is expected that the majority Of them
win be present when Colonel William
Boyce Thompson. the chairman, calls
the meeting to order. The committee,
1t is assumed. will be in session at
least two days.
Colonel Thompson In an interview
given here recently, admitted that
in making choice from among the
many suggestions for memorial
which have come to the National
headquarters, the committee has "a
Job on its hands"
"The memorial which is ultimately
chosen" said Col. Thompson, must
as far as ii is possible, carry into
the future the lowing spirit of that
great leader who for two generations
led his countrymen forward and up
ward. 1t must carry on the memory
of the man who struck from the
shoulder and hit hard but never foul
ed; who spoke from heart sound
and true, but never sentimental
who looked into the future with q
keen eye which was never blinded
by impracticable visions. The memoir
ial that is finally chosen must carry
on the personality and the work Of
a man who was one of the worlds
titans. The committee that has the
responsibility Of choosing the form
Of that memorial has job on 1T

In recent trip through tie state
my attention was called h. the school
houses and their surroundings as
seen from the car. 1t was indeed a
great surprise tc note how few Of the
scboolhouses had made any attempt
whatever towards identifying their
grounds by paintings of any kind. In
some istances the school houses bore
evidence OF having been built many
years ago, indicating that the teach
ers and pupils of such schools had
endured the burning sun Of the sum-
mer and the sharp wind and billiards.
of the winter during these years.
This has all been due to neglect In
not having planted number OF trees
which would have served both for
shade and for q wind break. The
Horticultural department OF the Utah
Agricultural College is making an ef-
fort to convince the public of the inn
portance OF such planting and 1t
stands ever ready to assist with prac-
teal suggestions and any other help
that may be desired.
II is a self evident fact that tree
planting around school houses would
not only be comfort to the teacher
and pupils but would add much to
the beauty Of the structure as well.
In many instances the building is
constructed in most excellent fash
ion. No expense has BEEN spared TO
secure all the modern conveniences
which the architect has desired in

Many Of the vessels constructed by
the Shipping board were fabricated
for certain special purposes such as
the carrying Of aeroplanes. munitions

be readily adapted to the carrying of

the wooden ones will be worthless as
