FACTS AS TO SCHOOLS.

In a special local article yesterday
morning, in The Tribune, some review
was made of unhistorical statements
made in a church folder, issued for cir
culation during G, A. r, Encampment
week. That showed that the claim
vanccment of public schools on the
part of the first settlers is perversion
of fact. For, the carly rulers of Utah
were not in favor of free public
them And in comparatively recent
times, it was common to hear from
high ecclesiasts a condemnation Of free
public schools as pauperizing. Free
public schools were opposed in this
city, and kept out, under Mormon con
troll and il was not until the non
Mormons got control Of one Of the city
school districts-undcr the old regime
there were upwards Of twenty sepa
rate school districts in this city-that
there was a free public school in Salt
Lake. The first one was put in against
Mormon opposition, and not until the
non Mormons got control of enough
districts TO show by contrast the adj
the Mormons yield and consent TO the
consolidation of the city into one school
district and the opening of free schools
in all the city.
AS late as 1888. the opposition TO
free public schools by the Saints was
pronounced. In the Territorial Lcgis.
laturc of 1883, there were some non
Mormon members. Those in the lower
house made. a strenuous effort to have
a free public school law passed. Mr..
er of Schools, appointed by the Prcsi-
dent; he drew free school bill Ii
was put through the lower house by
the insstent efforts of Judge H. D.
Hoge and others. But III the upper
house (tbe Legislative Council) mis-
cradle substitute was adopted. provid.
ing that the public school funds should
be divided between the churches in the
proportion of the children of school
age belonging TO the members Of the
respective churches, The lower house
thus got its cue, and immediately con
Cured in the action Of the Council.
OF course the Governor. having the
power of absolute veto, killed the silly
bill.
That is typical case Of the dealing
of the Saints with the free public
school question, and it is amazing TO
see the cffrontery now displayed by
the facts aud TO twist history to
