deal of minor sickness, as ribsd to
the heat.

NATIONAL EDUCATORS.
Salt Lake Convention Greatest
In Their History.

Prof. George F. Gorow, who re-
turned the last of the week from
the National Educational Associa-
ticn convention at Salt Lake, says
that it is the general opinion of
those who attended that this wasthe
best entertained convention ever
held by the Association. The peo-
pie of Salt Lake left no hing un-
done to show the de.ega.e .es good
time The musical program YVES cne
continual round of delight The
state university chorus club gave
the oratorio Creation one night;
and the magnificent chorus, The
Heavens are Telling, came just as
the sun was setting cut across the
placid lake in a sea of golden glory
IA most spectacular frame for such
musical creation. The Springville
high school chorus, Of about $50
members, gave one musical evening,
with surprising success; and the
Brigham Young college gave one
evenings entertainment. There were
miles and miles of flags all over
the city, and everything about the
cvity betokened a lively interest in
the great convention. The S ate
had appropriated $1,000 to help
meet the expenses, and the city
made another liberal appropriation,
besides all that was done by the
commercial club and the other coll
lective and private enterprises. AL
together, Prof. Gorow says it was
the finest meeting the association
has ever held; though the attend
ance was not quite as large as it
has been on some other occasions
