PORTER WALKER
 MUCH IMPROVED Young Man Struck By Street
 Car Yesterday INJURED ABOUT THE HEAD Was Conscious Last Night and Slept Much of the Tlme-Expected to Be Out Again
INJURED ABOUT THE HEAD

The condition of Porter Walker, the young man who was struck by a street car yesterday morning at o'clock, Is much improved. In fact, he is out of all danger, and the physicians think he will soon be out again, For some time 1t was feared that the skull had been fractured, but after a close examination 1t was found that the head is not seriously in- pured.
 MT. Walkers escape, however, was cer- tainly miraculous. It seems that he was running to catch a North Birmingham | car at the corner of First avenue and Twentieth street, when ne ran In front I of a Fountain Heights ear, which struck him down. A wagon which happened to be passing blocked his view of the ap- preaching car until 1t was too late for him to escape.
 Presence of Mind Saved Him.
 However according to eye witnesses, it was his uuickness of mind and action that saved him. No sooner was he knock ed down than the fender passed over his body. but before the wheels had touched him he grabbed the fender itself, and was dragged along a few feet by 1t until the motorman came to stop.
 The man Tn cnarBe or the car stdltu that he was preparing to stop for the street and was moving slowly. He i'm medately applied the brake when Walker ran in front of him. Policeman Hawkins was the first to reach the injured man. He was unconscious and blood was run ming from his nose.
 Ills limp form was carried immediately to Golfers drug store where the wounds were carefully examined The ambulance of Shaw & Son was called and Walker was carried hurriedly to the Hillman hos pltal Dr. l.. G. McCullum administered some restoratives and he came around all right.
 Suffered From Skull Wound
 During the day he suffered consider ably from a wound at the base of the skull, where the fender struck Last night however. he was more restful, per- fectly conscious, and slept much of the time. Unless complications set in he will be up in short time.
 Mr. Porter Walker is a well known business man, a member of the Walker & Oliver insurance agency, with offices in the Brown Marx building. He lives in the Margaret apartments. He is the son of the late William A. Walker well known over the state as an attorney. He Is man of many friends who will be glad to know of his improvement

Support the Local High
School.

There is virtually no oppO-
sition in Utah to the local high
school. Business men, farmers,
and mechanics see in it educational
opportunities for the poor boy or
girl unable to go away from home
to secure such advantages, in
addition the money necessarily
expended by the individual away
from home is to be kept in the
local district. The parents see
in it educational training with
their children under the blessed
influence of home surrounded by
brothers, sisters, and friends, with
the family circle unbroken.
Educators see in it increased edu-
cationsl opportunities for the
masses by bring to the doors of
the common people and offering
for a few dollars what has been
far removed by distance and ex-
pense.
The state legislature now in
session is favorable toward giving
state aid to these local high schools.
But there are two difficult ques-
tions confronting the legislature.
The first is where to get the money
with which-to help these worthy
institutions; the second is how to
legislate so that Il system of local
high schools may be built up in
this state occupying Legitimate
place in the public school system
and receiving a just proportion OF
of the state money for their sup.
port.
As to the first difficulty there
are at least two suggestions,
One that the money be taken
from the fund at present devoted
to the grade public schools of the
state, the other that appropria,
tons for higher educational in,
situations be curtailed and the
money thus saved given to local
high schools. Of the two pro,
posals the latter is most tenable
Anything that would weaken
the grade public school system Of
this state strikes a blow at the
very foundation of the whole edu,
cational system. And while it is
true that the higher educational
institutions need the money fol
which they ask, they can better
afford to lose any amount which
may be taken for high school
purposes than can the common
schools in the local districts.
Whether this money be saved by
consolidation, elimination, OF
other means, we are among those
who strongly advocate the justice
of hell 'ng the poor mans col

details that would be of advantage
to foreign nations. President Roose-
welt was at first inclined to share
Admiral Evans opinion but a confer

Admiral Brownson caused him to
change his mind. Rear Admiral
Brownson is especially opposed to any
publicity in naval affairs. Admiral
Evans VIII now have the RESPONSE

is about to gain, he told a newspa-

The president watched the impos-
