Teachers V isit Lehi.

Last Saturday was teachers
day. The city was honored with
the presence of one hundred and
fifty teachers from the voriou,
school districts of Utah County
who were holding their regular
monthly institute. No body OF
workers could be more welcome.
Their presence in any cemmuni-
ty is an inspiration to become
better and more intelligent.
Those of our citizens who met
with them found pleasure and
profit, the lecture by Prof Stew
art being especially full of good
things.
The visiting teachers expressed
their pleasure in meeting in the
tabernacle, and hearing the new
pipe organ, and were delighted
with the new Primary School
building and the grounds sur
rounding.
The luncheon was appreciated,
1t was we'll arranged and a
thorough success due to the
sisters OF the Second ward.
The Sugar Factory visit in the
afternoon was a fitting climax to
the days convention. Sugar
making was observed at first
hand. Supts. Gardner and Crabb
were much in demand by school
mistresses eager to know the
mysteries of extracting pure white
sugar from dirty" looking beets.
We see no reason why the
teachers should not hold their
conventions in the different
cities in the county. Lohi holds
