Education in Utah in 1907 kept pace
with the progress OF the state in every
other legitimate line of human endeav-
or. The year was a good one for the
schools The training of the future
men and women of the state has been
in good hands as a rule. The teAchers
rank well with those of other and much
older states; the percentage of illiteracv
mas been kept at a point that is most
gratifying; good modern school houses
have been erected in many of the cities
and towns; districts have been CONSOLE
dated in many places to the great bene-
mt of the schools; supervision has been
careful and judicious; high schools have
been established at many points: bet
ter courses of study have been inaugu-
rated; numerous institutes have been
held, and a general uplift has been Civ
en- the cause of education in the state.
Like all other new states, Utah is
embarrassed for money to keep her
schools abreast of the times The state
is growing so rapidly and there are so
many demands made upon the school
funds that it is not always possible to
have the buildings, equipment and
teaching force that rapid progress de-
mands. These obstacles are being over
come, and on the whole the schools of
the state compare favorably with the
best. No educators anywhere are more
progressive

The University of Utah.

The crown of the entire educational
system of Utah is the University of
Utah. located on the east bench over
looking Salt Lake City. The founda
ton of this institution was laid by the
pioneers in 1850. but it is only within
quite recent years that it has forged
to the front as an educational magnet
for the ambitious of all Utah and the
states Immediately surrounding.
Today the University of Utah has a
thousand students under seventy-five
instructors, a strong faculty, and a
board of regents that is fully up with
the times in all matters of the higher
education. The buildings are ideal for
school work. and the site is equal 10

school is growing rapidly: new build
ings are to be added as rapidly as the

Combining Smaller Districts.

Great good has come to the rural
schools in some sections of the state
as the result of consolidating the small
school districts. Salt Lake county took
the initiative in this important matter.
Naturally the consolidation caused con-
fusion for a time; there was inconven-
fence and friction. But this has all
passed away now and the schools of the
county outside of Salt Lake Civ are
reaping the fruits of the change. The
efficiency of the schools of the county
has been materially increased; the cost
of supervision and management has
been reducerd; better school buildings
have sprung up in the main centers of
populations; the schools have been grad
ed far better than formerly; the pupils
on completing their courses of study
have been much better prepared to take
up work in the higher institutions. In
every material way the change has
proved vitality beneficial. Not the least
of the benefits is the securing of some
of the best men i'm the entire county for
school trustees, and better teachers be-
cause the schools are larger and bet
ter.
When the idea of consolidation is car
ried out along the lines laid out by its
projectors, there will be central high
schools at points most convenient TO
the greatest number in the county; pu-
pills will be transported when neces-
sary; the best of teachers will be Sc
cured because better salaries will be
paid, and their tenure in their positions
viii be more secure than under the old
system; the schools will be graded
much better; the compulsory education
law will be enforced much better the
schools will be furnished better and bet
ton will be distributed better over the
district; sanitary conditions will be bet
ter and far better results will be accom-
plished in every way.
Weber county and Box Elder county
consolidated their school districts dur
ing the year, and other counties in the
state are preparing to follow the lead.

PLENTY Of MONEY ALWAYS
IN UTAH FOR EDUCATION
Manifold Needs of Young State With Rapidly
Increasing Population Cause Pinches
Sometimes, but Are Met.
System of Schools Is Excellent and Is Being Improved Con-
StantIy-COnsolidatiO of Country Dis
triCtS Brings Good Results.

1t is a noteworthy fact that in those
counties in which consolidation has
been effected the school population in
attendance has increased almost 20 per
cent. This in itself is a powerful argu-
ment in favor of consolidation.
Teachers Institutes.
State superintendent A. c. Nelson. the
last legislature enacted a law consti-
tuting the state superintendent of pub
lie instruction, the principal of the
state normal school and the county SUI
perintendent of each county in the
state, respectively, a governing board
for the control of county teachers in
stitutes. This law is a substitute for
all previous laws under which insti-
tutes were held in a more or less go
as-yOu-please style.
The new law gives the board of con-
troll authority to call upon the state
normal school for expert instructors 20
take the lead in the county Institutes.
OF course, outside assistance may be
secured whenever needed. The state
normal school has co-operated heartily
in the work under the new law. The
result has been much better Institutes,
a bringing into closer relations the
state normal school and the teachers
of the state; great benefits to the
teachers and pupils because of the
better and more scientific principles
brought into operation.
High Schools Come to the Front.
Nothing gives greater encourage
ment to the friends of education in the
state than the progress made in the
high schools. This is in part due to
consolidation of the smaller districts
into enc big district in some of the
counties, but it is not all due to this.
In number of the larger communities
in Salt Lake county substantial buIld-
ingS have been erected within the
year. These new buildings are models
in their way; they are well built.
equipped with the latest and best de-
vices for safety and comfort, and mod
ern I'D every way. A substantial high
school building has just been compic.-
ed at Richtield, another one at Manti
and other smaller ones in other towns
in various parts of the state.
superintendent Nelson says that
schools that a few years ago were
giving but one years work beyond the
grades are now giving two years of
advanced work. Others have extended
their advanced work from two to three
years. Domestic science for the gir.s
and manual training for the boys have
been made prominent features of the
advanced work, to the great advan-
tage of all concerned. Practical work
has proved blessing, especially in the
cases of what were considered Dad
boys" Through this means thev have
been converted into enthusiastic
school workers.

