AS TO MUSIC.
Among the features In which the
schools have made gratifying progress
during the year may be noted the eX-
pansion in music. and the institution of
rhythmic exercises like the folk-dance
a number of the schools have their
complete orchestras. both in the minor
and the higher grades. and great deal
of interest is displayed by the pupils m
the study of the different instruments
assigned them in the makeup of these
orchestras Very acceptable music is
produced by these organizations. all of
which is encouraging alike to teacher
and pupil.
THE success attending the folk-dan
feature was fully attested on the field
day last June at Wandamcre. where
the pupils from the various schools
performed on the greensward the evo-
lutlons of those graceful steps so COM
mon in the older countries of Europe
Each school had been assigned tho
dance characteristics of some particular
nation. like the Norwegian or Ger
man dances, and the ensemble effect OF
all was very pleasing to behold. Tho

HUMAN AT LEAST.

An American player who fulfilled
several London engagements under tho
late Sir Henry irving tells story of a
young man employed as the TRACE
dams dresser when Irving was the
lessere of the Lyceum theater. The
young fellow had been recommended
for the place by Clarkson, the cele-
brated wlgmaker. Irving was as eX-
acting in matters of makeup as he was
in everything else relating to stage
equipment. and he succeeded in I'M
pressing Clarkson with deep sense
OF responsibility.
Shortly after his entering upon his
new duties Clarkson called upon his
former employee. AS Clarkson had
noticed that he did not get as many
orders for wigs from Irving as he
formerly did, he had begun to suspect
that the dresser was accountable.
"Are you making Sir Henrys wigs y
Clarkson demanded without preliml-
nary.
Sometimes"
"Do YOU call that a wig?" sneered
the caller. pointed to an article on
the dressing table. DO you mean to
tell me that you believe that thing
looks ali all like wig?"
NO sir, 1 don't" hotly replied the
dresser, now considerably lrritated,
"but I do mean to say as now 1t looks

Pace With IMPROVEMENTS

~ RAT1FYING expansion in the
n various branches of education
" B has marked the progress of the
city schools in the year just
drawing to a close. In the opinion
of ID. II. Christensen, superintendent
the year has been characterized by
as least two epoch-making events. one
of which is the elimination of the
plan for the retirement of teachers
by which pedagogues who have served
as teachers for a certain number OF
years may retire on a pension suffi-
cient to maintain themselves respect
ably after they have become incapac-
itated for the exacting duties of their
calling. and the other is the construc-
absolutely fire-proof
There have been three epochs in
the education of children prior to the
present year, in the history of Salt
Lake public Schools" said Superinten-
dent Christensen These have been;
first, the consolidation of school In
terests; second, more careful super
vision OF the school work. and third.
the Introduction of free text books.
Each of these conditions has wrought
wonders in the education OF the young,
and with the construction in the fu-
ture of nre-proof buildings, relieving
the minds of the parents In regard
to the safety of the children. and the
operation of the teachers retirement
plan. relieving the minds of the teach
ers as to their ultimate fate when
they shall have arrived at the age
limit, the work of educating the
youth of the city win have lost its
chief causes of anxiety. and in its
place Will be substituted the principle
of contentment which Will go fart
toward realizing the standard Of ef-
ficlency so earnestly sought for by
educators of the land.
MANUAL TRAINING.
Expansion in the departments of
manual training and sewing has been
one of the features of the years work.
Last year sewing machines were In
troduced into the eighth grades
of the grammar schools. and
this year the course Is con-
tinued in high school so that.
in addition to the machines, work is
given in simple diagrams and dress
cutting, representing the expansion OF |
the work for girls.

HIGH SCHOOLS.
Some high school work was attempt
ed by the local schools before consol-
idation. Perhaps the pioneer work In
this line was done by Draper There it
WAS run In connection with the grade
schools. The same plan was tried
after consolidation--that of having the
high school and the grade school under
one principal: but the experiment was
not satisfactory. In 1907 the board of
education purchased the old grade
school building in Sandy and made OF
1t permanent nome for the high
school in the valley. The wisdom of
the board in this purchase is shown by
the healthy growth of the high school

HABIT OF READING.
Inc habit of reading, the power
TO read. the desire to read and tho
taste lot the right kind of reading
are considered essential in this sub
1ect. and the results are shown in
the demand made by the children
upon the public library for suitable
BOOKS In the beginning, the pupil
learns the mechanics of reading, and
at an early age the child becomes
independent and by the application
oil the mechanics of reading masters
the difficulties of orthography and
becomes self-confident, and the habit
OF reading becomes fixed and he soon
seeks the public library In his quest
of books.
The public library has assisted the
work of the schools in this regard to
a great degree. Two years ago this
Office sent out to nearly hundred
well known people the request that
they write down the name of some
volume which they read at different
ages of childhood together with their
opinion as to suitable books for the
perusal of children. The response was
gratifying and from the list thus OBJ
tanned number of books were select
ed and the suggestion made that these
books be recommended as suitable for
home reading.
A READING LIST
The list included such books as Ben
Hur, Gullivers Travels. Silas Mariner,
Ivanhoe. David Copperheld Black
Beauty. Astoria, Last of the Mohicans.
and hundred others The result was
surprising. and in the two years the
records show that 2.119 children have
read the story Of Black Beauty alone.
and others In proportion In the home
reading course. The library has Iyur-
chased as many as 80 copies of a
single book demanded for reading
by the children, and in every way has
assisted and supported the schools in
inculcating the habit of reading good
books among the children.

THE teachers of the state arc becorn-

the years go by, and now there are
more teachers holding state certificates
and life diplomas than ever before. A
potent factor in bringing this about
has been the summer school session
at the state university The session
last summer was attended by more
than 500 teachers. and most of these
were from the outlying districts OF the
