not want
TO come to a place where their chill
dren cannot hear the names of Wash
ington, Adams, Jefferson, Lincoln and
Mckinley They will put their money,
tnelr brains, their energy, and their
children elsewhere. That is what the
knockers want them to do. That is
