EDUCATORS DISCUSS
IMPORTANT PROFILE MS
Interesting Discussion Is Had
on Questions Relating
to Teaching.

At a well-attended meeting of public
school principals OF the city, two import
ant questions wero discussed WedneS-
day afternoon. and the meeting proved to
be interesting as we'll as instructive
Among the visitors present were Prof
Stewart OF the normal school and Mr.
Welch and Mrs YoungbcrG of the same
institution.
Discussion Is Opened.
When the discussion was taken up, Mr.,
Martin OF the Grant school wns called
upon To express his opinion on the iret
topic.
Does the course OF study mako pro-
vision for the teaching of reading. writ
Ing. arithmetic language or grammar
geography, history and spelling commen-
surate with tho great Importance OF the
subjects namedl"
Mr. Martins Contentious,
Mr. Martin maintained that ample time
is spent upon these 'fundamenta,
stpdicS.' as they are generally looked
upon. To prove this. he lnstanced the
exact time spent upon these subjects In
tho various grades, as shown by the
teachers programmes.
AS to Oral Arithmetic
Mr. Folsom OF the Washington ex
pressed the opinion that oral arithmetic
might proftably receive moro emphasis.
Mr. Barton of the Hamilton spoke OF
tho aim in the reading work as q whole
The ability to read intclligently was en-
phasized, rather than oratorical effect.
which our fathers remember so fondly.
Aid to Reading.
Miss oaultrough and Mr. Bradford
spoke Of the aid TO the reading given by
arithmetic, geography and other sub
tects.
Mr., Welsh OF the training school spoke
along the same lines, He thought more
time could be prohtably given to classi-
cal wholes for reading material rather
than the ''scrappy" reading books much
in use now.
Stewart Speaks at Length.
Prof Stewart wac called upon and
spoke at length upon the subject,
Superintendent Christensen announced
that as time had come for closing, the
discussion would be resumed one week

ELECTRICAL SHOW
HAS CONE TO END
Forty Thousand Persons We're
Entertained and Instructed
By the Exhibit.

The electrical show that has been In
continuous successful operation In the
Aztec building since April 2. closed
Wednesday night During the process OF
this exhibition IL IS estimated that fully
f0000 people attended II and were enter
talned and instructed by the display OF
numerous devices and tho tions
Of the various practical uses TO which
electricity can be put. The show has
been intensely educational from both
theoretical and practical etnndpoints.
Interest Is Surprising.
The manner in which public interest
has kept up has been surprising and cX-
cecdlngly satisfactory to tho promoters
OF the enterprise There are a vast num-
ber OF people In Salt Lake and Its tTib-
utary territory who know much more
about electricity and what it can be made
10 do than they did before the show
opened. While 1t has been free to the
public and its maintenance has entaIled
considerable expense, 1t Is considered by
It's promoters and supporters, those deal
Ing In electrical appliances, TO have been
a paying investment
To Whom Success Is Due.
For its success there Is due much credit
10 large portion of the electrical deal
ers and electrical workers OF the city, In
cludins those connected with every
branch or this comprehensive industry.
1t was originally planned TO keep the
show open until Thursday night. but sew
eral reasons arc given for the apparent
premature closing. 1t was found thnt It
would require all of Thursday to yacate
the building and the incoming tenant Is
entitled 10 possession Friday.
Another Show Next Year.
Tho exhibitors have had extra work for
over week and they are entitled to a
ccssa ton from uyerwork Most OF them
have attended to their regular work dur
Ing the first half of the day and then at
tended the show until nearly Midnight
and there Ia limit TO endurance. 1t was
also thought best to close the exhibit be-
fore the interest on the part OF the public
began to lag, so that another similar but

VOTING MACHINE
IS GIVEN TEST
Easy to Manipulate and SO Sim
pie That Anybody Can Eas-
lily Understand 1t.
SIX VOTES ARE RECORDED
In F0RTY-SIX SECONDS
Test Proves Highly Satisfactory
to Large Number of Per-
sons Present.

In the presence of the special commit
tee on voting machines. comprising the
County Commissioners, Mayor Thompson
and two members of the City Council, the
United States Standard Voting machine
was given thorough test In the office of
the County Commissioners Wednesday.
Easy to Operate.
To say that the test was highly salts
FACTORY Is nothing more than should be
said. The machine. while complicated, so
far as its mechanism Is concerned Is so
simple of operation that a ten-year-old
boy OF ordinary intelligence can easily
master II In couple OF minutes An ordl-
nary man or woman only has TO be
SHOWN once and after that he or she
Knows as much about the operation OF
the machine as the man who made It.
Cannot Render Ballot Void.
One OF the best features of the machine
voter to vote for two men who are
running for the same office II also is i'm
possible to render the ballot void.
How 1t Is Operated.
The various candidates on the several
tickets are placed in n row. IL the voter
pushes little lever marked American"
Democrat" or whatever the ticket may
be. and then pulls the large lever that
operates the machine. This votes the
Can Only Vote for One Person.
When the lever marking the party is
pushed, little indicators fall down which
point TO the names of all the candidates
on that ticket, II the voter desires to
scratch" he pushes up the Indicator
over the name that he does not wish to
vote and pushes down Indicator over
the name of the candidate on some other
ticket for whom he desires to cast his
vote This locks the machine so far az
the candidate for that Office is concerned.
so that II Is impossible to vote for two
men for the same office.
Automatically Counted.
AS votes arc recorded an automatic
counter keeps track OF the number of
persons who have voted, and when all
the votes are recorded the back of the
machine is opened and every mans vote
Is found totaled
What It Will Save.
The members OF the committee were
highly pleased with the machine, the only
question arising as TO Its adoption being
the financial outlay required. The agent
contends however that the adoption OF
the machines means a saving OF nearly
$500 year, and he is willing to sell the
city the number Of machines required
and let the amount saved be paid in an
nual lnstallments until the machines are
paid for.
Will Test Machines Friday
As the law provides that the State
Board OF Examiners must pass upon any
machine before ii is adopted, that board
Will witness a test Friday.
Works in Rapid Manner.
In order TO test the rapidity with which
votes may be recorded. six men, who had
