reminds faithful newspaper reader
Of curious aaecdote IN connection
with il When Turner first sent this
picture 70 the Royal academy IT WAS
hung among several brilliantly co!oaed
pictures. On vanishing day Turner
FOUND the effect OF bis dull gray rem
dering Of stormy sea altogether
spoiled by It's bright surroundings.
Without Z moments hesitation he
painted IN the lighted buoy n the fore
ground. and its dab OF crimson liSh;
showed so brilliantly u its gloomy set
ting that Turner's picture became the
prominent one. and its rivals on each
side were cast into the shade. 1t Is
curious. IL true. that the most notice

We are Informed that he will

This is as it should be, for there

The short time he has occupied
the bench he has demonstrated
his ability and the Bar all over

There is 4 bill in the Leglsla-

look after the county offices,
which if adopted VIII make room
fer more politicians to get good
fat Offices at the expense Of the
tax payers. While we believe an
inspector of the county Offices on
the line that the federal govern
ment employs will result in good,
yet we are not inclined to sup
port at this time any movement
that will create new Offices. We
believe there should be some way
found TO reduce expenses and
thereby reduce the taxation. how.
is problem that we confess We
are unable to Gevise, but if the
State is going 20 pile up the ex-
penses by creating new Offices we
cannot see how the taxation can
be lowered. The tendency is to
absorb all the money that is paid
into the treasures, if it cannot
be spent one way, 4 way will be
found to spend it another.

| Garland. St George, Richtield and
Price-the tax for n gymnasium has
been voted
In Cedar City for the year past the
city has spent its fund for gymnasium
in connection with the schools. and the
results are reported by both school and
city officers as very satisfactory.
Tooele City las laid plans for Il $1,000
public gymnasium to be erected on tho
same lot near its library, and to be
heated from the same plant
III Nianti an interesting expression of
the gymnasium idea came in the cree
ton of Il $4,000 armory- opera house
and gymnasium. The armory ana gym
naslum parts Of the building are useo
for part of the day by the state milf
tia of the city; for the remainder of the
time the gymnasium is used by the
schools ana general public. This was
provided by private capital.
IN Price there is q plan under way
to remodel n public hall into gynna-
SUM. and similar work is being CON
sidercd in various other towns.
These results should not be taken as
an adequate reflection of the results
along gymnasium lines. That the ac-
complishmentS are not greater seems
due chiefly to the fact that the people
are not quite ready to face the heavy
cost of establishing ana maintaining
well equipped cvmnasiums But they
are getting ready very rapidly and in
many ways things are doing that will
finally result in the establishment OF
such institutions.
All the new high schools are being
provided with gymnasium quarters.
so that basketball. courts and baseball
fields are to be found in most of our
cities. In Salt Lake City the public
PLAYGROUND movement Is the lateSt OK
preston of this movement. The city
council of Salt Lake has given sub
stantia aid to the project by granting
to the Playground league plot OF
two and one-haf acres in the middle
of Pioneer park. This plot will shortly
be opened to the public as well
equipped playground.
Another worthy result for the GYM
nasium cause is the erection of the
Deseret Gymnasium in Salt Lake. This
building is rcputed to be one of the
finest of its kind in the west; it will

undoubtedly exert u strong influence
in converting the people of the state
to the gymnasium idea. Indeed church
people generally are doing much -
foster the idea: In many places, where
new church buildings are being erected,
rooms are provided for gymnasium
purposes.
In Payson II $1,000 amusement hall
and gymnasium has recently hcci'
erected, under the auspices of the NJ.
/. A., yet stimulated by the encourage
ment Of the lihrarN-gymnasinm move
ment.
Taken all in all. therefore, the gym
nasium cause may be reported as max
Ing fair progress. even. though 1t may
not be growing along strictly municipal
lines. Through the city or the schools,
or both or through the church or

closest relations should be established
between the library and school au-
thoritieS. TO encourage cooperation,
the superintendent of schools or the
supervising principal of the high
school, in the cities and towns OF Wis
constn, is by virtue of his office a men,
Der OF the library board. This arrange
ment promises Il close alliance between
the two great educational agencies. For
years past there has been library
section of the NationaI Educational as
ISOLATION, attended by teachers and
Librarians, while at the meetings of
the American Library association the
subject of libraries and schools receives
much attention from year TO year
The library should supplement the
school at every point. Books should be
sent to the schools In the outlying
wards. 50 that no child will be debarrcd
by distance from library privileges.
The Librarian should keep Informed of
the work done in the several grades,
and should set aside books on the vari-
Gus topics for the use OF teachers and
students. Debating and literary socie-
ties should be encouraged by assistance
from the library staff. Special cards
may be given to teachers upon which
number of books may be drawn for
class room use. Teachers should be
encouraged to read wholesome books
to the children, thus creating love for
the good in literature.
THE PUBLIC GYMNASIUM.
There is a live desire IN many cities
for public gymnasiums. This desire
has been and Is being greatly stimu-
lutcd by the work OF the schools along
athletic lines. and by the activity of
such organizations as the NJ. |. a. and
NJ a ~ ri
phases OF physical education. Thus
far there have been comparatively few
instances of material expression of this
desire. The work of the commission
along these lines has been uniformly
welcomed; in some places the sugges-
lions given have been acted uppn,
though in all cases where substantial
results have been achieved the local
conditions have so modified matters
that no strictly municipal or public
gymnasium has yet been established
