BENEFIT SHOULD BE HAD FROM THE NEW
JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Statistics show that only one child out of four
teen in our school systems ever reach the high
school. Ninety per cent Of American children
must acquire their education before they are
fourteen years old. This year an effort is being
made in Utah 10 remedy this situation some
what by shortening the terms of elementary and
grammar school studies and introducing studies
that formerly were exclusively part of the high
school curriculum.
Years ago IL was thought that IL took the av-
erage child eight years 10 learn arithmetic read
ing, writing, spelling and smattering of his
tory and geography. This idea has been thrown
10 the discard, however, for il has been found
that the elements of these studies can be learned
in less than half that time
The three RS" are learned in the elementary
grades. Considering that so great proportion
of children quit school after the grammar years
have been passed, II is extremely worth while
that the grammar school system be bettered.
Employers complain that children coming 10
them from the public schools are frequently un.
prepared in the very elements of education
flimsy information inability 10 write or spell or
figure accurately, and bad memories The facts
are, however, that these elements were learned
i'm the first years at school, but leakage has
come in the later years.
But things are moving rapidly. Educators
have felt the sting of business mems criticisms
TO advantage, and every year the grammar
school child is being turned out with more
orkable education. Considering the disparity
between numbers, this is of more Importance 10
the state than super-exeellent high schools. The
education tina. gets down to all the people Is the
education that raises all the people.

Some of the newspapers Of Utah, il appears,
cannot be happy unless they have troubles. To
worry about selling their legitimate stock in
trade is pushing the limit. No business man in
other lines would allow such a proposition TO
cause him TO lose sleep and we know one news
paper man that the problem will not bother for a
single instant. The advertising columns of The
Sun are open to any and every legitimate propo-
stion--providing those desiring the advertising
pay the price. The editorial columns belong ex-
cusivey TO the editor and are not for sale at any
price. The advertising columns are our stock in
trade and we sell this space TO gain livelihood,
the same as a merchant sells the goods from his
shelves TO anyone who may apply, the same as
the banker takes deposit without inquiring
where the depositor got the money. and the same
as property owner rents his building 10 any APP
plicant who panks down the coin. Our bitterest
political opponent can buy our advertising space
and we will express our opinion of him in our
editorial columns whenever we see fit and that
opinion will not be warped biased or changed
by any transaction he may have with the bust
