RON-BOUND SCHOOL
SCORED BY TEACHER
Mrs. N. l.. Johnson Decries
Use of Books.

The conventional 'iron-bound" school
curriculum was criticised by Mrs. Mariette
L. Johnson, principal of the School Of
Organic Education at Fairhope, Ala, in
an address delivered last night before
a large audience at the first fall meeting
of the Home and School Association in
the library OF Western High School.
Mrs. johnson told of the progress Of
the experimental school of which she is
principal which is conducted upon an
endowment Of Joseph Fels.
When the school was opened four
years ago." said Mrs. Johnson, we had
but six pupils, and when it opened last
Monday for the year We had 100 pupils.
The work that We have accomplished
has proved that the system OF compelling
the child to meet the requirements of an
iron-bound. cirriculum in school is wrong
and that the purpose of the school should
be to meet the needs of the child.
up to ten years of age the pupils Of
our school do not use books unless they
wish 10 read. Instead OF books, they
have music and art. handwork, garden

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE LIQUOR
QUESTION.
Editor Republican,:

Editor Republican:
In the election on the. 27th of June,
we approach the liquor question from
different view point to what we
have ever approached It before.
In our past experience in respect
to saloons, they always being present
with us, we have striven to keep our
own feet from straying there, that
we might hold ourselves free from
the manifest evil consequences that
result from the use of intoxicating IL
quors. Then, also, we used our in
fluence to guard our families, and the
members OF the community with
whom we lived, to keep them from
being degraded by its use.
Finally, the people prevailed upon
the different municipal and county
officers, TO refuse to license the
sale of intoxicating liquors. So, that
now, We have whole county, with all
its towns and cities, free from any le-
CALLED liquor traffic. No one has the
RIGHT to sell liquors within Cache
county, the people have so declared
II, their officers have SO enacted it.
Hence our conditions are different
now, from what hey have been be-
fore, since pioneer days. No saloons,
no visible drinking, or drunkenness.
The streets in the cities, the highways
leading from town to town, are now

STRICT PROHIBITION

The Salt Lake Clearing House asso-

and strict regulation of saloons were
preferable to prohibition. The Clear.

membership practically every bank in

would be blow to the business inter.

When the association met at noon
yesterday it was suggested that the
organization go on record on the
question of high license or prohibi.
ton. Some Of the members OF the as
ISOLATION objected to the association
taking any action whatever on the
question. However, 1t was finally de-
cided to draft resolution to the eff.
feet that the proper regulation Of sa-
looms with high license was preferable
to prohibition.
