More Space Needed.

Although there is not much apprehen-
sion felt that the schools will be greatly
OvercrOwded the first day the board real
ICES from a study of the school census
that the southern section OF the city ana
also the district on the west side of the
tracks is growing rapidly and that 1t
will only be a matter of a month or two
when the demand for space will be great
er than the supply in these LOCALITIES
Already steps have been taken to secure
additional room where it is thought II
will be necessary and probably before
the term is well under way several tenn
porary school rooms will have to be tit
ted up.
Last spring the taxpayers voted for a
$3.50 900 bond issue for the construction of
additional buildings and the acquiring OF
property on which to build them. Unfor-
tunately the eastern money market has
been in such a condition that it has not
been deemed advisable to offer the bonds
for sale for fear that they might not sell
at par Last year at this time AZ per
cent bonds brought all the way from 103
to los. but this year a careful scrutiny of
the bond market reports shows that SINH
lar bonds seldom sell at par.
Three Large Buildings.
With the money which the board will
acquire from the sale of these bonds it is
expected to build three large buildings,
one in the southern, one in the western
and one in the northern part of the
CITY 1t is in these districts that the
congestion is the worst and 1t is hoped
that by the opening of the school year Of
1903 these buildings will be ready for
occupancy.
The board recently let contract to w.
J. Tuddenham for the construction of g
six-room addition to the Sumner school,
which will be ready before Christmas
This school is located on Third East and
sixth South streets and is in the heart
of the congested district. The cost of
the addition viii be approximately S21, 900

lie 1t was never intended to call the
pupils together on that date and the
announcement was only made to apply
to teachers and to them only in order to
assure the legality of the pay rolls.
The board of education will hold
meeting at noon today to assign teach
ers to the various schools. Most of the
old teachers will probably secure the
same assignments as last year if they so
desire. The boards action in the mat
ter is only to formally approve of the
recommendation of the superintendent.

SCHOOL OPENS
NEXT TUESDAY
Supervisors and Principals
Are Preparing for
Fall Term.

The Salt Lake public schools will open
for the fall term at o'clock Tuesday
morning, Sept. 3.
All the supervisors and principals have
returned from their vacation and every
thing is in readiness for the opening.
Most of the 400 teachers are also in town
ready for work.
During the summer months all the
buildings have been thoroughly renovated
and repaired where the necessity arose
The repair bill this year was $1,000,
against $4,000 for 1906.
There will be a meeting of all teachers
at the assembly room of the Lafayette
building Monday morning. This meet
ing has caused considerable comment, as
Monday is Labor day, out it is explained
by the school authorities that the meet
ing is necessary if the teachers wish to
secure pay for that day The law pro-
vides that the pay of teachers shall be
gin on the first school day which is
Tuesday. In order to include Monday
and start the pay rolls from that date it
is necessary to in some way call II the
first day of school and in order to do
this the meeting was deemed necessary,

LET THE NEGRO ALONE"
Continued from first page)

take that was made originally was
that the theorist of the North
placed him on high pedestal of
equality in more senses than be-
fore the law, and he could do moth
ing but tumble off, the Negro was
by many consigned to the failures
of the world and by others, like
Tillman, he was denounced and
abused and kicked and burned.
But let the Negro alone. Let
him find his place and his work
and let him do it. Let him be
treated and respected as he deserves
the same as other men. In that
way the worthless members of the
race will be eliminated and the
useful members will fill their mis-
sion in the world. If every white
man and every black man will tend
to his own business there is no
Negro question that need give us
a great deal of trouble. But if
we continue exalting the Negro
on the one hand and burning him
ON the other, there will some day
be an acute racial question"
