THE SCHOOL PROBLEM.

Our recent comments on the school
problems lead Prof. Stewart to explain
how Utah educational institutions are
seeking to realize the educational ideal.
He says that the problem Of social
izing the school, that is, of making
school study correspond as closely as
possible with the life, work. and daily
occupations OF the people, has been the
aim OF our schools for many years.
The home life of the child is some
what fully represented in the domestic
science departments. which are con-
Quoted in such manner as to insure
the training of each child in the daily
activities of the household, and par
ticularly in such work as cooking,
serving. the preparation, preservation,
and sanitary care of foods, and the
ventilation and cleaning of dwelling
apartments.
The manual arts and trades and other
Socations of industry are as fully taken
care of as possible in shops fitted up
for modern woodwork and in others

SALT LAKES POPULATION.

The habit OF overestimating the
population of salt Lake can serve no
useful purpose.
In 1900 the number of inhabitants
of this city was estimated at Si,6o6.
Everybody felt good about this figure
until the government census came out
giving the actual population as 6s,S2l,
deducting from the estimate based on
the Directory no less than S1,2S5.
This year the estimate of the popula-
tion based on the same authority is u
total OF 1885 That would be Il
growth of 5sO25 since the Census fig
ures of 1900 we're obtained. But that
IS impossible
n, TO obtain n correct figure. the
present estimate must he reduced on
the same scale as in 19OO-which is
highly probable-the actual population
now is 7O,sO3 That is more likely.
Even that would be an encouraging in
crease 1t would be an addition of
fr4s2 in not quite eight years.
Salt Lake has. as we have so often
remarked every facility for growth and
development But 1t viii never in
crease as 1t should do until the strife
breeders are rendered harmless and the
city government entrusted to honest
business men who are independent
and dare to do what is right, in spite
of the threats of self-appointed des-
pots. Salt Lake needs business gov
eminent that knows how TO reduce
taxes and use the legitimate income
of the City economically, to the best
advantage. When the city is not taxed
to death, it will grow and develop.
