OF the above held happily together by
a hustling commercial club, you have
almost perfect social and CONNER
cial condition. That is Logan and
Cache valley. First Logan has two
good schools that educates the hand
as well as the brain. Schools that
take the raw material, the children,
and mould them into scientific and

lege are real wealth producers. We
saw boys take bars Of iron that were
worth only a few cents and forge
them into bolts, wagon irons, chains,
clevices, and horse shoes, that were
worth dollars, thus adding to the real
wealth of the country, not only that
those boys were preparing themselves
to add one hundred per cent more to
the farms they will occupy than the

schools are taught to draft houses.

drafts. We saw them at work and the
skill, both of brain and the hands,
were wonderful.

lunch in an eastern private school
where coking was advertised as one

Logan, are equal to the work OF the
old masters. Then music, music that
