THE SPIRIT OF FLOWERS"
Lavender In Way Unique Among

ender must rank very high, spiritually,
In flower circles, its scent being almost
Its whole claim to existence, though
the grace Of It's coloring should count
for something also. One utters the
truism that the smell OF lavender
is unlike that Of any other flower, for
getting more completely than usual
that this is true of every flower in
the world. Whether legendary or not,
the theory tEat derives the name OF
lavender from It's scent is very pleas
ant one. The Welsh name for II, as
far back as the thirteenth century,
was certainly Infant and Ilfantly; so
1t is easy to believe that this, too,
came from the Latin lavare, to wash,
and therefore refers to the old Roman
custom OF putting the flowers in their
baths for the sake Of their fragrance
That laundry and lavender should
have common origin is more poetic
than 1t may sound.

CHANCE FOR FAME.

Those in the community who have
great punches Of money that they
don't know what to do with might
well mediate upon the action OF G. w.
Niblcy in presenting the Brigham
Young College with $40, 900 as a starter
for much needed building, Possibly
there are few here other than Nibley
and the newspaper men who can hand
out $4,000 at clip, but there are
various public interests that would be
glad to accept smaller amounts,
For instance, the pictures at the
Turner Art exhibit, TO be given in
this city in few days, will be for sale
at prices ranging up to $1,000. The
city schools desire to secure number
of these pictures for decorative pur-
poses and an admission to the exhibit
Is charged In order that a purchase
fund may be created. However, the
schools would have no hesitancy In
accepting any number Of these pict-
ures presented by citizens possessing
the Carnegie or Nibley spirit. In fact,
such kindly action would unques.
tionably meet with gratitude unlm-
tied, and these pictures, bearing a
brass.name plate proclaiming the de-
ner, would be hung in different rooms
with more pride and pleasure than one
might imagine.

1t is very gratifying fact that dur
ing the past year 1t has been possible
to secure for service on the University
and Agricultural College Boards men
of high intellectual and business quail
itications These men have served
the individual schools to the best Of
their ability at no cost TO the state.
Those who know something OF the
duties OF the board members know
that they could not well afford to give
more of their time gratis, yet the Gov
ernor proposes that both institutions
be placed under one board OF control
In view of the complications that
would naturally arise such consolida-
ton would mean not merely double
the work; it would mean that
the Boards work would be trebled
Can 1t be conceived that men OF great
business interests could be induced to
give so much OF their time as would
be necessary in case Of consolidated
Boardp And in paying for this service,
where would come in that economy"
which the Governor urges There are
many in this state who would be glad
to serve on such board without pay,
but do we want the kind OF men who
imagine they could afford to do that
for the sake of the honor that would
be theirs? The One Board idea does
not seem very promising from this
standpoint.

the EDUCATIONAL PROBLEM.

In a consideration OF the consolda.
tion idea, the legislators Of Utah may
well observe conditions in other states.
For instance, take the Territory OF
New Mexico. That state with a pop
ulation of 1875, $40 In 1900, has five
higher schools on different States:
the University at Albuquerque, the
Agricultural College at Mesilla Park,
Normal School at Silver City, School
Of Mines at Sorocco, and Normal
University at Las Vegas.
Yet there are those who would have
us believe that Utah, state much
weather. than New Mexico and con-
tanning almost double the population,
can not support three higher educa.
