EDUCATION CALLS
FOR PREPARATION
Doctor Muerman Declares
Opening of Panama Canal
Demands Attention.

"Whcre cooperation is the keynote
to the success Of commonwealth, as II
is in Utah, and the word cooperative
forms a part of one or moro sigus IN
almost every city or community In the
state, il seems that talk on the sub
iect here tonight is uncalled for, said
DR.. j. C.. Muerman of the United States
bureau Of education, in his address be-
fore the Teacher Parent association in
the Lafayette school last night,
HBut where cooperation has played
such an important part IN the grown
of state" DR.. Muerman continued,
its value should be most appreciated.
! I'm glad to say that Utah ranks as
high as second class, with reference TO
illfteracy among American born, among
the states Of this great country Of
ours. According to the census Of 1910,
there were only four Oft of each 1000
American born citizens in Utah who
could neither read nor write. This is
record to be proud Of, but let US
hope that some day it will be even bet
ter -
DIR. Muerman called attention to the
fact that the majority OF the foreign
born in Utah came from the northern
part or Europe, where education re.
ceives serious attention. lie referred
to statistics which showed that the tide
of immigration to the United States
during the last few years had come
from Italy and Southern Europe, where
the percentage Of illiteracy IS much
higher.
With the opening Of the Panama ca
nal, DR.. Muerman declared, the immi-
grants who are now coming through
New York and other eastern ports will
land on the Pacific coast, and many
will naturally drift into Utah. To meet
this contingency he urged the neces'
sity of the heartiest cooperation be.
tween the parents and the teachers of
the public schools.
DR.. Muerman reviewed briefly the
work done by the vaious Teacher-Par-
ent associations throughout the couu'
try during the past seventeen years,
and outlined the purpose of the or
ganizatiop. He said he considered or
ganized play a necessary part Of chill:
dren s education and complimented
Salt Lake on its playground move
ment,
At the close Of Dr.. Muerman e ad-
dress Superintendent D. H. Christensen
of the Salt Lake public schools gave a
short talk on the work Of the differ
ent parents clubs In the city.

ALLEGE THAT FATHER
MISTREATS HIS SON
P. G. Culley May Face Judge McMas
ter on Charge OF Burning Soles OF
His Boys Feet.

P. G. Culley of Bingham, who is said
TO have inflicted severe burns with a
red-hot poker on the feet of his son,
John Culley, aged 8, when he learned
that his son had stolen money, will be
brought before Judge Alexander Nc
Master of the Juvenile court next
Tuesday on complaint which will be
filed by Guardello Brown, chief pro-
baton officer of the Juvenile court.
1t is said Young Cnlley stole SO sew
eral weeks ago When his father
learned of the theft, according to the
boys mother, the father heated the
poker and burned the soles of the boy s
feet nearly to the bone. The boy has
since been in bed suffering from the
wounds. The boys condition was
called to the attention of Probation Of
ficer Brown, who investigated the case
yesterday.
1t has not yet been learned from
whom the boy stole the money and it is
probable no action will be brought
against him, in that the authorities
feel he has had sufficient punishment
The elder Culley will probably be
charged with contributing to the de-
linquency of q minor

Unsatisfactory in West.

Banking In the intermountain re-
gion presents more unsatisfactory
conditions than in any part Of the
country and vastly more unsatisfac-
tory than In Europe.
The custom OF allowing overdrafts
In this part of the country has had
a banerul effect. Next 10 public fear,
there Is no more serious drain On

Fortunately this custom is now be-
ing elimina ted
Another unfortunate condition that
confronts US in Salt Lake is the fact
that big Salt Lake firms are selling

They do this because II is good busi-
ness to do so. They pay . per cent
