DR.. W|DTSOE TALKS
To MANUFACTURERS
Utah Agricultural College
Professor Discusses Need
of Better Education.

An educated nation, in which every
be educated so that he can take a proper
pride in his work. was the future Utopia
painted by Dr. John A. Widtsoe, presi-
dent Of the extension department Of the
Utah Agricultural college. in an address
last night before a membership meeting
OF the Manufacturers ASSOCIATE ton OF Utah.
He advocated the education of persons
destined for even the lowest form of la
Dor and asserted that this would do much
TO raise the standard of labor, would not
degrade the professions and would de-
stroy the present aristocracy OF educa-
ton.
The meeting which DR.. Widtsoe ad-
dressed was held at the Chamber Of Com
merce rooms In the Vermont building.
The session differed from the usual mem
bership meeting Of the manufacturers
association in that the wives Of the mem
bers and women members of the Utah
Home Industries associa tion were invited.
DR.. Widtsoe's subject was Industrial
Education, He said that farmers should
be educated so that they will know the
chemicals In the SOIL He facetiously as
serted that with this knowledge they
would take as much pride In plowing a
field as doctors do in cutting off a pa
TENTS leg. He said that under such Il
regime there would be educated street
sweepers. who would remove the rubbish
in a scientific and sanitary manner.
A report made by George S. McAllister,
president OF the association, on work ac-
complished since the last meeting showed
that progress had been made In the plan
to further selling OF Utah made goods
by the coupon system. lie reported that
while efforts TO secure all Utah marble
for the capitol had failed the commit
tee hoped to see the remaining contracts
given TO home companies.