Greatest of All Factors.

In discussing the forces that have
brought so high a degree of success to
the schools of Utah, first place must be
given to the teacher. It is the teacher
who makes the school, With a good
teacher a successful school can be built
up even though all the environments
are bad. Without good teacher little
can be accomplished even though the
surroundings are all that could be de-
sired.
Utah teachers measure up well to the
standard of the most progressive states
in the union. This is remarkable when
it is considered that many of them must
work under great difficulties
buildings, insufficient equipment and
low salaries. The low salaries paid are
looked upon as a menace to the sue
cess of the schools. 1t is a factor that
is driving many of the male teachers
from the profession. 1t is factor that
is making it very difficult to fill the po-
sitions with competent instructors
where men are demanded. 1t is pre-
senting one of the most serious prob
lens with which the school officers have
to contend.
In the past year it has been more diff
ficult than ever before to secure a suf-
ficient number of well trained teachers.
This is especially true of the outlying
districts. The chief cause of this is the
low salary scale that prevails. When
young men can make more money
working on the streets with a shovel
than they can make in the school ROOM
it is not surprising that they discard
the profession for other lines of activ-
ity. The fear is expressed that unless
a remedy is applied the school system
of the state will suffer. All the best
thinkers in school work agree that it is
wise to keep a good percentage of men
in the school rooms, especially where
the older pupils are taught. This mat
ter of inducing bright young men and
women to adopt the profession of teach
ing is one of the pressing problems in
Ct &c

Libraries for Public Schools.

Another good lift was given the
public schools outside the big cities.
Ihls was the enactment of the law
providing for school libraries The act
provides that outside the cities of the
first and second classes a tax levy CT
one-half of 1 mill may be made an
nuaily on the taxable property of the
school district for the purpose of in
stallinS and maintaining a public
school library. The fund thus secured
is to be expended under the direction
of the state board of education.
To comply with the requirements OF
the new law the state board of educa-
ton secured the services of a commit
tee of experts on common school a1n
juvenile literature TO revise the school
library list. A list of books was Sc
lecte1 with the utmost care, and this
list is now the basis of every common
school library outside the larger cities.
1t is considered that this list is of a
high order an will greatly supple
ment the regular course of study.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1907-06-11

The Yankees turned the tables on Detroit at
American League Park yesterday afternoon and
by heavy batting won by the score Of 9 to 3. 1t
was a treat to watch the game after the poor
exhibition by the home team on Saturday. The
Highlanders folded with snap and hit the ball
as if they were out to win.
Hughey Jennings trotted out Killian to fool
the Yankee batsmen. The tall Detroit pitcher
went back to the bench to stay in the second
inning. In the short time he was in the box
Killian was hit safely six times, including a
Dagger and a triple. These hits gave the
local players a lead Of five runs. for Detroit
didn't score until the sixth inning. Eubanks re-
placed Kilan. but he also was hit hard, and
five runs We're made while he twirled.
Joe Doyle did the honors for Clark Grifith's
team. He was steady. and held the game well
in hand at all times. The little pitcher was i'm
mune to the gbes of Jennings. and was always
cooler than the weather.
The Yankees scored once IN the first inning.
With two out Hal Chase made a clean single
and Laporte got TO first when Cobb muffed mis-
long fly. Williams followed with another single
and Chase romped across the plate.
There was some brilliant work with the bat in
the next inning. Morarity. who was playing in
Hofrman's place in centre field. started out with
a double to the left field fence Klenow lined
out a pretty single but Doyle forced out Mortar
ity at third base. Willie KeeleTs we'll placed
single brought in Klenow and Doyle and Keller
scored on Elberfelds out at first Chase then
hit to the left field fence and reached third by
a long slide. He came home on a short passed
ball Eubanks then took charge. and LapoTte
ended the inning by flying out
The Yankee infeld was considerably Strength
ened by the return OF Laporte to third base, The
score follows:
