Boston Cor Fitchburg Sentinel.
Some of the state officials who know
about the way money Is drawn from
the state treasury for reimbursement
for the loss of property caused by deer
are suspicious Of the fairness of some
OF the payments. Though the total for
this season has not been computed yet,
there have been several thousand dol.
lars paid out already. The money
comes from the county treasury In
the first place and then the state reim-
burses the county. Some OF the Of
ficials are disposed to believe that If
the deer had not eaten the crops, but
II the farmer had got all he could from
them when fully grown, he would not
get as much rs he has from the state
treasury. Selectmen are also thought
to be very thrifty in making charges.
The law allows 81 for each case where
the chairman of the board nppraises
deer damages. He Is also allowed 20
cents n mile travel, one way, to the
farm where the damages were done
Practice varies so much between adj

Is believed that the difference Is In tho

TIE FUTURE SCHOOL.

A hint ofwhat tho future schools VIII
be was conveyed in the address before
the Teachers Association last evening.
DR.. Cooks view that the duty of the
school is primarily to cause the chill
dren to desire to acquire knowledge be-
cause Of the use which they preccire 1t
has for them. while in one sense a
novel one. has been accepted in theory
for some time past by many of the lead
Ing educators OF the nation.
It has often been claimed that the
child should be trained to do work OF
which he sees no value and in which he
has no interest; that he should love
knowledge for It's own sake, and not
from use which he sees for 1t. 1t was
hoped that in this way the child would
gain n salutary discipline, and would
acquire knowledge at the same time.
1t was supposed that he would learn
duty and acquire n good habit In the
same act of doing tina: which was not
interesting and which, therefore, might
have been dsagreeablc to him.
This theory was fully exploited half

Keller FROM TAN BURDENS.

An esteemed friend OF the News"
made the remark the other day that the
greatest need OF the people of Utah ut
present Is relief from the tax burdens
under which they are staggering. Ana
this is true, Our legislators would
do we'll to consider tho situation ana
give the people n rest
The tax burdens carried by the pco-
pie of Salt Lake City, under an un-
American government are specially
heavy. Under this government people
have actually been driven out OF their
homes. Many have sought refuge In
apartment houses where they pay OK
orbitant prices for poor nccommoda-
tons, but it Is the best they can do
when they cannot afford to pay the
ruinous taxes levied against n home.
Others have left tho City.
One trouble with the exchange Of the
home for tho apartment house IL, that
1t tends toward the destruction of the
family. In an apartment house chill
tlrcn are not welcome. Dogs may, o..
may not be. but children never. But
where that sentiment prevails there can
be no home. There may BIZ Il place
in which to sleep, but no home. Ana
thus it has}come to pass that through
the eXorbtant taxes a blow has hccn
struck in this City against tho home
and the family, from which there can
be no recovery until the government Is
