Dramatic Mirror, whereas today the
college which does not offer course
in this subject sis rare indeed In
our leading universities this work has
been extended to include modern
drama, and in Harvard, under Profes
sor Baker himself, goes on the Liter
airy Digest, it has developed in a course
in the actual writing of plays. That
this course has a practical as well as
an academic significance may be sur
missed from the fact that more than
one of our younger dramatists have
emerged from Professor Bakers lee
ture room to the conquest of Broad
way. Perhaps the most conspicuous
case in point is that Of Edward Shell

Salvation Nell,' was produced by

IN the educational balances and found

transportation, conveying the children

this involves another question of vital

Legislators. But this, like all other
questions that confront a Democratic
commonwealth, must have public
opinion back of it in order that 1t
may succeed The people must see
the need and they can be depended
upon to do their part in providing
the remedy. This is why the con-
solidated school has always been and
is today a very important factor in
advancing the interests of good roads.
The children bring the conditions be-
fore their parents, the drivers before
the board of supervisors, and the
teachers before the patrons; the
school becomes the center of the
community life-the trading centre.

and concerts; and thus all are con-

good roads

strong bullying the weak, all these
difficulties are removed. The morals
of the pupils are guarded and con-
trolled on the way to and from
school. The danger that is often felt
in the South, of little girls travelling
along lonely roads with no protector
perhaps but little brother seven or
eight years of age, would no longer
worry us. The children often get
their feet or clothing wet on the way
to school in the morning and have
to sit all day in this condition, which
is menace to the health Of the
child, and transportation would elimi-
nate this evil.
In connection with this problem Of
health we might note that consolida-
ton will give us better buildings
more comfortable, superior in n.y.
gienic conditions, in heating facili-
ties, in ventilation, and render It pos
sible to better supply the school with
necessary apparatus for both primary
ard high school work. In addition to
the maps, charts and globes now In
use in our rural schools a much more
varied and consequently more valua-
BE supply could be obtained for the
same cost. This is a very desirable
Gccuisition as all our schools are sad
ly in need Of better equipment-bet-
ter libraries, better primary equip
ment, better laboratory supplies,
(where indeed we have none at pres
ent.)
With all these improvements will
come to us the possibility of securing
and retaining good teachers. At the
present time all our unframed, mex
perienced teachers find a haven in
our rural schools. These serve, as II
were, for the breaking ground for all
our teachers. But with consolidation
comes the ability to pay higher sal
aries, as many pupils but fewer
grades to teach, close supervision by
principal, the teacher II inexper
fenced obtaining from him assist
ance, guidance and advice. These and
many other advantages of the unity
ing method make the teaching mucf
more efficient.

weevil is ravaging our farmers, is
very important factor in our schoo
problem. The consolidated schoo

Utah G Grand Canyon Railroad.

After placing mortgage bonds to the amount of 25,0OO,OOOS the Utah & Grand Canyon railroad company has begun work on it's lines from Marys- vale, Piute county, Utah, to the north rim of the Grand Canyon. This line will traverse one of the greatest scenic routes in the United States as well as passing through a great forest of pine, estimated to have more than four bill lion feet of available timber. The company has already taken over the Utah & Southern railroad, supposed to be a subsidiary of the Denver & Rio Grande railroad.
 The building of this line of railroad means the opening up of the northern part of MOhave county, which for years has been a practical incognito. The only thing really known of the section is that it is beautiful in natural scenery, great plateaus covered with wild grasses, great forests of pine timbers, and rich in mineral. Under the benign influence of railroad con- munication the country would settle up as if by magic and make a most de- sirable possession. It is possible that this road may be brought across the Colorado river and become a main line from Arizona to the north. Our peo- pie should make the effort to get the road by offering inducement in the way of bonding the county.
