resolution coming from the Juvenile
court section to ask the incoming legis-

mentally deficient children. This move
Will doubtless meet with favor in the
convention, and it is in line with the
resolutions passed by the Utah State
Federation of Women's clubs at .heiT
convention in Park City.
Doubtless the good attendance has
been effected by the new plan of pay
ing the teachers from half 10 full pay
for the time of the convention, and as
this has been found to be a good plan,

a general discussion followed in which
caustic criticisms of a more or less per-

notony. In discussion on articulation
and enunciation Mrs. Little of Heber

Ella f. Dukes, whose paper on Prep
