ing of Year.

The battalion Of high school cadets were
brought together for the last time this
year. yesterday afternoon and arrange
ments were made for the encampment
that is to start on the week following the
close of school. The place voted on for
the camp was one mile west of Lehi
Junction, but owing to the rise of Utah
lake 1T has been found necessary to change
this to within about the same distance of
American Fork.
A change has been made in the time for
the commencement of the encampment
The original idea was to start on the
Tuesday after the close of school, The
school board recently decided to hold the
commencement, exercises on that night.
and for this reason the camp will not
start until the day after the commence
ment exercises.
The athletic events for the, camp have
been decided upon. A pennant will be
given the company team winning out in

competed for each year. A battalion base

Brigham H. Roberts delivered an in
tensely interesting address last evening
before the teachers of the church of Lat

convention in this city. 1t had been an
nounced that Mr.. Roberts would begin his
address at 8 o'clock. but owing to the fact
that a number of the teachers are of the
Utah university alumni, it was decided
to begin at O'Clock in order that these
teachers might attend last evenings exer-
cises at the university. AS a result a
number of people VINO desired TO hear Mr..
Roberts speak were disappointed to find
that his address was more than half
completed when they arrived at Barratt

Twentieth Century Education.

Education in the Twentieth Century
was the theme of Mr.. Roberts address.
Mr. Roberts said he was prompted to talk
on this subject by the changes that had
come into the educational world during
recent years. His interest he said in this
subject had been aroused through reading
magazine and newspaper articles respect
ing the Cecil Rhodes scholarships at Ok
ford.
Mr.. Roberts expressed the belief that
the education of the future would have
less of the classics and more of truth
there will be less effort at imparting
knowledge and more attention will be paid
to developing capacity and power. The
unitarian idea will gain greater victories
than ever: mechanical arts will be taught
more extensively. Mr. Roberts quoted
Ruskin saying that if a boy learned to
saw a board straight and to shave a
plank with plane half his education had
been perfected.

Plea for Teachers Pensions.

Mr. Roberts made an eloquent plea for
system of pensions for teachers. He
believed that, after a service. say. of
twenty years, the teacher should have
the privilege of retiring with provision
made in his behalf. Mr.. Roberts admit
ted that the system of giving pensions TO
soldiers was a grand and noble system.
but he declared that the teacher was far

Must Study Evil.

Mr.. Roberts declared that evil as well
a S good must be studied by the educa tor.
He who does not study evil cannot be
called a teacher. A teacher ought TO know
evil and to know its nature, in order that
he may correct il.
Mr.. Roberts said that while the schools
of the Latter-Day Saints were called
church schools, they are in no sense sec
tartan schools-they are religious schools,
but they are broadly religious.
The highest praise was spoken of the
capable teacher. 1.-The teacher is an es-
sential member of society. To have the
ability to teach one must have the gift,
the power to awaken interest in the
progress of the world. Such combina-
ton of faculties is so seldom found that
when it is found ii ought to be regarded
as the pearl of great price. 1t ought to
have the assurance that there can be
nothing to disturb it. There should be no
haunting fear and dread of superannua-

Study Larger Subjects.

1t was the belief of the speaker that
henceforth, the scope of study will be
larger. There will be wider study of the
universe, of nature and of force. The
coming education will teach the nature of
man and his relationship to the universe I;
his duty to society and to government.
This, said Mr.. Roberts, had been pre-
dicted by Brigham Young long ago.
There is one great fundamental princi-
pie" said Mr.. Roberts, The who would
know himself must also know God; he
must know God through Jesus Christ. his

THRIFT MAKES WEALTH.
French People Own the Securities OF
Other Nations.

The public debt of France is s6,-
000,000,000, all held at home. In
addition, the French people own for-
eign securities to the stupendous ag-
gregate OF SIS, 00,000,000 and it is
further estimated that an equal
amount is placed in home securities.
These figures may be exaggerated
al but those representing the pub
lie debt-but they illustrate the vir-
tue there is in thrift, which is also a
German usage.
There is no Rockefeller, no Carne-
gle, in France, though there may be
a lesser Russell Sage. The French
people do not speculate; they save.
They do not get rich at hop, skip
and jump; they accumulate by slow
desrees-they economize. The crime
of crimes in rural France is waste,
and France would subsist on what
America throws away. Within the
past year there have rotted on Amer
lean farms enough machinery and
utensils to supply agricultural France
the next quarter of century. A
peasant of Normandy would as leave
subject his household plunder to the
rage of the elements as his plows, or
! harrows, or harvesters. And the same
| is true Of the German on the other
side of the Rhine. Waste makes want
everywhere, and frugaity maGes
wealth everywhere.
France is blessed with a soil more
fertile and a climate more favorable
| than Germany, and that is why toll
gets richer return on the French side
OF the Rhine. 1t was ever so. Cen

and for ages it was the trade Of both

blessings of peace to make accumuls-
ton that would allow them to indulge

all changed, and another thirty years
