TO THE TRUSTEES OF
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
OF CASSIA COUNTY.

Ladies and Gentlemen;
1t will be but short time before
we enter upon another school year.
We, the undersigned, by virtue of our
office, being interested with you in
our schools and children, beg leave
to call your attention to the follow
ing items:
|. The state board of health de-
mands that your house be lighted
properly, by having windows back or
on the left of the child or both.
Is yours lighted that way? If not
why not close up window if necess
airy and place it elsewhere so that the
children's eyes may be protected.
2, Are your blackboards in such
condition that your child must strain
its eyes to read? If so we would
suggest coat of paint.
3. Have you enough room in the
building to give the child the amount
of air it is entitled to? 1t requires
from 1900 to $500 cubic feet of fresh
air per hour.
A. What is the condition of the
desks and chairs? Improperly ar
ranged seats and desks may not only
cause spinal defoi mites, but also
effect the eyesght.
5. What water supply are you
Offering the children? Do you supply
the individual cup? Would it not be
well, if you havn't sanitary fount-
ain, to correspond with the county
superintendent and obtain one
6. Are your water closets and
urinal> as they should be? Are they
built so that the snow and rain are
kept out? Do you supply toilet paper?
Are the buildings kept free from
vulgar writing?
7. We do not considerit advisable
W SlOSt SCUOOl DtCduSt Ol COUldS-
ious diseases in community. The
best way to control most of the epid-
emics is to keep the school open,
under the close supervision of the
teacher and the board of health
8. All necessary improvements
must be made before the opening of
school, or by order of the board of
health, the building will be closed
until such time as the required inn
provements are made.

on
Industrial Re-
lations.

Chairman Frank p. Walsh and
the representatives of labor will
present minority report for the
Commission on Industrial Rela-
tons, and majority report will
be handed IN by the three repre-
sentatives of capital, who will be
supported by Mrs. Borden |.

was given a job on the Commis-
sion. The Commission attracted
interest particularly because of

III examination of John ID. Rookie
teller, Jr. Walsh is bitterly ar
raigned by some of his associates
on the Commission, and he is
accused OF adv vancing all sorts of
socialistic dogma. This charge
is sustained by his proposal that
all estates in excess of one million
dollars be seized.
1t may at first seem disappoint-
my mat so important a Com
mission should tail in presenting
a unanimous report, but when it
is recalled that the United State,
Supreme Court usually divides in
about the same proportion.
whenever there is an important
question involved, 1T is hardly
reasonable to expect any other
result.
Walsh is the victim of attack
Tor very SIMPLE reasons that were
apparent TO everyone who at
tended the hearings in different
parts OF the country. His won

tween labor and capital. and his
fearless championship of human
rights. ought to mark him as one
OF humanity's noblest friends.
But quite on the contrary. it has
brought the customary ridicule
and misinterpretation that is
usually manufactured by that
part OF the press which faithfully
serve Its masters. One mipht
suppose that Walsh was pop
eyed. red hsted devil from the
things that have been said of him.
On the contrary he is a successful
attorney; one of the best cross
examiners iii the country; and he
is gifted with the power to anal

possessed by few men. Perhaps
1t was a fault, but Walsh was
brutally direct with Mr.. Rookie
teller and some of the witnesses
and whenever he gave a name to

was no mistaking a spade for a
soup tureen.

Apropos of nothing at all. yester-

PLAYERS and Calhoun lost his head and
attacked the Baron infielder. Coombs
promptly and efficiently knocked Cal

will be heard today when President
Baugh announces a heavy fine and
suspension for both belligerents.
But the ball players should not be
censured too heavily for their nervous
conduct yesterday afternoon, as the
umpiring of O'Toole and Breitenstein
was of the citron variety and smelled
to the skies. Both the Gulls and the
Barons suffered at the hands of the
erring arbiters and taking everything
into consideration it was a pleasant
afternoon?
The matinee started off badly. Burke,
the relief catcher of the Gulls, caught
fast ball on his thumb and split
the digit seriously. 1t will be several
weeks before Burke can play ball
again. This accident affects the chance
of the Gulls to be in the race.

lineup and the loss of Hub Northen.

tory over the faltering Barons. With
all Schmidt's boisterous conduct, one
