BOARD OF EDUCATION.

NJ. S. Browning. the ncwly-clected
head OF the board Of education, is
bueiness man of high standing In this
community and his conduct on the
board of education is not open to re-
proach but In opposing the auditing
of the books of the board OF educa-
ton and in falling to support all meas
ures tending to make Of the past acts
OF the board an open book, TO not
only DR.. Coulter and Hyrum Pingree.
fellow members, but to all the people
OF this community, he is committing
a mistake. Business houses have
their books audited. without ever
Flint that the auditing is a reflection
on an employe. All business meth
ods require this checking up and this
accounting.
We do not think Mr.. Plneree or DR..
Coulter intended a reflection on any
one OF that they were playing poll
tics in the meeting of Friday night.
Our opinion is those two men will be
backed by an irresistible public opin-
ion in their efforts TO make number
cf radical changes In the control and
direction OF the affairs OF
the schools Of this city
They are entitled to all the informa-
tion obtainable as to past policies and
methods sanctioned and enforced by
the board of education; they are. fur
thermore, entitled to an assurance
that they are not falling heir to a
system that Will In any manner en-
barrass them or tend to block their
efforts to give TO Ogden better schools.
We trust those In opposition to DR..
Coulter and Mr.. Pingree will not con-
tinue to labor under the prejudice
that those men are prompted by poll
tics In their demands for changes in
the methods of the board of educa-
lion, and we further hope that by the
next meeting a more harmonious feel
ing will be created This we plead
and hope for In the name of the young
people of Ogden who must look TO
the managerial wisdom Of the board
to make possible such a schooling as
they are entitled to receive from a
city that expends as much money as
does Ogden for education.

there are departments for piano tun-
Ing. cane work, basket work. typewrt-
Ing and other accomplishments avail
able to the blind, that enable the
students to help support themselves
in after life. The only tning taught In
the Ogden school, 1t Is stated. is the
reading and writing OF braille, and
music.
In the biennial report OF Mr.. briggs,
which was sent back after 1t was sub
mitted recently, because 1t was ad-
dressed to Governor Spry instead of TO
Governor Cutler. the fact Is set forth
that for each year In school $500 is re-
ouIred for each blind student. Outside
pupils are required to pay $3.50 To this
the members OF the association object.
because they do not believe the people
OF Utah should pay out the extra $3.50
to train persons from outside the state.
II the student from outside pays $3.50
and the cost for the schooling of a stu
dent Is $500. the people Of Utah have
to make up the extra $3.50.
Another thing to which the members
of the Western association object
strongly is the library system. Tne
legislature several years ago appropri-
ated $500 to establish free braille IL
brary for the blind of Utah. This H.
brary has been fitted up and Is being
used in conjunction with the school.
1t Is alleged that the library is very
poorly managed One blind man of the
city stated this morning tnat he wrote
several times to Ogden for book be-
fore II was forthcoming
BY United States postal act all en-
bossed or braille literature Is mailable
In the United States free Of all postal
charges. This makes no expense In the
sending Of the books.
In most states catalogue of books
Is kept Upon application of q blind
person of the state the catalogue list
Is started. A two-weeks limit Is placed
upon each book. When one is read and
sent back. the next one on the cata-
logue list is sent without further ask
ing. This continues down the cata-
logue list Here, 1t is declared to be
impossible to get one book, let along a
series.
The members of the Western asso-
citation ask that a librarian be placed
in charge of the books and that sys-
tenn be adopted before another appro-
pTiation of $500 Is made In compliance
with a request in Mr.. briggs report.
The Connecticut blind school system
is held up as model. There every pos
sible courtesy Is shown the blind. At
the school all classes of students are
given three years training in any
branch of industry desired. At the con-
clusion of the school work the student
is given 5000 with which to start In
business.
In Utah there are about 120 adult
blind. They desire to have rectif1ed
the wrongs which they allege are in
vogue in Ogden. The matter Of an in
dustrial school in the city, no doubt.
Will be one of the many to be discussed
by the legislature this year. The West
ern association Is out in force for the
new institution, and hopes to receive
some satisfaction when the time comes.
The members were yesterday given ev-
cry assurance OF support by Governor
Spry.

DEAF AND BLIND SCHOOL.

There seems to be a persistent eff.
fort to break down and discredit the
state schools located in Ogden. I'm
der the heading. "Utah's Adult Blind
ASK Reforms at Ogden School," the
Salt Lake Telegram prints an attack
on the school for the Deaf and Blind,
which. in view of the fact that a sim
lar assault is being made on the In
dustrial school under the pretext of
establishing detention homes" forces
the conclusion that there is a concert
ed move to rob this city of its state
institutions. or, by greatly reducing
their state allowances. deprive them
Of that fostering care to which they
are entitled. and. therefore, eventual
ly destroy them.
The criticism in the Telegram, to
which an answer will be published, is
as follows:
A move TO build an industrial school
for the adult blind of the state was
launched at meeting Of a number of
prominent blind people of the city in
Gov. William Spry's office yesterday
afternoon. The necessities of a new in
stitution were placed before the chief
executive of the state in a foroible
manner and 1t is probably that the
matter VIII find Its way into the dis
cusslons of the next legislature
The move for q new school Is the
outcome, to large extent, OF dissatis-
faction on the part of the blind over
the present school for the deaf and
blind and the library for the blind,
both Of which institutions are In Og-
den. Improper management and class
discrimination are charged by a num-
Der of the blind here against Frank
DrigSs, who is at the head of the two
institutions.
The matter of the management of
the Ogden school has been brought
up on several occasions before the
meetings of the Western Association
for the Blind, but as yet no united ac-
tlon has been taken. individuals, how.
ever. have charged that mismanage-
ment In the school mas become chronic.
lhe protest on class discrimination
at the school Is TO the effect that the
blind are being neglected; that the
school is conducted almost solely for
the benefit of the mutes.
Just wnat Is the reason for this al
legged inefficiency Is not certain. Mem
that officials of the school are Jealous
that officials of the school arwe Jealous
oil the association and that this has oc.
casloned more or less discrimination
But the greater part of 1t is due. they
[ say, to the fact that the needs Of the
blind are not known. They assert that
members of the board OF control are
aware OF the needs of the mutes, but
are at loss when II comes to deter.
| mining the needs Of the blind.
For instance, short time ago an an.
| proprlation was made for the erection
| OF a gymnasium at this school. This
was built and equipped, 1t is said. In
| such manner that it was ut only for
the mutes. To the blind 1t is valueless.
This is also said TO be true of the work
| shops.
The blind are also finding fault with
| the doings within the school It is al
legged That there arc no industries
taught. In the schools of other states

declare the cities will remain desolat-

men are remained ruined. 1t Is the
most destructive calamity ever known
in Europe. The best estimates UP to

persons have perished. This is more

FALL IN PRICES.

The fall in prices Of manufacturers
materials from abroad, to which at

report of the chief of the bureau Of
statistics Of the department OF CON-
merce and labor, is also apparent in
the trade reports Of other countries.

marked decline in the value OF prta-

'Kassa" at the new National theater

on the mantle and had turned away
from it when the massive scenery,
weighing $50 pounds, fell toward her,
striking a table and smashing a num-
bcr of props"
The accident caused some commo-
tion among the audience. but Mrs.
Carter proceeded with her scene un-
disturbed.
