A SALT LAKE BOOSTER

D. II. Christensen, superintendent of
city schools, is a booster for greater
Salt Lake, especially along educational
lines. During the past few years re-
markable Improvement has been made in
the school curriculum. Judging from the
increase in the number of pupils attend
ing city schools, Salt Lake is growing at
a rapid rate.
1.-The expansion of the school system
in keeping with the general growth of
the city, with a view to giving the pu-
pills the best along educational lines, is
shown by the introduction Of manual
training said Superintendent Christen-
sen last night. That Salt Lake is keep
ing pace with cities of still greater popu-
lation is evident also from the fact that
a pension law has been enacted, which
assures teachers who have grown old in
the service that in their declining years
they will be provided for. This law was
enacted two years ago and now sufficient
money has accrued on the bonds allotted
for that purpose that the board has been
enabled to retire several teachers.
Just as better buildings are being
erected throughout the city for business
uses than were erected several years ago,
so also are better school buildings being
erected. The jefferson school is prac-
ticaily perfect from a sanitary point of
view and is absolutely fireproof In its
points of general excellence | believe it
is one Of the best in the United States.
THE introduction of manual training
was the first expansion of study repre-
sentative of the demand for practical
side to all education. AS an outgrowth
of the preparatory work in the grammar
grades, manual training has been intro
duced also in the High school and equip
ment for woodwork has been introduced
there by the board at a cost of $4,000.
This course will be later expanded into
an additional two years, to include iron
work For the girls, domestic science
and housekeeping found place in the High
school last year, and this year a course in
Sc wing, which grows out of and is built
on that done in the grammar depart
ment. When the girl completes her work
in the High school she will be able to de-

Religious Truths.

Along the coast of the Gulf Of Guinea
in West Africa, there are more converts
TO the Presbyterian church among the
natives than in all Utah. This and many
other interesting facts concerning the
progress of missions on the dark con-
tinent," were given in the course of a
lecture by the Rev DR.. W. NJ. Paden at
the First Presbyterian church last night.

the natives in the French Congo.

EVANGELIST LEARNS
FROM MEN IN PRISON
Tom Mackey Considers Himself Null
timillionaire Compared With
Convicts.

With faces unsmiling, their ciean-snaN-
en- countenances grimly expressive OF
hopeIessness and the despair of men shut
away from the society of their fellow
men. 26O prisoners with folded arms,
faced Evangelist Tom Mackey at the
state penitentiary yesterday afternoon
and listened to an address on the sub
ject of Gods Love for AL The evan

at the close of the meeting.

SPEAKER IN CITY JAIL
HAS MIXED AUDIENCE
Some Prisoners Listen Attentively,
Others Smoke, While Some Hide
in Their Blankets.

Prisoners in the city Jail who have not
heard a religious sermon for years list
ened to one yesterday that they will not
soon forget. and they listened whether
they wanted to or not, for the new rule
that prisoners should not be brought from
their cells for prayer service went into
effect yesterday, and T. 3. Jacobs, rep
resenting the Y NJ C. A, did not allow
iron bars or the jeers of unwilling list
eners to deter him from conveying the
gospel message he had come to deliver
Simply ard earnestly the young man
preached his brief sermons, and he
preached four of them. speaking to all
sides of the steel enclosure where the
city prisoners cells are located. He told
the prisoners that they were undergoing
punishment for crimes committed against
society. and used this as an Illustration
to drive home the truth that their sins
against God would just as surely meet
punishment.
A few of The prisoners stood at res
pectful attention with their heads barred.
Others defiantiy smoked cigarettes and
one or two rolled their heads in their
blankets rather than hear the truth that
was being expressed so forcibiy by the
undisturbed young man outside their cells.

LOUIS sCHaFFRoDT is DEAD.
One of the First Settlers of WalIhalla.
SH Was S5 Years Old.

t Louis Schaffrodt, 50 years of age,
and one of the early settlers OF Wall
halla, died at his home In Midwa,
last Monday night at 11.5O o'clock.
He had been i'll for three weeks, suf-
fering from an attack of pneumonia.
The end came peacefully, and as the
midnight hour neared he gently fell
on Sleep"
AR. Schaffrodt was born in Ger
many on January 11th, 1924, and
came to this country early in life,
landing in Charleston, from which
place he soon came to Walhalla with
the members of the German Colonf-
cation Society, and he had since
made his home here continuously.
he was a cabinet maker by trade,
and, as Is usual with the men of
his nationality, was master of his
trade. Some handsome pieces of
substantial and finely made cabinet
work, still in the homes of our older
citizens, now bear witness to his
skill, and Will do so for years to
come. All the fancy interior work
OF the Walhalla Lutheran church was
also executed in his shop. In early
days he made practically every coffin
that was used In Walhalla and for
miles around.
Mr.. Schaffrodt was married in
Germany prior to his removal to this
country, and his wife, now about 76
years of age, survives him. No chill
dren were ever born to this union.
Mr.. Schaffrodt was a good citizen,
Z honest and upright in all his deal
fngs with his fellow men. He had
long been member Of the Lutheran
church, and at the time of his death
was a consistent member of St
Johns Lutheran church of WalhalIa.
For long term Of years he was the
treasurer of that church. and always
performed his duties in that office
faithfully and we'll. He was an hum
Bile Christian, and though he had for
year or more, owing to his advanced
years and feeble health, been con-
fined closely to his home, and was
seldom able to attend the services of
his church, he will be greatly missed
from its councils and congregations,
In which, for almost half century,
his was one Of the most familiar fig
ures.
In his death good man has been
called to his reward, and many will
learn Of his taking away with sor-
row. Funeral services were conduct
ed this morning at IL o'clock from
st. Johns Lutheran church by his
pastor, Rev. Il. B. Epting, after
which the body was inferred in the
Lutheran cemetery, a large concourse
OF friends having gathered to pay
the last sad tribute to his memory.

THE METHODIST CONFERENCE.
Annual Session Will BE Held this
Year at Abbeville.

The South Carolina Methodist An
nual Conference will be held in Alb
beville, beginning on the Sth of De-
cember and continuing a week.
There will be over four hundred
delegates at the conference next
month, and one OF the most import
ant questions that is expected to
come before the meeting will be whe-
ther or not it will be best to divide
the conference into two sections or
divisions. The present conference is
very large and some claim it has
been unwieldy.
If this question is not presented
and passed this year there will be no
hope of having such a change take
effect for at least four years, as the
matter has to be acted upon by the
General Conference, which meets
every three years, and this will be
in session next May at Asheville.
If division Is asked by the con-
ference 1T seems likely that 1t will be
accompanied by the request that the
dividing line run east and west
through Columbia, so as to equally
divide the Piedmont and coast sec
tions between the two bodies.
Another of the chief items of busi-
ness for the coming conference will
be choosing twelve delegates to the
General Conference, six lay and six
clerical. The General Conference is
the legislative body of the Metho-
dists, and it is the only church body
In which the lay delegates equal in
number the clerical and have the
same voting power.
The General Conference will hear
an interesting appeal from the South
Carolina Conference. This will be
from the conferences action in the
celebrated Creighton case, which was
tried in Columbia, the conference
finding the defendant, Editor Criegh-
ton, of the Christian Appeal, guilty
of "slandering some of the clerical
members Of the conference and eX-
pelling him from both the ministry
and the church. DR.. Creighton has
perfected his appeal and will prose-
cute it vigorously.
