MORE GROUND FOR THE CAPITOL

We are clad 10 sec that the coutcn.
tion about moro ground for the capitol
site il about to be amicsbly adjusted.
The owners Of the land desired OK
pressed their willingness to accept a
fair price for the desired land. and
probably the matter will be settled on
that basis The peril of reopeninC the
capitol site and the certainty that It
would cost Salt Lake City immense
sums of money 10 throw the question
into legislature, appear to have brought
the matter 10 crisis and paved the
way for settlement.
We still think. however. that, as
prudent proprietor would have done In
a like case. the capitol commission
would have lone better work for the
State ii it had proceeded to erect the
kind of a structure that the site is ht
for. rather than 10 mako . site ht for
predetermined style of capitol struc'
turc The building that seems to havo
been determined upon can. IT Is true,
be seen from State Street If the ground
which is desired is added to the capitol
site. But. If we had a high.stauiing,
conspicuous building on the site as 1t
is. one harmonious with the surround
iugs. AMI that would At in with the
SKYLINE. we think that the effect would
have been a good deal better than 1T
is likely TO be under the programme
that appears TO have been determined
upon,
However. the main thing is, to avoid
the contention and wrsncle that legls'
lativo session would be certain TO br1ng
on; and the addition of tho groun
desired is good since the commission

INSPECTING TIE SCHOOLS.

Mayor Gaynor of New York started
an inquiry into tho real practical ef-
tectivcucss of school instruction in
the way of imparting education TO
school pupils. New Jersey. II appears,
had taken up Mayor Gaynor's idea be-
fore it was uttered, and is trying 10
find out whether, in fact. the instruc-
tiou in the schools there is really in
structiyc. New Jersey has been prid-
ing itself upon tho great value OF it's
school teaching and the high standing
Of its schools; but being challenged
by the intimation of Governor Fort
some two wears ago, that school in
st1Iction was not what il was Cracked
up to be- Investigations were act on
foot. with results recently reported,
There was storm Of disapproval of
Governor Forts intimations, Just as
there has been an indignant resent
mcnt OF Mayor Ghyuor's criticisms,
was correct, and invited test. II has
taken a good while to get around TO
that tcst but there has been in one
case what is called ga searching Off
cial investigation following the sug-
gestions of Governor Fort AS we
find related in AN Eastern newspaper,
committee Of the State Board of
Education OF New Jersey undertook to
test the real knowledge that had been
acquired by students IN one Of the
normal schools Of that state, Gong
to the school the committee proposed
a spelling contest of ten words taken
from Il newspaper, viz. believe, corol-
larry. encyclopedia, dissuadc, contem-
porarv, receive, parallel, honorable, hy-
pothcsis. California, The principal of
the school protested against the test
thinking it was too severe. Then the
committee thought that a geographical
test might be applied. and that the pu-
pills might be asked to locate Morocco,
Manchuria, Mount Mckinley, and Vel
lowstouc Park. The principal thought
also that this was too severe, saying
that few of his pupils would be likely
10 know whore these places are. Then
a few questions in history were sug-
gcstcd, including the name of the Vice
President Of the United States and of
the King Of England. Here. again,
the principal admitted that his pupils
would not he likely to have the in

that. as we built the Panama canal
and own it, we havo n perfect right to
